The New Encyclopedia of Modern Bodybuilding is perhaps the greatest Bodybuilding book to ever be published and nothing has ever come close or even been attempted.
This book is incredible for so many reasons and one of the biggest reasons is its level of indepth information. This book covers everything from modern bodybuilding history to exact exercises performed by the greatest bodybuilders in history. The first paragraph of the book mentions a mantra about the changes of modern bodybuilding and its evolutionary process.
This is what is says verbatim:
“At the end of the nineteenth century a new interest in muscle-building arose, not muscle just as a means of survival or of defending one-self; there was a return to the Greek-ideal-muscular development as a celebration of the human body.”
