Men's Health The Book of Muscle

Rating: 4.5/5 Stars
Rank: 2830

Schuler's guy-talk style makes the book enjoyable to read, even on days when you have no intention of going to the gym. The artistic drawings of muscle groups, full-color photographs of beginning and ending positions of every exercise, and stunning close-ups of buffed body parts make The Book of Muscle is as beautiful as it is practical and motivating, an exceptional gift for the fitness guy in your life, and well worth the price.

Highly recommended for men wanting to get in shape or stay there. --Joan Price
