      Synopsis

      The definitive guide to 21st century bodybuilding. Lots of books were written about bodybuilding in the '80s, but the world has changed since then. How can a new bodybuilder reach the success he seeks with outdated information?

      With a striking cover, the most up-to-date information anywhere, and 800 pages of color images, the Encyclopedia of Bodybuilding offers what no one else does—a user-friendly, graphically pleasing book that informs you about everything from bodybuilding nutrition to supplements to exercises to posing. And this is all brought to you by the most knowledgeable man in the business: Robert Kennedy.

      The Encyclopedia of Bodybuilding teaches you how to:

      • Make the most of the genes you were born with
      • Shape your body to perfect proportions
      • Build mass in the shortest time
      • Use food and supplements as tools to carve out a superior physique
      • Chisel out definition with diet and cardio
      • Develop a posing routine that makes you a winner
      • Plus, as a bonus: the MuscleMag International MASS system of training!
      The perfect gift for any bodybuilder, but a priceless gift for the young beginner.

      March 02, 2009: Loved it.Information was up-to-date and had beautiful illustrations. I've been bodybuilding for a while but it included info on stuff I hadn't thought about before. I also have arnold's encylopedia which is great from the historical perspective but I have found this more useful.

      February 17, 2009: I've purchased many books on bodybuilding throughout the years. If I had to choose just one book to keep it would be this one. It covers a wide range of topics and the photography is motivational. The workout programs included are comprehensive. Though myself a natural bodybuilder, there is not one facet of the sport which is not examined. This includes the use of supplements and pharmaceuticals (which realistically play a major part especially at pro levels.)
