A Muscle Building Book Overview

Did you know that many people are starting their bodybuilding training by buying a muscle building book?

Well, if you think for a moment, it is only natural that you look for information before adventuring into the unknown. The first time I tried to find out some information about a weight training program, the Internet was very useful. I found a number of pages containing detailed training programs, dieting tips and chat forums, but to be honest the amount of information was overwhelming, even for an open minded guy like me. Therefore, a muscle building book was more appropriate for what I intended to do, so I went to the bookstore and got one.

The advantages of finding a good muscle building book are considerable, and on of the first that come into my mind is that it allowed me time to ‘digest’ the information. I took the time to read every page and even to take notes, whenever I found something relevant for my training program or for my future training goals.

  • Good muscle building books are well structured, they contain many suggestive illustrations and graphics and they offer concrete solutions for anyone interested in building up muscles.
  • A muscle building manual should include topics and information accessible to professional trainers but also to the average Joe who wants to start training with weights.

However, finding a quality muscle building book could turn into a true challenge today, considering the fact that there are many so-called ‘fitness gurus’ or ‘ bodybuilding gurus’ who want to sell their books. The majority of such books are just fillers or they discuss general topics, without bringing any novelty or useful information. In my research for the best muscle building book, I have come over a number of books that were so technical that I needed a medical dictionary to ‘translate’ the terms.

This is why I came to the conclusion that a good muscle building book should be easy to understand but the level of information should be maintained to professional levels. A good example is when I wanted to find out more about the way our body converts food into energy and how much of the calories are used for muscular cells growth. Some of the book directories I have found were describing the entire process using a complex medical terminology, including types of cells or complicated processes names. One book in particular has drawn my attention, describing the same process using a plain and effective example, with a car that has a 40 liter tank and is filled with 50 liters of gas. I found that amazingly simple J

Here is my top three muscle building book; I am sure you will find many other good examples, and I am open to add them to my list.

1. ‘Strength Training Anatomy’, by Frederic Delavier

2. ‘Stretching Scientifically’ by Thomas Kurz

3. ‘The Wisdom of Mike Mentzer: The Art, Science and Philosophy of a Bodybuilding Legend’.

Just remember that there are books out there that can actually do more harm than good by providing poor muscle building information. In 90% of the cases, such books are distributed for free or for few bucks and they are used for advertising all sorts of supplements or muscle building pills. Try to make the difference between books that you can actually use in your training preparation and those who are sold for marketing purposes. Good luck!
