Some of My Favorite Strength & Conditioning Books

by Zach Even - Esh 7 Comments

NavySEAL-Books

I am constantly asked about my favorite books or what I'm reading right now.

My library is constantly growing, evolving, adding books on training, business, lifestyle, mindset and inspirational autobiographies.

If you use the search bar on my blog you can find some OLD videos of me showing you the library from my previous home. Type in phrases such as "strength books", "business books", "strength & conditioning books", etc.

Those older videos were certainly from some years ago but I STILL recommend those books. Old books don't necessarily mean bad books. In fact, many of the older books are free of filler, fads and gimmicks so you can't go wrong with them more often than not.

For now, I will share with you this video and link up a few more books under this video as well. If you want to be kept in the loop on my favorite books, I give Underground Strength Insiders a weekend reading list every Friday.

This particular list is centered around my favorite strength & conditioning books. I will create another video for the other categories such as business, lifestyle and then the books that fall under one umbrella and impact me in ALL areas of life. That type of book is often an autobiography or a military book.

Stand by for that list and video. For now, enjoy a list of my favorite strength & conditioning books.

Library Video Below From December, 2015

There are some books that aren't in my office (Not shown on Video), instead, I have books floating around in all areas of my house.

I keep books in various areas because I often take quick breaks throughout my day and read. Sometimes I read outside on my back deck, other times on the couch.... Reading and learning is a passion of mine.

A Great book can change your life.

Here is a List of Authors and Books I highly recommend from Strength & Conditioning.

    Hey Zach,

    You should check out The Talent Code by Daniel Coyle. It’s a study on how “overnight” talents are actually incredibly trained people who have master coaches and practice deeply. It researches the hotbeds of talent like Caribbean baseball and South Korean women’s golf. I feel like it describes what you are doing in Jersey with your wrestlers.

    Live the code.
