Are there any good sites or apps out there?

I want to get into the weight room (I'm getting tired of the machines...) but don't know where to start in terms of routine.

aaaaaand I don't want to look like a total dork going in there blind. It's been a LONG time since I was comfortable in a weight room!

    Starting Strength is also a good one.

    bodybuilding.com has lots of stuff, as does Tnation.

    Ditto this. I am a part of the NROL4W group and am on the home stretch of Stage 1. I really enjoy doing it.

    I'm currently doing starting strength. So far it is a great program.

    I use the Jefit app to log my workouts, and it also has various routines that their users use.
