Re: TSR Muscle Building Society For Men V4!I'm agreeing with Smack. I don't know how much useful stuff you'd get tbh. I can see reading it just out of interest. But if you want to increase your knowledge, train regularly at a serious gym with very experienced lifter. Otherwise, what's the point of the book knowledge in training? You only know what works for you or when coaching, when you spend enough time under the bar and/or coaching others over the years.(Original post by Arturo Bandini)
I don't particularly want to use things from books in my workouts.
Like I said, I just want to increase my knowledge. I want to know more about strength/muscle/training and stuff like that. It interests me.
I can just see the reaction if someone tried to say in a powerlifting/weightlifting gym, "I read in this book..." It won't go down well, not that anyone would ever say that though.
To summarise, I don't know any books to suggest.

I'm saying I want to read about interesting things to do with training and strength, because it's something I find interesting. And you all do too presumably, since you're here. So it doesn't necessarily have to be about training regimes, but something to do with strength and conditioning that is interesting.

Re: TSR Muscle Building Society For Men V4!I want to read something interesting. And not fiction. Tell me.(Original post by Smack)
To be honest you're better off spending your time reading other things that will better help you in real life. -

Re: TSR Muscle Building Society For Men V4!'No Angel'. (joking). Well kind of, its a great read but nothing to do with strength training.(Original post by Arturo Bandini)

On another note, Layne Nortons recent article was quite interesting. De-bunked any theories that said Growth Hormone actually aided in hypertrophy/muscle growth/protein systhesis. Leg workouts increase GH but GH doesn't actually help in improving strength/muscle hypertrophy. Good read if you have the time.

Re: TSR Muscle Building Society For Men V4!Only strength training book i've ever been reccomended would be the Starting Strength book by Rippetoe which could be very interesting. Apparently he spends about 10+ pages describing how to quat which could be interesting...
On the other hand i have an absolutely hilarious weight lifting book that i found at home the other month which is from the 80s and it's a bunch of stupidly dressed people lifting small amounts of weights on dumbells and using over the top machines from the 80s. One of machines had a telelvision built in and it's a massively deep crt screen with a 5 inch picture... Next time i go back i'll grab the name of it... It's eff'ing hilarious though...
Also +1 on the Bad science. Literally the best book i've read this year by a clear mile...
Would send my copy but lent it to my dad to read...Last edited by Motorbiker; 06-05-2011 at 22:29. -

Re: TSR Muscle Building Society For Men V4!It's not. I find it incredibly dull. Sorry.(Original post by SMed)
They all are okay! Unless religious myth debunking is not fun for you. But A Short History of Nearly Everything is an epic book, and not really a religious book.
But yeah that one sounds okay too actually.

Re: TSR Muscle Building Society For Men V4!I read things related to my degree and the energy industry. The titles that SMed has recommended are also good.(Original post by Arturo Bandini)

Re: TSR Muscle Building Society For Men V4!There seem to be a few. But equally plenty who aren't.(Original post by HilariousNinja)
Is it me or do most of the people in this sub-forum seem to either be current UCL students or were?
(Bit random q but meh...)
