Yes, it would be nice. But what pro is going to come in and bs everyone with basic training programs? Pros do the same stuff we do. They have just found what combination works best for them and have been doing it forever. The only time someone comes here to inquire about their training is when they arent sure about a movement or if their program is "overtraining" them.

Tell us what it is you are looking for specifically. What can a pro tell you that anyone else cant?

Oh deffinitely experts should advise :) I cant beleive that even a question

Look at ANY topic on the board and you find a reason to follow what a PRO / EXPERT says over anyone else

We have got verry GENERAL ideas of training.Taining is dynamic man.Its full of intracacies...especially this is an area where ppl who have experience can help.*Their* own experiences are textbooks for us , what theyve found out to be better (be it training / nutrtion) when theyve applied certain thangs and they results they got.

Its a given that results will never be typical ... but rather individual


They pro`s and experts have TRULY walked the walked.They advice is much more reliable than anything anybody else would say

Hey, I'll admit that when I have a question I would love to just say "Hey Priest! How should I..." and have him answer. You are right, it is about being dynamic, but its a bit hard to do without getting ALL the facts out of the person asking the questions. The facts being deit, training programs, form, variety in exercise, not to mention that even if someone did post all of this it is seeing them in action that gets the best results. The dynamics are not to be decided by anyone but the person doing the training. If you keep proper records and experiment when you feel you are at a plateau then you should be able to figure it out yourself. Through years and years of trial and error (not error as in injury).

Seriously, I think we can help eachother just as well. I got much info and help here when I started out a few years back. I am still learning and so is EVERYONE else.

Now, with that being said, bring on the pros!!!!

Maybe people can record their workouts and diets in Excel spreadsheets so they can post them and not have to try and explain it all to us?

Some of what you said is based on assumptions, starting with the one about their advice being reliable. Various pros don't have a clue about training methods outside of what they do, and don't necessarily even know the most effective program for themselves but have the genetics. Many times i have followed a pros advice only to find that it doesn't apply.

A little like asking major league athletes to apply their knowledge to coaching or teaching-doesn't necessarily follow. A pros advice is worth reading definitely, but (1) is already available from many sources, and (2) should be tried but may or may not help.


Good idea what was said earlier-helping one anothe incuding monitoring of programs.

Man , ,Dont argue for arguments sake.You make idiots out of you AND me.Its tiring

Everyone would like input from the experts / pros - `nuff said

If someone asks a question about back detail and if PRIEST is reading this question and advises that in his experience WIDE GRIP ROWING is ideal for back detail- heck , thats great and highly RELIABLE information

Now enuff

Offer something yourself instead of whining. If you knew something you'd realize that you can gain from the experiences of others at virtually any level.

Include your own experiences and links to the ton of online training articles written by pros about training.
Title: Re: Shouldnt we have experts and pro`s contributing here ?
Post by: Rampage on October 28, 2006, 06:29:35 PM
Whose whining ??? Major malfunction on that analysis

This IS my suggestions that  pros should contribute here

Im sure that a pro can give better advice than i would , despite your AMAZING reponse in regards to pro`s LACK of credibilty and knowledge

We all know that they are here on getbi contributing on the main gossip board , then they can read these Qs and offer something too.Obviousoly not a huuuge discussion , a line o two or one post will suffice even

Who the hell says `naah i rather have advice from an novice as opposed to aan expert`

You want to fight me on this , but yet you know its true


Title: Re: Shouldnt we have experts and pro`s contributing here ?
Post by: Stubborn on October 28, 2006, 06:42:03 PM
No one is "fighting you." Just trying to be real.


Please, by all means, if you have a valid idea as to how we get these pros to comment on every question graces the training board, tell us.
Title: Re: Shouldnt we have experts and pro`s contributing here ?
Post by: Rampage on October 28, 2006, 07:06:16 PM
By having a topic that discusses this verry  thing...it will bring attention atleast to it

You taLking an extreme now by wanting pro`s to cotribute to EVERY single topic.You cant guarentee that and nobody can hold a gun to theyr heard to do that - its up to them.

But by voicing an opinon that we WOULD like to get the advice and views on training , maybe they can realise something and step in slowly but surely and help out

You say your being REAL ? about what??? If youre talking about pro`s not helping out or giving their time to talk to us , then thats stupid.I would never thought i would get a chance to speak to pro`s and yet we can share our views and arguments everyday on the gossip board with them.So explain to me what you are being REAL about ???

