Default Good "Free Weight" guide book
I'm looking for a book that has nice pictures of the exercises that can be done with free weight, and a description of what muscles it affects. It should be oriented toward relative newbie to free weights.

I know you can view the same information via youtube and bb.com, however I can't take the internet with me to the weight lifting room.

I'm basically interested in looking at diagrams while I'm there at the weightlifting room and I'm mainly interested in free weights.

Anyone know of such a good book?

Not 100% sure I understand you correct. The book I use doing excercise is this one, it is about barbells and dumbells mostly, is that what you mean with Free Weights ?

Yes, that's what I mean. It looks like that book has pretty much what I'm looking for. Thanks!

Cool! I read the introduction and first chapter and I really like this writer's style and what he is saying. I'll read all of it and see if I can apply it. Thanks!

I signed up for the newsletter, and got his newsletter, but there is no link to the actual download of the e-book. All there is a link to sign up this week again...!

Stephen - I'm halfway through reading that Hacker's diet book you linked to - I'm really enjoying it! Learning some stuff I had never known or realized. I like his method of measuring like an engineer, it appeals to the programmer in me.

Make sure you allow images to be displayed in your e-mails. The link is part of an image file.
