Good S&C books to read

[SDHW]

Hey bros,

I wanted to add to my collection of books, I was doing a little searching on Amazon and came across these books.

Vladimir M. Zatsiorski
"Science and practice of strength training"

Bill Starr’s
"The strongest shall survive"

Glenn Pendlay
"Practical Programming: progressive and periodized weight Training methods for coaches, trainer, and Athletes"

Im guessing these should be in everyone’s arsenal of weapons. Is there any other books I should look into. or is one of these better than the other. I know Glenns book isn’t coming out till late November.

I've had a copy of Practical Programming on order since the spring. LoL November now????? christ.

Those are all good books that you listed above. Starting Strength is another solid book.

We had a great thread on this awhile back. TheOak was supposed to read something and report back but he's gone AWOL. Somebody can search out that thread maybe.

Zatsiorsky is a good read but not real practical. Siff's Supertraining is the bible but again, very complex and not very practical. Get it at elitefts.com. Stuart McRobert's Brawn/Beyond Brawn stuff is good and you get a 500 page book for like $25 if you get BB. I really like Dinosaur Training, by Brooks Kubik. Skip his other nutjob crap but pick up Dino for $20 or so. Mandatory read, IMO.

Good reads recommended by Proto......I agree on Dinosaur Training, I like Attorney Kubik a lot, but yeah, some of the other stuff is a little nutty, I am on his mailing list and he spams me every morning, lol

Thanks for the tips, I will look into those. Yea I read that Glenns book wont be out till Nov 20th, but its been pushed back a few times, so im not even sure if it will be then. Im looking forward to it, sounds like it will be a great book.

I like proto's ideas too, science and practice of strength training really not my thing bought it it's sitting on the shelf. Way too complicated for me. I understand it fine just don't think that I need any/all of the methods in there, at least so far.

Complete keys of progress by John McCallum is awesome!
