I read on the infamous TNation website once to identify 5 all time best strength training books that best relate to you & read them at least once a year. Of course '5' is an arbitrage number. The idea is to find quality material & stick with it. After all, its much better than trolling through loads & loads of message board posts, articles by hacks..and the like.


In terms of my top weightlifting books, books that I treat as gospel consist of...

....so there's only three. These are the best books IMO...so far. It's a lits that is never definite.
 
I've had a bit of a read of the book by Everett and it's pretty good, kind of like a starting strength for olympic lifting.
