I know it's bodybuilding, it's why they weren't doing power cleans.

I also know that it's like Haney said "stimulate, don't annihilate".
But these pros can stimulate their muscles well, or should be able to with 140lb dumbells instead of the 90s they were using.

Ron Coleman did 200s, but that's just for show.  I doubt he did that kind of weight every week.

OK......FOR THE LAST FUCKING TIME.......WEIGHT USED IN TRAINING IS IRRELEVENT.....FOR CHRIST SAKE....WAKE UP AND SMELL THE COFEE......WHY ARE THESE YOUNGSTERS SO SURE THAT EXTREMELY HEAVY POUNDAGE IS NEEDED. ARNOLD NEVER ROWED WITH MORE THAN 185.....HANEY NEVER ROWED WITH MORE THAN 185-225......YATES NEVER INCLINED MORE THAN 405-425.....MANY OTHER PROS USED MORE THAN HIM.....BUT HE HAD THE PEC DEVELOPMENT.

JAY USES HEAVY WEIGHT AT TIMES.....BUT HEAVY FOR HIM....NOT TO BEAT PERSONAL RECORDS IN THE GYM.....MANY TIMES HE SQUATS WITH 405.....BUT HAS OVER 30 INCH QUADS.


ROBBY ROBINSON HAD SENSATIONAL BIS.....HE USED MODERATE WEIGHTS.....JUST A FEW EXAMPLES FOR SOME OF YOU BLOKES THAT STILL DON'T UNDERSTAND THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN POWERLIFTING AND BODYBUILDING.....PLEASE GET YOUR HEAD OUT OF YOUR ASS!

I can do several sets of 125 dumbells on the flat bench at 10 - 12 reps no problem, bitch weight honestly.  They weren't even doing that! 

If they were doing weight that they could only get 6 reps out of, yeah drop the weight down.  If they can handle it, they should do it.  That's all I'm saying.

I'm not bragging by any means lol.  I was just using an example, 125 dumbbells is nothing to brag about.
What you read in the magazines is only 15 percent of the truth so no I don't read that crap.  I'm just an advocate of hard work.

Again, if you can lift it, why not.  What you see a lot of times these days are lazyass bodybuilders getting away with doing the least amount of work.
Doing the least amount of work is enough these days, if you're on a heavy cycle, which these fellas are.

Why do that (and risk injury) when it's not necessary?  This sport is all about show--not substance.  Remember when your bubble was burst when you found out that many photo shoots involve the use of fake weights?  Now, think about site injections and all the other "untruths" that surround this 'sport'.  Remember, it is all for show!  And there is nothing wrong with that... as long as you realize that is, in fact, what it is.

Yeah, this was from 2000. Boys were getting ready for the Olympia. This was also the time when Nasser's physique began to fade away. He still was able to beat Priest, Ruhl and Cutler and was fifth at the Olympia but you could see that he was a shadow of his former self.

I stay away from discussing training, because it leads to nowhere. One guy spends so much time in the gym doing what he thinks is right. After devoting so much time and attention to this,how would he ever think his method isnt right? The answer is never.

But think about this. grab 2 identical twins for 1 year. Have one bench 135 for whatever reps as long as he's 'feeling' the muscle and pumping blood into it. Then take the other twin and get his bench from 135 to 315. With identical genetics and diets, who do you think will get bigger by the end of that year?

I remember the last time I looked at a bodybuilding mag(I think it was flex) I was reading bout some pros training routine, and all he talked about was getting a pump. Pump this pump that. Turn the page and theres a 2 page add for superpump. coincidence?

These pros all had a base of strength training. And these are the elite when it comes to genetics, training,diet, rest. So stop comparing yourself to Lee Haney. The average gym rat who wants to get big should focus on strength.

And this whole 'avoiding' injury is a crock of shit and you know it! Most of the injuries you see happen during light or warm up sets, or when doing something stupid.

