Rippetoe's Starting Strength is the best place to learn the barbell movements and will take care of your first 3-6 months of training.

From there, you have a wealth of options like his Practical Programming, Wendler's 5/3/1 books, and the Tactical Barbell books for combining strength and endurance training. The Barbell Medicine podcast and strongerbyscience.com are also great.

If you find yourself wanting to compete, Juggernaut Training and the Renaissance Training groups are great sources.

If you want something portable you can do at home, Pavel's Simple and Sinister is your best bet for kettlebell work, and Overcoming Gravity will teach you bodyweight work that only requires a pull-up bar.

Wendler’s programs are great but buyer beware, his books are really hard to understand unless you already understand his programming. There is a definite bootstrapping problem there that doesn’t exist with all authors.

Agreed. He would really benefit from an editor. I think the usual recommendation for reading order is basically this: https://www.reddit.com/r/weightroom/comments/6g5m8o/book_rev...

For clearer writing and simpler programming, I would go for Tactical Barbell and Simple and Sinister over Wendler.

Doug Hepburn's programs (which can be found online with a minute of Googling) are also great for people looking at Wendler, but want something simple that can be run nearly indefinitely.
