Anatomy Book

Is there any recommendations for a really good anatomy book? I need further understanding of forearms and back muscles in different positions.
I like Peck's Atlas of Human Anatomy, Goldfinger's Human Anatomy for Artists, and Richer's Artistic Anatomy. There is a difference between anatomical reference, like the above, and books about drawing the human figure, like Bridgman and Vanderpoel. The former are what you need, while the latter may be useful.

Thank you all for the recommendations. I chose to go with Human Anatomy for Artists by Goldfinger. I also plan to purchase Gottfried Bammes as well.

John Vanderpoel's 'The Human Figure' is a bit old school but I found it quite useful. Some great drawings in it too.

The two books I really love are 1. Rey’s Anatomy, by Ray Bustos. (I took an online class of his in anatomy). 2. Stonehouse’s Anatomy, by Jeonghyun Seok.
