Good Name For A Weight-lifting Forum
Posted By: mark* on 2/16/2007 3:42 PM (CST) 250 Points
Hey. I was wondering if anyone had any good, general names for a weightlifting forum. Right now mine is bolttraining, but I feel like that's too much of a "me too" name off the bigger forums like bodybuilding.com. I want a name that is pretty broad so this could some day be a very popular forums. So it cant be something specialized. I'm stumped!

Buildingbulk.com

massofmuscle.com

Nah, I think that too closely resembles bodybuilding.com. Mine is one for not only bodybuilders, but all kinds of weightlifting. Something people will remember, something you can see lots of people being involved with and it becoming a place where they post regularly

haha sorry to be picky. But cant have the word iron in it because there are two other forums for weightlifting, fortifiediron, and ironaddicts. But any ideas in general would be awesome!

these appear to be available:

fit-talk.com

FitNLift.com

lift-forum.com

weightytalk.com

weightysubjects.com

(last two are kind of a pun on the word "weighty")

Mark,

I hope you don't mind me giving you this little piece of advice. It's meant with the best intentions.

It's nice when the author of a question gives feedback to the people who responded, but you might be careful not to squelch ideas. Sometimes a bad idea prompts a great idea. So you should just let it flow rather than being critical of each suggestion made. In brainstorming, there are supposed to be no wrong answers.

Yours is an especially difficult question because so many domain names are taken, but if you let the collective creatiity on this site take off, you might finally get something that you like.

Best of luck,
karen

Thanks Karen. No offense taken. I understand what you are saying. I'm not blowing anything off completely, I'm just trying to get everything in the same mindset as me so I can get the best ideas possible. I still havent come up with a name, but when I do, I'll know it.

Thanks again, and I'm still looking for any ideas.

Trying to stay with pure lift terms:

OverheadPress.com
CrunchTimeNews.com
MaximumPress.com - your online spotter.
BenchPressTimes.com
LatsandStats.com
BenchPressOnline,


You can tagline any with, "Your Online Spotter" or
"We Give You The Online Spot" "Give Us the Time and We Give You the Spot".

More Trendy since your name is Mark -

MarkMyWords.com - News for the Serious Bodybuilder

Abs2Pecs.com - Our Bodybuilding News has you covered.

TrainingTimeNews -Give us the time, we give you a body.

Just a few to help the forum gather steam!

Good Luck and Happy Marketing~

Hey guys, I'm liking what I'm hearing so far. Try and keep things a little less specific than benchpressonline-type things. The reason is because you have a lot of musclemags out there like flex. I'm really trying to seperate myself from them in that most of the things they publish is pure BS.

The more I think about it, the more I want to lean towards something with the word BOLT in it. It's just bolttraining sounds like a personal training business.

I cant thank yall enough for the help!

Hi Mark,

I don't know what a BOLT is in terms of weight training, can you clue us clueless ones in?

If you Google "bolt", you get a lot of stuff about the San Diego chargers, because apparently it's their team nickname. Are you sure you want to compete with that? (I know, now I'm the one being negative!)

Can you incorporate bolt in any of the combinations mentioned above such as:

boltweightlifting.com
boltfitnesslift.com
boltweightraining.com
benchbolt.com
bolttraining.com

I can't speak to the availability of the domain but hope it helps with the flow of ideas. Good luck.

Mark,

Karen, speaks right on target! It is not just a word-many factors immediately go into play.

With all due respect you started this forum looking for a broad spec name - feedback was provided. Now you have changed the spec by incorporating the name "Bolt", which in your initial request you did not wish to use, because it was too specific!

1- You cannot have it both ways

2- You cannot stagnant ideas from creative people on this site offering You Free Advice, for the sake of the 'flavor of the day"- Good marketing does not work that way.

3- And please take this with all the most respect - it does not sound like you know what you want, and more importantly, what you NEED for success.

What are your unique value propositions, marketing propositions and position statements?

A name becomes a Brand, and a Brand becomes a value proposition to its target audience.

I suggest you gather those thoughts and then revisit this forum to gain solid ideas from solid professionals, who look for nothing more that giving you a little help.

Good Luck and Happy Marketing~

Proeditor, BOLT doesnt really mean anything, it just sounds cool. And since there are so many other weightlifting forums, its one of the few ideas not taken from others.

P1, I appreciate everyones ideas. I'm just giving my feedback on them. What I meant by too specific is bolttraining kind of sounds like a personal training business. I really couldnt see that being a big board. But I've been thinking about it a lot, and it seems maybe its not just the name, but the logo. When people go to my site, they have no idea what bolttraining means or is. I've just redesigned a logo with more creativity and I said "weightlifting forum" below it so people will know what it is.
