Depends on your goals. If you like to prance around sporting a fake
tan, oiled and semi naked for sugar daddies, this will do:

On the other hand, if you are not into beauty contests, itīs *very*
difficult to beat Rippetoe's 'Starting Strength', here:
http://www.amazon.com/Starting-Strength-Mark-Rippetoe/dp/0976805405


Best of luck.

I am working on it.

The title is going to be "High on Androgens" or "Steroid Supermen."
