sumone had asked where they could find one of mine. I went to look for it and that's how I found out. it is def a shame cuz there was sum serious knowledge and insight in those archives, as far as back to ones that I read when I was a young lifter. I guess we just gotta right new stuff and bring back sum old thoughts in the process.
but the new layout out and design is tough as shit.

Some of yours were black & white gold as well. It can't be too difficult for the powers that be to upload a link to archived articles. For a company who prides themselves on history and their roots, to just wipe out all of that seems a bit...off.

Those old articles are what brought me to this brand. There should at least be an archived folder or something of all the old stuff. Can't take up too much space in terms of bandwidth; it's just text. I feel it's a disservice to the roots of this brand to just toss aside what brought so many of us here in the first place. I get it, there's new articles and content. And some of those that wrote the OG articles are still writing articles today. But some aren't. Maybe its just b/c I don't like change.

Same here. Those articles are what brought me here and inspired me to change my life. They can't go away. The no holds barred, Animal state of mind and attitude of those articles can't be replaced with videos. How to bench or deadlift vids or how to eat vids are all over the internet, but what's in those articles isn't anywhere else but Animal. If you start making videos of Machine and P Diesel looking straight into the camera and into my soul telling me the only way I can achieve my goals is through pain, sacrifice and more pain, then maybe you can toss the articles. Maybe. If all Animal has to offer is "how to" videos then what is it that separates us from Bodybuilding.com, tNation or eliteFTS? What is Animal?

Looks like a unanimous decision from the masses to me.

Darn straight, there has to be a way to snuggle them in a corner of the interweb somewhere and could be obtained by us folks that want to still see and use. Or at least, let PM and get copies in some shape or form.
To me, would be like music that was vinyl, cassette or on CD gets trashed, as it's not the current "format".
Pushing 50 on the clock, I've seen, understand and accept that change happens... got 2 teenage boys, so yeah, livin' it daily.
Just because new chapters are being written doesn't warrant or justify History being erased and made inaccessible.
Carry On !!!

Those who worry the most about overtraining are the ones that don't train HARD enough and aren't STRONG enough to need to worry about it.

The new Design is cool and all but i still can't find "Diary of a Madman" by G Diesel or the whole "Life is a Freakshow" by Machine. I used to spend so many hours reading those articles and now they're gone. Please bring them back!

Or at least give the interested & loyal followers access or PM with a link, file, (whatever), to be able to download. Again, too many great thoughts, motivation and insight to not be accessed.

I'm not a fan of the new design. I gave myself some time to get used to it, but I still don't like it. Extremely disappointed to see all the old extras go. There was an old ad I used to love...called "Be Selfish." I went to look it up and set as my desktop, maybe even print it out, laminate it, and hang it on the wall. But yep it's gone. Along with a lot of other great stuff. To the point that someone made, these old articles and ads are what attracted us to the brand in the first place. To remove them and sweep them under the rug is just a travesty.

Some of the old stuff is coming back, don't worry.
