I must admit this is a huge empty barrel, the list I suppose is endless but this is just for fun, of course but it would be nice to see what people think and read.

An irony of JP's isometric book is the useful references to authors that combined isometrics with heavy lifts( static contractions) . Even the reference to the Bronze Bow archers is ironic ( another derivative of isometrics ). Hence, readers may choose to seek out those references to enhance their training .

Great books everyone but I must admit I don't rate the Kavadlo brothers, strong and ripped yes, big no, not their fault I know it was their publisher stretching out their bodies on their book covers, Marlon Birch had the same done.
Some of the other books I have read, of course as all books, some good, some not so good.
Marlons books are not bad, but six days per week I would say is a little to much fire me.
I see not many have mentioned Bronze Bow books. I was going to put an emoji here but I am on my kindle fire and I don't know how to.
Keep up the good work folks.
Keith

My favorites: bodybuilding : Clarence Bass's books not from a bodybuilding perspective, but more of watching his passion over the years for health and how it changed as he got older.
Bodyweight: Ross Enamait’s books The Underground Guide to Warrior Fitness Great collection of BW exercises and Never Gymless ‘How to’ for setting up a BW program
isometric Bruce’s website(s) made working out at work easy to do, all his info has always been offered free and he has always welcomed any questions about what he posts
nonfiction Blind Courage by Bill Irwin His adventure of backpacking the AT while blind with his guide (seeing eye dog, Orient) As an old backpacker, I still close my eyes for short distances and just be in awe of what he accomplished.
