Title is self-explanatory. I don't like overloading with info, as the latest claims so often change, but this is more of a professional interest for generating content for clients.
What sites do you follow for the latest studies and findings?

Vaun, is there nothing to be said for the advice or information from those who actually walk the walk i.e fitness advice from current or former athletes?
I say this because I've gained significant results from reading literature from current/former athletes or listening to swole juiced AND juice-free guys at the gym.
There always seems to be a group of people who discredit findings versus another group who are living examples.
It's akin to taking game advice from someone who has never gone out and put in any type of graft.
For instance, you have some fat doctor who cannot do more than 6 girl push-ups that will claim that there are no benefits in increasing protein intake when weight lifting.

Clarence Bass. He's the old dude who wrote those Ripped books. His ugly, circa 1997 website could use an update, but his articles are research based.

I quit reading as much and just try the scientific method. Come up with a guess, try it out to the extent that it ought to work, think about it for a while, then discard whatever I don't want.
I would guess that most clients demand programs that their coach has actually used.

Juggernaut Training Systems
Bret Contreras
The latter has a strength & conditioning research review site.
I follow some more, but they don't update frequently. Have tons of books and DVDs as well, I really like Pavel Tsatouline's stuff.
There's very little quality research done in strength training though (sample size too small and controls are rubbish in most cases), but general fitness should have way more.

Chaos and Pain, it's author Jamie Lewis holds world records at 181 lbs in power lifting and goes against the grain of many modern training principals. The overwhelming theme of the site is go in the gym pick up something heavy and make something happen. It's a refreshing change from a lot of fitness gurus of today who spend so long talking about form, programming, frequency etc. that they never get around to actually lifting weights
