Jerry Brainum is top notch. One of the few fitness/nutrition writers worth reading.

Writers that were physically fit? Mishima and Plato

Writers that write about fitness? Rippetoe and Kilgore

Books that people who browse Veeky Forums may enjoy specifically? The Greek Epic Poems, The Norse Sagas

Jack Donovan. If you're into the whole redpill manosphere thing, he's literally the only writer worth reading.

Swole as fuck too.

>he's literally the only writer worth reading

meant to put "Types of books"*

>Jack Donovan. If you're into the whole fucking other men in the asshole manosphere thing.

General books?

Biomechanics of Skeletal Muscles by Zatsiorsky and Prilutsky
Practical Programming for Strength Training by Rippetoe and Baker
Science and Practice of Strength Training by Zatsiorsky and Kraemer
Starting Strength by Rippetoe
Supertraining by Verkhoshansky and Siff
Mean Ol' Mr Gravity by Rippetoe
Defying Gravity by Bill Starr
Olympic Weightlifting: A Complete Guide for Athletes & Coaches by Everett
FIT by Lascek, Kilgore and Hartman
Weightlifting Programming by Takano

Wish we had english translation of Sheiko's books, he's written tons of stuff.

Then there's of course the specialised books, stuff like Lascek's Texas Method books or 5/3/1 books, among many others.

Joking r-right?

Fuck i just bought the whole tetralogy even through i just read Confessions of a mask and The Temple of the golden Pavilion, did i fuck up?

Dalinar is based as fuck

It's just a guide lol

You're not going to get cancer because you haven't read The Sound of the Waves.

That being said, I'd personally at least read The Sailor Who Fell from Grace with the Sea fist.

is Kaladin natty?

Gaunt's Ghosts

Why exactly? Do you believe i would be able to delve deeper in the tetralogy after reading The Sailor Who Fell from Grace with the Sea?

Yes. But you could delve deeper if you read a biography of Mishima, and spent a few months reading essays and writing analysis of his works.

You can always read a book more than once.

Don't worry about reading it if you just want to hop straight to the tetralogy.

>reading books that tell you to go T Rex mode

Good meme, nice job!

Thanks, i feel some small regret by purchasing those first, if i knew about this at the time i would have began by it, but well, i can re read it later.

...

best book on the god damn market, right babe?

Reading Ragnar Redbeard is guaranteed to raise your T by at least 50%.

book 3 when?

All these neckbeard fedora books. I thought Veeky Forums books would be about routines, lifting forms, and diet.

>neckbeard fedora books

Spot the insecure bitch

No one here lifts user, you should know this

Spotted the autist that gets life advice from a Chilean Zumba forum.

That sounds boring and autistic as fuck. How much can be said about lifting and diet without going full autist?

Where did you spot him?

The only advice I get here is about Squat form.

Asking this board for life advice and book recommendations will just lead to a narrow minded world view. Ignorant 16-30 year old males with insecurities about their bodies, relationships, and future will know very little about life.

Kurt Vonnegut has pretty good material. Slaughterhouse 5 and sirens of titan are good reads

Worldview definitely affects your gains, just like posture. Being a beta leftist cuck will make you look like an effeminate hipster faggot. Far right politics will increase your testosterone.

>Far right


Mishima was a fag , draft dodger , I can see how right wingers find him appealing

+1

>lefitst
>far right

Instead of adhering to party politics, why don't you think for yourself?

For example, I can be considered a liberal because I am pro abortion and pro gun control, but I'm also pro-immigration control and anti-Islam.

Latsbrah, please go.

Time for a trip to the archives

Is this some rare alternate cover/title to Starting Strength?

I recommend every man read A Separate Peace and The Old Man and the Sea. The Great Gatsby is also fairly easy reading and reasonably helpful to a man's life (i.e. a sensible telling of how a life of excess may not still get you everything you want, and it's difficult to struggle against your past, etc.).
For men who find they like to read I'd also recommend Moby Dick and even Don Quixonte, though I wouldn't force myself to muddle my way through either of them if I wasn't really a voracious reader.
Aside from those recommendations, I think you're all better off trying to remember some books you liked as students and check out linked recommendations on GoodReads, because while classics are classics for a reason, it's not worth pushing through them when there's a world of fun, interesting and leisurely reading out there for you.

