Any input....

[mekannik]

another idea is to take a look at the stickys. do we really need the "kill the shit" sticky? there was a WSB template thread started by illuminati - that would be a good thing to sticky or add to the training vault (i don't if that's possible since it's already locked).

exactly. take that piece of crap "kill that shit" sticky down and get something fresh and timely to put in its place. Maybe along the lines of "Be really RUDE to that SHIIIT!!!1!".


just a suggestion.

Less POLLS.

And the KTS sticky is a headstone of this board, you can't move it.

I PM'ed stilleto about the polls today and he told me he would get on it tonight.

I also told stilleto about the sticky's.

It would be nice if the Mods were more active here. Post some sample programs (I started a 2-day split of your Old School last week!!). Nothing against Madcow's 5x5, but it would be nice for us newbies to see other things.

HST? What is it? Sample program?? (Yes, I know about the plat search feature).

We need sticky's that are useful. A member can post a request for action in a sticky at the top of the page and the Mod can just check the sticky daily. Or, Mods need to be more active in here.

Rewards need to be offered to long time members that consistently contribute in here as well.

Like the others said, maybe more helpful stickies. Good articles, a sticky of video hosting sites for people who want others to critique their lifts, etc. I'm aware that these threads would have to be made first but you get the point, more helpful training shit and less killing of it.

What about a featured "lift" (freeweight/cable exercise) of the month?

Example:

Create a thread about Box Squats. What is it? Why is it important to add these to your routine? Maybe the hype around it is wrong. People can post what they think about this lift. Love it? Hate? Is it overrated?

Is that corny?

Re: sticky. I posted a thread a while back about the need for a revamp of the stickies, starting with KILLING THAT STICKY. I haven't forgotten about it and will put something together after the end of the semester, if nobody beats me to it. Feel free bump that old thread or start a new one with suggestions of what you'd like to see.

Yes. Although I must admit I subscribe to T-Nation's weekly email solely for the amusement of seeing the contrived crap they come up with for the exercise of the week.

LOL, I'm sorry. It was just a thought. A way for people new to lifting to learn about new exercises

Sorry if the response to the exercise suggestion was a bit abrupt, there should have been some sort of smiley after "yes."

Jokes every month being squat month on this forum aside, most lifters, and new ones especially, would be best served by just focusing on basic compound movements.
