30 Dec The 5 Best Fitness Books Of The Year (2017 Edition)
(#233) Here’s my 6th annual post that I do each year as I reflect back on the best “fitness” books I’ve read during the last 12 months.
My criteria for this year's list is as follows:- Books that were released sometime during 2017
- Books I have in my own personal library
- Books I have read (or have read enough of to make an impact)
- Books that have important ideas or concepts to put into practice
Once again, this is my 6th annual “best of” list.
As usual, coming up with only 5 books was extremely challenging.
As in previous years, I’ll have a few others that are “honorable mentions” and I’ll explain them below.
Here's my video review summarizing all of these great books:

... “Coaches today simply don’t read enough books.” Have to say, I was really shocked by that. I’ll share my two cents on that statement later. You may know that I love books (if you didn't know that, you do now). I’m always recommending books on the podcast and...
27 Dec The 5 Best Fitness Books Of The Year (2016 Edition)
As we begin, let me tell you this. The list here should be titled the 5 best and most unconventional fitness books of the year. These aren't the typical "mainstream" fitness books and if you've read anything before from this website, you know that's not how I roll. Now that I said that, here's my 5th year of publishing the 5 best fitness books of the year. (If you missed last year's article, see the bottom of this post). What I can say about this year's list is that the books here can improve your life - or help you improve those you work with. These are performance books to enhance sport - or life. Coming up with this list was tough. It always is. It was tough because I read some great books this year, but the truth is I can't read everything out there, so there's probably some great books that I just didn't get to (yet). I still have a stack of books that were released in 2016 that haven't been read. Who can benefit from this list? Anybody really, but this is written specifically for coaches, trainers, lifters, the serious fitness enthusiast, and or the rehab professional. It's for people who simply want the edge in lifting, in sport, and in life.
28 Dec The 5 Best Fitness Books of The Year (2015 Edition)
Here's my 4th annual post summarizing the top 5 fitness books of the year. If you're a regular reader, you know how much value I place on reading great books to improve the quality of your life - in any subject, not just fitness. There were some great books this year, without a doubt. While I read a lot of books each year, I can't read everything, so I'm sure there were some other outstanding books that are probably deserving to be mentioned here, as well. The list criteria has evolved a bit through the years, so here's what I based things on this year:
30 Jun Quarterly Reading List: 5 Amazing Books You Should Check Out
Let me be honest with you, I’m a book nut. No - I'm a book NUT. If you’re a regular reader or you listener to the podcast, you already know that. Books are just one of my passions though, just like training is my passion. I hope you enjoy reading, as much as I do because reading is one of the easiest things you can do to improve the quality of your life.
29 Dec The 5 Best Fitness Books of the Year (2014 Edition)
It's that time where I review the top 5 "fitness" books I've read over the last year. This is my 3rd annual review of the top 5 books of the year. While it's never an easy decision, this year was extremely difficult based on the number of great books I've read.24 Jan Death by Food Pyramid: The Nutrition Book You Have to Read.
If you eat food, you need to read this book. I guess that means everybody. I'm going to deviate from my usual "strength talk" here because I would be doing a total disservice to readers by NOT sharing this book review. Here's the thing with nutrition. It can be...
