Wendler, Rippetoe, and Tate. Dan John and Ben Bruno as honorary mentions
Loving all the Poliquinisms. I often wonder if that guy really thinks anyone actually believes any of his crazy stories.
Having said that his book Modern Trends In Strength Training is excellent. And a lot of his stuff is pretty good it’s just he goes way over the top with the other useless shit treating us like idiots.
Martin Rooney annoys me a bit as well. Train like a man and be awesome and all that crap. What are we 16 years old FFS.
Wendler answers a lot of questions with, “to be more awesome” as well and it really is annoying but at least he did put out a well balanced program.
Rippetoe I’m not sure how his articles even get published. His last few have been absolute rubbish and make him out to be very narrow minded and stubborn with little knowledge outside of a barbell.
On the positive side Dave Tate articles are excellent. Goes into great detail explaining his reasoning and gives a systematic approach to whatever method he is using.
Clay Hyght is one of the few who actually discusses bodybuilding and gives excellent advice and training knowledge on how to achieve an aesthetic body.
Tony Gentlecore is very good with considering a lifters background and avoiding injuries. Along with Eric Cressey they are probably the two I listen to the most although Cressey doesn’t post much on here anymore.
Tim Henriques has put out many articles on building strength in a particular area or training block and when put to the test his programs work.
Christian Thibaudeau is an interesting character. I read his books before I ever got onto this site so already had a strong appreciation for him although was very much confused once reading his livespills etc…on this site. He seems to like to jump from one method to the next at a fairly rapid rate. That’s fine but then he seems to not want to discuss any of his older methods which at the time he thought were golden.
His later works on here have been high frequency training, eccentric less training, neural charge training with jumps and prowler pushes etc…, ring training where he said it was the best way to build the back, wave loading using 5,4,3,2,1 or 3,2,1 etc…, layer method using clusters etc… and now a push back to olympic lifting . All good training tips but …a tad hyperactive perhaps.
His earlier articles on progressions and periodisation are excellent.

- Poliquin hands down. Some of these quotes in this thread are too funny but not even the worst.
- Ben Bruno- Nothing against him, im just a meat and potatoes guy when it comes to lifting
- Brett Contreras - Cant take him serious after Lyle McDonald ripped him a new butt hole and he cried like a baby on his own website about it
Honorable mention for the top:
John Berardi
Wendler
Meadows and Thibs.

I see what you mean about Ben Bruno. He makes up some crazy but brutal exercises. I tried his inverted row drop set today and it scorched my back. I think the reason he uses unconventional exercises and equipment is because he is training around knee and back injuries.
Also, why does everyone love Dan John so much? I think he is a good story teller but his training advice is nothing special to me.
Charles Poliquin is one of my favorite writers, because I personally tried some of his methods and had the best results I have ever experienced in the 20+ years of training.
No, I don’t believe in magical Dominican avocados, or insane stories of one arm pullups, but rather than listen to what I already know are stories of witchcraft, I just tried out his stuff on my own.
I think Shugart and TC are golden too, they put a real world spin on training and all that comes with it.
Dan John, Wendler and Cressey
Getting bigger, and stronger takes progressive resitance, it's a simple concept. I hate authors that over complicate this to A, sound smart, or B, distance themselves from other coaches "They're special program"
It’s funny for the most part authors here that push basic progression, on basic exercises. Have A, acomplished great things themselves, and B, actually have some meat on they’re bones–Wendler, Tate, and Dan John, for sure, also CT, and Meadows, both these guys add they’re own style, but progressive resistance on big exercises is the core for both, and they help me think out side the box. Sick of skinney authors with complicated programs, telling me how to get big.
At the top of my list though is Eric Cressey, dude is 20yrs ahead of his field, strength ninja, at least we still have his young jedi Tony. It's funny to read so many authors trying to sell Eric's idea's from 10yrs ago as they're own cutting edge idea's now, at least every other week I read one of these.
We’ve lost some great author’s over the years, but as a whole TNation rocks, and still offers the best info, for a wide variety of training goals–PL,BB,Oly,athletic—Knowlage is power
TC Luoma - Always interesting and hilarious articles to bring out the alpha in your sack.
Christian Thibaudeau - Goes against the norm (or used to) with his philosophies such as illustrating the very negative effects of “bulking”
John Meadows - Awesome training methods that WORK. He is also a stand up guy that is always willing to help others.
Charles Poliquin: “I had a physique competitor go 9.4% body fat to 7.8% in 6 days after I told her to consume butter and coconut oil 6 times a day.”
Jim Wendler, Dave Tate, and Martin Rooney.
TC Luoma for sure! Is ,articles on nutrition are always interesting, he favors the dark side of the moon.
Ben Bruno is just a sadist, for that I love him
Martin Rooney, he has been a man as long as he can remember, big lols and good challenges
These are my hands down top 3!
My honorable mention goes to
Todd Bumgardner is a refreshing read, hes funny ! don’t think he has been mentioned yet
Favorites:
Nate Miyaki, John Romaniello, Clay Hyght. And Ben Bruno is probably my favorite since I have lots of injuries and he does videos for his exercises.
Least favorites:
Mark Rippetoe.
Likes:
Ian King, Thibs, heck almost all of them. What ever happened to Dave Barr?
Any I didn’t like didn’t get committed to memory. Most recently is Rippetoe, and the only reason I remember Alwin Cosgrove is because of the accusations and proof by King that Cosgrove word for word plagiarized virtually everything he ever did.

