it good,its excellent book,i can use it for my assignment
Book Description
Obtain optimal muscle gains using superior technique! Muscle Mechanics will teach you how to train for strength, definition, and muscle size using 65 of the most effective exercises covering all the major muscle groups. By combining full-color anatomical illustrations and expert technical guidance, this book will help you better understand how to properly target specific muscles by using the most efficient alignment, positioning, and lifting technique for each exercise.
Three programs for base strength, full-body fitness, and advanced split routines show how to combine the exercises into progressive strength programs. And by varying intensity, volume, recovery, and exercise sequencing, you can design customized programs for reaching both immediate and long-term training goals.
Resistance training expert and Cooper Institute instructor Everett Aaberg is one of the world's foremost instructors and authors in strength training. In Muscle Mechanics, he puts the emphasis on training mechanics to help you maximize results and minimize the risk of injury.

Too much muscle isolation and machine dependency.......2006-05-30
Muscle Mechanics (Paperback)
Too much muscle isolation and machine dependency
Frìdreric Delavier's "Strength Training Anatomy" has stimulated the new trend of artistic animation of muscular action by personal trainers desperate for opportunities. In this book, the author emphasizes muscular animation, in one every three photos, for no other purpose than showing artwork. The author is afflicted with the American syndrome of muscle isolation during resistance training and fascination with machines. That is demonstrated by the author's compromised ability to serve his readers professionally and intelligently.
(Skipping the first three chapters for later comments) Chapters 4 through 8 constitute the bulk of the book. Here the author adopts boring and inefficient template of 4-descriptives to describe all exercises indiscriminately. The four descriptive are: target muscles, joint motion, alignment and posture, and motion and stabilization. The 4-descriptive template is applied on the exercises of the trunk, lower body, and upper body with pushing and pulling. That does not address crucial issues such as:
What sequence should the reader uses for safe and optimum training?
Where does warm up fit in?
What guarantees balanced body proportions if one follows such haphazard program?
The last chapter on program design is remotely linked to the bulk of the book and constitutes a burden in adding things together. On page 103, for example, the author describes the Barbell Hang Clean using the same 4-descriptive template. I counted the word "quickly" four times, under the motion and stabilization item. The entire description of the Hang Clean is flawed and shows that the author is clueless on the mechanics of the Clean. That is aside from the fact that the Hang Clean should not be described without starting with Standard Clean first of all.
The hang Clean is partial and supplementary to the Standard Clean. Both exercises entail head and pelvis bouncing and elbow fixation during the pull by the axial muscles, with utmost emphasis on the closeness of the bar trajectory to the body. The book's advice to initiate the Hang Clean with explosive jump is foolish. Experienced lifters do not jump during the pull, but rather aggressively hop on the feet balls without messing up the alignment of the centers of gravity of the body and the barbell.
The book also introduces many distractive moves such as one-hand press on one-leg, trunk extension, trunk extension on the edge of a bench, side leg lunge, and multiple versions of the same exercises that are redundant and useless.
Going back to the first three chapters, the book handled muscle subsystem grouping in a creative manner by using longitudinal, lateral, and oblique muscle systems that stabilize the body in the sagittal, coronal, and transverse planes. Here, the author did not utilize his artistic skill in emphasizing the grouping graphically but rather depends on hand drawings that are much inferior to those that follow. Chapter 3 on optimal exercise technique is a waste since the author did not adopt any correct technique in the rest of the book. The dumbbell snatch on page 105 is flawed in that the dumbbell is too far away from the heels of the lifter. The body weight stationary lunge, page 95, is entirely flawed since the torso leans forward during the lung and could strain the low back and deform the shoulders.
Finally, the author's motivation and energy, and the potential for refinement should be utilized in bettering the book concepts and structure. Instead of selling to the people what might entice them on the short term, the author should strive for long term philosophy of enhancing fitness in simple, practical, and reasonable manner. Look what the Chinese, and ex-communists are doing with down to earth facilities, superb technique, and disciplined training!!

