Bodybuilding Exercises

!! Warning before you buy: !!

If you own Essentials of Weightlifting and Strength Training, by Mohamed F. El-Hewie, you do NOT need to purchase this abridged edition.

Due to the voluminous nature of the Hardcover edition of Essentials of Weightlifting and Strength Training, which might overwhelm a new comer to weight training, the author opted to offer the following three chapters as an integrated thesis on strength training exercises. In this concise format, this book covers the essentials aspects of Bodybuilding, nutrition, and stretching without the esoteric complexity of Olympic Weightlifting.


The author presents his personal experience in Weightlifting and Strength Training in an educational and entertaining manner. The technical and medical analysis presented in this book represents the author’s own views on the subject and does not represent peer review or institutional research work. The author, a physician and engineer, has relied solely on his own academic preparation to apply medical knowledge to physical exercise activity and its consequences on health and fitness. The author has utilized public information as well as professional academic information in his effort to advance his views. The author does not claim that the views presented in this book are flawless, since the entire domain of health and fitness is still evolving as our knowledge grows and expands.

Though the author is urging all people to contemplate strength training as an essential activity of modern living, the author spared no effort in explaining the limitation of human beings, in health and disease conditions. The author makes no warranty or representation, either expressed or implied, with respect to usefulness or safety of exercise or physical activity in conditions prohibited by medical advice. The author also does not intend to diagnose, treat, or prescribe medication with this publication.
