Best Strength Training Tape For Beginners on the Market

LKW | Phoenix, AZ United States | 01/13/2003

(5 out of 5 stars)

"I pre-ordered the VHS tape back in early December. I received it a few days ago. I am totally impressed. I have a weight bench, dumb-bells, a bar and a heavier weight set at home. I use my light weight dumb-bells all of the time, but I always wanted to use my work bench and heavier weights for sculpting, but was afraid of hurting myself from improper form. This tape makes it so simple. Jake walks you through each procedure and explains exactly which muscles are being worked. Most tapes perform the procedures in such a fast pace that I was always skeptical about even trying them out. Jake explains, as a model performs the procedure with proper form and technique in a slow smooth pace. Well, I'm on my way to the body I know I was meant to have. Thanks Jake for making a tape for beginners like myself."

Great Way To Get Started In Weight Lifting

(4 out of 5 stars)

"This a very informative video. Jake walks you through each procedure and lets you know which muscle is being worked and shows you the proper lifting technique. There are no jerky moves. I'd always wanted to use my workbench and weight bar, but was scared I'd use it improperly and do more damage then good. This tape has definitely been a great help. I enjoy working out in my home gym and most of his tapes/DVD's have a program to follow along with. This one doesn't. It shows how to perform a procedure and do a few reps, to get you started, and then moves on to the next and then the next which is nice, but I would have liked it better if he'd have designed it, as with his other workout programs, with a certain # of reps for each procedure. Instead, I watch the procedure, pause it, do my reps, and then unpause it and go to the next and so on. (Tht is the reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5)...But, all in all, it's a nice starter video for getting into weight lifting."

Awesome Instruction for weights for women

J. Blackburn | Los Angeles, Califorinia | 05/12/2009

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This is an easy step by step instruction on how to use the weights at the gym for those of us who need it. I received better instruction from this DVD than I have ever received from any trainer thousands of dollars later.

The explanations and demos are clear and easy to understand. You can work at at your own pace at home or in the gym. This is complete with a tour of the equipment. I highly recommend this. The routines are concise."