Essentials of Weightlifting and Strength Training
Not bad. Very good step by step explanation to perform cor.......2002-12-06
The large number of exercises covered are well explained in a step-by step fashion. I just wish the models were not so wimpy looking! Good book for beginners or intermediate exercisers.
Use it in combination with a book showing in detail which muscles are targeted
All the Right Moves.......2002-01-26
If you feel totally clueless whenever you step into the strength-training section of a gym, then "Muscle Mechanics" is the book for you. For many bodybuilding and fitness novices, learning the proper form or way to lift, pull, or push bars, pulleys, or other gadgets that are commonly found on a gym floor can be a task itself. Without the assistance of a personal trainer, which can be an expensive investment, weight training can be very difficult, if not hard for most.
Unlike many other books on the market, "Muscle Mechanics" is a perfect companion to those who want to really get into the move of things. Using photographs, and easy-to-read type, the book surpasses many professionally written books by top name fitness gurus because. In plain English, this book is similar to a "Dummies" or "Complete Idiot's" guide to weight-resistance exercises. Although I am much more of a pro when it comes to training, this book was helpful in helping me learn several exercises that I was not performing correctly. Overall, the book's design, setup, and price are all added pluses when it came to me in purchasing it.
So, if you're looking for a simple, yet thorough book on weight training, this book is the right choice.
pros and cons of MUSCLE MECHANICS.......2001-03-08
Having read and purchased dozens of books on weight training I have come to the conclusion that no one book is going to cover everything, let alone cover everything well. The situation is this: 1. The fitness boom has created a market and publishers and authors are trying to profit from this new market. 2. Some books are just a rehash of old ideas and exercises. 3. Some books actually offer new material or points of view. 4. All books are missing information that can be found in other sources. 5. Weight training can and is used by many people with different objectives. The novice who wants no more than to reduce the size of his/her waist and add a few curves will have different goals than the powerlifter who wants to bench press double bodyweight or more. So there exist more than one audience or market for training books. Beginner, intermediate, and advanced might seem like logical divisions, but it is not enough. Olympic weightlifters and powerlifters employ training regimens that would be unnecessarily orthopedically risky for other trainees even though all groups might use some of the same equipment and exercises. 6. As one reads more and more weight training books it becomes more difficult to find books that don't cover material one has already seen. 7. Given the above facts, building a weight training library becomes a daunting challenge. Naturally, the novice would want at least one book that covers the beginning stages well. Several books are adequate in this regard, but as someone once said,"There are no secrets in bodybuilding, but there are shortcuts." and if one continues to train, new information can be acquired that will maintain continued progress and interest. 8. There are too many weight training texts to read or purchase. Some sytematic rating system is desirable to guide the reader or purchaser. Hence foreward in my ratings I will try to give: a. audience rating for beginner, intermediate, advanced b. audience rating for general fitness, bodybuilder, powerlifter, Olympic weightlifter, athletic conditioning c. pros -- what the book does well d. cons -- what the book does poorly including omitted critical information , misinformation, and lack of precatuions or warnings that should accompany certain exercises or speed of movement e. value -- even though there is a proverb that says "Knowledge is finer than fine silver." sometimes one might find that the price for the knowledge determines whether it was a bargain or a bad buy.
With this in mind I let me list the pros and cons. Pros: 1. By using two colors of ink(black and cyan/blue) the diagrams that show the muscles used in each exercise are excellent. Better than 98% of the books I've seen. 2. The author has credentials including a bachelors degree in exercise science as well as experience as a competitive bodybuilder and coach and in the exercise business. 3. There is a strong emphasis on good exercise form. 4. Although there is not an overabundance of exercises, all the major muscle groups are covered. 5. The author presents three programs to build a sound foundation and progress safely from beginner to intermediate stage. 5.Some of the equipment shown is different than that more commonly seen. Experienced trainees might be interested in seeing Cybex's version of a hip abduction machine for comparison to Nautilus's. 6. The author takes a kinesiological approach to naming exercises. One may or may not appreciate this "orthopedic surgeon's approach" to naming exercises. 7. There are exercises for the rotator cuff muscles of the shoulder and their importance in injury prevention is exercised. This is a an feature lacking in older texts. 8. Usually two different versions -- machine and free weight -- for exercises are given. One or two omissions, but the effort is there and most exercises get both coverages. Cons: 1. Commonly used names for common exercises are not given. See 6 above. In effect, the author has created a whole new language which allows the reader to sound pedantic, but not be able to communicate with other trainees or cross reference his text with other exercise texts. 2. I saw no caution against holding one's breath while exerting a strongs effort to lift a weight. This is surprising given the general emphasis on safe technique. 3. I applaud the author's mention of pelvic tilt for safe body positoning. However, it should have been emphasized more. Enlarging portions of the two illustrations showing good spinal positoning and bad (lordosis) and pointing out the difference in the tilt of the hip bones would have been a good idea. 4.In early 2001 Newsweek magazine covered SuperSlow training protocol which was trademarked by Ken Hutchins in 1992 and I first saw used in 1984. Given its radical departure from traditonal weight training tempo and the fact that Wayne Westcott has modified his Nautilus instructions to incorporate it because of its effectiveness and safety makes one wonder why Everett Aaberg makes no mention of it. But then few authors outside of Ken Hutchins, Ellington Darden in some of his more recent books, and Matt Brzycki cover SuperSlow. I regard it as a serious omission.
I checked this book out of our library first and thought enough of it to buy it. If I were on more limited budget or less impulsive, I would not have. It's a good read, but if one already has a good introductory text, then the next purchase should be something else. Authors wishing to write a training book should definitely read this. It's nicely illustrated, well written, and the author does cover some new ground, but still it could be improved. Borrow what's good and fill in the blanks. That's your job.
I think all levels of trainees will find something to like in this book, but beginners more so than advanced. Whether or not they should by it is a different question. END

