Most of the people Ive met who talk about T-Nation are really small. I do not tell them who I am though. I do listen to them talk about “rachet loading” and ramping, among other things. It is weird to see. But, then again, everyone who posts here isnt a serious lifter. This is a free site and it is very popular. Typing in bicep workout in google will lead you to bb.com or here usually…
This is a site FOR recreational lifters. The internet in general is for the recreational lifter. I will bet most of the dudes here got big or strong…lean or whatever their ideal is by watching people in gyms…not typing on a forum.
I havent read an article or training related post here in a long time. I dont need to, I hire trainers or just hook up with the big boys in my gym if I want progress.
I’m sure the authors know who reads this site and in my opinion that is the crowd they want…the spenders, not the guys who meet their nutritional needs daily with food and do not rely on supplements…
ehhhh just rambling

Good point. In other news, I shaved my balls today.

Even when I’m the obnoxious doucher that gives unsolicited advice to kids deadlifting their way into traction, I’ve not had anyone not at least act appreciative to my face.
Although I have had one kid tell me after that he was doing “romain deadlifts” to which I answered that your back doesn’t round on those either, but that is about it.
Outside of the staff all my gym interactions have been good, well for the most part.

In the past couple of days I’ve had 4 different guys approach me and ask me if I knew about T-Nation/Biotest supplements.
Initially I thought this was pretty cool, but now that I think about it, these were all untrained-looking 130-150 lb dudes.
I guess they read the site but don’t actually train? Why were they interested in the proteins then?
Now I’m thinking about all the members on here who talk shit but don’t put any pictures up… they probably fit the same fucking bill.
Damn. WTF. I didn’t think of TNation as a “secret” or anything like that but come on, at least hit the damn gym. No, walking past one doesn’t count.
PS: If one of you guys are reading this (NYC), put some weight on before you come see me again, or I will publicly humiliate you.[/quote]
4 guys came up to you and asked you about specifically Biotest supps, were you wearing a T-Nation shirt? I dont understand why somebody would specifically target you about a specific brand of supps?
Whats the elitist attitude for? I train in a commercial gym in NYC and if someone ever asks something w regards to training or whatever I simply am pleasant and try to help, instead of being so angry maybe try to kill em with kindness.
Actually stop trying to be a bully before one of these 130 lbs kids ends up humiliating you.
A lot of butthurt going on here huh? Touched a nerve with some of you pencilnecks - exactly what I’m talking about… At least TC gets the drift, shit.
Matty: Wheres the elitist attitude? I’m pleasant and try to help people all the time, really don’t know what your saying here… I’m glad you try to help people too.
Just so we are clear: These aren’t 130 lb “kids”. These are guys in their 20’s I’m talking about.
I get along fine with the “daddy got this” crowd, except the ones who don’t care about what their mother wants.

Normally I’d say this makes sense, but in my case I get complimented regularly… I’m starting to understand where they are coming from though.

most of the targeted market-share by T-Nation are skinny douches who want the magic pills that T-Nation makes, the small percentage of serious people on this site isn’t what’s going to make a huge profit.

This is pretty elitist
Also I have seen you post a few things in the PL forum, and you come off as a douche…
One time you thought people should get hurt for DLing incorrectly…I took offense because I have an issue with my DL’s especially with not getting the slack out of the bar, which is what you were alluding to. So you wished injury on me. I dont wish injury on anybody.
Another time you basically stated in the race to a 225 OH press you called lifters “queers” for doing seated DB or BB OH presses. In that same thread you said you want to see beltless pressers. Lets see, I used a belt in hitting my 225 MP and always do seated DB OH presses…so to you Im a queer. You indirectly insulted me which whether on a internet forum or IRL I will get butthurt over or whatever you call it.
Then weren’t you looking for a hardcore place to workout in NYC?..That is a thread I remember as well, and again you came off as an elitist douche.
I dont know you, true, but what I could surmise from the few Threads that I have seen you post in, is that your simply a dick.
I could also give a fuck what TC thinks.
I guess you could say your posts that I have read have struck a nerve because you have insulted me.

At least you make sense and explain yourself. My bad if I insulted/annoyed/upset you, obviously wasn’t my intention.

Dude, seriously? I didn’t even post in this thread until now.
I will say we all know there are people on this site who can quote every article ever written but who lift like old women.
I also wouldn’t insult someone for asking me for advice…but I would also not go all out to help someone who clearly wasn’t serious.
Yes, there are people out there who will argue they know it all because of what they read in spite of little progress. I just doubt they are wasting time arguing with people way bigger than them…or that the bigger lifter would care to argue back face to face.
