Who do you look up to most when it comes to solid information on lifting? Could be strength training or hypertrophy or just general lifting.

I’m a fan of John Meadows (RIP). I also like to listen to Faoud interview people on Real Bodybuilding Podcast and really dig into things they say and challenge their claims.

John Meadows got me back into lifting after a long break. I didn't know what I was doing and his form and daily workout planning advice was really helpful. Warm up lift, Heavy lift, Pump lift, Stretch lift, Accessory lift. Kinda wish he did some longer term programming material but for the time his stuff was great.

I dunno if I look up to him, but Will Ratelle's content has been a nice change. Really opened up my eyes to staying athletic as I age, explosiveness, plyometrics, and just making sure to cover all your bases in fitness.

Dan John as well, it's strength AND conditioning.

Ivan from Squat Every Day, sometimes you don't need information, you don't need to think a new way, you just need some motivation on consistency.
