Anyone here ever go to the training board?

[WalkingBeast]

So to this end - we now have a "Training Board" and a "Powerlfiting Board". Stopping short of bitch slaps, the mods now have to help steer threads to the appropriate board, along with members' questions.

Part of the problem is that "Training" covers such a broad topic on that forum - bodybuilding, strongman, olympic lifter, cardio (which we all know is just a bunch of b.s. anyways - ) - that members get confused by something outside their comfort zone. And I suspect some mods might feel the same way. After all how many people know or understand the olympic lifts (snatch, clean and jerk) - if at all?

It is for the best that some of this dirty laundry is getting aired and everyone knows what is trying to be accomplished for the good of the board.

I agree brother. It can be difficult to split the powerlifting and training information apart, since weight training covers powerlifting as well as bodybuilding. Im not sure if there should be a stricter seperation between the two. As for olympic lifts, theres not even a forum for that yet, and if there is its small. A structure has to be put in motion and enforced if the seperation will work. I have no problem moving the powerlifting information into the PL forum, but as you know there are different posters who frequent each forum, and some may not like this. Itll promote more communication between members who wouldnt normally talk to eachother, but that may not be a good thing. Alot to think about though.

i think the reppetitiveness is the worst problem
the same question over and over gets old quick

and sugarplum, i dont think gender has anthing to do with it, i saw some very good advice form you on there

Agreed. As for sugar plum, I think she contributes more then many of the members on the training forum. Always has solid advice.

I think we should bring powerlifting back to general training

Part of what used to make it good was all the hardcore PL-types

I posted a sticky on the training board for anyone that would like to offer their ideas on how to improve the board. I would love to see a lot more people involved with it.

That's most unfortunate.

I think it would be too easy to place all the blame with mods.

If you want those board sto function differently/better and you have ideas as to how to do it or what you would like to see done to improve the boards...

POST IT!

I will be (I'm sure other mods would too) your and whomever is willing to set forth their ideas personal collecter of ideas and nagger to try and see thos idea through.

Ready, set, GO.

No takers huh.


Talk the talk, but no walkie, walkie.

Here's one. Tell GS to open up the fucking search function so newbies don't have to keep asking the same questions over and over again because they can't search.
We already know the answer to this which is why I didn't bring it up before.

Makes sense.
Assume nothing, bring up everything.



I've done the search while not being signed in and it was rather horrific.
