Sticking to books the only other one i could recommend that I’ve read is the sports gene . It talks about the 10,000 hour rule and basically how some people are just born to be better at sports.
The other two books i have that i need to read are periodization and supertraining .
Other books I’ve been thinking of reading are the louie simmons/westside barbell collection. Especially olympic weightlifting strength manual .
Or
weightlifting programming .
I’m a powerlifter but i enjoy the olympic lifts i’m just not strong with them (best lifts are snatching bodyweight and c&j 1.25 bodyweight).
Great advice. The Russians have lots of info on tracking your training like this and give volume recommendations based on your total and weight class. Bob Takano's book would be pretty useful in this context.
Another useful book would be Medvedev's A System of Multi-Year training in Weightlifting. This is the stuff that Bob's book is based on.

These figures were given to me by my coach, an NCCP Level 2 certified weightlifting coach (one of two in the whole province) who has brought athletes to nationals.
Before training Oly, I aimed for about 130g, which is indeed about 1g/lbs (at the time i was about 135-140). Since starting weightlifting he's had me slowly add up to 200g, which is about 1.3 or so of my current weight.
These figures are also reflected in Bob Takano's weightlifting books.
Of course everyone has to experiment with their own body, and the numbers are ranges and guidelines. But if stalls are happening with lifts, the number one thing I've learned to add is more protein, especially for lifters, and I'd give this advice, to carefully track their protein and add if they are stalling, to most non-oly lifters too if their goal is to get strong.
edit: Read the thread, and nothing I am suggesting really is counter-indicated in that article. I eat about 50g in 3 meals (8am, 1pm, 10pm), and then another 50ish as snacks (4pm, 7pm) protein bar, protein shake after training.
