T-Nation Articles

is there some original thread you guys can refer me to where a mod/whoever mentioned SWF being reformulated? News to me. [/quote]

There is a discussion board on the SWF product page, also there is a forum post in the supplement section call “Wtf, No Surge?”

And to Mr. Martian: They are not just restocking it. Its a whole new product with a larger bulk bottle (60% more) and the liquid flavor for it like the Anaconda.

sorry should have read 30-min video, Atomic Dog

That was earlier when they released the training video

2 for 5 in articles and we aren’t even getting SWF until at least next week (according to Mod Brian, check the discussion from the product page). I don’t know what’s going on but I’ve to say, this is quite possibly the worst week ever for the site. I know the whole “but you’re getting the information for free” argument that people throw around, but when you have an expected format for visitors you don’t break from it or you tend to lose people. I’ve even resorted to reading bb.com articles and those are terrible!

Rant Over

Edit: I guess on average over the last couple months they aren’t breaking the 5 a week too much since we were getting articles on Saturday for a bit.

Drama queen?

I don’t know about you, but the change in article frequency this week hasn’t negatively affected my life whatsoever.

Im just hoping it doesnt go the way Figure Athlete did.

does SWF has addictive properties? these are some severe withdrawals. I think the break will be good for you buddy, to clear any residual SWF out of your system.

Yet you’re visiting and commenting on the thread wondering where the articles are? I think that counts as impact in some way or another. I’m just stating that for this site in the last 3 years I’ve been visiting, this is the worst I’ve seen it and there is no indications as to why. It echoes what the original poster has stated and what most people on this site are wondering, what the heck is going on?

I doubt it would … not to put down FA or anything, but I think TMag gets a lot more traffic to justify the continuous article posting than FA did/does.

Look at this way, from what I read: back in the day there used to be an article a WEEK. So thank your lucky stars that we consistently get more than that now.

I suppose there are people out there whose next workout may depend on the new daily article. Gotta keep tweaking their programs to keep the body guessing you know…

I think my tone doesn’t come across correctly, but its more of a “come on we can do better then this” then a “this is the end of the world” tone. I don’t want to see this site go downhill and because of this I’m not afraid to voice my opinion on what is happening. If this is the new trend with 3 a week I accept that, but I just don’t want the site to get sporadic about the articles as this is the first sign that something isn’t working for any website.

And to the above poster, Surge Workout Fuel is addictive because of the workout energy you get. I may be taking a hiatus from it though due to its availability and I’ll have to try something else, another reason I’m wondering what is going on.

So is T-Nation switching to three articles a week now? I’m not complaining, but if that’s the case, I’d appreciate knowing that. It would stop me from refreshing the front page every five minutes and actually get some work done.

Not that I’m obsessive or anything. No sir.

I LOL’ed

Ahhh no article today. I usually wake up and do my morning reading here.

I wouldn’t be mad over 3 articles a week, maybe a little disappointed though. Like Brant Drake, if this were the case, I wish we got a heads up or something.

The # of articles per week used to vary (usually around 4 per week though), and they were all posted on Friday evening. The current format is much better.

True, I believe the number varied from week to week but it was around what you said 3 or 4. And I agree that the current format is much better given the traffic

I’m curious.

What articles? I’m happy as long as they keep updating the Figure Athlete Images.

It seems we’re being cut off to 3 a week. I’m ok with that, as long as the days are consistent (always mon-wed-fri, for example). Like Drake said, I keep refreshing the page hoping for a new article, it’s part of my daily routine. Wake up, eat, shower, go to class, come home, read TMuscle, masturbate to the new TMuscle article, cry (out of joy, not self-pity, that comes later), eat lunch…

:stuck_out_tongue:

yes, the latest figure athlete pics have been stellar
