Bodybuilding Forum

Thousands of trainees go to bodybuilding forums to find information on gaining muscle, losing fat, supplements, and steroids.

I'm no exception--I've been visiting forums since the mid-90's when I first got online.

Let me just tell you some of the positive and negative things you'll encounter:

The Positive:  
I've "met" some really experience bodybuilders and powerlifters on some of these forums.  Some of them really know their stuff and freely give good advice.

These are also places where you can find open discussion about subjects such as steroids, etc--information that can be otherwise hard to find.

The Negative:
While there are some knowledgeable people online, there are also some real dummies.  I've found this to be especially true when discussing supplements.  Some of these discussions/debates are what made me decide to write my Jason Ferruggia Scam post. 

Some forums are connected to online supplement stores, so I wonder about conflicting interest (getting banned for saying something that may cut into their profits).

Final Thoughts:
It's fine to use a bodybuilding forum to connect with other lifters.  Just be sure to think critically and be careful who you listen to.
