Everyone needs a mentor - someone that you can look to for inspiration and direction. Over the years I have had several (whether they knew it or not). Some have passed on, some have gone crazy, and some I have simply outgrown.
One of the few individuals whose opinion and knowledge I still respect after 15 years in this business is Lyle McDonald. Lyle tells it like it is and his unwillingness to sell-out only lends more weight to his training and nutrition advice.
Do yourself a favor and head over to his website - bodyrecomposition.com. Browse his article section. It is a wealth of free and practical information for trainers/trainees of all levels.
He even has a free forum where you can find like-minded individuals and ask questions. Do your research before asking though. There is such a thing as a stupid question and patience is not one of Lyle’s strongest virtues.
Here are a few interesting articles to get you started:
