Overview:

Weight Training: Steps to Success puts it all together: what exercises to do, why to do them, how to do them, when to do them, and how to design a balanced program.

Like the popular first edition, this step-by-step guide follows a carefully developed progression of exercises that gives anyone who trains with weights the confidence and the know-how to set up a personal strengthening program using either free weights or single or multistation pivot and cam machines. This new edition features more than 200 illustrations, updated references, keys to learning exercises, and metric conversions. It also includes more intermediate and advanced exercises.

Then, at the heart of the book, are the 12 steps to success. The first eight steps introduce basic lifting fundamentals and exercises for each major area of the body. Recommended training loads are light while beginners learn each exercise, then progress to heavier loads later. Step 9 shows how to select and group exercises into a well-balanced training program. The last three steps present program design variables for modifying the program to fit specific training needs.
