Over 500 full-color photos and 485 full-color illustrations allow you to go inside 60 exercises, 19 stretches, and 9 programmed workouts to see how muscles interact with surrounding joints and skeletal structures and how variations, progressions, and sequencing can affect muscle recruitment, the underlying structures, and ultimately the results.

This is my Guide for working out

I have been using Workout II for my workouts for ten years or so with great success. I am 75 and trying to maintain muscle mass and fitness. This book is packed with great information and illustrations, giving alternatives to standard exercises that I can’t use because of my age and unique body limits. I bought this for my grandsons to use for their weight training regimens.
