One of my pet hates with bodybuilding, as many regulars on here will know, is all the BS info spouted all around the web. This usually leads to confusion, frustration, unnecessary financial expense and possible injury! This site is like a breath of fresh air:

http://www.scoobysworkshop.com/index.htm

Experienced trainers may scoff, but the guy gives honest advice and has a great physique to back himself up.
 
I found that site a while back through his youtube videos and it really helped me. The guy is honest and endeavours to provide solid real world advice. His diet advice differs somewhat from the norm, but needless to say it works as he is a walking advertisement of that. Just to add to what Jeffstar has already said.
 
Yep, been using his youtube vids recently and they've been great. Really goes into detail and points out the key bits that a lot of others forget.
 
his vids are great, smart guy as well seems to be much more realstic then most websites without trying to sell you stuff :D
 
Looks like a good website specially the posture which I'm quite bad for, however the ab one seems hard;
"Abdominals. Here is a trick that not only makes you look amazing but supports your lower back as well - constantly keep you abs flexed. I can hear your disbelief now, no I'm not crazy. I got this tip from Bob Paris' book "Built" in the early 90's and it has helped me ever since. The abs do a marvelous job of supporting and protecting the lower back, if you let them. Suffering from chronic lower back pain I was searching for a non-surgical solution to my problem when I read Bob's book. Here's what you do, when you are walking or moving, keep your abs flexed - its not as hard as it sounds. With a few months of practice and reminders from a friend/spouse it can become automatic. At first, practice standing in front of the mirror with the abs flexed and make sure to incorporate the pelvic tilt correction above as well - look at yourself sideways in the mirror both relaxed and with corrected posture and ask yourself which way you want the candid picture of you taken at the beach."
:eek:

Edit: not so sure on his strong dislike of eating fat in your diet, I sure as hell aint wasting a good egg by throwing away the yoke: http://www.scoobysworkshop.com/MythEggs.htm

the abs thing works. I suffer from anterior pelvic tilt which has caused chronic lower back pain as well as injuries to my knees. i don't so much flex my abs as my TA now which has the effect of helping to straighten out the imbalance. although also seeing your dr for a referral for a physio is the best advice in the case of long term back pain.
