Internet Resources for Training and Diet

Posted by admin on March 24th, 2009 at 12:39pm

I wanted to get a post up of all the sites that I read on a regular basis so that anyone who wants some good information knows where to go.

Training Resources

www.elitefts.com - This is, by far, the best site on the web when it comes to training information.  Just reading and researching on the Q&A brings a wealth of knowledge.  If you are ever looking for something to do, just search the Q&A for posts by The Thinker, Mark McLaughlin, Joe Defranco, Jim Wendler, Angry Coach, Zach Even-Esh, and more.  There is just a wealth of information over on that site.  Definitely check it out.  Also, if you have a few bucks in your pocket and want a manual that will get you strong as all hell, check this one out by Jim Wendler.  It has been working wonders for me thus far.

www.t-nation.com - T-nation is actually where I started learning quite a bit about training and nutrition.  They have a lot of good writers over there, including Eric Cressey, Mike Robertson, Dave Tate (who owns elitefts), and others.  T-nation seems to be a little more slanted towards bodybuilding, but there are still some good articles and sometimes some good discussions in the Strength Forum

www.higher-faster-sports.com - This is Kelly Baggett’s web site.  Kelly is somewhat of a vertical training expert.  Definitely read his articles and check out his vertical jump bible if you want a book to purchase that is dedicated to jumping higher.

www.ericcressey.com - This is Eric Cressey’s site and it has a ton of great information on keeping bones, joints, and muscles healthy and functioning properly.  Eric is for sure a great resource on training.

www.whitemencanjump.com - Haha, of course I am going to say my own site, right?  I plan to get some articles and opinions I have on what has and has not worked for me in the past and in the future.  Hopefully you can glean some information from my opinions and my training.

Diet Resources

www.bodyrecomposition.com - This is Lyle McDonald’s web site.  Lyle is for sure a nutrition “guru”!  Lyle definitely knows his stuff, his books are a great resource (I think I have almost all of them), and his forums are a wealth of great knowledge as well.

www.leangains.com - This is Martin Berkhan’s site where he gives some information about his Intermittent Fasting approach.  Again, a ton of no-nonsense information here.  Martin also posts on both of Lyle’s forums and from time to time he will pop into this thread in the nutrition section of www.bodybuilding.com.

www.elitefts.com - elitefts gets mentioned in the nutrition section as well, mainly for two or three of their writers on the Q&A.  I have found immense help from Shelby Starnes and Justin Harris.  Shelby put out a Carb Cycling guidebook that is a fantastic resource.  Eric Talmant also regularly posts interesting things on the Q&A regarding nutrition from his metabolic typing viewpoint.

www.t-nation.com - T-nation is not only a good resource for training info, but they sometimes have some pretty good articles with respect to nutrition as well.

Hopefully, between all the info in the above mentioned sites, you can keep yourself busy for awhile learning from real pros in the game.  There is so much terrible information out there, however by regularly reading the trusted sites above, you can seperate fact from fiction.