The Best Book on Mopar Cars.......2001-07-12
This book has it all, great photos, informative writing, and a wealth of information. Covers the development of Mopar Muscle from the early sixties all the way up to the Dodge Viper of the nineties. A great source for Mopar fans.
A vey good summary of the best muscle from Chrysler and co.........1999-10-13
As always, Anthony Young has done an excellent job in bring all the necessary data, facts and figures about his chosen subject. Nothing new that has not been done before by various other authors like Holder & Kunz, RM Clarke and most of the pictures have been seen before.
However, a worthwhile addition to any collection as it brings the best of all three manufacturers together unto one book and blends Mr Youngs particular style of writing which is clear and informative.
Only lacking in comparison reports and multicar tests..

Book Description
From the high-revving small blocks to the fire-breathing Hemis, this is your best source for finding parts that may be interchanged among the many Chrysler models. Whether you own a Barracuda, Challenger, Road Runner, Super Bee or Charger, this full listing of all the interchangeable "line" parts for your Chrysler muscle car will provide you with the information you're looking for!
Customer Reviews:
Great for numbers car, but worthless for fixing driver.......2007-08-14
Awesome reference via part numbers of all things Chrysler muscle, but ONLY by part number. There are lots of parts that interchange between years or models that this book does not reference, presumably because they are the wrong part number for whatever year. If you are building a "numbers matching" car - you NEED this book. Trying to fix up a driver or complete a project or build a clone? This may be of little or no use to you (and me).
Super Bee Reference Outstanding.......2006-08-10
I purchased the Interchange Manual plus the Restoration Guide for our 1970 Super Bee and they immediately became an outstanding reference source for our MOPAR muscle car. Information is indexed in such a way that it is easy to find what you are looking for in the book. Pictures and diagrams are clear and easy to see. Information is easy to understand.
Chrysler Muscle - Still a Mystery!.......2003-05-08
If you see a part at a swap meet, auction or garage sale you want to know if it will work with your motor. This Parts Interchange Manual won't help! Take carbs, for example. This manual lists 141 interchange numbers with NO REVERSE INDEX. Want to know if you should bid on that 4671A for your six pack? Scan every one of 141 listings until you come to 4671A at number 124. Now all you know is it was stock on eight models and which ones those are. Will it work on that Mopar Performance intake you just bought? Who knows? Will it bolt onto anything other than the eight listed models? Who knows?
If someone is buying a "right", frame off restoration or trying to complete one then this book has a purpose for them. If, like me, you want to turn your stock Mopars into Stage III or Stage IV performers, this book is useless.
Great Parts Guide.......2000-06-25
This is a great source of information on which parts are the original and interchangeable parts for the different product lines of the Chrysler muscle cars. This could save someone some money by asking for the same part(and cheaper) from a different model.
dodge part hunting.......2000-06-24
The book is very helpful for parts you don't have and need. It's great to look up the part I need for my Challengers and find other cars that have the exact same thing. Some of the things I have needed I have found on up to 15 different cars. I have used it faithfully since I've purchased it. The only downfall is that it isn't 100% complete. There was a few items I needed that had no listing for the interchange when there should have been. Regardless of that one problem the book is still well worth the money. Now they need a book to cover my 66 Charger.

