One of my go to bodybuilding reference books has always been Arnold Schwarzenegger's Encyclopedia of Bodybuilding. Now, Beyond Brawn is that book. It is written in a easy to read and digest format with itemized chapters for quick reference. This book works well for the non-competitive weight lifters and helps one see the many aspects of starting with a good foundation while not having to waste years on trial and error. Stuart McRobert did a great and thorough job.
This replaces the original copy of the same book I purchased back in 1999, and has helped me make better gains in strength and size than any of the BS routines pushed by all of the muscle rags through the years….. THANKS!
