Musclegrowth.org Club

[brutus]

The recent Muscle Club post seems like a great idea to me. However, many of us do not live near one-another. I started a private Google+ community so that people can do "Hang-Outs" together (up to 9 people).

I think this should be a private group, and not be a broadcast as stuff on Youtube usually has a way of ending up on TV somehow.

If this sounds like a good idea, please let me know and email me at: [email protected] or contact my Google+ at Brutus Maximus.

It would be great to have a wide variety of forum members: big/small, young/old, experienced/newbies from all over the world.

Thank you!

[The Magus]

Yeah, I'm interested, but not necessarily eager to link my google profile to this website/mg in general, since some of my family and professional connections use it and I'm technologically illiterate - would membership in the group be secret or is the brave new world of the 21st century just public for everyone and I'd better get used to it? :P

[brutus]

Create a new profile. Do you really think that is my name???
Oh, and do NOT put any pics of your face on the new profile.

[The Magus]

Cool. I'm on there as Marcus Bell at [email protected]

[The Magus]

So, would this be a sort of social and support group where we can get together and talk about our progress, maybe show off/brag a bit, and exchange tips (like food, diet, lifting technique, workout programs, etc)? Keep each other honest and motivated?

[jx22uk]

I've added myself too...think i forgot to email you to let you know..oops ;-)

[brutus]

Ok, I found your email address, and you are added. That is all of 3 of us now, and all of us are pretty well-built! Although, variety is the spice of life. So a beginner or 2 would be cool!

[The Magus]

Woo! The 3 Muscleteers!

One thing I was thinking we could do is if they ever livestream a bodybuilding show or else just watch Pumping Iron or some other movie or training vid as a group, and chat during/after.

[dodoria21]

I'm definitely interested in this. Love just chatting with others who are into bodybuilding and building more muscle. Later on I'll have to tinker with creating a google+ profile. Brutus, I'll contact you when I get it set up so I can join

[The Magus]

Hey dodoria...that was me that added you on google+ to my circles (Marcus Bell, not my real name)....right now I think only brutus can add ppl to the "club". Things are slow right now, but I'm finding it motivating to post about my workouts, diet, etc, anyway. Feel free to add your input or just say hi.

[brutus]

Dodoria,
Please pm me the email you attach to the G+ account. Anyone here will gladly be added. I recommend using a fake name (as mine obviously is...) for privacy, but do as you will.

[dodoria21]

Got your add magus thanks. Still figuring out how to work google+ but it'll be cool if more join in. Definite motivation.

And Brutus, I pm'ed you my email. Same as you guys, used an obviously fake name lol.

[garrix]

Hey Brutus, added you on there myself. I'll shoot you an email here.

I'm a weightlifter... 6', 220lbs.

[brutus]

I think you are both added. As always, just let me know you want in, and I will gladly add you. I ask that you respect other's privacy as well as your own, and have fun. I don't think any of that should be overly restrictive. It also makes it easier if you tell name here, and that you are from the Evolution forum, or from the muscle growth forum, but I can usually figure out what people mean...

[The Magus]

Welcome to the club, men.

[coolson]

Just added you, brutus. Really excited about this.

[menergy]

I am interested. Please add me!!

[The Magus]

Hey guys, if brutus is offline, you can also send me a PM (Marcus Bell on there, I'm in brutus' circles) and I should be able to invite you into the group if he isn't available.

Welcome to the club!

[theunknown]

how do you go about joining this ? I'm curious.

[brutus]

Just send me a PM with the email address that is tied to the Google+ account you want to use.


Again, for obvious privacy reasons I suggest NOT using your real account with your real name, and pics of your face. Google Plus accounts are free, and easy to create. The Magus can also help you with any needs!

[The Magus]

Just gonna bump this thread to remind people about our muscle group on google plus. We're a group of guys dedicated to getting big and are using the group to motivate and encourage each other, as well as to trade tips, point out items of interest on the 'net, and so on.

If you want to join, just send a message to Brutus as he describes above, or you can also send me a message too (I'm Marcus Bell or [email protected]).

