Power. Speed. Agility. Pride. These are
just a few of the reasons why bodybuilding has become the
fastest growing sport in America. From gymnasts to football
players, from golfers to boxers, athletes everywhere now are
working out with weights to maximize their performance and
their lives. And you can, too, thanks to one man and one
book: Arnold Schwarzenegger and his Encyclopedia of Modern
Bodybuilding. Across the country and around the world
it's recognized as the definitive source on the subject --
the "bible of bodybuilding."
Now, fifteen fantastic years after that first publication,
Arnold is ready to teach and motivate a new generation of
athletes with this fully updated and revised New
Encyclopedia of Modern Bodybuilding.
Inside, Arnold covers all the very latest advances in both
training and competition, with new sections on diet and
nutrition, the treatment and prevention of injuries, and
methods of training, each illustrated with detailed photos
featuring bodybuilding's newest stars.
Plus, all the features that made this book a classic are
still here. You'll find every facet of bodybuilding, from the
history of the sport to a complete analysis of the muscles in
the body, including Arnold's tips on how to strengthen,
sculpt, and define each and every muscle to create the
ultimate balanced physique.
Encompassing every stage of your development, the
encyclopedia outlines specific training programs for basic,
advanced, and competition-level bodybuilders. You'll get
expert advice on everything, from what equipment the beginner
should use to complete career and competition strategies for
the elite bodybuilder.
Whether it's your first time in the gym or you're a pro
bodybuilder competing in a top event, Arnold's inside advice
on training and exercise will help you achieve your best.
Then, once you're ready, The New Encyclopedia of Modern
Bodybuilding will prepare you for the intense
psychological warfare of professional competition.
Applying his experience as the only seven-time Mr.
Olympia, as well as his monumental success as an
international film star, Arnold shares his secrets about
dedication, training, and commitment that will allow you to
take control of your body and reach your ultimate potential.
