Hate to bump an ancient thread, but also hate starting a new one when unnecessary.
I'm looking for a book that won't spoon feed me a routine. I want to know *why* you need ME and DE, why some sets are ramped and others not, why why why. I want to be able to adapt my strength strategy constantly based on my body's feedback.
Suggestions?

Science and Practice of Strength Training is one of Louie Simmons' most referenced books. I haven't read it, but I would assume it would get into what you're looking for.

No bs speed manual and vertical jump bible by kelly baggett are great. Infinite Intensity by ross is also very good as well as mark ripetoe's practical programming.

I bought it and it is VERY, VERY dry and boring. I didn't get through much of it because I felt like it was so over complicated when just trying to say simple things.

Supertraining and/or Science and Practice of Strength Training. It's heavy on the science stuff, if you don't have a lot of education in basic sciences they would be a very difficult read.

i would say that if you have supertraining, science and practice of strength training, and periodization: theory and methodology you have pretty much everything youll ever need to know about lifting.
