Little Brown & Co (P), 1986
Best book on exercise ever
+ Start at the very beginning
I found this book at a library years ago and studied it. When my son took interest in his own exercise program, I recommended it and bought it for him. He likes it too. It's a great book.

Great information
+ Overall good
The workouts are tough. The science behind the method make sense. I have seen improvement in myself. The last half the book contains workout plans, some of which are repetitive.
