What are some good exercise/workout books with exercises in that can tone upper body muscle?
I'm a bloke, and I do a lot of cardio and i've recently hit my target weight. I was a right fat chubber before, and although i'm now as slim as I want to be, I've still got a wobbly chest.

Can you reccomend any books for men that focus on exercises that tone upper body muscle? Most of the books i've looked at focus on building muscle, not just toning it.

Cheers

muscle building and toning are the same thing. the way you get a ''toned'' look, is to build bigger muscles. trainers created this ''toning'' bs to sell their cheap wares.

if you are looking for a good book to tone your upper body, look for the oxford english dictionary, its a big mother, and using it for over head press and bench press will help you tone up.

seriously though, look into ''starting strength'' by mark rippetoe......a great beginner program for getting big and strong. you'd be amazed how simple that process is.
