A good place to start. Build up some static strength and toughen up your ligaments.

The book Mentzer was working on when he died. A good summary of the best of his work.

Darden produced some excellent books, and this is best of the bunch. Getting hard to find now, which is a shame because it is so useful.

Unless you already have perfect technique for all your lifts then this will set you on the right path to avoid injuries. There are a few unusual exercises in here that you might not have tried before.

Another Darden book to search out. Well worth the effort to track it down. Gives a good middle road between Super Slow and regular HIT lifting.
