Pretty good to use as a referring method

As someone currently studying for the NASM CPT and looking to expand my knowledge further, I really appreciate having this book in my library. It's a valuable resource for studying materials like "Insight" and "Give the Motion," and I find it very helpful. Thank you for putting together such a great work!