Sorry I just find it amusing someone bases their training on a few elite bodybuilders and what they were doing when they reached their size limit.
Of course 300 lb Jay Cutler isnt going to squat 600 lbs. Thats not his goal anymore.

Ok guys I'm going to take my supplement stack then rep out 1,000 curls with 5lb db's. I'm sure if I pump enough blood in there they'll just blow up.  ::)

Post by: kh300 on June 09, 2011, 10:09:12 AM
Yes you need to use good form. If pumping blood into a muscle has any effect on growth, then curling 5lbs for a 1,000 reps will pump in a lot of blood, correct?

Now you say moderate weight. Which is different for everyone, so I'll assume it's 10-15 rep range to failure. Can you honestly tell me that If I use good form with 225 on the bench for 10 good reps, It wont make a difference if I use 315 for 10 good reps?

If your playing the size game you need to add weight to the bar. The best programs are based around the principle of progression. But thats just my opinion. Go ahead and do what a pro does who has 20 years lifting experience, who already has enough size, who pays a mortgage to his drug supplier.

Bro......all i am saying is that you use a weight that is moderate for you....might be 275... might be 315.....everyone has different strength levels......if heavier is the best way to grow....then tell me why powerlifters look so much different than bbers.....moderate weight can be made to feel challenging if execute the lift in the proper fashion.....you guys make this stuff so hard.....keep it simple.....8-9-10-11 reps are the best reps to grow......co-ordinate the weight of your choice to those reps.....3-4-5 reps are better for strength gains.....if you want hypertrophy......focus on slightly higher reps.....all the while making sure to get a nice pump and avoid injuries.....all i am saying is this plain and simple. Train your muscles not your ego.....avoid tears and strains and feel the muscle working......time under tension is key. Over and out. I said nothing about 135 benches or 5 pound db curls......kids just trying to get a whitty debate going here......keep it simple and stay away from poundages that work tendons and not muscles.

Huge bodybuilders should train with huge weights, period. If they become huge without the use of considerable resistance, it's testament their to abuse of chemicals/hormones and genetics that respond well to such cocktails.

powerlifters rep ranges are different than bodybuilders,usually triples at the most.if they train like bodybuilders at all,it is to build up a specific musclegroup,to help out a sticking pt. in a lift,or for rehab or prehab,also the ones that look like bodybuilders it is usually,gentics,or the fact they train like a bodybuilder in their offseason,or the very few that really pay attention to nutrition.

ffs dude, he's saying that, for bodybuilding purposes, you use weights you can easily control for slightly higher reps and ensure you're feeling the muscle.  He's not saying to try to build up an insane amount of lactic acid, he's not saying avoid the fast twitch, he's not saying never progress... all he's saying is that you don't use the heaviest weights possible.  As you approach the heaviest weight you can use, your form starts to break down and the body behaves differently, doing everything in its power to ensure the weight goes up.  This is what you want to avoid -- you want to have total control over the weight and feel the target muscles getting hit.

If you can do 315 on bench for five reps, all out, completely balls to the wall, blood pressure through the roof etc, and progress to 320 lbs in a month, 325 the next month, etc. do you really think that if you stick to 225-275 and get 10 reps smooth, perfect reps, getting a huge pump, you somehow all of a sudden are magically not going to be able to add those same five lbs a month and progress, all the while putting way less strain on your connective tissues?

Willie said weight is irrelevant. Then he tries to support his argument by using some of the greatest bodybuilders to ever grace this earth as his examples.

As far as your second point. I wont argue. You could very well grow from either method. Maybe my point got lost because I had to defend other training methods. But, the point I was trying to make is that there is no one way to lift. But Willie decided that his methods are the be all end all, and anyone who trains differently 'doesnt get it'

To the contrary, anyone who has spent time in the gym knows that we all have to figure out what is best for our own unique bodies, and ignore the ignorance of what the 'experts' tell us.

sorry dude... Weight does matter. It is relevent. The only reason these pros weigh 300lbs while training with moderate weights are the chemicals. Thats it.

If you are natural; train heavy and always seek to get stronger
