Mitchell T. Yass describes classic mistakes to avoid while training with weights. For instance, joints should never be locked. Exercises should be performed with a full range of controlled slow motion. The appropriate amount of weight should be selected to enhance the experience. No more than two-three exercises should be done for each body part exercised.
The geometry of weight training requires that every exercise be performed on a single plane with the forearm perpendicular to the floor. Larger body parts should be worked before smaller ones. Muscles should be given ample time to rest from rigorous resistance training. Also, the knee should be in line with the foot and not in the front. Lastly, exhale as the muscle shortens.
The presentation is easy to read, and the many diagrams add to the experience by pinpointing the exact posture of the body during the exercise regimen . Classic weight training techniques are described together with the physical benefit to be expected.
