Weight training

Weight training can be the most effective technique for developing the strength and size of skeletal muscles. It provides functional benefits and may improve overall health and well-being.

References

Many of the most useful books about weight training contain the word "bodybuilding" in the title, but they should not be overlooked just for this reason. Weight trainers who are not interested in bodybuilding can ignore the material devoted to contest preparation, and still obtain much valuable information.
