Buy it!
Let me start by saying that I have some experience weight lifting and have performed many of these exercises but I don't workout everyday and I certainly don't go to the gym as often as I'd like. The honest truth of it is that I had so many questions and there is so much information out there that it's a bit overwhelming.
With that in mind this book is fantastic! It is everything I could have ever asked (and I am tremendously inquisitive) and more. I have spent hours on days on weeks on months on YouTube and google trying to gather information and put pieces together to "do weight lifting right" so to speak. This book clearly lays everything out just perfectly. From how many sets to do, how often to train, reps , a breakdown of every muscle and how to build them. I mean I'm ranting now but I could go on and on about this book.
As for the one star review that finds this book condescending, I have to disagree. I didnt find anything about this book to be insulting and I actually find the humor he uses keeps me reading.
I have NEVER read a workout book cover to cover and I cant seem to put this one down, I feel 100% confident at the gym because I truly feel like I understand things now.
For the record I was not at all influenced to give this review, this is just a really good buy for women who don't quite know how to fit together all the pieces of weight training.
