And you can get real answers from lifters who know what the hell they are talking about.......rather than a 150 lb newbie answering your questions. Furthermore, you will get honest answers to your training.......rather than "good work bro", "everyone is different", blah blah blah. Aside from newbies coming on here and asking about supplements or streoids and getting flamed for it, you rarely see constructive criticism on this board.

Just look at the dump area -- 26k freaking posts! Wow. Or look at the entire General Area -- nearly 35k posts! Almost as much as the rest of the damn board.

You all can disagree with me all you want, and I am not interested in arguing - but this is the answer to your question.

Another point - for the size of this board (# of members), there is a very small amount that keep training journals........IMO, that is the best place to learn about better training.

I agree. There are other boards out there that seem much more constructive and more informative. This is a more personal board with much fewer members which is a plus. However, most people giving advice here are newbs or even not in the greatest of shape. There are very few on here who are really educated enough to be giving opinions on some things. I think if everyone posted pictures up, you'd be shocked by who your getting advice from. I find myself in better shape then many of the proclaimed information greats on this board. Either way, I like this board for discussion, but for advice and information i've been going elsewhere. I think this is s agreat board to start with, but once you hit a certain time frame it just gets too repetitive. Maybe a revamping is in order. More categories, and even better....company sponsors like AM. I really like how you have supp companys over there and even manufacturers.
