So what was it....

I, like many, was searching information on a product, which let's just say falls into a grey area as far legality. I never used a forum,blog or chat room until this one, and will never us another.

Samething. Never used a forum or chat or blog until this site. Any other forum I have been apart of since, doesn't compare in atmosphere.

The first site I found sucked so bad, but I didn't know it until I came here.

I'd been to some of the other sites but I found the lay out of them to be too broad and messy...then I came to IM and loved the minimalist approach to the sections. I could find where my info would be much faster and searches turned up some really great info from Dr. Pain, W8lifter, Jodi, Mudge and the rest of the crew who really built the foundation of this site....I also loved the laid back atmosphere of Open Chat...

I never even knew bodybuilding forums existed, but I would search for articles on related subjects, and it brought me to the worst fucking site evaaaar, and I didn't even know it was bad until I came to this one. I started searching for a new one, when the one that I was at was so slow, like 1 post a day, lol. Thank God I found this site

I stumbled across it by Googling something. I forgot exactly what. It wasn't even the first choice, but this place just seemed alot better. I liked it so much here I even became an Elite Member. Woot woot.

yeh, i did a Google search as well and I think this site came up 5th or 6th but the other sites didnt even measure up to this one. I had no idea how important nutrition was to building muscle until I found IM.

The filthy, filthy porn.

Posted by: tucker01

When I came her I thought I had a decent understanding of training and Nutrition. fuck did I feel like an idiot reading the stuff posted here.

I aint gonna lie I was on bb.com and someone posted a thread from here then looking at the forum you had to sign up to look at the porn back in the day and this guy I think his name was alien8tor or something posted alot of pics. I even followed that guy to an other forum Ive been a member at now for almost as long as IM.

Came for the porn, stayed for the info

Divine intervention got me here. I have learned a lot from being here...

Posted by: min0 lee

I also came here for the looking for ways to isolate my pecs.....needless to say it was a great topic at the time.

Posted by: zombul

This is by far my favorite site. I frequent a few others but have recently made this my favorite because of all the stupidity else where. Now granted it’s here as well but doesn’t run as ramped as it does on some other popular sites. They have too many wanna be ass clown’s acting like they are intelligent because they have a subscription to M&F. And some of the guys with knowledge act like they are with holding some huge classified secret, or they think they are intellectually superior to you. I find a good balance here. OC is full of BS but the training, nutrition, and supplementation, sections are kept serious. I have also found some people here actually know what they are talking about.

i was recruited from another site... and i never left. Sorry Rob. I'm like a bad case of crabs.

Posted by: Little Wing

wanting to get in shape.

Posted by: MCx2

AKIRA told me about it. I had never been on a forum before and didn't know what to expect or how to handle myself at first. All the great peeps and info kept me here. I only frequent one other forum now and it's for MMA. I knew how to lift and work hard before I got here, I just didn't have the knowledge to piece together a healthy diet, and an effective program. Many thanks to everyone involved with this site.

I think it was Fitness Forum(s).

I came here back in the day when another site was starting to suck! I think it was MM.com? Anyway, Jenny (from Sweden) lured me over. I've been around off and on for a while. I'm getting ready to help a friend prepare for a competition in September so I figured I better brush up again and get my own head out of my bootay!

Speaking of...did Jenny and Eggs ever get married?

I was doing way too much upper body shit mostly involving a smith machine, and various assorted machines.... No leg/core work, upper back work, or freeweights and cardio 3 times a week... Diet was horrible too (mostly fast food and stuff high in sugar). I was frustrated with lack of progress, so I decided to do some research.

Come for the nutritional advice, stay for the berating.

Your welcome....

I dont know why I came here to be exact. I think I stumbled over it one day and decided to check it out. Found alot of good guys and gals here and thought I had better stay or Trips may come find me.

I dropped a dumb bell on my chest so I searched on yahoo something like, "drop weight on chest". I went to a bunch of the links and ironmagazine was one of them. I think from there I just lurked around for a month them became a member and started posting. There were a lot of cool personalities so I stuck around.

I even have the link saved. It's in a strange format though.

First forum I have ever posted on too. Like Bakerboy said, I feel like it was some sort of divine intervention as well.

Who knows what I would be doing what know with my training and diet.

Haha, that happened to me once during my first 6 months of training... I was doing my "heavy" DB presses at the time and I pretty much reached failure... I didn't let go of the weight, but my arm pretty much gave out.

Yeah, I was wondering about him a while(like... a year) ago too.

Last time he came by he said he was ultra busy with a new job, I hate it when they choose their careers over love...

A proxy brought Fufu to IM

Ever get your problem fixed?

Nah, it is still timing out without a proxy. It is fine besides the fact that it can run really slow and it doesn't let my use some features(like putting links in text and posting image URLs).

I'll be back to my dorm soon and it should be fine there.

I was typing in ironman in the search engine but I typed too fast and made and error and found this place instead.

I came for the treats.

Posted by: goob

I came here because I was searching narcotics and came across one of Manic's posts.

And after looking around, realised that the right people were here to answer questions I had about getting back into my previously athletic shape.

I never thought you were useless, although that creatine you supplied me with has got me confused.

Gets the heart racing and i'm really confident and alert in the gym....

but why do I have to snort it?

Yea...wtf. I talked to him maybe a year after he went silent. Personal problems got the best of his internet life, I guess.

We had a great little family for a few months there.

Then what happended?

Posted by: Pianomahnn

Dunno. I guess it just got bigger. Hell, there were only like 150 registered users at the time, and most of them were inactive anyway.

Posted by: Witchblade

I read a lot of the ironmagazine articles. Then I started reading some of the forum and liked that even better. The mods made me stay. Bigdyl, foreman, myk, vietjon and others made me frequent the site and visit other sections than training and nutrition.
