in Goal: Gaining Weight and Body Building
Where/How to look for study articles related to exercise/workout? I have seen many workout videos/articles giving references to scientific studies but never came across such articles.
Thanks!

    scholar.google.com is my go-to source - sometimes you can find the full-text article; if not, you can normally read the summary/conclusions - if you want the full-text you may be able to check with a local university library for the journal or request the article through inter-library loan

    I frequently go to sciencedaily.com.
    It is a news site for science and has an entire fitness section -- also a health and medicine section.
    It is not exactly weight-lifting news. It tends to be more general news than that. But there is enough interesting stuff that I think it is worth checking out.
    https://www.sciencedaily.com/news/health_medicine/fitness/
    The New York Times also has a wellness blog that can be rather interesting. It will often address questions like: How much rest do you need between lifting sessions? And, can you run too much? Also, reports on new studies with practical application for the adult athlete.

    I search in scholar.google.com instead of just google.com.

    There are websites dedicated to bodybuilding that cite and refer to scientific publications:

    In addition to google scholar, if you're a student or otherwise have access to academic journal subscriptions, start with your institution's library and search via their subscriptions (this is good practice for searching for articles in general - you'll probably be able to search google scholar via your institution's proxy which makes for a far smoother experience). Also you public library might have a subscription to EBSCO or JSTOR.