I think nearly all “gurus” or coaches are good guys. It’s just there after some time, I get what’s called the “celebrity effect”. That is, I simply get tired of them and their sycophants after some time and I understand that this fatigue might even be uncalled for even though it simply happens.
Some examples that might explain this fatigue:
-
I have been following this stuff for a LONG TIME, was even following it before I step foot in a gym. The first hardcore book I came across at the age of 10 or so was Supercuts, lying in my uncle’s old room at my grandparents house. Keep in mind I was 10 in 1990. So after reading and viewing what seems to be a truckload of magazines, websites, and books and videos and studying nutrition and exercise phys in school, I don’t come across anything new anymore. And it’s true, because there are only so many damned ways to lift a weight or follow a pattern of eating. There is value in all the information that is currently provided because there are always noobs entering this lifestyle, but after some time, there absolutely NOTHING to read much in detail except to piece together certain holes in training as time goes by. I have yet to see a precontest diet that looked special in anyway and the same goes for training.
-
I don’t find watching people eat food or pictures of meals and training to be entertaining as I once did. Back when I worked at the Musclemag store in Garden City, Long Island, I’d spend my unoccupied afternoons watching video after video and was actually entertained by watching Craig Titus fry a steak and steam rice; Ronnie Coleman bark and moan while slinging 200 pound dumbbells or mumble in between bites of grits and egg whites or barbecued chicken; Flex Wheeler perform lateral raises with 10 pound dumbbells while wearing a striped spandex full-body leotard or slump over a preacher curl machine because of a horrific diet with Charles Glass trying to resuscitate him; Greg Kovacs and Jay Cutler sit down to personal banquets while their women slaved in the background; and so on. At the time, I thought it was THE coolest shit in the world, to watch grown men eat and lift weights. These days I’m not entertained, nor can I provide an FB “like” in response to some guy eating cream of rice and peanut butter or going to Costco and purchasing several pounds of tilapia and frozen vegetables.
-
Much of the stuff put out is flat out ridiculous, unrealistic, or torturous. There’s one former TN contributor who I don’t mind as a person but has made a small fortune who espouses an eating pattern in what seems to ME (I can be wrong in my opinion), a surefire way to develop a horrible relationship with food and combines several eating disorders in one week’s menu: a combination of no food or nearly no food for days (kind of like anorexia), binging/refeeding (kind of like bulemia) and an overemphasis on “clean versus dirty foods” (kind of like orthorexia). Meanwhile, this is unfeasible for most people who don’t want to drive themselves nuts or socially ostracize themselves. Another contributor who has been mentioned here is someone who I like but who seems to ride any new fad-bandwagon that comes out to cash in on the popularity: fasting, blood type, vegan, and so on. After some time, it makes these people appear as charlatans who simply chase money rather than staying with what they really believe in versus what works or what most successful people have shown to work!
Other shit I got tired of (particularly because I work in nutrition myself) are know-it-alls who tell us what we “should eat” and what we are “not meant” to eat (talk of ancient warriors and Cromag and how wheat and HFCS are going to riddle me with every ill known to man or that I should take 20 fish oil capsules doesn’t interest me).
Wendler and Shelby happen to be my two favorites because they do not bother with this mentality and stick to what works and delivering results.
-
I don’t need a “guiding light”. This is eating and exercising. As said above, there’s not much to say after some time. Yet one guy reached near Fuhrer status because he shed some light on less frequent eating and that your muscles won’t atrophy if you skip breakfast or go without food for a day. That was useful, but I never understood how grown men would literally worship someone for that, especially if he’s a self-ingratiating, narcissistic, disrespectful prick.
-
Some of this shit gets downright boring. As much as some shut-ins, including the one described in point 4, provide us with information by shuffling information from studies they found on Pub Med from point A to point B, not much changes in the way of training or eating at all. Again, this is eating and training; after some time, theres nothing to say or be worked over.
Ah… jaded guy in his thirties I became. 
Gotta tell you the truth though: if I could go back in a time machine and spend some time in the days I was watching videos and training and eating and posting all day, I would! Some of the best damn times of my life were doing spent doing stuff like that. If anyone went to Powerhouse on “Franny Lew” (Francis Lewis Boulevard in Bayside, Queens)–and I know for a fact someone here did–you know what I mean. I freaking pine over the days where everything centered around that damn gym and the restaurants, tanning salons, and other businesses in the area–literally people’s entire social lives-and no one had a care in the world/gave a shit! 
Sucks to grow up. A lot of stuff loses its effect.
Wait… did I just ramble and go off topic? LOL!
Well put Brick, I was waiting for a rant on Cybergenics, and how people used to dress funny, but lift real weights in the 80s. Rambling is OK along as it`s interesting.

Good post. I too find that with time and more knowledge, that feeling of excitment fades. Sometimes ignorance is bliss I suppose.
My choices:
Dan John (balances things out with is a lost art in this sport where only extremes are rewarded.)
Dr. Clay (gives you the real deal on bodybuilding development)
Meadows (King of the exercise tweak, keeping you in the game long and progressing)
Dave Tate is a close runner-up as well. CT’s programs are good but I think geared towards more athletic performance than bodybuilding.
I Love Poliquin…though he’s not my Top 3. You just have to take the Quack stuff with the Good… He’s really just Crazy, and doesn’t speak good English anyway.
My Top 2 or even 3 aren’t on this sight. But Dan John is awesome. And Thib knows his shit.

There is only so much to be said but I understand why “coaches” or authors do what they do.
If everything’s already been done before how do you make money off of it?
Re package it, re brand it, spin it or if your Polquin you just completely make things up lol
I don’t agree with it but I understand.
Capitalizing on the ill informed.
I definitely LOL’ed at most of your post.
