Strength Training Anatomy
Illustrated Guide to Muscles at Work
A Guide to the Best Exercises for Each Muscle Group
Are deadlifts a back or leg exercise? What are the exercises for biceps? What muscle do squats work? Are pull-ups really effective for working my back?
There is no better physical resource for the beginner then a book called
Strength Training Anatomy by Frédéric Delavier
Every single beginner should have this in reach. Not only will you see the single best exercises for a muscle group but you’ll get colorful details on each particular muscle worked along with clear, step by step instructions on how to do the movement. This is something you can take with you to the gym if you don’t have web access and want to know how you are supossed to do an exercise.
Roughly 124 pages, it’s not huge and it’s not a complex book explaining everything about bodybuilding and nutrition. In fact, this is more of a visual basic anatomy book pertaining to just muscles worked to their respective exercises.
I have never seen a better book in all my years and it’s a classic that will never be out of style unless our bodies change in some futuristic way. As a reference, it’s invaluable.

That sounds good. Being a newbie, I was wondering how/which exercises to do and found the Weight Training for Dummies to be very helpful. I'm sure it's not a good as this one, but for the $5 I paid for it online (used), it sure helped me to understand some basics.
I'll have to pick up this one for more detail now that I got some sort of understanding.

I have found "Teach Yourself Visually - Weight Training" by Maran Graphics a pretty decent beginners book. It's not extensive but can get you started safely.
