I have learned to trust only the trainers who are well known like Cressey and Robertson, and not just any trainer, any article, or any website like T-NATION for example. Not all the training articles are good and they may have incorrect information by some of the authors that post their articles on there. I have learned to be careful of who to trust and get information from and also be careful in giving advice to others based on where I have learned it, who I learned it from, and post a source if there is one. I basicially learned not to believe everything I read because that will get me in trouble, especially if I believe something that is incorrect. I have posted incorrect information in the past from authors/trainers I have read (at t-nation or other sites) and thought the information was correct.
My only advice I have for this thread (have to say only one like the thread says) is if you do not know who the trainer is or the author writing an article and if they are not well known, don't think the information is all correct just because they have a degree. Just because they have a degree in something, does not mean they may know their stuff and the information (maybe not all, but can be some or most) may be incorrect. Just becareful who you trust.
