deceiver bringing the absolute truth.
once a week, twice a week, three times a week... it doesn't matter! that people don't realize this boggles my mind. sometimes i even feel crazy. like, am i the only one who has ever tried different things? and realized there's pretty much no way that some guy dicking around in the gym is ever going to be able to confidently say that technique A gave me .0001 mm more diameter on my arms than technique B?
it's no wonder the supplement / fitness "industries" are so rife with pseudo science... the kind of moron to whom bodybuilding generally appeals eats this shit up. how do any of you measure ANYHING that you do? how can you isolate variables? how can you repeat results? practically every gym rat will happily give some prescription for even the tiniest detail... 4 factor rep tempos, macro breakdowns to the percent, "intensity techniques"... what a bunch of SHIT. keep on preaching retarded hairsplitting bullshit all the while there are ten million youtube videos of bodyuilders, olympic lifters, powerlifters, and athletes at all levels of development contributing to a body of training documentation that can obliterate any and all of your simpleton dogma -- for every "technique" you can think of, there will be dozens of examples of people who did the exact opposite for great results, and dozens who did the exact same for shit results.
besides this, it's pretty obvious training barely matters anyway. if you were born to be big, you will be big with any halfway decent training program. if you weren't, you won't. END OF STORY.