It's a private community and we're all using aliases, so don't be shy.

[brutus]

The more people, the merrier. So join now!

[The Magus]

Bumping the thread again, because the group is still going, but we could always use some new members. I think we're shaping up to be a supportive place for guys to share their progress and talk about growing. If you're dedicated to getting bigger, no matter whether you're a beginner or advanced, feel free to join. I do ask that you be serious about growing, though....we all have setbacks and obstacles to overcome, but this is a group for guys that are determined to grow no matter the odds...this is about living for muscle, not just dreaming about it.

If you want to join, all you gotta do is:

1) Set up a google+ account (this is important! We can't add you if you don't have a google+ account!). Google+ needs you to have a name, but they don't check that it's your REAL name.

2) Send me (I'm "Marcus Bell" at [email protected]) or any of the other moderators (like brutus above) a message and I'll add you as soon as I get it.

We've already had a few live chats and a viewing of the Arnold Classic, that was really fun.

[brutus]

This is a great place to get advice & motivation from a host of supportive bodybuilders. I wish there was something like this when I started!

[inm]

How is it different than this site/forum?

[theunknown]

No sponsorship requests?

It's group of people that from this site that just meet-up, chat, video-chat, Hang-out, etc. It is more focused. This site has all the great fiction, morphs, etc. The club is in no way a replacement for this site, just a way for serious members of this site to meet-up virtually.

As for sponsorship: that isn't really what I intended the club to be. You would be better off posting on sites like this.

[dodoria21]

definitely could use more members. It's a great place for the muscle fanatics here who are really working towards getting huge to commiserate and help spread motivation

[chanlord]

Sent an email to the email address for an invite with no reply

[brutus]

Sorry Chanlord, I never saw it.

[chanlord]

Definitely recommend joining this group if you're interested in chatting to and sharing photos, tips and talking about your growth plans with other members

[GTlifter]

I sent a email to brutus

[The Magus]

If he doesn't get back to you right away, I'll be online most of the day. I'm Marcus.b.huge (@gmail.com) on google and also have invite powers.

[ricksteve]

I pinged you brutus on google+ - I'd be up for hangouts with you guys!

[dodoria21]

BUMP BUMP BUMP!!!

Got the Olympia on the horizon. Hangout is being planned for the streaming of it.

Need this group to grow like the members of it are haha.

In all seriousness, though, this group could really become an awesome community for those who are really serious about working out and building muscle, but may not have those around who can really understand that hunger you get over it. And fewer still who understand, like people here do, how that muscle can be quite the turn on.

So join already and let's all get BIG!

/end shameless plug

[MuscleNerd]

This sounds cool shall have to join in !

[musclstud]

Hey, I am def interested. Will email you, Magus

[The Magus]

Emailed received, your invite is in the mail.

[ghunner]

I am interested in joining this group. I've added Brutus and Magus under my "Ben Reilly" account. Will email you, too.

I am in decent shape, with continual progress in the gym recently.

[The Magus]

Our little community is almost a year old, and soon it'll be New Years, a time when we can reflect on our progress from the year before and plan for the year ahead.

I know I'm not the only one who drew inspiration and motivation from our google community over the last 11 months. It's truly been a supportive community with a bunch of guys who are serious about growing. All of us face our own challenges, and I know some of the members have struggled to meet some of their goals, but at least we have a place where we can get advice and support from other guys who've been there.

If anyone wants to join our "little" community, we're still accepting members. The only requirement is to be serious about muscle growth.

What do we mean by serious?

That's personal, and everyone needs to figure it out for themselves, but it means that you've moved beyond accepting the simple excuses and are doing everything you can to reach your goals. No one is perfect, and not everyone can be a muscle beast, but each of us can get a little bit closer to that ideal by making a few changes to our lives and always trying to improve.

If this makes sense to you, then by all means send me or brutus an email with your google+ username and we'll send you an invite.

After that, just make a post to the group telling a bit about yourself and I know you'll find us to be welcoming and encouraging.

I'm a lot less snarky in that group than I am here, btw. :P
