By popular request, may I present to you, the Robb Wolf Performance, Health & Longevity Forums!
We think this will go a long way toward furthering the community that many of you find on this blog in a more conducive format to discussions and being able to keep tabs on questions and answers that you have.
What now?
We encourage you to explore the forums and register for an account. Post your questions, offer advice when you have it, add to the Paleo resources section, and enjoy yourself!
Be sure to view Robb’s welcome message as well as the forum rules. Thank you to each of you who volunteered for a moderator position, and watch for an email from me today.
Having trouble figuring something out? See the FAQ section, it will have the answer.

This is off-topic, but I was looking to download podcast 23, and it appears to have disappeared… It’s not available via this site or iTunes.

Signed already! This will be huge! Congrats from Portugal!
Viva Portugal! Hey do you have paleo in in portuguese? Maybe a forum question.
Paleo in portuguese? I don’t understand… What do you mean?
Hi – your forum has stopped me lurking on your site! I have joined up. I thought it was a bit slow loading compared to some others I am on. Might be my connection although my broadband is pretty quick. Not a biggie though, I’m looking to see how it all develops. I’m sure it will be huge!
You’re right, we are looking into the slow load times, the site has been that way too. I’m running some tests tomorrow. I suspect a faulty javascript somewhere! Thanks for the feedback!
Hi Amber if the site and forums are slow I would check your round trip to the host (provider).
ping http://www.robbwolf.com gives me various results varying 20ms each way in the UK but that could be routing issues, a better test could be done locally.
I know phpBB is ram hungry so worth asking the server provider if the server spec can cover the additional ram use.
Also The “Page Stats MOD” may reveal if this is a slow database server issue.(http://www.phpbb.com/customise/db/mod/page_stats_mod/details/)
May I ask if the slow down tied up with the addition of the forums, website has always been quick for me but the forum is showing delays.
Hope this helps
geek out
I understood about half that. Let me get out my geek-tionary. Haha. 🙂 Mediatemple gave me some ideas of what to check for. I haven’t gotten a chance to run tests yet but soon!
Hey Amber,
From one tech geek to another the forum is awesome, one of the best laid out forum’s I have ever been on!
Thank you Brenden!
Hey Robb,
Read this interview over at conditioning research by this guy who makes the bold claim that there is no strength training exercise that carries over to sport or real life. Here is the interview. http://conditioningresearch.blogspot.com/2009/04/revisiting-this-idea-of-functional.html
I feel that the experience of hundreds of strength and conditioning coaches make this guy full of shit but his argument is that every scientific experiment done to assess the applicability of strength programs have failed to show that any strength exercise makes you stronger in sport or real life. Can you tell me what your take on this is?
I like how it’s been active since 1952 and you just opened it up to us today.

wacky! Before you know it i’ll be claiming to have invented circuit training.
Haha whaaaa? That’s bizarre. Off to check the time settings.
fixed! good job!
How about the ability to subscribe to posts so we are notified when a response is made? I know vBulletin can do something like instant, daily, weekly, etc. notifications. Thanks.
Amber, the forums look awesome! Very well set up. One minor recommendation – a link on the top of the page (maybe near the UCP) that would allow you to jump back to robbwolf.com? If it’s there and I missed it, then my apologies. And, FYI, I get the site SMOKING fast here in Baghdad…of course maybe that’s because it’s the middle of the night there. That could be the issue, too – the site and forums are gaining such popularity that you’re pushing the edge of your HW capabilities and/or bandwidth via your ISP (not sure where your servers are sitting)… But for me out here – it rocks! Thanks!
Ahhh good idea. I’ll hook that up. Thanks for the suggestion.
Rob,
Thanks for creating the forum. Look forward to some spirited discussions in there.