Actually you may be surprised at what some of the pros know when it comes to training.Back in the 80's there was a magazine writer that was interviewing a Ms O I think it was.He had asked what she did for her arms She replied that she took a bar & lifted it up & down (barbell curls) which freaked the interviewer out.She didn't know any names for any of the exercises that she performed supposedly.The entire interview went that way according to the mag writer.The Ms O only did what her trainer showed her to do.A bunch of BS or no?Since it's from a magazine you have to wonder but does make a person go hmmmm.

Bring on the experts - and get rid of these morons

Pumpster - so how about you ALSO contribute instead of keep asking someone else to.

And if you ask me , if the head persons in charge of this site understand that ppl WANt to talk to pros/experts in regards to training , then THOSE in charge can relay the message to them and ask them to try to stop by now and then to contribute.Shawn Ray or any expert  is much more  likely to listen to Ron or someone else higher up ,rather than me

Pumpster and JPM are probably the most knowledgeable people on the subject of training that post regularly on the board. No offense to anyone else! Maybe studying routines of past greats from the 70's (where they supposedly all trained pretty similarly) might help you find a good routine.

He may verry well be,but thats not my case.I too know alot,so do you and evrybody else , bit i still would wanna ask pro`s/experts stuff.AND I WOULD KNOW THATS ITS COMING FROM A REPUTABLE SOURCE

Pumster chose to take an isolated/seldom case where a pro didnt know much and made it a norm and generalised it, so that we should assume that he or some other psn knows more.DUMB

Tired of him.

Luvspot : Please feel free to direct all you trainin queries to this pumpster guy.I wont, the way he carries himself puts me off from him.And then you wanna know why a person WONT put trust in what a person like this says.No thanks

She replied that she took a bar & lifted it up & down (barbell curls) which freaked the interviewer out.

This may sound ironic or stupid, but I think that's one of the most fundamental things to know about training.

For example: If you want to work lats, hang onto a bar and pull yourself up. For chest, lie down and push something in a straight line upwards. So simple, you don't even need names for the exercises! I mean, if everyone went and learnt something about how to stretch and contract each muscle, you wouldn't need any fancy names or anyone to teach you how to train, as you'd simply go by what contracts the muscle.

Agreed, it's easier to open a book of training exercises and go by that (hell, it's what I do), but I'm just saying that BBing doesn't need to be fancy names and things. You just find what works, by doing whatever it is.

The pro's can't give you any advice you can use unless you are on a ton of gear like they are, never read workouts in magazines by pro's and think you can handle that volume of sets unless you are on a ton of gear.

I thoroughly appreciate your input , well said.I also thought of that.But bear in mind , that training has sooo many aspects to it.Like i said before , that asking a Q about whats best for back detail , a pro can certainly provide answers.There are many questions like that.So we dont only have to say that they cant help us because we cant match their poundages.I think we`re smarter than that , that we can adjust the workouts accordingly

Pros on 1 side.The Experts i also speak about.What about them ? In fact experts even more can help us , because they are most knowledgeable

It's pretty obvious stuff that's said regularly in forums dude. Not even true if you knew better-drugs are not a factor in many aspects of training actually.

Get to work reading the links readily available online, or get in touch with some pros. So far you've said and shared absolutely ZERO of your own info, a horrible example for such a whiner.

Nope.

Well if you WANT to go down that route.Well athletes are sponsored by mags right ? They go on the boards and still give away the dirt and their opinions about things.Shouldnt they then save all their commments and opions and interviews for the mags who pay them , and then you can go out and BUY them mags.Why are you reading these opinions and interviews for free then ? You think MD wpouldnt want to give Lee`s response about the IFBBs offer in their mags , so that ppl can buy it and read it there ?

And then promise me this : if you ever meet a Pro , dont ever ask them anything in regards to training or their diet or anything.Hey you gotta PAY FOR THAT :) You especially

So, LoveTheSport?,...your trying to tell us you would pay a pro 100's of dollars an hour to train you even if they didn't know what the names of exercises were for particular body parts?The example I gave was of a Ms O w/multiple title wins.I would expect a person that represents the pinnacle of their profession to be able to tell me what a very basic exercise is & which muscle said exercise is meant to develop.Training, imo, in the method you stated is a very hit & miss style of training.Seen teens doing exactly that type of training & always at a loss to explain why they don't see any results.I myself would put experience (person training for x amount of yrs.) over a persons credentials (certified personal trainers).I have yet to see a person training for let's say 20 yrs. tell a person to do squats on a medicine ball like some certified trainers have been known to do.

