Yo! Zach!
Guess I got a lot of time on my hands recovering from surgery. Doc said I could start doing whatever I felt like again, but in two weeks I go back for more work so I might be layed up for a week or two after that.
Then, it’s gonna be time to really crank it again. But in the meantime I have two weeks to train as I can so I will make good use of that time.
With your encouragement I just ordered Dan John’s book. I was going to get it a while ago and fogot all about it. Couldn’t remember where I saw it. Thanks for the link!
A partial list of some of the books I have:
Viking Warrior Conditioning
Beyond Bodybuilding
Arnolds Encyclopedia of Modern Bodybuilding
The Weightlifting Encyclopedia by Arthur Drechsler
Doug Hepburn Course
Olympic Style Weightlifting by Jim Schmitz
Super Squats
Brawn
Rock Iron Steel
The Naked Warrior
Power To The People
Beyond Stretching
Bullet Proof Abs
And a bunch more…

Hells Yea, great stuff zach
You have to add Infinite Intensity by Ross Enamait to that list. The best training book I have for sure.
oh man andrew, I have Ross’s stuff – that dude is awesome, I would love to see combat athletes have his book and anyone else who does NOT train at a gym.
Ross is f**ing awesome!
Walter – niiiiice!!!
Pavel – all of his books are awesome.
Kenneth Jay is a beast, I interviewed him for my kettlebells for combat dvd set and he unleashed awesomeness!!!
Super Squats – sheesh, how can I miss it!!
Keys to Progress – amazing stuff!!!!
5/3/1 is actually now on hardcover from EFS!
strong together is an amazing little book and 1 of my favs!
and i freaking left out the original edition of arnold’s encyclopedia of modern bodybuilding!

Good list Zach. I have a huge collection of training books, most of them pretty good. Out of all of them, these three are the one’s I wish I had at the start of my adventures in weight training.
Power to the People! – Pavel Tsatsouline
Starting Strength – Mark Rippetoe
Super Squats – Randall Strossen
Looking forward to your mindset and business picks
Damion u rock bruddah, I gotta get Coach Rip’s Books BIG time!!!
Being strong and lifting heavy is in my DNA, it’s f**ing imposisble for me to stray away!
Best training books I have, have never been translated to English… I just wonder what the Eastern Europeans have that has never been translated!
Other favourites aside from few Finnish olympic lifting books(by Bruno Nyberg and Kaarlo Kangasniemi):
Steve Justa – Rock Iron Steel (I’ve heard that the original unedited by Randall Strossen is even better)
Jim Wendler – 5/3/1
Pavel Tsatsouline – PTP,BB and BS
Doug Hepburn biography
Rocky Marciano biography
Arnolds Encyclopedia of Modern Bodybuilding
Robert Kennedys books… lots of old school info in those.
Charles Poliquin – The Poliquin Principles
Mark Rippetoe – Starting Strength
Marty Gallagher – The Purposeful Primitive (This book is a bit insulting but the stories about lifters are good)
There’s probably more but I can’t recall all.
Couldn’t agree more with Never Let Go. A must.

U brought gold to the table baby, I gotta check them Finnish books
Louie Simmons said how many of the Finns are BIG deadlifters because they work at the paper mill, and they load up the stacks of paper from lumber yards onto sleds and drag the sleds forwards and backwards
The sleds make their lower body incredibly strong and overall conditioning is great.
I like learning from stories like that, reminds us what to do!
Callum
heck yea bruddah, great minds think alike
did Dan John influence you yet to rock the Litvi squat – sprint superset??
That is my favorite chapter thus far!
Hey Zack nice collection you should do more of these it is cool to know what you recommend. I have most of those books but another good one is Fit To Fight by Jason Ferrugia. Peace Out

Zach, the lifters back then did have tremendous background with manual labour. Kumpuniemi, Välineva, Malinen etc.
Pekka Anttila has listed two reasons why forest-work especially is so beneficial: One as you mentioned is the tremendous GPP benefits and other is the unstable surface which causes hip mobility to increase along with tendon strength.
I might send you some pics of the old books I have.
Rick, pls do send some pics and I am gonna hunt those books down.
I LOVE that stuff.
My favorite books will be passed down to my son, and I think this tradition can really stay alive of serious, hard core, strength training / bodybuilding.
Thnx in advance Rick!
I’m honored for your help bruddah!

Peace!
