Sounds interesting! I am moving to an apartment complex with a weight room and would like to start working out with weights. Let me know how this works for you. I'll pick one up if it's any good.

I recommend also joining the forum at https://www.davedraper.com... been there for a long time and they ALWAYS have the answers to any questions you have about bodybuilding!

any other books people might reccomend? hows the ab diet book, i hear good things about that book.

just make sure that you train for your art. General weight training has very little transferability to the the specific requirements of the combative arts.

take the time to search the net for info...maybe start at https://www.martial-athlete.com or the https://www.dragondoor.com. Both will give you the specific training info you desire.

cheers

A book like that will probably give you a good intro to the basic techs of body building. Good enough for a start. But once you get seriously into strength training you'll want to look for something more specific for athletes.

Body building and power training for sports are quite different. Pretty bodies and big muscles arent always as strong as they look. Following a body building program can actually have a negative effect on your progress.
