Other than Body for Life (which I own and have read) and books by Ellington Darden (which I plan on checking out very shortly), are there other books that you would recommend that have been useful to you in your fat loss/workouts/bulking/bodybuilding?

I looked around but couldn't find a source of information here on books that people generally considered the best, other than the repeated mentions of Darden. Hence my question. :)

You learn something from any book on fitness. A few, you learn something on every page. Look at Amazon.com, good price plus you see reviews.


Any book by Darden, Frank Zane, Clarence Bass.
