Sup,
what are some essential books to read for a guy who lifts
I mean books that focus on training, not self improvement or philosophy or other stuff
Personally I have read or at least owned the following:
Starting Strenght; basic but a pain in the ass to read
SuperSquats
Beyond Brawn, totally autistic but very detailed
Bigger, Faster, Stronger, like a proto-5/3/1
The strongest shall survive, outdated SS with football emphasis
Training for Warriors/Warrior Cardio
Insane Training by Matt Kroc
I think the basics of training are well explained in the sticky without needing to spend money on books, but I want to expand my knowledge and read up some more
Right now I plan to buy pic related when im finished with my current books
Delavier books are goat tier

Vince Gironda "Unleashing the Wild Physique"

Is this of any use if you do anything besides ss or texas method/any rippetoe approved programmm?
Convict Conditioning is pretty much the basis of my routine, with some other calisthenics exercises and dumbbell lifts added for variety, along with a warmup at the beginning and an HIIT session at the end.

A classic book with some great material. Check out escalating density training by charles staley, or some of Pavel's works.
