Thanks for the suggestion! Newer to weightlifting and it looks like it has a ton of valuable information.

Practical Programming too.

I gave my copy of this to someone--and they looked at me like this :blink:

I liked it, but do you think it is for true beginners?

Exactly my first thought.

I agree. I have it and was going to suggest it but I think it would be a little too much for beginners.

[Noel Clark]

Still a great book though :thumb:

[GinnyLou]

I hadn't heard of this book and I am always looking for new reads. Thanks!

I guess you're right.

SS is definitely written for the true novice. I guess PP would be stage 2. It's good to understand the physiological adaptations associated with training so fatigue management is understood. But again, someone who has never touched a weight is probably not going to need this.

New Rules of Lifting might be something to consider too.

I guess you're right.

I've got and read both copies of this. Good reads.
