Can anyone give me some recommendations to get me going into bodybuilding. I have and read Arnolds Encyclopedia and I read alot of Muscle and fitness but I want more serious stuff that gets into the gritty details of bodybuilding down to setting up a perfect diet and techniques. Thanks

I've read arnold's encylopedia but alot of his stuff is really old school and he doesnt go into gritty details as much as I'd like him to. Basically, I want a "how to guide" of bodybuilding instead of a "try this technique" etc that every magazine gives you. I want a log of a bodybuilder, showing everything he's ate and every time he's gone and worked out and what results that gave him.
