i like ripp's books. they're pretty helpful and a good reference at times. but that doesnt mean i follow anything to the "T"...i only follow what Eric tells me to a "T" hehe...well, i try to...
Ripps books are alright. he doesnt advocate some stuff which i have found useful for me - unilateral work, etc..
Another good book is supposed to be Chad Waterbury's book from t-nation. with chad waterbury though: he looks so closely at the small pciture he forgets the big picture. always. thats why i hate his concept of 8 week programs, etc...thats no way to train. but i like his policies of unilateral work, slow progression using percentages, using different set rep schemes, more variation per exercise, etc etc....
if i had more cash lying around i would buy mel stiff's supertraining as well..ive heard that the book is supposed to be pretty brilliant.
ill see if i can think of any others but ripp and chad comes to mind. i think christian thibaudeau's books are alright but apparently he focuses a lot on oly lifts which arent my thing.
