Been feeling bored too. Don’t think I’ll ever leave permanently, maybe just take breaks here and there. It’ll also probably “just happen,” I don’t think I’ll really make a conscious decision to. I’d hope you wouldn’t leave permanently though! One of my favorite posters on here, and I’m sure many others feel the same.
Sorry to hijack😅
T Nation forums have probably been my closest “community” ( besides family) since I joined. It’d be very sad to see it crumble
I’ve basically stopped checking any sections aside from the training logs now. Sometimes I occasionally see what’s going on in the Jim Wendler section, and maybe the Tactical Life (but even that’s getting too “rah-rah ‘Murcia” for my tastes lately). Other than that, it’s really uninteresting.
Tbh, I kind of miss the “train wreck”threads
These are honestly crucial to the forum experience. Everyone misses one til we get one. That meth guy was pretty depressing. But then we have awesome threads, like the one that gave me one of my favorite memes ever - didn’t even have to make it, it was already there for the grabbing:
My personal favourite was the “help girlfriend fix metabolism one” ![]()
That one was pretty fucked up, but the guy did turn out to be a troll who makes up all sorts of stories on different forums, so I guess it wasn’t so bad. Still doesn’t hold a torch to the calisthenics kid or the one where someone (who’s still on here I think) posted their fb message conversation with a girl they were interested in - part of me died of embarrassment that day and never came back.
Damn it! I missed that
The greenboy sagas were pretty epic in their own right.
banned until 3020!
The time he sent “proof” to @emilyq’s email was epic.
“My” avatar was inspired by that “proof”, just sayin’.
Oh shit it was, wasn’t it.
Did you not briefly have an avatar of your actual self before switching to this one?
Yeah, the cliche half-nekkid front shot (posted that in one of the check in threads because I
was giving Anna snarky advice, so had to show that I actually “work out”) I’m old, looking at myself like that every time I post was not my cuppa tea.
Hey! At least tag me when dishing out snark ![]()
You were ancillary…to my point, at best…
As I recall, you did look like you worked out. Outside of here I don’t much pay attention to people’s level of fitness besides those in extremes, but a proof of life combined with a solid physique always gets some respect from me on here. If Greenboy had been able to prove he was a bulkier flipcollar he’d probably have had an easier time here.
LOL. Taking out the “alpha” to put make yourself king of the sandbox is a strategy that only works if you actually do it…LOLLL! I think his YT “mentors” might’ve left that part out.
If this site did not exist, and I only lived in the “real world”, I’d be satisfied with a lot less. Gift, or curse…?
Neither. Definitely not a curse to maintain a healthy body, but saying ‘gift’ implies it fell into your lap. It’s just called results.
I do the same. I think for the most part we all have a pretty fair idea on how to train, so the real value for the site for me is just a bit of community with like minded people which comes almost entirely in the training logs section.
