Book Overview

For men, broad shoulders and muscular arms are the archetype for strength and power. For women, the sagging underarm is one of the most common trouble spots.

Customer Reviews

An excellent guide to Shoulder and Arms Development

I bought this book after I bought the "The complete book of ABS" by the same authors. I was so impressed by the thoroughness and effectiveness of the first book, that I decided to try this one and "The complete book of butt and legs". Here you will find every you need to: understand the muscles involved, how to warm and stretch them, how to perform all major exercises, and of course complete routines designed to fit the needs of almost everybody. If you liked "The complete book of ABS", you will love this one.

Excellent book!

This is a virtual encyclopedia of exercises to target the deltoids, trapezius, biceps and triceps. Unlike a lot of books, this one doesn't hand you a pre-fab workout for you to follow mindlessly. It's perfect for anyone who's looking to create a tailor-made workout based on their fitness level and available equipment, including barbells, dumbbells, and pulley/weight-stack machines. Its encyclopedic approach also helps alleviate boredom when your routine gets 'routine.'While beginners might need a more structured approach starting out, this is still a good book for advanced beginners who have already integrated weight training into a regular fitness regimen.

Highly recommended

I have a dozen or so workout/wieght lifting books and Kurt Burngardt "Complete Book" series is by far the best. Follow his workouts and advice and you will get excellent results. When is Kurt going to finish the series with a "Complete Book of Chest and Back"? I will buy the first copy. I hope it is comming.

Great Fitness Book to Own

The second book in the three-part Brungardt brothers' series, "The Complete Book of Shoulders and Arms" is an essential must-have for any fitness enthusiast. The difficulty of working the muscles found in one's arms and upper back is one of the most challenging routines anyone who works out faces everytime. With a combination of a good, low carbohydrate diet and plenty of weight resistance training, one can achieve the maximum results for their arms and upper back."The Complete Book of Shoulders and Arms" divides exercises accordingly to main regions the book is supposed to cover: triceps, biceps, foreams, and trapezoids. Using a rating system of 1-3, (1 being the easiest, 3 being the most intensive) the author teaches readers of how to use a mind-body connection where the person focuses their mind on the arm/back muscles whenever they are working them out. This method, which has been successful in my case, works these regions to their fullest.With a this book, a great diet, and maybe even a workout video to use from time to time, you'll be able to reach your desired goals within a matter of time. If you liked this book, then I recommend that you also try the other two books in the Brungardt brothers series: "The Complete Book of Butt and Legs," and "The Complete Book of Abs." This 304-page book is part of a great series that even has become famous in popular culture. Overall, an excellent book to reach your fitness goals.

Another win for this author!

Kurt Brungardt and family have done it again with this excellent source that targets the shoulders and arms. Full of routines and photos, I'd recommend this book to anyone. They have informative chapters that dispell many fitness myths and no-no's...plus routines for the gym and home. A necessary source for our fitness conscious age.
