Iron Addicts

What's the deal? Why does everyone in that forum hate on bb.com? I've been reading through some threads and come across "Your Biggest Training Mistakes" and noticed a lot of people mentioned that joining bb.com was one of their biggest mistakes. How can their training and diet theories differ so much from bb.com's?

[Ka0s]

because BB.com is all about 100 sets of cable curls for hyoooge bicep p33ks

IA.com is all about sucking up to IA and his 'simple power' routine tho thats why I rarely if ever post there

[kevinYu]

Yeah they do hate on bb.com Everyone on there kisses ass to IA.

[Ka0s]

there are some real freaks on that board tho...


2scoot comes to mind...

[jmt92]

BB.com members=poeple they make fun of because half the people on this site are a joke.
IA members=feel better about themselves by hating on bb.com members and they can hide what they truly look like because they can have whatever as their avi.Here many have their avi's, regardless of what they look like.

(But I respect a lot of the good info they have on the site, but I still learned more from here and elitefts than anywhere else.)

even though, it's not a good community
the teens aren't allowed to answer other peoples questions on that forum

but they do have good info there

[Ka0s]

[oneeye15]

i find bb.com as less hardcore and more casual

[JOSEF RAKICH]

Just got banned on IA like 10 secounds ago after my 2nd post.

Told the guy named Iron Addicts that he was a idiot, because he thinks bulking is stupid and pointless and its just an excuese to get fat. I presume he was the owner because his name was also in red.

What a noob.

IA is the weakest one of his staff members (self proclaimed) and still is wayyyy out of your league in size and strength.. you are the noob here =(

[Ka0s]

strong dick suck

not really the kid is just talking **** to be cool, when in fact he has nothing to brag about



i dont even like IA or his board that much but you have to give him respect for at least putting in time with the iron

[LukeN.Good]

There's a lot of information regulation on that board, which this one lacks to an extreme. I don't necessarily believe that to be a bad thing though.

Their forum has successfully been established as a dictatorship as far as information goes. Ours is similar to an informational anarchy. There's good and bad things that come with both. With the freedom our forum offers there's a high risk of misinformation but their forum sounds a lot like an "intellect cult" of some kind - I don't like that method at all. All it takes is some common sense, research, and resulting intelligence to sift through the information. I don't need some guys help to tell me what's right and wrong.

IA is way out of Phill Heath leauge in size. Yet Phill bulks and cuts.

IA is way out of Dr. Fred Hatfield (aka Dr. Squat) leauge in strength. I am currently studying with ISSA (international Sports Science Association) to become a personal trainer and it explains about bulking and cutting.

Guess who the author is?

Ill give you a hint, he squatted 1014lbs!

Maby this IA dude should tell Phill Heath and also Dr. Squat that bulking and cutting is stupid, pointless and a waste of time and just an excuese for someone to get fat.

IA dosent know it, but if he is gaining weight/muscle then he is infact bulking him self lol. I dont know why but he automatically links bulking with getting fat. When bulking your aim is to gain as much muscle mass as possible with MINAMIL fat gains.

I bulk and cut, yet i still have year round abs.

So again, there's some interesting and decent information on that site but that doesn't mean it should be your only source. (Generally not a good idea in any research scenario.)

I agree mostly with you.

Many guys over their know ALOT of stuff including IA.

Just think about it 90% of the teens on here arent very strong nor have a good physique (like me lol) so who would you rather take advice from?....a noob on bb.com or someone who is 225+ 10% bf and has already accomplished 300/400/500+.

not bashing anyone on here becasue theres alot of people with knowledge on here but the majority......ehh

[Jonty007]

I've been on IAs simple powerbased routine and from benching around 80kgx1, I can now bench 95kgx1 ...Thats like 35lbs in 5 weeks

Surely he must know something...

[Teench]

Because BB.com is lead by the blind, teenagers who just started lifting 3 days ago are giving advice.

[T3mpest]

I like IA personally. Yeah the dont' let just anyone post advice but that's part of what makes it good. The people giving advice can generally be trusted as they are all big strong and generally pretty smart when it comes to nutrition and training both in theory and what actually works in real life for them.

[monatu]

IA.com is all about sucking up to IA and his 'simple power' routine tho thats why I rarely if ever post there

Pretty much

Also every other forum hates on bb.com (even though 90% of the other forums members post/used to post on here).

Like T-Nation, when they get a moment to break away from circle-jerking with Proffessor-X they do nothing but bitch about how much better they are than anyone on here.

IA/T-Nation/bb.com all has good info - just some sites you have to sift through more **** to find it.

[JC_Strongman]

Because it's a joke of a website.

Exactly.

[umop3pisdn]

Of course a forum where everyone is allowed to speak freely there are going to be wrong advices, but it makes it more interesting and less uptight like IA seems to be.

Ive found teen bodybuilding being the only forum where some misinformation is given by newbs. But the articles and resources are great and same with the advice given by experienced lifters. It's not like we can't think for ourselves here anyway. Whereas the stuff they say is basically forced on you.

[fitnessnewb]

I didnt really like the atmosphere over there, this is more fun etc. For info though I would just suggest researching yourself haha strong broscience ITF usually

Go take a look in the powerlifting section and you'll find guys who obliterate those numbers, oh also you'll find we have alot of ifbb pros who post here.

fk IA bunch of wannabe bodybuilders who use powerlifting routines

Lel reps.

[Aussie12]

IA seem like a bunch of *******s.
never been on the forum and never plan to but the ones that post here seem to parrot a lot of useless info.

[Doug21]

They don't "hate" bodybuilding.com, however its probably one of the first sites you found when you first google'd about the matter. Bodybuilding.com has a large, broad community with a lot of different focuses and people, where as Iron Addicts is more of a tight knit community. There's no reason to be even comparing the best lifts from either forum, it does not prove who has the better forum.

The fact that teens can't post on IA may seem like its hampering the community, but its also a great help in keeping the information on IA as reliable and accurate as possible, whereas on BB.com, much more useless, incorrect crap can be spread around. In fact, almost all of the necessary advice for a beginner can be found accurately in one or two forums.

Now many people will see this crap of a thread and form a biasedness around Iron Addicts, when in fact the owner himself is an extremely intelligent person regarding the art. Many of our members are also members there, and vice versa.

BB.com is a joke compared to IA because of the misleading information/trolls/differing goals of people. You go to IA to gain muscle or strength in the best fashion possible. Here, you will find beginners and intermediates a like wasting their time on stupid 3, 4, 5 day splits (like myself) when we could be getting much benefit by doing on _______. (rippetoes, 5x5, simple power based routine, etc)

IA seem like a bunch of *******s.
never been on the forum and never plan to but the ones that post here seem to parrot a lot of useless info.

We parrot much more useless info.
