This is one of the best books available on basic strength training, and now the third addition is supposed to be even better.  If you're looking for a simple strength training program to follow that is also highly effective, then this is it.  The book has the added benefit of teaching proper form for the lifts.

What I did today....

Warm Up:
- Jump Rope
- Samson Stretch
- Thrusters:  45x6, 135x4, 225x2

Strength Work:
Front Squats (65%, 75%, and 85% of 340):
- 225x5
- 255x5
- 289x5
Shoulder Press (65%, 75%, and 85% of 220):
- 143x5
- 165x5
- 187x6
1-Arm KB Press @ 62 lbs:
- 30 Reps in sets of:  10, 9,8, and 3

Conditioning:
1:00, :45, :30, and :15 rounds each of the following: 
- Pull Ups 
- Sit Ups 
- Push Ups 
- Squats 
Score: 300 reps.

The strength work today and this week as a whole have wrecked me, so I didn't do as well as I would've liked in the conditioning (28 fewer reps).
