Good Weight Traning Manual

Having a pretty well stocked home gym (formerly belonged to a gym), I found it a good substitute for a personal trainer on weight exercise techniques. It described how to do about 30 weight training exercises, most with dumbells or barbells, but a few with a basic indespensible bench machine. It showed exercise cautions on improper tehnique. It showed barbell vs. dumbell variations on these exercises and different lifting techniques. It has large well illustrated photos, not illustrations. It had a good introductory section on general weight training program advice. The narrative on nutrition and hydration was pretty basic and a bit dated though. Weight training relatred information was non-existant (cardio, etc.). So far, it is a foundation book in my home gym. The subtitle is a bit midleading - it's not for the beginner without any equipment.
