    Bodybuilding.com is an excellent place to start! Just don't drink the kool-aid

    Meh. Lots of bro-sciency nonsense online for the most part. Bb.com, T-Nation etc. I would recommend for beginners keeping it simple and running Starting Strength. Little more time then run 5/3/1.

    Personally I like elitefts. But I don't let what I read DRASTICALLY change my training. Get on a plan and run it.
