Since i started Strongman the GOTO place has always been Sugden Barbell.

The Competition Diary has always been pretty bloody good AND training videos section has always been a great source of inspiration ..

NEVER one to show any real interest in Facebook have noticed that these sections are just dying a f**king death recently and just sat wondering why no one gives a s**t anymore ...

Then after a discussion with one of the kids at my gym seeing the reason why.

Facebook is the new Sugden and this ultimately is where all strongman discussion will be done .

Its sad to me but it will happen ..

What a shame !

Samething happening (already happened?) in the indoor rowing community.

I'm sure it was much better back in the old days (everything was, right?), but to me Sugden looks like a pretty lively forum by current standards.

Its less of a niche now, there's about half a million crossfitters who understand what a deadlift is. They weren't about when SB started.

such a shame if this is happening, (not that I have been here long). Personally I dont want to be part of facebook where all my details are shared with various goverments and sold to advertisers so they can check my IP and start a campain of direct market spamming.

I don't think that's entirely the case, i mean you wouldnt ask facebook for lifting advice would you? I don't go on facebook much so could be wrong.

When I first started using this forum it was a good mix of weightlifting, powerlifting & strongman. However over the years it has changed to 80% strongman, 15% powerlifting & 5% weightlifting.
The strongmen posters have overwhelmed the site with lots of small (10-15 competitors) competitions of little relevance so the Powerlifters and weight lifters have gone elsewhere (Facebook).

Example: I always post details on here of the All England powerlifting and in past years used to receive loads of feedback, this year it was minimal, the competition however sold out (150 lifters) 6 weeks before the closing date. Why, we posted details on Facebook!

FB is a horrible place, but sadly it will take over most forums in time, or at least decrease the forum traffic.

And what exactly are we supposed to say? We know it's awesome, but its a) nothing new for Bennii and b) there's a 21 page thread on the build up to the big deadlif comp.

The General Bulls**t section is active, as is Mr Savage's journal Happy

How is Muscle Talk doing these days? I hated the new design, so ceased my occasional visits.
