They love to flaunt biotest products over there.... because they are run by that company. More biased I say...

true yep i have noticed that!!!! you cant really get any diet advice or supplement advice without them telling you to buy $300 of their supplements..
good articles and support while training/dieting for comp..........

I like figureathlete.com, Oleysna is a doll but you're right...the constant promotion of their supps drive me crazy. I always try to suggest other products in the diet/nutrition/supplementation threads but am always written off by another person promoting their supps. There are some great articles there however which are much more detailed, up-to-date, and informative relating to females and daily issues regarding bbing, figure, or just being a health conscious gal.

The whole reason i visit the site is to read the articles and it helped me tons when i was prepping for comp to talk with other girls that were going through the same things i was!

Agree with ALL of this. Their articles are fantastic as are the threads, but MAN the Biotest promoting is nuts. *waves at Iron Figure from my end of the Commonwealth :) *

I am also a member on figureathlete.com. I have never run across any negative comments from anyone on FA.com about BB.com.
I pretty much visit FA.com for the articles like most of you commented on. They are great! I do prefer BB.com as I think there is alot more versitality among thread topics and have learned alot more from you gals here at BB.com
I trained with Olesya Novik and she is absolutely phenomenal! Gorgeous both inside and out! I take Biotest supplements and have gotten great results from them.

actually your right, I concluded that figure athlete and t-nation were the same....... I've read like a minimum of 3 negative comments there

Hey PremierGirl...yeah if you are talking about T-Nation then I would agree! That's the "guys" forum and they can be pretty brutal and opinionated! That's why I don't bother visiting that site! :)

I read both regularly and have found that it's not uncommon for the exact same questions to be posed on both. I think the answers are more driven by those who answer them versus the overall philosophy behind each forum.
As for biotest - I take superfood and love it.
