Physique: An Intimate Portrait of the Female Fitness Athlete Paperback – March 4, 1997

In having received the book of "Physique" by Paul Goode, I came away with being very impressed with the photos of such lovely and attractive female bodybuilders and I can honestly admit that I am so turned on by them for their great beauty and muscularity as well. I think that books like this will definitely shatter the myths and stereotypes of what a female bodybuilder is like these days. Therefore, I highly recommend books like "Physique" only for those who are loyal and dedicated fans like myself. I give it all FIVE STARS!

Excellent book with artistic pictures of beautiful women. The text is a little sugary but the pictures more than make up for it. My biggest moan is that the book wasn't longer or the pages bigger....Monica Brant, April Moore,...ahhh! Not for those who like grotesquely veined parodies of the female form.

Very simply, this is a photo book consisting of top female fitness competitors and a few of the more marketable female bodybuilders. The style of the photography is fairly artistic and doesn't always bring the full beauty of the physiques to light, but other times is very flattering and interesting. The text is marginally interesting, but since that's not what the book is about it doesn't detract very much from the overall experience.
