Exercise | Home » » The Complete Book of Shoulders and Arms: The Definitive Resource for Shaping and Strengthening the Shoulders and Arms | | | | | | | Description: | | For men, broad shoulders and muscular arms are the archetype for strength and power. For women, the sagging underarm is one of the most common trouble spots. For both, defined deltoids make the waist appear smaller and separate the arm from the shoulder, creating an athletic and healthy look. Body-concious modern fashions make training the shoulders and arms a priority for everyone.The Complete Book of Shoulders and Arms is the definitive resource to train these muscles safely. Each exercise is illustrated in detail, ranked for difficulty, flagged for lower-back risk and accompanied by explicit instructions and specific training tips to achieve optimal results. The exercise routines are based on the most current research in sports medicine/exercise physiology and were created by top strength coaches, athletes, personal trainers, exercise physiologists, doctors, physical therapists and nutritionists. Programs are designed for everyone from the novice to the advanced enthusiast, for the corporate executive with time-crunched schedules and for the senior concerned with wellness. | | | Product Details: | | | Author:

 An excellent guide to Shoulder and Arms DevelopmentJul 18, 2006
I bought this book after I bought the "The complete book of ABS" by the same authors. I was so impressed by the thoroughness and effectiveness of the first book, that I decided to try this one and "The complete book of butt and legs".
Here you will find every you need to: understand the muscles involved, how to warm and stretch them, how to perform all major exercises, and of course complete routines designed to fit the needs of almost everybody.
If you liked "The complete book of ABS", you will love this one.

Excellent book!Nov 04, 2001
This is a virtual encyclopedia of exercises to target the deltoids, trapezius, biceps and triceps. Unlike a lot of books, this one doesn't hand you a pre-fab workout for you to follow mindlessly. It's perfect for anyone who's looking to create a tailor-made workout based on their fitness level and available equipment, including barbells, dumbbells, and pulley/weight-stack machines. Its encyclopedic approach also helps alleviate boredom when your routine gets 'routine.' While beginners might need a more structured approach starting out, this is still a good book for advanced beginners who have already integrated weight training into a regular fitness regimen.

Highly recommendedSep 01, 2001
I have a dozen or so workout/wieght lifting books and Kurt Burngardt "Complete Book" series is by far the best. Follow his workouts and advice and you will get excellent results. When is Kurt going to finish the series with a "Complete Book of Chest and Back"? I will buy the first copy. I hope it is comming.