Actually a couple of the Pro's I've met, watched some other Pro's and top dog BB'ers train and have heard about second hand are not always the best code source for knowledge and training advice. Because most all of them didn't have to make any major adjustments or follow any special diet plan when they first started lifting...they added muscle faster and got stronger with the basic stuff. Compounding this with increased use of, let's say, muscle building boosters, their natural potentional was greatly increased.  When they did reach monster size they would approach a experienced bb'ing trainer (or trainer approach them) to set up programs for refining  their bodies and prescribing a better mix of those muscle boosters. Once they get that Pro card, their training & diet programs are mapped out by the trainer or other people  who may have a interest in the BB'er. As well as the timing of muscle boosting joy juice cycles. From their point of first picking up a weight, at a young age, to their getting a Pro card, the easy gaining future Pro BB'er did not usually obtain the knowledge or experience of average BB'ers who must/had to study, struggle and try every workout under the sun for years to gain any respectable muscle mass. I would suggest that a lot of the Pro's are limited in workout knowlege with anything beyond lifting a weight up and down. If most people think a  Pro's hold the secret to the BB'ing world, these people  would be wrong.


But offering  another point of view here, BB'ing is pretty simple in reality. It's just BB'ing, not  rocket science.

I would hold more value in the knowlwdge and logic on progressive training offered from  succesful and experienced veteran BB'ers than just about anyone else. These veteran BB'ers don't consider themselves experts by any means. Just hardcore in their work and attitude towards BB'ing. And with volumes of hands on training experience. Good Luck.

Well said. The best thing is a pool of shared experience.

I'm just saying you don't have to know what an exercise is called (squats, bench press, etc) to know what can work a targetted area (e.g. lower chest). Some exercises don't even have names. You can walk into a gym without any knowledge of what an exercise is called but still be able to make gains by following what you know works the muscle. Having names makes it less barbaric when saying the exercise, but it's not necessary. Strange that even the trainer didn't know the name of it, but that's my point. Trainers don't really need much experience, as they have the knowledge that BBers need experience to get.

Well you can't work LOWER CHEST, you can't isolate a part of the chest, the chest is one big mo fo beefy muscle, when you work chest you don't work lower or upper chest , you simply work CHEST!  Anyone that does DECLINE bench by the way, that mainly hits your triceps, very little chest, stick to flat bench, incline bench, bar or DB, I prefer DB's on both myself.

Some buy into this wacky theory about being unable to hit different parts of a muscle when in fact it's quite obvious to most that it's easily done regardless of physiology. Decline presses & flys are excellent for lower chest.

I agree with this- you can hit the lower & upper chest with different movements- if you are working on a sit up chest machine (not sure what the term is), the area of your chest that you line the handles up with will be hit. I.e. if you sit higher and line the lower chest with the bar you'll hit the lower area more and the same with the upper chest/sit lower. This is something my personal trainer has taught me, and he definitely is a pro.

how many guys have you seen with the upper portion of chest overpowering the rest?

None...well, maybe franco.

That's because the muscle there generally doesn't get that big, not because of the exercises.

The upper pec section is the pectoral minor. The other,larger pec section is the pectoral major. That complete total pec area is called, in general terms, the chest. Franco had the full potentional of upper pec development. Very rare.  Most guy's don't have the angle, insert, genetic's to achieve the full development as Franco was blessed with. The lower pec's will dominate in size over the upper pec's by size and strength.

Of course the whole pec muscle structure (minor/major) will be call upon when doing the BP and any other pushing out and away from the body movement. They are designed to work with the anterior delts and triceps mainly. There can never be a complete isolation of one section of the pec's over another. That also goes with every other muscle group in the body. But you can focus more stress on one area and less on another with correct exercise selection. Example: Incline,(even front presses) upper. Declines & dips, lower. The flat BB bench is not the best pec exercise for most people who want great pec's. For a few luckly one's like Franco, yes. Good Luck.
