I'm one. - So I went through a handful of books looking for one that would diagram the exercises. Along with visual representations of the muscles they work. This hits both marks nicely. Since I don't know jack beyond the basics you learn in school and the military. There's definitely more than that in here. Along with a few variations on some of the basics we all know and loath... love... love... If I repeat it enough, I'm told I'll believe it. This is my initial impression and reasoning anyway. I may need to come back and reevaluate later. Review: Worth every penny - Best work out book ive ever bought
