I think that everyone welcomes opinions...especially those from large amounts of research and experience.

I was thinking about this forum today, so bear with me if it comes out a little jumbled.

We have a great forum here. The regular crowd that hangs here is knowlegable, but at the same time willing to learn from others, a rare combo. There is kind of a clique here, but I don't know that it is a negative thing. On that chat board, there is a clique of the regulars that don't seem very friendly to newcomers or people that don't think the same way as thier "cool crowd" does. I find it different here, as membership to the clique is open to anyone who either demonstrates aquired knowlege about the game, and/or comes here willing to learn (we all had to start somewhere and no one knows it all).

Moderation on this forum in kind of a new thing, but for the most part, not necessary as it's a good group of people that hang here, that also watches out for those that come here to learn. So when asswipes drift over from other forums, they either got with the program, why we're all here, or they found themselves pretty unwelcome.

This karama thing; I'm no karma whore, frankly I could care less. But I noticed that with some exceptions (ie, corn), the people with the most karma are the ones that contribute the least amount of useful info to elite as a whole. Why not use it the way it was meant to be, and when someone posts a good point here, even if you don't agree with it, throw some karma at them for sharing their info.

great post.

yeah bro this training section is awesome, alot of commeradere. I honestly wish i could meet people like you in the "real world" some of you fuckers motivate the shit outta, whether by posting pics or dedication wise.

Sometimes when i feel isolated from the rest of the population due to my goals and such, coming here definatly helps ease the stress, knowing that people go through all the media/society bullshit that you do.

again great thread NS.

Heh, maybe...

Bottom line is it'd be nice to have more people in here sharing info.

I am a regular over at bodybuilding.com where there is far greater comeraderie between board members which leads to more useful and productive discussion. Sure, it's a far more bodybuilding specific site than Elite, but there is just too much bitching going on here, particularly involving steroid vs natural conflicts.

I don't use steroids myslef, but i do get turned off somewhat by the explicit and implicit reference to steroids that pervade this whole discussion board, therefore i don't get as involved in the training forum as i would like to.

Having said that, i am willing to support any attempt at making the training board a more useful and valuable exchange of information.

Who are you directiing those comments to?

That was for gilly6993. If he means to say that merely using steroids has no effect on your muscles (bigger and stronger) unless you have some specific training and diet regimen he has no idea what he´s talking about. I know very little about steroids but even I know this fact. IT´S NO SECRET.

I don't think that anyone is doubting you on this issue at all. I don't think that he meant it that way either...

the problem with aurelius's comments is, the users whom he WAS referring to ignore him, and the users whom he WASN'T referring to take offense.

I think joker has the best reasoning here, they don't really talk about training because their training is sound. for the most part, the guys at the anabolic board have been training a long time, and don't need to go back and talk about training all the time.

aurelius, I may have misunderstood your comments, but muscles don't grow by themselves. different roids do different things, but they don't magically double your bench or triple your bicep size without the necessary diet and training. IMO they just allow you to push yourself harder after you've got the aformentioned under control.

just my 0.02$
