Guys what are everyone's opinions for the best books out there for developing your own training programs?
I have been lifting for about 17 years but feel I have gotten stagnant. I also have taken some time off from lifting but because of some achilles tendon problems my exercise is limited to stationary bike and lifting (all body parts are fine to lift for except calves while rehabing). So I am interested in putting together a performance based periodization training program to take me through until May with some good progress. Either one macro cycle till then (approx 4 mo) or 2 smaller macro cycles. I want to really focus on performance and composition changes (to develop maximum strength for body weight) rather then straight muscle growth.
Thoughts or book suggestions would be appreciated?
