great descriptions and pictures. could have slightly better descriptions of the movements involved in getting from start to finish. I use this in conjunction with another book, Scrawny to Brawny, to supplement the descriptions of correct form so I get things right. The Scrawny to Brawny book gives the FIRST AND ONLY good description of what a person like me, who is not very limber, should do before starting to lift. Get flexible first and then start lifting.

I've used this book for several years, and I can say it's excellent for its purpose. What I did: set up a miniature gym in my small house, focusing on dumbbells. I have a Body Solid bench and rack for the weights and a Swiss Ball, that's it. My whole set-up ran me $800, which is what I spent each year on gym membership. I love all the time I save; no travel, no gym bag, lock, checking in, waiting in line, avoiding the sight of other naked men in the showers, etc. Results: I am a typical white guy, aged 48. I will never compete for Mr. Universe, but I remain trim [6'2" / 175lbs] and strong enough to get up at 5:30 each morning for a full, challenging day. I have no heart disease, despite the fact that every other man in my family has had it by this age. Rock on. The book tells you all you need to know to make an effective workout. You will need to test different techniques and see what works for you; everyone is different. I find the criticisms of the book rather funny. Some guys think they need more specific techniques or one exercise to work one muscle, by name. I had no idea so many elite body builders lived in America. Where are these guys? When I look around me at the airport or the shopping mall, it's hard to find a man over 40 with a trim waist. Many of these old hogs look like they are pregnant. Don't let it happen to you! Follow the Home Workout Bible plan, and you'll stand out like a giraffe in the pig pen.
