Thanks for accepting my membership. Figured it was time for me to see how it's done right. Just here for the knowledge laid out and to learn. I run pretty simple cycles, but kind of thinking of a comp down the road one day when the time is right.
Thanks for allowing me in. I am here to educate myself more so than experiment. My mind is open.
Mr KfizzleThanks for letting me join here. I need this info, the plan is to be stepping on stage by this time next year. But I don't just want to go stepping on stage I want to step on stage and without a doubt take home a victory!
I have support from the Mrs (of course) have hired a trainer for meal, workout and progress adjustments who will also be my experience contest prep coach.Only thing I don't like so far is his cycle advice.
I'm hoping to apply some of these advanced cycles and techniques to my future cycling. I'm smart enough to know what's within my limits. I hope this place takes off. This is what I've wanted is to be able to see how advanced guys are applying things. I've got a bulk planned for this winter. Looking at Prop, NPP, Provi, and maybe cycling Drol 2 weeks at a time throughout. Hopefully I can learn some things to apply to this.
Put a post up and i will give you a bulker using the right compounds but without going compound mad..... we can utilise PROP/NPP as kicks/tapers but we need longs in there also.... test/deca you get the concept?.... its easy when in a proper layout.
Ok will do, I've been playing around with different scenarios.
I'm here I appreciate it
post up this place is dead! lol...it would be nice to get some guys in here ready to take it to the next level. I think viking is dying to put out some advanced cycle layouts! LOL
Hell Ya I'm looking forward to seeing everyone perspective here
Well I don't know if I could keep up with you guys but I do have some ideas guess we can post in here with out getting killed right lol
post away
Thanks for letting me In , pleasure to learn and share with u guys
phil113kgI want to extend my gratitude to those responsible for letting me inn and everyone else who believes that I was qualified to be picked. I hope to learn a lot and share my experience. I'm on the fast track and am currently prepping for some shows. So class begins.
Anoni agree bro. it's def an honor to have been invited over. look forward to learning from all of you
You are one of the few top tier, truly experienced veterans on this site. Glad to have you all. I know I have a lot to learn.
Not to many people are making it in, so for the mebers that are here, if you see someone that you think qualifies please send them over for consideration.
I have a few ppl in mind.

a couple of those guys are on the list right now, plil I invited over already.
ok cool! And Papa swole is fairly new here but based on the shit he's been posting in his group, he knows this world pretty well.
sgtstedankoGive me an AK-47, & a good guard dog (one that speaks German); maybe a bottle of black jack, some benzine, ephedrine, epsom salts & a bathtub. Anybody that makes it in can stay? Otherwise Viking cleans up. & whatever he finds, he keeps
Anonjack, benzine, and ehedrine... that sounds like fun roller coaster! lol
It will be a tough one to control for membership. After reading some of the comments I think that the 3 votes and your in is ok, however there should be criteria that needs to be met I think. The list of names that were posted earlier are definately worthy to be invited thats for sure. I do think that Tread also should be invited. I am thinking that pics definately need to be submitted to at least be able to back up what is being said to some degree, I realise that pics can be doctored but it's a way. Another is being invited by a current member. If this is to be done then maybe approval should be given by others already in the group prior to them being addmited to the group? I do think that the group should also be limited in numbers allowed in. That way it eliminates a lot of problems to crap starting in here. But that being said it also limits the info and discusions to be had in here. Oh and by the way Noid thanks heaps for the invite mate.
I applied to become a member this morning and would just like to say im honored to have been accepted i admittedly have a lot left to learn about advanced cycles as i have just begun competing so ill probably be asking a lot of questions for awhile and learning how to build my pre- show cycles while maintaining my health which is of upmost importance with that being said is it ok to start new threads???? If i should wait until details are ironed out just let me know thanks again
I allowed you in due to your your posts and pics and mention of contests. yes you can post its all open

I think a voting system where 3 members of the group are needed to give the OK to new members, kinda like the old school brotherhood initiations
How about a test question or pop quiz? Lol. Sounds silly but maybe it could work. Fact is there are brand new guys who are obviously veteran bodybuilders. Karma cannot be the deciding factor.
Theres some good low karma guys. Watching their answers on forums helps see who has a good grasp.
Karma + Posted content credibility + knowledge and apparent experience with advanced cycles
Anoni agree. i think that's where a secondary screening could be of value.
Im getting alot of requests to join and right now im just looking at pics posted, forum threads opened and the questions asked but I stopped letting in people for right now until we figure out how we want to do this.
Anongood idea. i'm liking being able to see how active people have been.
im thinking about electing 5 people to control membership, takes 3 votes to get in, they would do it via PM so no-one knows who voted if people are denied.
I like this Idea, you would just have to come up with a base of what to vote on to let guys in
Anonthat's def feasible. less potential conflict, plus adds accountability.
thats not a bad idea but there should be some basic criteria as well so it isn't simply subjective to whomever is voting
correct and I have been telling people that ask about memborship that they need to prove that they have beginner and intermediate use of cycles, knowledge of compounds and how to put them in a cycle, and that I am reviewing the posts they have made in our forums for this criteria. But this section is open for discussion, anybody with ideas please feel free to talk about it, im not interested in being in sole control of this section.
delegate it like you suggested 5 admins.. vote to get in ..basic criteria to meet plus review of posts/possible pics (some people can't post due to identity issues) .. as well as knowledge of basic compounds and cycles.. they should at least understand principles of how to cycle, pct, as well as cruising .. not to mention training techniques and dieting ... (well maybe that's too much but.. )
Ok I agree we need to do the admin thing to make it right. im gonna open another thread for admins
Anoni like the idea of invites, but i think possibly still a voting scheme? how to vote... just some suggestions:
votes on all candidates, whether invite or request?
invites get in regardless?
requests go to admin of group, then admin posts links to applicants profiles for us to review then vote?
admin has final say-so
just some ideas. i agree that membership should be awarded based on merrits. what criteria to use is the real question. then how to regulate it.
here is some off the top of my head that i would let in, I feel they have shown that they are either using enough gear to be here, know enough to be here, or have posted pics that prove they should be here. i know there is many others this is just a quick list so if you guys want to add to the list or feel that someone on the list shouldnt be say so

Looks good.
Well we should have like a vote before we let anyone in, i dont want to go by level since some of these guys are ranked high but you can tell there still noobs.
Perhaps the first group of folks who ask to join will be folks that are apparent in ur eyes. After that I think they need someone already accepted into this group to vouch for them. So by invite only. At that point u need to determine whether they can join or not. Ur show brother. But some sort of invite process would work for now.
Also those of us who have spent the hours reading all the posts know already who has changed their tune to certain topics more than once. Acting like they have done things a certain way and truly their posts reflect otherwise. Just because they are smart and educated doesn't make them advanced. Real cycles from real users.
did you get an invite or did you just see that it was made and asked to come in? I sent an invite out to 20 members but couldnt tell if they really went out.
I was also invited
Anoni got an invite.
Looks like I did get an email. System is working
No invite. I crashed the party holmes. How could I tell if I got one?
I got an email.
oh ok thats how then i was trying to figure it out as well.