Read some satre and go from there nigga

Trappy you are a fucking meme...

Frank Yang books recommendations are actually really good.

The left/right divide is irrelevant to gains. Especially considering self-determination is a libertarian value and libertarianism falls between the traditional left right divide

kek
Fedora tier fascism

Marcus Aurelius- Meditations and any of the Roman stoics like Epictetus
Plato- The Republic
Sun Tzu- The Art of War
Thucydides- On justice power and human nature

I recommend all the Robert E Howard original Conan the Barbarian stories. They're formulaic and the characters are one-dimensional, but they're entertaining as fuck, and Conan is basically Veeky Forums's definition of Alpha

Ernest Hemingway
John Updike
Robert Heinlein
Denis Johnson

what's not fedora tier fascism

Nice, user, very nice.

Hilarious. Congrats on the trips, also.

Don Quixote is easy and fun as fuck to read. Long sure, but it's a comedy.

...

>Jack Donovan
Just started The Way of Men. So far its been really good. Hopefully I'll have more time for it after Finals.

the anatomy books (A.of exercise, muscle building, core stability) are bretty gud for visual learners

Just kill yourself you retarded faggot

>Berenstain
I thought it was Berenstein

>that pic

"Squat Every Day" any good?

Pic related is you.

just a book that's trying to CASH IN on the red pill and manosphere concepts.

the problem is it doesn't do it very well. your getting a fucking book that talks about subjects in a bro/manosphere writing that is going to end up having a bunch of faggots thinking their alpha.

there already has been better books that talk about males relating to modern society.

You sound stupid as fuck. Why do you think labels exist in the first place? You're not right wing because you like the word right wing, you're right wing because you think for yourself and hold right wing beliefs.

It's literally the first novel in western literary tradition. Its style, pacing, narrative and diction are archaic, haphazard and complicated.
Pretending that it was an easy read makes you sound dumb, not smart.

I always thought that this guy had some sort of headphones+microphone set, now I stand corrected

Nice manicure, faggot.

I've read most on that list and can barely even remember any. Just stick to Evola. The rest are just his concepts dumbed down.

Sun Tzu's the art of war.

Not the other user, but the first two tomes of the tetralogy are the best works of Mishima. You don't need to read anything before delving into it, but you might need more time for the third (you'll understand why). Do not hesitate anymore, it isn't a difficult read.
The Sailor who fell from grace with the sea is a short tale, very easy to read and appreciate; it is certainly a good start if you're afraid of thick books.

I don't understand this pic.
There's a guy just standing there.
What's funny about it

Shallan is cute. CUUUTE

RIP this thread, but the Caiaphas Cain books are pretty good

Fuck of fag.

Seconding the Stoic reading. Meditations (Gregory Hays translation) is a must-read.

Also Seneca's writings.

Read Norse mythology

My nigga

My Seneca just arrived today, looking forward to it

That's actually fucking bullshit.
The world was and will continue to be a shitty place at it is, if there is no change to the mindset you just represented.
Generalizing is the worst and dumbest thing people can do - but they still do it - and they will still do it because it's the easiest way to get past conflicts without thinking it through and getting invested into the great scheme of things.

Political partys and this whole left/right bullshit is outdated as fuck and needs to be eradicated out of the mind of people, so they start in building their own philosophie to life - without generalizing and stereotypical thinking.

The new ÜBERMENSCH is gonna be build on the best and most rational concepts - of both wings - that guides the way to the future - without losing roots to morals and humanity itself.

That führerscience lmao

>muh Marcus Aurelius

why are you faggots so fucking predictable?

The only true Veeky Forums answer

Seriously though, if you want something uncompromising try QFT by Weinberg or the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali

you can't even spell properly, stfu

This whole thread is pure fucking neckbeardry.

"Look at me, I'm so smart and enlightened for reading this stuff!"

Or, crazy thought, people read books and give recommendations.

Go back to playing vidya and eat yourself to death you fat faggot.

I'm not even fat you disabled cucking coon

You're all fucking neckbeards, reading obscure works just because they're obscure, no actual reason
