Synopsis & Historical Value

Muscle Mechanics: Correct technique for 73 resistance training exercises, by Everett Aaberg, was published by Human Kinetics in 1998. It sets out the correct set-up and technique for 73 exercises, with a firm emphasis on biomechanics.

Each exercise is accompanied by illustrations showing which muscles are worked. The book covers every major muscle group, with sections on anatomical design, exercise selection, technique, lower- and upper-body exercises, and programme design. It also explains how to build a customised programme, including sets, repetitions and resistance, with sample programmes and training guidelines.

Written for trainers and lifters who want effective and safer training, it is a practical reference from the late-1990s fitness literature. This is a collectible used copy of a revised edition of the author's earlier Bio-Mechanically Correct (1996).
