Hi!

I've been lifting off and on for years, but have become more committed
in the last six months or so. Right now I'm following the book by
Frank Melfa that's helping me a lot. I'm following his basic advice
and getting results like never before. But I would like to learn more.
Are there books with more variety of exercises, and that explain how
each exercise helps in which way. Melfa's book does some of that (eg,
presses for muscle growth, cable for definition), but I'd love to find
a book that offers more along those lines.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Manuel

I think Melfa's point is not so much that cable exercises
are good for definition, but that basic exercises such as
bench presses and flyes are good for adding mass, and
in the initial stage of training which emphasizes mass
building he suggests that one stick to the basics. Then,
later, if only for the sake of variety, and when mass
building is no longer the top priority, then he suggests
incorporating cable work into the program.

I think this is a little closer to what he is saying. Before
I oversimplified a little.
