What Does RSS Stand For?
RSS stands for "Really Simple Syndication" and is simply a format for automatically collecting and distributing text news items to and from your favorite websites.
Simple and spam-free, news headlines and articles can be periodically delivered to you automatically, and you are in total control of your subscriptions - all without clogging your email inbox!

What Is RSS?
RSS, also known as "Really Simple Syndication", is a popular method of sharing information (such as news headlines) without requiring you to sign up to our email notifications or constantly visit our website to see what's new.
Bodybuilding.com's RSS feeds contain headlines, article snippets, and links. This enables you to "preview" each article, then click to view the full article if it's something you're interested in. This service is provided free-of-charge.
Is This Free?
Yes, Bodybuilding.com provides all of these RSS feeds for free. Additionally, many feedreaders are also free to download and use. Some commercial products do charge, but it is absolutely possible (and very common) to handle all your RSS needs for free.
How Do I Read/Subscribe To These Feeds?
Software applications known as "newsreaders", "feedreaders", or "aggregators" can collect, update and display RSS feeds from a wide variety of sources. Additionally, web-based and email-based options are also emerging.
Typically, you can drag and drop the orange XML button (or copy and paste the link) into your feedreader, then click "subscribe". The application will then automatically go fetch the available news, display it to you, and periodically check it for updates. Voila!
Where Can I Get An RSS Reader?
Each feedreader is slightly different, so you may find yourself testing several before picking your favorite. Some are standalone applications, some are web-based, and some are plugins for browsers and email clients.
Here is a short list of some of the more common aggregators, none of which are associated with Bodybuilding.com:

Are RSS And XML The Same Thing?
RSS is a flavor or "brand" of XML. If newsfeeds were cars, then XML would mean "automobile", with RSS meaning "Ford" or "Toyota". Other flavors include RDF, Atom, and OPML. RSS is the most popular for newsfeeds.
Can I Subscribe To All These Feeds Simultaneously?

(32.1 KB)
Yes. While the "All Articles" feed (above, very first one at the top) includes all of our new articles, it doesn't contain the podcasts or the forum thread updates. In addition, some people may prefer to have their news split out into categories.
Therefore, to subscribe to all of our feeds at the same time, you'll need to import our OPML (subscription list) file. (You can always delete unwanted categories and/or specific feeds.)
To do this, right-click and "save target as..." on the OPML button, save it to your computer where you can find it, then import into your feedreader software. Voilà!
