Please find below a number of books that I have read that gave me a bit of a guiding hand. There isn't a single book that I agree with 100%, rather I pick and choose after applying a common sense filter.

These are in no particular order:

 

The Naked Warrior: Master the Secrets of the super-Strong--Using Bodyweight Exercises Only by Pavel Tsatsouline 

 

Convict Conditioning by Paul Wade

 

Dinosaur Training Secrets volume one by Brooks Kubik

 

Steve Reeves Building The Classic Physique - The Natural Way by Steve Reeves

 

Super Natural Strength by Bob Whelan

 

Brawn by Stuart McRobert

 

My goals have certainly changed over the years, I have shelved the one-arm pull up for the moment and have gone dimesions based, see the blog section for more detail.
