Recommendations for other training books? I've gone through:
- Starting Strength, Rippetoe (excellent)
- Practical Programming, Rippetoe/Kilgore (excellent)
- Strong Enough?, Rippetoe (good)
- The Strongest Shall Survive: Strength Training for Football, Bill Starr (great for training groups, good nutritional advice)
- Defying Gravity: How to Win at Weightlifting, Bill Starr (good for laughs)
I'm going to pick up Powerlifting: A Scientific Approach by Hatfield, since it's like $7.00 on Amazon. Maybe Mike Tuscherer's book on his Reactive Training System? After that, maybe jump in the deep end with Zatiorsky's stuff.

I have Science and Practice, it's really goodStrongest Shall Survive is ok, but not that useful for powerlifting/weightlifting. I thought Starting Strength was only OK, but I'm sure it's not particularly useful for powerlifting compared to other strength training materials for the same reason as Strongest: they make compromises because they are training athletes.
I really need to pick up a good training book one of these days, but I'm so back logged on reading papers, math books, and pleasure reading, that I don't see it happening any time soon.
Don't do it. It only messes with your head.
