Rippetoe's codex comes highly recommended for anyone new to weight training. Don't waste your time doing a billion variations of bicep cirls in *shudder* the squat rack: keep to the 5 big basics.
This book contins everything you need to know about all the major lifts: Squat, Deadlift, Bench Press, Shoulder Press, and Barbell Rows. There's even a section on Power Cleans for Olympic and power athletes. Just make sure that you read him as a strength coach; not a (rather laughable) humanistic philosopher.
It can be purchased from Amazon here.
