What good did Ironmag do for you as far as training?

min0 lee · 12-23-2005, 01:35 PM

What changes in your training has this forum helped you with and let you see some gains?

With me it was the volume I was doing (too much) and a workout schedule help from some of the guys here. Yes Foreman you! I also liked Stu's

TJ Cline · 12-23-2005, 01:38 PM

It helped me a ton with steroid use, most of what I knew was 1980's logic....and out dated. As far as training I started using more DB work and have started to up my frequency......working great so far..

dougnukem · 12-23-2005, 01:42 PM

I have gotten new techniques to keep my workouts fresh and have learned some different ways to improve my dieting for when I return home. Also, I've seen and read some recipes that I'm looking forward to making at home. That and the all the debates are fun and make my nights go by more quickly.

largepkg · 12-23-2005, 02:11 PM

Quite frankly without this site I'd be a 205lb man in the skin of a 300lb man.

**CowPimp** · 12-23-2005, 02:13 PM

It made me realize the importance nutrition plays in performance and altering body composition. It opened me up to a whole lot of new exercises and different routines to try. It made me realize that I need to do more research, as I have just scratched the surface on the knowledge there is out there on training.

BulkMeUp · 12-23-2005, 02:21 PM

I learned to eat right to grow and not wonder if i'll get fat. As well as to train right with emphasis on form and balancing the movements and volume in a routine properly.

Squaggleboggin · 12-23-2005, 02:47 PM

What haven't I learned from this site? This is a really good thread to start. Really, it is. I've learned everything I know about training and nutrition from various members here. It's helped me lose about 30 pounds and more than triple my deadlift in about 14 months.

Nick+ · 12-23-2005, 03:02 PM

I'm a dense hard pickled nut to crack, but who knows, maybe in a 1000 years I'll have 18.5" biceps (cold), and it will all be thanks to Ironmagazine Forums.............

yup, same goes for me as well.

A lot of people on here such as cowpimp, pfunk, min0, and foreman haven given me great advice and suggestions for lifting routines and emma and jodi with their diet advice.

I'd wouldn't be progressing anywhere without help from ppl on here.

It helps to keep me motivated, not just in my training but also in my studies. Aside from trying to enhance my own athletic performance and get stronger I enjoy helping others reach their goals.

it has helped me a bunch and i thank the ppl here on IM for taking the time to help me and others

**DOMS** · 12-23-2005, 04:23 PM

It taught me that yes, I too can kill and burn the body of some chick.

Actaully, it exposes me to ideas and methodologies that I didn't know even existed.

This forum has taught me how big of a role diet plays in weight gain and weight loss. I look at cutting and bulking as more of a science now. As far as training goes, I have dropped volume on biceps and tris and increased volume on chest and back. I have also started doing deadlifts regularly.

Tier · 12-23-2005, 07:40 PM

Every aspect really, I was overtraining and training improperly and eating improperly. I also learned a lot about supplementation in all aspects and new ideas for future training and synthetic alternatives. Good advice all around and especially from mino,squanto and cowpimp.

Seanp156 · 12-23-2005, 07:43 PM

Pretty much everything... I knew absolutely nothing in regards to proper diet or exercise before reading here. I'm no expert now by any means, but I know a lot more than I used to.

BritChick · 12-23-2005, 08:09 PM

I have definately learnt a lot more at IM than any other fitness related forum.
There are a ton of really smart people here who I have learnt an abundance of information from, both in training and nutrition.
As well as that, on the whole, the people here are great, friendly and supportive, I don't think I've stayed an active member on any other site as long as I have here.

soxmuscle · 12-24-2005, 12:17 AM

when i first came here, i was doing marathon workouts. for those who dont remember, i would workout for up to 3-4 hours a day, 5-7 days a week.

through research and help on im, a year later i was doing full fledged HIT, 15-25 minutes of training only three times per week.

needless to say, i love im.

Zac_Champigny · 12-24-2005, 02:14 PM

I think Ironmag keeps me going downstairs to train. Some days I think that I just don't feel like doing it at all. Then I think about all the pictures of jacked dudes on this site, and how lame everyone here would think I was if I didn't go lift, and I go downstairs and do it.

Andy_Massaro · 12-24-2005, 02:49 PM

While i haven't taken the plunge yet, I have to say that I'm not as fearful as I once was about using steroids. Unfortunately, the media played a huge role in fucking with my head about using and when I started researching, while they can certainly fuck you up if you dont take proper precautions, they can be safer than a lot of other PHs out there.
