Please check out our new video beginner guides by expert trainers Kris Gethin and Jamie Eason:
http://www.bodybuilding.com/guides/
They are still a work in progress (not all of them are completely finished), but I would love to get your thoughts to help us improve.
These are beginner guides for people that don't know how to get started.
Thanks!

I just checked out the first couple of videos and pages. A lot of it is motivational, but there's plenty of information in there to get anyone started. It also dispels some broscience that you find around the net and in the gym. Great addition to the site.
That being said, it's got plenty of broscience of its own.Last edited by gordonrumble; 01-03-2010 at 03:31 PM.

"For most of your working sets, choose a weight that you can lift for 10-12 reps. The last 1-2 reps should be extremely difficult, and you should barely be able to squeeze them out.
This is called training to failure, and it ensures your muscles receive maximum possible force. For optimal results, remember that you have to fail to succeed. For even better development, squeeze the contracted muscle at the top of the lift and hold it for one second."
Say what I bolded in the power lifting section and see what happens.
You do not have to fail to succeed. Failure leads to more failure, injuries and over training. Success begets success. Can't you get someone who knows what they're talking about to write this up?

One thing i believe would have been good to add was an option for strength in the goal section.

It isn't that they cant see the solution.

"The fitness and nutrition world is a breeding ground for obsessive-compulsive behavior. The irony is that many of the things people worry about have no impact on results either way, and therefore aren't worth an ounce of concern."--Alan Aragon
