Essential Chest and Shoulders (Men's Health Peak Conditioning Guides)

"I have this book and essential arms too, they compliment each other quite nicely. This book really is for beginners, but in that repect it is an excellent book. Inside you have a 6 week training program and then 4 extension programs which look at different aspects of training, strength, size, sports and using different equipment. For those who want to pack on the muscle this probably isn't the best book, but the concepts considered go further than simply the weights, it promotes a healthy intelligent attitude towards weight lighting and training in general, it also considers cardio work. It is generally a good all round read i think once you understand everything in this book it lets you make better decisions about which direction you want to go in and then perhaps a more advanced book will be neccessary, for the price its worth starting here."
