Harder Than Last Time! The Complete Muscle & Strength Training Manual
Training manual and programs built on beating the previous session
Greg Doucette's training book. More than 50 pages cover how training works, from mindset to short-term and long-term progression, before four programs arrive at each experience level: strength or hypertrophy, in a 60-minute or a 90-minute session. Sets, reps, rest times, resistance and intensity are specified per exercise, and a large exercise library lets lifters swap movements for whatever equipment they can reach. Cardio and diet guidelines sit in the same book, which he points out most training books leave out. Sold by level as an ebook.

Sold by experience level on his own site, the manual gives 50-plus pages on how to train before the programs land, four per level, split by goal and by whether a session gets 60 or 90 minutes. Cardio and diet guidance are folded in, which he notes most training books skip.
