Member 5268, 136 posts SQ 205, BP 125, DL 240 570.0 kgs @ 106kgs UnEq	I am looking at increasing my knowledge on both training and nutrition, having just searched Amazon I see the vast amount of books/e-books etc out there rather than waste money, What books you would recommend?

Nutrition - a guide to flexible dieting by Lyle McDonald. Generic training plans/routines - 5/3/1 - j.wendler, the juggernaut method - c.smith, the cube method - b.lilly , the Bulgarian method - g.knuckles, squatting everyday m.perryman. Edit - supplements, the ebook from examine.com.

‘downsizing’ Member 5704, 3220 posts SQ 280, BP 210, DL 320 810.0 kgs @ 96.3kgs UnEq	zatsiorsky. I also enjoyed randall strossen's super squats for interesting history of the lift (notwithstanding it is full of outlandish claims about gaining 2 stone of muscle in 6 weeks doing just 20 rep squats and drinking milk)

Hey mate, my name is Paul Dudley Member 632, 3628 posts SQ 200, BP 155, DL 282.5 637.5 kgs @ 77kgs UnEq	The encyclopaedia of modern bodybuilding is awesome!!! Totally s**t for useful information. But by god did I love that book when I had it at the age of 16/17 for Christmas!!!

Enjoys his parents fully stocked fridge. Member 3476, 868 posts SQ 170, BP 136, DL 217.5 523.5 kgs @ 95kgs UnEq	As soon as I see a % sign in a training book my brain switches off so I prefer more 'interesting' than scientific books; Dinosaur Training - I like all Brooks' stuff and I would love to see how worn down HIS CAPS LOCK KEY IS! Keys to progress - not many books about weight training are genuinely funny The strength of Samson, and how to obtain it - funny for entirely different reasons. From memory it's mainly about doing partials in the dumbell bench press until you have the power to collapse the cells in your finger tips and shoot lightning from them, which sounds like a Paul Savage goal. Rock, Iron, Steel - Steve Justa looks like, and most likely smells like, a hill billy rapist and his book is awesome. I wonder if anyone ever took him up on his offer of private training? Spartan Health Regime - more all round health than weight training specifically but has some interesting stuff and can probably be googled guilt free as the author seems to have disappeared off the face of the earth.

(755 squat, 475 bench press, and 725 deadlift) He's only had to struggle through minor issues. And all drug tested. So...here you have a guy who is built for the powerlifts, basically. He's a bit Asbergers-ey, I'd say similar to Lyle, and fails to see the issue when people don't do well on his programs. He says some st both about bench form and squat form that doesn't jive with logical thought...i.e. arms should be perpendicular to the body (and ironically, in a recent bench vid, he looks just as conventional on a 400+ raw bench as anyone else) So the combination of 1) never had to struggle for strength 2) hyperfocus 3) the arrogance of the young, strong and uninjured makes you have to filter his st pretty hard."
