Really good in article in Mens Health Magazine that cites the source of certain established "facts" and speaks to them:

Here's the intro...

"in a hospital, using outdated information is considered malpractice; in a gym, it's standard operating procedure. Don't believe it? Take a look at today's most sacred lifting guidelines, and you'll find that some originated in the '40s and '50s, a time when castration was a cutting-edge treatment for prostate cancer, and endurance exercise was thought to be harmful to women. What's worse, other, more-recent recommendations regarding exercise form have been negated by new research yet are still commonly prescribed by fitness professionals. 
       
Chances are, these are the same rules you lift by right now. And that means your workout is long past due for a 21st-century overhaul. Keep in mind, I'm not suggesting that your current plan doesn't work. After all, at its most basic level, building muscle is simple: Pick up a heavy weight, put it down, repeat. But improve the details and avoid mistakes, and you'll build more muscle in less time, with less risk of injury. Put a check next to today's date—it marks the official expiration of your old workout."
