Stronglifts.com Is a site I reccomend EVERYONE visit.

For those of you who don't know about it yet . . . .

Stronglifts.com is a great site that I recommend everyone here visit, subscribe to, frequent, and learn from.

The sites tagline is "Build Muscle & Lose Fat through Strength Training"

I like this site because it focuses on practical ways to improve your health and fitness, and yet has very deep through explanations on a variety of useful topics. And for all of you news nuts, it has an RSS feed and is updated every weekday.

There is also a nice 52 page e-book on strength training that includes a program outline as well with very through explanations on all aspects of each exercise in the program.

I hope everyone finds as much useful information on this site as I have.

Thoughts/comments/similar sites ?

Thanks, nice site!

I read this: http://worldfitnessnetwork.com/index.php

edit: That site and it's 5x5 program seems to have exercises which I can substitute with dumbbell counterparts (don't have barbell).

It's a great program. I've been doing it for about five weeks now and my gains have felt great. I love the simplicity of the program and how it doesn't require me to make the gym my second home.

Hopefully more people took a look

Started the 5X5 this week after a few years of wanting to get in shape. Thanks for the link!! That site was perfect to get me motivated. My goal is to be able to bounce my pecks in time for my trip to Cozmel this November.

Hey everybody, long time reader first time poster.

Just thought I'd put up a few links that I thought you might find helpful

The first is a blog called nobullfitness.blogspot.com

This is actually my own blog that I just recently started. Been lifting for a few years now and have done a lot of boxing and martial arts training over the years and have tried just about every routine and diet you can think of.

I basically started this blog to help people sort the good info from the crap, and there is a lot of crap out there (especiallt by a lot of these larger bodybuilding sites who are really just trying to push their advertisers products, and a lot of roided up idiots who are only big because they have been 'juicing').

A really great site that I have learnt a hell of a lot from is the bodybuilding, diet and fitness forums on nissansilvia.com, now I know it seems odd to go to a car site for info but there really is a lot of very strong/fit people on this forum who really know what they are talking about. Most of my best gains have come from listening to the advice on these forums.

anyway here's the link http://www.nissansilvia.com/fo...ndex.php?showforum=121
