Whatever happened to Scrawny to Brawny? I feel like it completely fell out of favor and all anyone recommends now is New Rules of Lifting. Did I miss something?

However, I must say NROL did have tons of good info in it...
It has good info for people who are new or have listen to gym bros for too long.
However, to attack Frank's poke at books, let's keep in mind, not everyone is a competing lifting athlete. Some, like myself and Mahler, do this to minimize the effects of the years, that include fat gain. weakened musculature, ligaments, tendons, bones, etc. And even us "weekend warriors" in athletics don't require such targeted training.
In such cases, a book that is generalized is perfectly fine until such time it is discovered that there may be a significant problem that needs to be addressed, such as lateral imbalances or spinal injury, and even in the case of lateral imbalance, the prescription is unilateral work, which NROL utilizes in almost every workout.
I think S2B is out of favor because Berardi abandoned support for it here. Otherwise, it's still a good book, nothing wrong with it.

NROL has a proven track record. Read that as "it works." Not every program works for everyone. Nor does any program work forever, but there is sufficient variety in NROL to warrant its popularity and keep it on top for awhile. Add to that that the workouts are actually challenging and NOT geared toward the fitness enthusiast or weekend warrior. You are treated as a lifter from the very first break-in workout.
