When it comes to getting stronger, this one doesn't hold a candle to masterpieces like [b:Starting Strength|15746753|Starting Strength|Mark Rippetoe|https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1350664231s/15746753.jpg|2104162], but this is a good overview of a lot of important concepts and it's writ...

This is a weightlifting book written by a man but specifically designed for women. Why should women have a different workout book? Why can't they just use the same one a man does?
