Great book by 'Dr Squat', with a powerlifting approach.5
Another great book by 'Dr Squat', with a powerlifting approach. If you seek an understanding of how your muscles work and grow his books are a must. You do not have to have a Ph.D. to understand his writings. This book covers all types of training, with good and bad points, with solid information on the how and why. He is very well researched and experienced. This book is a must have for bodybuilders as well as powerlifters.NBAF 'best'.

For nearly everyone....5
Dr. Hatfield's book is fantastic. Although he goes into several topics at length, he then breaks them down into easier terms to understand. This book deals with a wide array of subjects, including: cycling (training periodization, not bicycling), nutritional advice, biochemistry information, and more. I highly recommend it. Even though it is at times lengthy, the overall amount of information presented within it is well worth the effort.

One of my favorite books!5
One of the first books I ever bought, but lost it in moving. Needed to get it again!
Great book to have.
