It really is an awesome website. I've learned so much from there. The articles are wonderful (from a variety of authors including powerlifters, olympic lifters, bodybuilders, strength and conditioning coaches, strongmen/women, physiotherapists, nutritionists etc etc etc).
Sometimes the different articles / authors do have differences of opinion, though. There are controversies around overtraining and cardio etc.
They are sponsored by bio-test, though (hence the supplement plugs - I believe what they say about supplements but there are cheaper alternative brands). They get the sponsorship in part by getting lots of hits from people wanting to view the soft porn (aka 'figure athletes'). So you do have to put up with that, a bit, and lots of pics of far from natural bodybuilders.
The forums are a bit more variable (some amazingly knowledgeable people and some ignorant teenagers). Still... I've found it well worth sorting through the crap (and incivility) to read some really cutting edge stuff from people who seem to really know what they are talking about (based on their personal achievements, results with others, and credentials).
Best thing I've found on the web for a long time.
