The first thing that comes to my mind when someone asks me about the book? IT'S HEAVY!
You could even used it as a dumbbell, literally!
The cover of the book proclaims, "The BIBLE of BODYBUILDING", and rightly so.
The book contains everything under the Sun about bodybuilding you ever wanted to know. from the right kind of exercises about each body part, the correct posture, right to the diet to be followed when you are bulking as well when you are cutting.
The book is divided into five main chapters books as under:
