So far I have New Rules of Lifting and I'm getting starting strength from the library soon. What are some other great books?

    Starting Strength by Rippetoe is pretty much the penultimate starter's guide.

    I'll throw in a third recommendation for Jim Wendler. It isn't revolutionary but it's a solid approach to lifting and fitness in general. It is also very clearly set up and offers a lot of variations all drawn out.

    Hany Rambod's FST7 is by far (I dare say and his track record suggests) the best training program ever put out there.

    Ben Pakulski's MI40 is also a great program.
