i don’t know very many names, but i have heard many. since there are so many, i don’t know who to read first.
the only thing i know is that rippetoe is legendary for his starting strength book, so i guess he’s the go to guy for strength information. if there’s anyone else, let me know.

how about for athletic performance?

Kelly Baggett
Joe DeFranco
James Smith
Eric Cressey
Christian Thibaudeau
Charlie Francis

Just off the top of my head. For a good starting point, read DeFranco’s Westside for Skinny Bastards III and check out elitefts.com and work your way from there.

I would say start with Kelly baggett and Higher-Faster-Sports.com, and from there on go through elitefts.com and the T-Nation website. You’ll find enough to read for a long time.
