this site sucks now

^^^ i didn't have a problem with his post until the last couple paragraphs when he said the moderators are shills for sponsors. that is where he ran into a bannable offense. just a 1 day timeout, he can come back and make amends for himself if he wants, otherwise he can just be perma'd if he wants to continue spreading santorum froth on the boards like this.

Agreed! The part about the shills got him. Otherwise I would have really liked to have a genuine debate on some of his points.

I agree with that as I get nothing for my sig--I just like the stuff. His posts in other forums are really good--I can understand why he may think the way he does about some things--endurance guys do not get the "diet" part b/c BF is not an issue--calories are--the more the merrier.

but having endurance guys is a big part of gear use and the general public--and a fair number of bros on here---have no idea that it's not just about BB--so many bros who use gear have their own reasons and that's healthy for the site--some bros give me shit for being a cyclist but they just make me laugh

^^ his post is a classic "i'm having a bad day so let me throw a hissyfit and get banned" type post. we had one yesterday too and the poster got banned for a day, man'ed up and apologized to me and the board personally, and is posting again like nothing happened.

his past posts are good like you said, so not sure why he decided to do this out of nowhere and attack the mods and sponsors.. silly cause we have the best sponsors with the best products and fastest shipping anywhere, so if he would rather shop at GNC or another online store and get inferior products that take 2 weeks to deliver that is up to him.

Variety to me brings so much to the table in my opinion. Just because you are a cyclist and I am a body builder doesn't mean we can't learn from each other.

different opinions are great.. cycling for different reasons/goals are great.. but we have to respect and trust the posters here.

Here's the deal -- if someone is genuinely looking for info, I don't like being so quick to ban or close threads. BUT, people have to know that there is a decorum to follow. I don't even mind a good argument now and then but mindless bitching, insults and pointless complaints will not fly for long.

And now -- a word from our sponsors.

Here's the deal.

All sites need sponsors to survive. Name one bodybuilding site that doesn't sell supplements.

But here's the catch -- here we actually design supplements for guys who juice. That makes them very special. The only other site that does that is T-Nation, but most of their their supplements suck and the one's that are decent are just weaker versions of what we sell here at half the price. So, you'd be an idiot not to shop here. But hey, to each his own.

As for protein, yeah, you can get cheap protein elsewhere, but supporting the site just helps us provide a service.

Now here's another astounding bit of information. You don't to buy anything. Your loss.

Ya know, this ain't Weider or Muscletech. We can't hire stars and pros to endorse the products. You know what we have? Guys who use them. Real bodybuilders. And they know the stuff works. If it didn't , they'd say so.

They know. You don't. So don't get on a bitchfest about shit you know nothing about and we're all good. Cool?

I agree and I am a reformed BB (meaning I did not have the discipline for things like diet, symmetry, form) but took gear in enough quantities to have learned.

The last five or six years I learned more about gear by "playing" with it--see what worked and how it worked--and I can tell you, the professional endurance athletes may use gear sparingly in a certain way but it's use is rampant among the weekend warriors (like me)in their 30s-40s.

What I disagree with the poster about is the statement that BBs are not athletes--we all are--just with different goals--hill intervals are just a form of HIIT--build-up phase is just akin to building a solid base of off cycle work to take the next step; hell short sprints and power lifting is so close physiologically it's funny

Wow.....I think the OP might be on Tren?

Seriously though, there is a much better way of handling things and debating his stance on using performance enhancing drugs as well as his opinions of this forum and its mods than the way he chose to handle it. All the maids here are great people that are open to discussion, but don't go expecting much if you bash the members, the mods, the board, and the sponsors!
