The best article I found on this was "Everything You Know About Fitness Is A Lie" [1]
I'd summarize the contents as:
1- Most gyms are 45% cardio, 45% stretching 10% weights. This is bad.
2- You need to lift heavy things.
3- There are no shortcuts.
Favorite excerpt:
My conversion moment came in a garage-like industrial space next to an ATV rental yard in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. I was lying on a concrete floor, near puking, having just humiliated myself on the king of all strength exercises, the old-school back squat. "The best thing I can do for an athlete," coach Rob Shaul said to me as I struggled to get up, "is to make him strong. Strength is king, and you're fucking little-girl weak."
