Good BodyBuilding Books?
After lifting for the past 9 months, I'm wanting to learn more about the best ways to do everything. Best routines, form, diet, etc.
Can anyone suggest a good bodybuilding book?
I found one by health for life called "Secrets of Advanced Bodybuilders"
Anyone know if its any good?

MAX. Q

"Roughly one minute after the space shuttle launches, it must withstand a condition of extreme force known as Max Q. Mission success demands that all systems perform at the highest level.
In life, Max Q demands the same commitment to success. It requires choosing greatness, personally as well as professionally. It depends on balance, passion and courage and the wisdom gained from adversity. It is an outcome as well as an attitude."

A good book for natural Bodybuilders is Dave Draper's "brother iron sister steel" awsome book lots of tips and brings a lot of inspiration.

It might be an interesting read, but all the knowledge you need is really right here in the forums, so why buy expensive books written by genetic freaks and proffesional drug addicts/bodybuilders such as Arnold Swarzenegger? (no offence) If you are not on AS, chances are that you will overtrain very quickly if using his techniques anyway. If you do insist on buying a book, I would personally recommend Gold's Gym's encyclopedia.
