Starting Strength and other reading
Since I don't know how to operate the search function or every thread in here involves the word "strength". What other literature on strength and training should I order while I'm at it?

Starting Strength and Practical Programming by Rippetoe

Infinite Intensity, Never Gymless, and Full Throttle Conditioning by Ross Enamait (I only own II as of right now, but its phenomenal and I'm working on getting the others).

I had actually thought about making a thread somewhat like this.

There are clearly a few bibles of iron out there, and Starting Strength is quite likely the most popular one.

Maybe a short list of essential reading should be added to the FAQ?

It would give us one more excuse to scream at people to FAQ off...

Starting Strength and Rippetoe's other books for pure strength training.

Ross's books for conditioning.

There is a reason these two authors is mentioned by most...

Now if you want to get all scientificy and get e-cred of course there are hard-assed reading like Supertraining for instance.

If you are into downloading you can get most of the books mentioned above in a PDF file format for free . Try torrent scan or any other torrent site .

Seriously I have yet to find a book half as informative as Rip's books. I'm hoping some vintage Starr will turn that around. The last 3 training books I read were maybe 20 pages of unique thought and interesting material watered down into something long enough to cost $25.

Is super training really good?
