Guys like Pete or Eco aren’t going to be posting anywhere else but their logs.
This list is great but the best thing that someone can do is to just go through the logs and read the training. In fact that should probably be mandatory for anyone before posting up because there is a wealth of knowledge to be found in these logs and if you’re looking for some of these folks to post up in another section you’re going to be waiting a long time.
CanadaK had a GREAT transformation and recently competed although he doesn’t post anymore. So did Colin Wilson and he only keeps a log.

I didnt realize CanadaK had a blog over here. I followed his transformation on the PrecisionNutrition Site. It was quite a read.

Hi mr popular, thanks for visiting!
Your “Best of T-Nation” thread was one of my first starting points here, and it helped me an awful lot to put my short & medium term goals in perspective.
As a member of the over 50 club, I tend to look for lifters in my age group and check out what they do. While searching I found the training log of Charles Staley, who also is a contributer to T-Nation. Even if I myself haven’t been around long enough to judge anything, to me this man seems almost “diabolical” in his precise, organized progressions to achieve measurable goals. He also has lots of really good videos in his log.
I think that a beginner (especially power/oly lifters) could only profit from his wisdom, and clear structured workouts. If you’d like to link his log in the best of, here it is:
or you can just leave it here in this beginner help thread, and I’ll add him to my list.[/quote]
Although that thread is definitely inspirational because of his age, I’m not sure it belongs in the sticky alongside Professor X and Waylander, etc. It doesn’t represent the biggest/strongest on the forums, but props to him anyway.
If anyone else has links to any other threads about the biggest and strongest guys on T-Nation that aren’t in the sticky yet, post them here or PM me.
I think this is a good thread by the way, and I believe T-Nation could do well following in the example of some other websites that rank members based on experience or helpfulness (even though I’m doubtful we will ever see this in the future).

This thread is not sticky material, but just a loose list of members who have earned respect from their peers.
I’m in the middle of moving right now and will update the list when I get a little free time.
Sure could use a couple of you powerlifters right now…
I second Caveman101
Edit - third*
Guy’s strong, nice dude, and knows what works for him - so sticks with it instead of switching up his training all the time - if more people did this, there’d be fewer retarded questions posted in these forums.

OHHH…How ignorant of me. I just assumed with a resume like that he might be pretty knowledgeable. But since hes not swole that makes his knowledge and experience along with the fact training people is his career meaning less.
Staley has a ton of amazing articles in the archive, unfortunately he doesnt really go into the forums here much.
