Please Scroll Down to See Forums Below So I thought I'd check out the training forum to see what it's all about and post a little question. OMG did I get pissed off! I came across this thread by needsize titled "some thoughts on the training forum." These guys have no idea the vast knowledge that a lot of you have here. Check it out if you get a chance.

First of all, needsize is a good guy. Second, I think you missed the fact that several posters in that thread made it a point say that the were not dissing the Anabolic Discussion Board as an entity. Third, in keeping with a theme from that post, I think its safe to say that a good deal of those who frequent the anabolic board only DO focus too much on gear while putting only a fraction of that same time and energy into training or diet.
In defense for some of us who frequent the anabolic board yet rarely visit the other boards - some of us have our diets and training down just fine, some of us log onto the anabolic board because its the "fastest reacting" board here which routinely discusses topics which we want to discuss, some of us only come here because this is the most open board on a wide variety of bodybuilding subjects here ("A forum for anything related to bodybuilding"), etc., etc.

Well said....I had a response similar to that to a post from someone saying those that frequent this board should concentrate on diet and training and not drugs.....Many of us have our diets and training down to a "t" and frankly I learn much more over here.....

Here's what was said that really got me going.....
"Ingram, it seems that most steriod users concentrate on drugs rather then their training and diet. Thats all they ever seem to want to talk about. If they spent half as much time on their training as they did figuring out their next cycle, I think they would be way better off. "
And my response:
That's complete bullshit.....many AAS users (myself included) have been traing for many years and most know what the hell we are doing in and out of the gym, training and diet included....drugs only take you so far, if you don't have the diet and training regimen the drugs won't do shit for you......Most of us have other things do and my limited time spent here is on the Anabolic board because that's where I learn the most.......

I see your point gilly. That's like saying most bodybuilders don't think much beyond "lift weight, get big." We all know there is much more to it than that.

Bro, you definitely misread that thread and what it was intended for. My point in posting it was to point out how great of a forum it is, almost no flames (you see them daily on here) and most of the uys are there to learn as well as help. I made the point that I would love to see some of the huge bastards from this forum(ie, bouncer, quadsweep, and all the other competitors) come over to the training forum to share their insite. Obviously those guys aren't there looking for advice, but to get where they are they have to know their shit, and where else can I go to talk to an npc competitor about training, certainly not my gym.
i do also think the point about a lot of the guys here only care about what drugs will make them huge, not about training, is a valid point. By no means is that indicative of every bro on the anabolic forum, but there are a shitload of kids that hang out here, want to look like Arnold, but are too fuckin lazy and impatient to put in any natural training first!

Re: Re: Re: training forum
anyone going to the nationals doesn't need props, but you gotta give them where they're due!!
The funny thing about this thread is that when you offered to help me, I was thinking more about training, nutrition, and contest prep, gear barely entered my mind!

Re: Re: Re: Re: training forum
just posted the thread about the oak over at the training board.needsize said:
Hi needsize. I in no way meant anything negative about you or your post. I enjoyed it and understood the point completely. I only disagreed with some responses (that had nothing to do with your post), and feared that most of that board felt that way. Anyway, sorry if my post was misunderstood.

Guys, I posted on that thread. There are a few clean freaks over there who are like annoying bible thumpers who just have to try and put everyone who juices down.
I made this point over there and I will see what you guys think. It seems like people go where they are comfortable, and the regulars here are obviously comfy here. Also, most of the guys here are either competitive or aspire to be so. No reason for juicers to go somewhere thew will get shit on for their choice to use.
I like the point someone made about there is no reason for the guys on this board to go to the training forum becuase they have their training and diet in order. I think this is a great point. I myself rarely post on this board, becuase I have my juice situation down.
I know what works for me in that regard, and although I might read occasionally over here, there is just so many ways you can say "I like test and deca"
Just realize that there are some good bros over on the training board. I give more advice than average, and rarely start a thread, but I have been lifting for a long time, and have made some pretty impressive gains. I try and help out the newbies who really want to learn, and it would be nice if some of the monsters from this board would do the same.
I am not a bodybuilder, I am a competitive powerlifter, and can and do give advice on how to gain strength, but often cannot answer some of the genuine bodybuilder questions posted. Your help would genuinely be appreciated by some if not most of the posters there.
And I agree wholeheartedly with the notion that there are a lot of people over there and everywhere for that matter who are horribly uneducated on juice.

Re: Re: training forum
I do believe there is some merit to the claim that some on the Anabolic forum think of drugs first and training second, actually more then a few.
There are also members on the A board that have been training for over a decade and have talked weight training to death<me>. I'm personally am bored with that and find drug talk more interesting. Mostly because it've only been involved with drugs the past few years and it's still somewhat new to me, at least compared training talk, I do that at the gym.
Point is there is no one type of member on either the training or anabolic forum. We got all types here.
