Summary: Only Book you'll ever beed
Comment: This book has everything. To include an inspirational history of bodybuilding. Reading about the competitions and Arnold's rise in the bodybuilding world just gets you PUMPED to work out harder. The exercises are documented and easy to read. And the creditials of the author say it all.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Must be on any fitness enthusiats shelf.
Comment: I call this book a must have.
One, it's huge. Takes up a lot of space on your shelf.
Two, it's huge. It has very good photos illustrating more bodypart exercises and inspirations than most of us will ever use.
The photos are all fantastic quality with lots of inspiration.
The book is not without flaws. The routines, even the beginner routines, would put the majority of exercisers into a state of overtraining.
There also seems to be a lot of the old fashioned "Bulk and Cut" advice.
Putting heavy whipping cream into milkshakes for extra fat calories and such. Not the healthiest way to go.
All in all though, I think that the sheer volume of information and inspiration is worth these issues.
I have yet to find a single, stand alone bodybuilding book that works for everyone.
For me, the perfect routine lies somewhere between the excessive volume here, and the intensity of Mike Mentzer's Heavy Duty.
But your metabolism, structure, hormone levels, etc. are not identical to mine. So learn what you can and figure out what makes sense to you.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Amazing book!
Comment: What a great book by the one and only Arnold! Extremely detailed with so much great information and pictures and examples of just everything you need to know about bodybuilding. This is the Bible of Bodybuilding! I recommend to anyone that wants to get in shape or become a serious bodybuilder or even just the regular joe schmoe!
Customer Rating: 
Summary: Could be much better!
Comment: I have bought many bodybuilding books and this one is not very good. Here is why:
1. It's large and heavy - it's very difficult to keep this book on your lap and read. The only option is to put on the table. If you would like to take this book with you to the gym, or sit comfortably in a chair and read it - forget it, your arm will fall off.
2. Book is filled with photo's - if you enjoy the history of bodybuilding - this could be fine. But I expected photo's just to illustrate the exercises, not the review of American bodybuilding, especially from 20-30 years ago. Better make a dedicated book with photos and instead in this book provide clear examples for exercises.
3. Programs are not easy to adapt if you are starting bodybuilder and there is not enough variety to fit into your needs. I expected clear and simple programs with variations depending on my particular needs. There is a program and it's hard to figure it out how to properly change it for my needs.
4. Nutrition is a very short chapter at the end. I expected more advice and examples which would make it easier for me to understand and adapt. For example program Body for Life offers very easy instructions for meals and protein drinks etc. As far as easy to understand exercises with good and easy to understand photo's I found that Joe Weider's book is much better (and a bit lighter)...
Customer Rating:
Summary: Excellent book!
Comment: The most thorough book I've seen. Arnold Schwarzenegger did a remarkable job covering any aspect of bodybuilding. From the different exercises, programs and nutrition to the most subtle topics. I read a few other books and this book is definitely the best one I read so far - VERY RECOMMENDED!
