I already have half of the books in my ever growing strength training and nutrition library. One of my favourites of the whole lot is Siffs' Facts and Fallacies - I think he forgot more than most of us will ever know about strength training. Two you didn't mention which are my two all time favourites are Dinosaur Training and The development of Physical Strength by Anthony Ditillo. They aren't science text books but are full of the common sense, old school knowledge you and I love. Thanks for the great info. Steve Excellent resource this page Ross.

I like learning from athletes that I consider truly successful. Thanks for the generous information, glad to see someone who wants to help people succeed, rather than watch them fail.

Your articles are outstanding, and your training programs jam-packed with effective work-outs. One other book, and author, that I would suggest is "Eat To Live" by Dr. Joel Furhman (website is here: http://drfuhrman.com/default.aspx). He has a keen insight and speaks plainly on all levels regarding nutrition and permanent weight-loss. Thanks again for sharing your experience and wisdom! Ross – Excellent site!
