Book Reviews of The Great Barbell Handbook
Book Review: Excellent book
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this book. I picked it up at a local store and came back to buy more by the same author. The book gives you plenty of exercises organized by different muscle groups, which is exactly what I wanted. Descriptions are detailed and pictures show clearly the proper position and form for each exercise.
Summary of The Great Barbell Handbook
Whether you are a novice to strength training or have been training with dumbbells and want a little more variety or challenge, then barbell training is an excellent option.In this book we try to take a functional approach to strength training, which simply means that the exercises you see here resemble movements done in everyday life. The idea is that if you can get strong and efficient at these movements, then the everyday tasks you demand from your body get easier and easier. In addition, with increased strength comes a sense of self-assurance and confidence.
Given today's hectic life, setting up a complete gym at home is a practical and time saving alternative to the gym. By adding barbells to your setup, you have brought yourself closer to the variety of exercises that are available in most gyms and health clubs.
