The Official Save The Bodybuilding.com Forums

First place I checked, nothing in spam.

Maybe try an alternative email address if you have one? I used my hotmail and it went to junk but it did come through right away. Haven't decided if I'm going to post yet but figured I should at least register.

It's easier, for me, because I haven't been around here, part of the bb.com community, very long at all. I imagine that, for many of you, making a jump like that might be difficult.

Old dog, new tricks. Plus, I'm not buying much equipment these days, and I participate in some of the other forums on bb.com that aren't as destroyed by spam. I might wait for this place to RIP before I make the move.

Gave up on all forms of social media except for this forum, so if it dies then so does my online presence. It's been a good run though, I'll keep grinding in the gym and flipping forever though!

I tried registering for exodus forums, it won't send me an activation email, tried a dozen times already.

I have the same problem. I never got the registration e-mail. I could register again with a different e-mail address, but the effort is not worth it. Exodus just makes it too difficult to join. Their loss.

I have all the equipment I want currently and no more room for anything else. So I rarely visit here.

To clarify, the reason I visit here is (was) for the members. The equipment crew and the other various crews are filled with some great people. It was nice to keep in touch and see what everyone was up to. The equipment forum seemed to peak about 5 to 7 years ago. Those were good days. I am sad to see those days end.

[urbanlifter]

Know what you mean though, unless you are constantly buying/selling equipment it's hard to have a 'reason' to keep posting. I'm a lunatic though so I doubt I'll ever stop buying/selling equipment, as long as insane deals keep falling in my lap I'll keep swapping stuff out. Adds a little variation to the routine and keeps things interesting.

An update on the Exodus registration process - Michiganian kindly started up a thread there regarding this issue and the team there is aware of the issue and working on it.

Thread Link: https://www.exodus-strength.com/foru...pic.php?t=4560

They believe that the issue causing emails not to be sent has been resolved. Just be aware that it's still very possible/likely that the confirmation email will go into your spam folder.
So for those of you that were not getting the confirmation emails, I would try again.

Not quite. They're still working on it. But they're getting there

Yep, I've been following the discussion. Thanks for assisting them with getting this issue sorted out.

I guess this is now the universal thread so I'll ask here: any strong thoughts on the Prime Leg Press (hybrid version)? I've used it a few times briefly but never for a hard workout. I have an opportunity to pick one up but can't decide it makes sense. I have a Medx (selectorized) leg press and a Hammer MTS Isolateral Squat press already but the Prime looks like it might be a lot more compact and I could repurpose the space from the others.

Is there value I'm missing in the adjustable resistance profile? I"d just think on a leg press you want a load curve that increases at the top, can't see a case where you'd really want to overload the bottom or even the middle but maybe I"m short sighted here?

No Chinese spammers in four days.

Has BB.com been saved? Or just spared for a bit?

[Afo3]

Yeah weird decrease in spam but no matter what, I think a lot of regulars have moved on.

It definitely isn't as good for lengthy discussion threads but the ******** group "Hardcore Home Gyms - Bodybuilding & Powerlifting" is better than I expected and has some serious, commercial equipment oriented folks.

Its hard staying active when you've been at it for so long, unless you are into flipping equipment.

There is more equipment, weights, etc for sale than I have ever seen before. Would be fun to discuss if there were any people posting and there was no spam.

I am seeing the exact opposite here. I check my saved searches daily and the number of ads is low. If I wanted to replicate my gym now, I would have trouble finding the equipment, let alone at the good prices I paid. For example, the few ads I see for weights are at around 1.50 to $2 per lb, and that is for Fitness Gear quality plates.

Cautiously optimistic about the drop in spam. Hoping the trend continues.

Definitely the case in my area! Seeing lots of gym equipment for sale, mix of overpriced stuff but there are deals to be had. I've seen numerous belt squat machines, quality racks, and decent priced weights that I would have scooped up in the past. Even saw a pair of Berg 45lb bumpers the other day going for a decent price, but I was too lazy to go get them LOL

Sadly, not to be. Four pages of fresh Chinese spam since last night

I’m jealous. I feel like there is more on the market in my area, but the quality level has dropped significantly.

Yes a lot of the weights are not great , but there are a lot for sale.

Well, at least today's spam flood wasn't in Chinese

Hats off to the poor soul that cleaned up all the spam.

Frackin' Chinese spammers are back

I'm just glad that it's not screwing up the stickies. It's just one annoying person setting this cr*p up, probably a soy boy.

-My mistake, it appears to be two new accounts that need to be whacked.

[1651Naismith]

Thank you, to whoever cleaned up the spam.

[Michiganian]

*sigh*... The spammers are back in force
