Below is the first message to be posted on the Lift for Life Forums, a new online community in the interest of natural bodybuilding and fitness.
It has to start somewhere!

"I have created this forum because I strongly feel that the contest promoters and sanctioning organizations do a very poor job of promoting natural bodybuilding and fitness. I authored an 80 page research paper which concluded that the enhanced bodybuilding community eclipses the natural bodybuilding community to the point of non-relevance. We are not what the public perceives when it thinks of bodybuilders and bodybuilding. Bodybuilding has become synonymous with steroids and grotesquely distorted physiques. The natural bodybuilding and fitness community is fractured into several small, regional organizations, which independently offer little impact and are absolutely no threat to the Weider empire.

We can maintain the status quo while our children grow up to admire steroid laden behemoths, or we can take a stand to promote the “natural alternative”.

I am interested in promoting true health, and not just the appearance of it. I am interested in promoting natural bodybuilding and fitness as a lifestyle, and not simply some bodybuilding organization. I am interested in promoting values and principals, and not simply the self aggrandizement of a few distorted egos.

If you are of like mind, then the Lift for Life Forums needs you.

It has to start somewhere!
