<h2>For an absolute beginner :</h2>
If you don't have any idea of any theories than, I would suggest to study theories at first. Just practice beginner problems at first which contains no-calculus(It's OK if that book contains few beginner calculus). **I suggest to read High Schools Physics Book for studying theories**. High Schools Physics Book contains most of Newtonian Mechanics's theories.
<h2>If you have studied theories :</h2>
If you have ideas of theories than you can deal with some calculus problems like deriving some higher level equations. After studying few books, I chose **Classical Mechanics by Goldstein**. After studying theories while deriving some equations you will understand what's the equation is trying to say how the equation works. That's why you must have idea of theories. You will understand how equations are found how equations work by studying **Classical Mechanics of Goldstein**. Even, Goldstein had explained easily so that everyone can understand it easily. Some people might scare after getting the book cause, in second chapter they started explaining Lagrangian Mechanics then, Hamilton. It covers lot of higher level theories. That's why I said to study theories at first.
Found another equivalent book of Classical Mechanics by Goldstein. The books explains texture more briefly than Goldstein did. [Introduction to Lagrangian and Hamiltonian Mechanics](https://www.pdfdrive.com/introduction-to-lagrangian-hamiltonian-mechanics-d21134789.html)

<h2>If you already have read a Classical Mechanics book of higher level :</h2>
After studying a Classical Mechanics book, you may want to practice problems. Most of University says to study **Introduction to Classical Mechanics by David Morin**. It's not very easy. You will become pro in Classical Mechanics if you can solve every problem by yourself. You can study **Competitive Physics** also for practicing problem. A person said that **Competitive Physics** is too hard he also said,"If you haven't read 2 or 3 books on Physics than you can't understand anything of the book". But, I haven't looked at that book so I am not saying anything about it.
