Best of The Forum in August 2009. StrongLifts.com also has a forum with +5500 members and +130.000 posts. The forum has lots of knowledgeable members, is very active and free.

You can keep a training log for free in the forum. Record the weights you lifted and how you felt. Get advice from other members and compete with them. The training logs are great motivators. I highly recommend you to start one.

You can discuss blog posts in the article section. I’m committed to answer your questions, even if they’re controversial. I’m open minded and don’t pretend to know everything. Please join the convo with the same mindset.

Since I’m vagabonding for another 2 weeks and this post is automated, you won’t get a list of best threads this time. So go to the forum and explore it yourself. You’ll find plenty of good stuff. Click here to go the forum.
