Don't forget that he was the first person to squat over 1000 pounds in competition.
I have that book, also "Hardcore Bodybuilding: A Scientific Approach", another good read. Years ago I was actually studying for the ISSA's fitness trainer certification. It was never official though because I got lazy and didn't get cpr certified. Dr. Squat's stuff is good but I found myself needing a spreadsheet to figure it all out.
I like Pavel's stuff too. His talent seems to be to collect good information from a variety of sources and present it in a way that's easy to understand and to use. I could probably give a whole list of names I've been inspired by.
Scott Sonnon is another guy worth listening to. His material is kind of un-conventinal though so you kind of need to buy his products where he explains it in detail.
