Reader reviews for The New Encyclopedia of Modern Bodybuilding: The Bible of Bodybuilding, Fully Updated and Revised
Review summary
Readers widely regard Arnold Schwarzenegger’s tome as the definitive, photo-rich reference on classic bodybuilding—comprehensive in scope, motivational in tone, and valuable as a long-term resource. Praise centers on its breadth (history, psychology, training methods, and programs) and its status as an iconic, inspiring guide. Critiques focus on dated nutrition advice and gender framing, sparse technique cues, and punishing high-volume routines seen as unrealistic for beginners or natural lifters. The consensus: indispensable as a cultural document and reference for dedicated bodybuilding enthusiasts, less suited as a practical starter program for general fitness.
