    You might want to try Mark Ripptoe's "Starting Strength"

    http://www.myweightlifting.com/beginner-weight-training.html

    You don't have to buy the book. Details of the program are easily available on the web.

    I love the Adonis workout. adonisindex.com has a 12 week foundation for beginners, then 80 some odd weeks of different cycles to keep your body guessing.

    Also check out books by Pavel Tsatsouline, e.g. "Power to The People" he goes in depth on proper technique. I also frequent http://fitnessblackbook.com/ it's a good blog, with lots of good info on getting lean, and strength training.
