Black Book of Training Secrets by CT
supertraining and arnold’s “encyclopedia” of bodybuilding.
lol, just kidding on the 2nd one.
Starting Strength by Rippetoe. Probably the most useful resource I have for strength training.

I second this. I got the book (and the posters)…full of information. I often find myself simply referencing it every few weeks. Plenty of pictures. Mainly focuses on the big “4” (Squat, DL, Bench, Clean+Press) and how to properly execute them. Definitely helped me pack on some mass to my frame.

By no means having a ‘dig’ here but be weary of the supertraining recommendations. Its a post graduate level book and if the base isnt there in science do not even bother. Its not a sit down and read kind of book in my opinion -more a VERY useful reference. Very detailed and not written in a user friendly manner, even for an academic book.
Thanks for all the help!! 
Brooks Kubik’s Dinosaur Training
- Supertraining
Sidenote: Just bought this book and have been trying to read it. Even for someone with a background in health and medicine it is not the most interesting read, but hell I’m only on page 42. Wouldn’t recommend this book to someone who has not taken a physiology, biology, anatomy class.
