Buckeye1647545503 Posted April 28, 2005 Report Share Posted April 28, 2005 I would like to find a good book to read on the basics of lifting. I want to start and quickly begin to do more than just exercise so I need to get a good grasp of the basics. What are good books? What is the best?

iwishiwascool Posted April 28, 2005 Report Share Posted April 28, 2005 Books are often filled with outdated info. I work out at california fitness in Reynoldsburg. If you went with me (and DJ) You would learn a whole lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People have been getting built for a long time, and there are only so many ways to do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

black00ws6 Posted April 29, 2005 Report Share Posted April 29, 2005 the interweb has quite a few sites.. Just stick with the compound movements that involves working out several muscle groups at a time. Deadlifts, squats, dips, bench, shoulder press, bent over row, chin ups...

But what about tips and tricks and a good outline on putting together a good rutine (SP?) and I would think I would need to take additional supliments while lifting hard, But I don't want to be trying to figure out what is the "net greatest thing" and what I need to take to see good results. I am not looking to be Ronnie coleman or what not, as I am big enough and I don't want to be "cut" just fit and maybe slght abs would be good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drunkendubber Posted April 29, 2005 Report Share Posted April 29, 2005 Arnold has a pretty comprehensive book on lifting. Not sure what the title is off the top of my head. I'll see if i can dig it up this weekend when i go home. By comprehensive i mean as thick as the yellow pages, but man is there a lotta info in that bish.

Drunkendubber Posted April 29, 2005 Report Share Posted April 29, 2005 NOte i have minimal experience in lifting for mass since its not really possible for my build, but good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
black00ws6 Posted April 29, 2005 Report Share Posted April 29, 2005 For supplements, a good starting point would be take the ones that end sounding like -teen. Protein, creatine, glutamine, plus a good multivitamin. And like I said before, lots of compound movements. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iwishiwascool Posted April 29, 2005 Report Share Posted April 29, 2005 glutamine is worthless. My offer stands. Go back and read the thread about fat people in the kitchen. I posted a lot of info there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iwishiwascool Posted April 30, 2005 Report Share Posted April 30, 2005 There isnt a single study that shows its effectiveness and plenty to show that only MASSIVE amounts will make any difference at all. I have links if you'd like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
