I entered one and was significantly weaker than everyone else but still enjoyed the sh1t out of it. Everybody at a meet is sound and encouraging. Talking to and competing against people who were a similar build to me but far stronger than me made me want to work even harder.
Great.
I'll make it a goal to compete in 2017 then, no matter how hilariously embarrassing the outcome may be

Lads, I'm gonna be heading on a holiday on Monday next week.
I don't really read on holidays in general, but often will on the plane. But this year im feeling particularly lazy and reckon it'd do no harm to pick up a book on the ould body.
Was wondering if anyone here could advise on something decent worth getting? Not looking for a book that lists a load of exercises or that gives you a get-fit-quick workout or the likes. I'd be more interested in something that's scientifically based and discusses the body itself and it's reaction to different exercises (rep ranges, heavy weights vs light weights, etc.) Just a basic overall body + fitness guide I suppose.
Is there such a book out there? Or will I just have to spend my week writing it myself (full of factually incorrect information, of course)?
Preferably something i can order on Book Depository

Strength Training Anatomy is a pretty interesting read and sounds exactly like what you're looking for. LINK0 -

Left field suggestion: Nutrition and Physical Degeneration by Weston A Price0 -
Cheers folks.
Blacktie, i looked at the amazon preview for the book you sent, but from my overview it seemed to be more of an exercise guide in general. (ie; this is how to do a bicep curl, and this is the muscle it targets. This is how to do a tricep pushdown, and this is the muscle it targets, etc.) which wasn't really what I was looking for.
However, it did lead me onto another book(s) that I bought.
Hanley, I'll be completely honest - I don't know how, but I didn't even see your post until after I got something. But I'll give it a mooch on amazon when Im back and done with the two I got. Will do no harm
Incase anyone cares, the two books I settled on were Science and Development of Muscle Hypertrophy and then just as a back up incase I hate that (although the amazon preview makes it look like exactly what I'm after) i also picked up The Strength Training Anatomy Workout which looks a bit crappy from the cover and blurb, but again, using Amazon's preview, looked like it might actually be okay.0 -
