    Have a look at startingstrength.com. More a powerlifting than body building site, but if you want to get strong it's a good choice.

    Powerlifting sounds cool. I want to hoist myself over more barriers at the Mud Hero next year.

    I use Runnersworld.com frequently (and subscribe to the magazine), it's got useful training tips, product reviews and articles of interest to runners. Can't comment on bodybuilding.com - don't think I've visited it as I'm not interested in bodybuilding but I have used scoobysworkshop.com for information on strength training

    Okay! Yes that's what I heard about runnersworld so thank you for confirming that. I I'll check the other site too!

    I read a lot of articles on runnersworld. They have great information on different types of training, preventing and treating injuries, etc. I never "joined" though. I'm not a member...I just show up and read on occasion.

    Hahaha "just show up and read" lol made me laugh ..not in a bad way just the way you said it made me laugh. But okay.. Glad it helps.. i like that

    I might be missing something, but the advice given at Runnersworld would pertain to running, a cardiorespitory (aerobic) exercise, whereas a majority of the information at BB.com would pertain to strength training (anaerobic). I would imagine, since the goals of each are completely opposite, the information would differ greatly. And, with any information you read on the Internet, studying up on a specific subject would allow you to discern what's accurate versus whats not. However, BB.com articles, for the most part, are garbage, but the forums provide real information if you can soft through the marketing.

    This is exactly what I thought when I read the title.
    I don't understand the apples to unicorns comparison.

    The ONLY good things about bodybuilding.com:
    -Bodyspace app for tracking workouts. Lots of graphs, training summaries, etc. that are pretty nice to have
    -Cheap supps. Like better prices than anyplace else. Sometimes they will toss out promos as big as 30%, which is very nice.

    Other than that, stay far, far away from the forums; it's a cesspool in there. Worse than 4chan or similar trolling sites.

    No experience with Runners World, sorry.

    Thank you so much as the forums is what I was interested in knowing.. That's great news they offer good deals. I'll keep all of this in mind

    Yes I do both which is why I wanted to know opinions on both sites. I knew they offer different information as that is pretty obvious no offense.. I kinda just wanted other people's perspective.. For example what you shared about BB .