Book Description
The Firebird had excellent sales in its first half year and the 400 V8 made it a force to be reckoned with. There were few changes in 1968 but the 1969 car was longer and heavier, so sales slipped. In March 1969, therefore, Pontiac introduced the Trans-Am resplendent in white with blue stripes and an array of air scoops and spoilers. Emissions regulations took their toll and a 455 motor was needed in 1971 to keep up the performance. A long factory strike did not help and the 1972 Trans-Am was the last of the breed before the name was applied to a succession of watered down machines. This is a book of contemporary road and comparison tests, new model introductions, technical and specification data, long term tests, racing and history. Models covered include: Sprint, 400, Super-Six, 400 Ram Air, Bobcat, Fitch Firebird, Sprint Turismo, 303, Esprit, F400.

A great collection of road tests........2000-05-08
If you're a Firebird/Trans Am fanatic you will be fascinated by this comprehensive collection of detailed road tests covering all Firebird models released from 1967 to 1972.
Each model year is covered by several road tests, although they can tend to repeat each other at times, it's interesting to hear several different points of view - the researchers even managed to dig up a couple of reviews from over here in the UK!
As well as containing a wealth of stats and performance figures the book is complete with lots of black and white photos of the cars from all angles including under the bonnet - invaluable if you are restoring a Firebird as these photos are of truly ORIGINAL cars.
Just to be complete there are a few articles on performance tuning, 'fitch' firebirds and a round up where the firebird and several other pony cars were compared.
I enjoyed this book and look forwards to reading the next one which picks up the story at 1973.

Book Description
This Muscle Portfolio collects expert views on how the powerful American muscle cars produced between 1966 and '70 performed against each other. Chevy's Chevelle, Impala, Camaro and Corvette go head-to-head against Pontiac's GTO and Firebird; Dodge's Charger, Coronet, Super Bee and Dart GTS; Olds 4-4-2 and Cutlass; Ford's Fairlane, Galaxie, Mustang, Shelby Mustang Cobra and Torino; Plymouth's Fury, Barracuda and Roadrunner; AMC's Javelin; plus Cougar, Cyclone and others.
Book Description
In many ways, drag racing spawned the muscle car era of the '60s. Super Stock drag racing was huge in the early '60s, and the factories encouraged their teams' success by building high-power, lightweight cars that'd be sure hits at the drags. Then in '64, Pontiac introduced the GTO, with the classic "small car, big engine" formula that hot rodders had been using for years. Other manufacturers responded with their own pony cars and muscle cars, and for nearly 10 years, muscle cars ruled the drags. Quarter Mile Muscle covers the development and success of the muscle cars at the drags in all classes, from Super Stock to the early muscle car-based funny cars. Special attention is paid to low-production factory cars that were intended specifically for the drags - cars like the COPO Camaros, Ford Thunderbolts, and the dealer-built specials from Yenko, Motion, and others.

Quarter Mile Muscle.......2005-09-11
This is the third book by Mr. Davis about, "doorslammers,". They just get better and better!
Must-have book for fans of 60-70s stock class drag racing.......2005-08-09
Larry Davis has another great book out as a follow up to Super Stock - Drag Racing the Family Sedan. This one mainly covers the factory built stockers and cars that made places like Woodward Avenue famous. Good clean photos (wish they could have been bigger though) of a lot of stockers. The focus is on the Midwest/Ohio are where Davis grew up. Great book, highly recommended!

Book Description
A late developer on the muscle car scene Oldsmobile's first muscle car was the 4-4-2 four-barrel carburetor, four-speed manual shift and two exhausts on the F85. The 1965 car was better with a 400 cubic inch V8. This was now Oldsmobile's leading muscle machine, later to be supplemented by the W-30 racing package. Along with the rest of the US car industry performance diminished with the advent of cleaner exhausts and safety measures. This is a book of contemporary road tests, specification and technical data, new model introductions, driver's impressions, track tests. Models covered include: Jetstar 88, Cutlass Holiday, Starfire, 4-4-2, Delta 88, Toronado, Supreme, Hurst/Olds, Delmont, W-31, W-30, Delta Royale, Rallye 350.
