We need to get the Alpha Cell up and kicking again… or even roundtable questions.

That I would very much like to see.
And I would like the Unmentionable, dun, dun, duuuuuun, to be a part of it.
If there are disagrements on how to go about it, make it official so that we get to see where you disagree, why you disagree and how it fits into your overall regimen.
Pretty please? [/quote]
If memory serves, you were never admitted to Alpha…[/quote]
So what?
You think I have anything to add what someone like Stu might say?
No, I want people who seriously know their stuff to have a go at it.
I know when to shut up and listen.

Ha ha ha.
Calm down, O!
I was just yanking your chain.
But I DO seem to recall you being rather condescending about the whole Alpha thing…[/quote]
Well, I do not deny the possibility of me having made one or two smartass remarks about just about anything, but I do not really remember any regarding this particular topic. [/quote]
“High school on steroids” as I recall.[/quote]
I’ve recently came back to this site. The last time I was posting here there was 15 year old trolls claiming they competed inPL yet when the great people of this site added up his fabricated numbers and called him out he kept feeding the fire. I really don’t think you should pay much attention to the forums to figure out if you should associate your self with a brand.
I mean there’s all types of idiots at bodybilding.com yet most of the people I know order from the site. What I’m trying to get at is that people who are generally interested in your advice will seek you out no matter what some fruitcakes on the forums are posting.

That section does seem like a popularity contest from what ive skimmed so “high school on roids” seems right
Look at like the first 8 pages and all youll see is “stretch marks” and “hi thanks for the add” and a dude selling tshirts
Lol
Wouldnt be surprised if Lionel Richie got an invite…cuz its easy like sunday morning to get in[/quote]
Well, only PX and Tirib have the keys, and the former turned me down because I didn’t post enough in the “on topic” threads.
Tirib let me in, though, convinced I was a serious trainer.[/quote]
I’ve always had the option to invite people, but whether this is me failing in my ‘duties’ or not, I guess I mostly forgot about it and view the forums as a place where certain posters simply stood out due to their own actions and merit. I never really agreed with the need for an ‘elite’ section. While I understood the premise of trying to separate the whey from the soy, I fear it drove a wedge because some people needed some extra pats on their back.
I could rattle off a bunch of names right now of forum regulars (and those who I truly wish were here more regularly) who I always stop and read what they have to say. Even if I may disagree, I always respect that they’ve intelligently contemplated and arrived at their way of thinking.
Certainly others in here have similar feelings towards the rest of the posters. Similarly, I have my list of those who no matter what they write, I honestly and truly (whether correct or not) have come to the point of believing that they’re trying to either stir sh-t up, or simply disagree so they can stand out and get attention.

True Speak Aragorn, Angry Chicken is spot on as well.
FTR Aragorn and AC should post alot more to get this fucked forum back on track[/quote]
Well thank you sir, I’m glad you like my contributions. I always make a point to read anything you throw out in a training thread–you’re ridiculously beasty now if that profile pic is any indication at all. I’ll make a point to try to post more often, as I’ve been blowing off steam in politics and random topics unlifting related lately. I tend to go in phases, and recently most of my training oriented stuff has been in the Combat and beginner forums.
FWIW, I think as many people in the Beginner forum that DON’T make any use of the painstaking advice we give, there are a lot that might not even post that will read and do take it. A large part of this I think stems from my novice experience coming here when I first started lifting…Prof and others gave me good damned advice that I often listened to (and sometimes was too stubborn for my own damn good until I learned it another way lol)

I have keys as well but I have been sadly shirking my responsibility as life has been taking me for a ride the past year and change or so. I’ll have to apologize.
