So I have been visiting around to some of the bigger forums just observing some things. And I find that what they have is almost no different than what ABC BB has. But there are a few. ABC is all about the training..nothing wrong there..its great. However most people on these other forums seem to be lurking in the supplement reviews/sections/logs. One i viewed had approximately 153 people viewing the supplement section at a given time. 153 people! And so as everyone knows most people put to much faith in supplements and not in their training. ABC is a complete opposite, which as we all know... is excellent. That's why we're here! However if supplements are attracting people to forums, we have to be pushing our training! I have already talked to a few people on other forums just because i get so pissed off at how rude people are on the other forums. People with a bachelors in science touting that they know all about bodybuilding science. The people that have been somewhat upset with it I have told to check out ABC and they have! We have people here better, nicer, and more willing to help than any sight out there. and i believe that. So...to end my rant i guess we just need to try hard to start getting our name out there..because we are the best forum out there!

uh dont get me started on this todays crazy day deadlift 1 rpm max once an hour for 6 sessions a bloke with a few degrees, personal trainer cert, nutrition cert and a few body science things (wasnt listening after three qualifications in) dared...... to mock my cooler (oats, tuna, veg, pre mixed shakes of whey, beta-alanine,creatine, oats (other had honey)) then tell me my form is rubbish and i'll never get anywhere training how i train.
i will apologise for the next bit (bad day anniversary of sisters death and family are doing the whole ignoring it thing)
i got ready to lift(this is where he started about why he is right and i'm wrong) and sadly blew a fuse, i picked up 505lb clean slammed it down grabbed him and told him 'now tell me your right *****'

like i said i will apologise tommorow but i HATE idiots who think an exam makes you god

an observation i have noticed on other forums is the 'fear factor' mods on certain sites are told to leave and not give infractions or bans to poplular members in case it causes unrest

Yeah I have experienced this also Klosey.......people who take some certification test try and tell me things that they have no experience in and think that I am doing things wrong in my diet because they have read something else. drives me nuts. as for other sites. I quit going to them just because of the irritation and the contradicting information. I know when i log on at abc I will get opinions some may differ but all in all its the same base of information and its logical and good. other websites are borderline BB mags.

plus, gotta give props to the Christian foundation this website is built on. that is what drew me in, and I believe, quite a few others.
I mentioned the website at my powerlifting comp, I will try to get the ABC name out there when I can.

We have some very good people here, but I do like the partition between the spiritual so that it isn't overpowering in any way. We have many christians and non-christians alike here and I have never seen even the remotest sense of animosity for anyone. So rarely (aka never) have I seen such a venue for the exchange of thought and a forum for discussion and advice.
