Check that: My computer is about 50% of the way done uploading it. Should be done in about 10-15 minutes.

Gator- I would suggest making a list of text links that people can click on to view each video instead of loading them all on one page. Awesome videos though.

The main reason why I am done posting here is because they will not put a link to my site up. I guess 1315 posts that have helped this community do not deserve a little respect. So, how can I post on a message board that will not return the love?

why will they not put a link for you when you had a banner for freetrainers on your site. 3 and a half yrs or something its been and every one of those posts was helpful. Theres no other sponser sites on this so its not like youd be competing for there spot?? And at least at the start to give you a hand to get your site really going as i am sure it is going places..

Gatormade, I am sure many have truly enjoyed your posts and implemented a lot of your advice into their training techniques and I am sure that FT is forever grateful for all your dedication and advice you have given to many on this site.

I am also sure the reasoning behind them not adding a link to your site is well, if they add yours then others will want their's added as well and they need to remain impartial to all community members as that would take up a lot of disk space seeing how big this community has grown.

Your site is great and I wish you the best of luck with it and your ventures. I will stop by and give a shout out to you and see how you are doing once in a while.

:)

Remaining impartial to a comunity member that has helped this websites members? Does this make sense to you? I'm not asking for their 1st born child. They have links of other websites up. I still have a link to freetrainers on my website. It's all good. I have other sites that have my link up and all I had to do was put theirs up on my website. If anyone needs help, you now where I live now....

Very cool site, Gator! I dig it! I might be 'stealing' some of your training methods soon...

This is true JB but this forum doesn't seen suited for the strength or powerlifter but I do get great advise on other topics like Nutrition and when I did split type work BB1 had me all squared away.

I made a transition about 7 months ago and became unafraid to lift and eat big.

I'm not knocking this site one bit but I have had to go elsewhere for the last 7 or 8 months to get some serious answers that I couldn't get here.

I have gotten answers here and when I do they are more on spot then most places but I need answers faster then I get here.

I have a few post that I had to answer myself here by getting the info elsewhere but this is a good thing as it made and makes me research harder for myself and learn more and better.

Honestly, man, I've been out of the loop. I have been absolutely buried in my school work. Haven't been seriously hitting the gym.

I talk to Steve every once in a while, and he said he never gets on here anymore. This board used to be fairly active : /

They don't do anything to keep the big posters. Not tooting my horn here guys just stating a fact. I'm an elite expert in my field and all I asked was for them to post a link to my site. The said no. If they had said yes I would still be on here posting away.

Here are the links they have. How about some solid links?

SFG this site is designed for an avg joe that's completely new to lifting,to get in shape. Sure it may have various subforums but that's in name only. There are plenty of other places that cater to various strength sports and which you should check out.
