Women's Strength Training Anatomy

Full-colour, detailed anatomical drawings show each exercise while it's being performed and exactly what muscles are being used (it's like having an x-ray of each exercise!). Exercises for women to use for shaping and toning the buttocks, abs, legs and back are included and a colour-coded key shows the reader exactly what muscles are isolated for each exercise. Exercise variations also feature with explanations of how they affect muscles, so readers can target certain muscles and customise their strength training regimes. The anatomical differences between men and women (relative to strength training) are also illuminated and the way that muscles interact with joints and skeletal function is described.

The former editor in chief of the French magazine PowerMag, Frï¿œdï¿œric Delavier is currently a journalist for the French magazine Le Monde du Muscle and a contributor to several other muscle publications, including Men's Health Germany.

He studied morphology and anatomy for five years at the prestigious Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris and studied dissection for three years at the Paris Facultￜ de Mￜdicine.

Delavier won the French powerlifting title in 1988 and makes annual presentations on the sport applications of biomechanics at conferences in Switzerland. His teaching efforts have earned him the Grand Prix de Techniques et de Pï¿œdagogie Sportive. Delavier lives in Paris, France.
