I’m definitely going to my bids in for Bauer97 and New Damage. Those guys were awesome. Bauer’s thread was a really interesting read, hearing about what he went through in college and his type of training.
New Damage actually helped me out a bit early on, and I still take heed to what he told me then. Too bad he’s no longer around.
I also remember a guy named Tankman or something. He was around for a bit, and then I think something happened in SAMA or something and he has been MIA as far as I know. That guy sprinkled good nuggets around the BB section when he did post.
Finally, I see him every once in a while but Buff’d Samurai. The guy is well-spoken and very knowledgable… and he use to have an avi of him up that was fucking ridiculous.

x2 on Alpha. The guy’s work ethic was otherworldly and his build reflected it.
(No, that’s not a recent vid. Everything on his channel is 2+ years old, but I thought I heard somewhere that he’s still doing well.)

This dude was one bad motherfucker. Not to mention being a Spec Ops guy to boot. Glad to hear he’s doing well, often wondered about him. A huge influence on my training.

Forreal. This guy really taught me to push my boundaries, and question what is and isn’t possible, and to question common beliefs. He was the complete package.
DH in the “My Experience on the Anabolic Diet Thread” was instrumental in helping me maximize my usage of “cyclical” low carb diets! He helped many people and it’s was one of the largest running threads that I can remember.
Oh, and Modok, Caveman, Alpha… honestly there are many people I could list.
Just out of curiosity, are those of you picking ceph carnage most impressed by his knowledge? As others have said, I’m not sure I’ve ever seen a picture or video of him.
Mike Jenkins is probably and literally the most impressive person on this site. I mean a multiple WSM competitor and the ability to press a 500lb log overhead? I think that overshadows the physique of anyone on here unless you’re a top IFBB competitor. But then again, maybe I’m just being stupid.

I mean, Stu is a professional in multiple natural federations, and Curry was on the Olympia stage last year, so there are other dudes near the top of their game’s as well.

Mike is the only one to take first place at the Arnold. I’m eager to see how he does at WSM this year. I totally forgot he was even on this site, although I don’t know if I’d really count him since I think his stint here was very brief.
Prisoner, Zraw for a young guy he has some potential, Bushido always hads great info and personally helped me, as much as it pains me and we clearly had our disagreements Meat Muarader I have to give you props very strong guy.
