I've been using The New H.I.T. Training Manual by Ellington Darden, for almost 3 months now. The best thing about the program is that it corrects alot of the ego driven, heavy weight swinging concepts you see in most gyms today. I actually used this system to rehab my lower back after deadlifting to much weight with poor form. The book basically prescribes brief but very intense circut style workouts. Form and intensity are stressed over - load. I found this workout to be very well structured and efficient. Using the progressive overload concept in the book, I've been able to chart a significant increase in my overall strength over the past three months.
I've also been to the crossfit website and was very impressed with their overall strength/fitness philosophy. Either way, I don't think you can go wrong. Good luck!
