Best Bodybuilding/Strength Training/Fitness Books?

2013-05-03T16:58:22+00:00

Just wondering if anyone has some suggestions on good training related books?

To get things started I enjoyed:
Beyond Brawn by Stuart McDonald: It reminds you how important the basics are and especially progressive resistance.

Education of a bodybuilder by The Terminator lol
I found the beginning of this book quite motivating. I don’t really like the pump based training of Arnold but I was motivated by reading about how hard he worked to develop his physique.

Would love to hear some of your suggestions.

I just saw the movie last night. What an amazing movie!

I read the book a few years back. I just loved the background score and the visuals. It really brought back memories of India. At the start of the movie, they had this nice soothing music in my language ( Malayalam)! I wanted to shout out hey this is my language!!
