I would love some advice or a point in the right direction. I would like to get a book on training and eating right for a beginner. I am 37, 5'8", and around 195 lbs.
A little history... Pushed my weight 3 years ago to 205 and had problems with sleep apnea. Had nasal surgery and brought my weight down to around 165-170. Felt great, slept better, etc. Now having gained again, feeling tired a lot and am looking in the mirror and not liking the person I see.
My ultimate goals are to get in the best shape of my life in order to feel better, and hopefully sleep better. I don't think at this point I want to be the next Arnold, but want to be semi-ripped, lean as can be.
Thanks

Just to futher clarify... The reason I am asking for advice is because there is MUCH to read that I have found. Between Clarence Bass and his books, then Body for Life, or The Body Sculpting Bible for Men. Many similarities in dieting and routines, I see that. I guess I am looking for anyone with experience on these.

Try hanging around this board for awhile.
A good beginners guide into training would be Skip LaCour's Max-OT training DVD. IMO, the best fitness DVD yet.
Check it out at www.skiplacour.com
Max-OT is a very good layout if you stick to the prescribed amount of sets.
You can find a link to Max-OT on top of this board.
BTW, Clarence Bass has a nice approach to nutrition, but his views on training are a little off, IMO.

you're probably better off with a video. milos sarcev's secret of the pros shows a lot of technique and has 2 hours on nutrition alone.
