Here is a list of books and DVDs. This is mostly for my own reference, so when I have some spare cash (not that it's likely that'll happen any time soon) or when someone wants to get me a gift, I/they have something to which we can refer.
Anatomy Trains
Excellent book on anatomy which is very useful for internal martial artists. Especially in reference to fascia, et cetera.
Somatics
Interesting looking book that I hope will help me with my development within internal martial arts.

Building muscle
[See link to right of the screen, under "Build your Physique!"]
Here's a (kindle) book on the Sandow method of body building which is not only a good guide to building muscle and developing mind-muscle connections/awareness but also an interesting read about how older training methods in body-building and boxing have been unfairly dismissed and discredited.
It is a very good read, informative and could help you develop your physique with just 20-30 minutes training per day. Already, it has amassed a few, very positive reviews. For the cost of a kindle book and the time in which you'd normally watch 'How I Met Your Mother', you could have the statuesque body you've always wanted.

Pandiculation's what you need...
Covered the topic of 'pandiculation'in bagua class on Friday.
http://gravitywerks.com/pandiculate-your-way-to-health/
One of the things I like about our class at http://www.manchester-bagua.org/, is that our instructor discusses training tips and matters of interest, not just in martial arts terms, chinese medicine & folklore terms, sports terms or even through physical activity, but also using science and, especially anatomical concepts.
More class-related news, too - will have to work a lot harder from now to keep my training on track.
