Stupid bodybuilding shit you used to believe
Bulking
Testosterone boosters
Squatting is a requirement
Steroids are stupid expensive
Creatine
Big traps look stupid
I could go on.
-
I always thought most of them are closet homos...
oh wait
-
What's wrong with bulking
offseason drugged and somewhat lean/jacked up good,natural/clean no aspirations to compete 'bad'
-
Big traps look stupid... when you don't have a good pair of delts
-
The articles that were supposed to be written by athletes..
All it was ... was bunch of ghost riders :(
-
Low reps = mass
High reps = cuts

Looking "big" in clothes is important
"Weight gainers"
"Steriod like" supplements
Bodybuilders use the supplements that they hawk.
It isn't gay
"Genetics"

its lightweight and yelling it
walking around/resting/phsyching up for few reps and quickly jotting down in notebook ..

Weider principles
Magazine articles on training
"Gain an inch on arms in 24 hours"
Christ, this is cathartic.

Sadly, I still log my training. It's a form of bodybuilding OCD.

Everything. I do use it as reference to gauge my progress.

ANABOLIC WINDOW
Holy shit, I can't believe I forgot that one. It still permeates my training/eating habits >:(

"im natural"

Ever heavier weights is the only way to grow

if it works good for u..i never used one...diet wise yes..

Like I said, it's a OCD thing. For diet, I can eyeball my food and get it to 100-200 cals.
-
"Bombing, blitzing and terrorizing your calves" (or any muscle/group for that matter.
That the "champs" are "genetic marvels" when all they are (especially the last couple of decades worth) is stupid people too lazy to do anything but have sex with strange men for drug money and lift some weight. Without their drugs, they are nothing. For proof look at Dillett and Prince. For that matter look at Bill Pettis! He doesn't even have a van down by the ocean but instead a park bench! For the van part look at Charles Glass.
That supplements work. Food works. Good healthy food with rest and exercise works. Drugs work and in doing so make the food, rest and exercise work all the better. I remember guys that relied on supplements. I pointed out the term itself indicates they were meant to supplement a healthy diet, not replace it.
That Joe Weider was heterosexual. Please...Jerimiah Johnson's beard wasn't as thick as Betty Weider on Joe.

Same. I'm even pretty accurate for foods I've never had before. It's an interesting skill to have
-
Wait...wut?
I would have zero appetite after running races, and I would force myself to eat afterwards. Once I found out that the anabolic window is a myth, I no longer had to force feed myself.

Having seen even my heroes at the original Gold's in Venice and knowing (because they told me) that drugs really work, I knew there was more.
Guys did nothing for work and yet had condos and corvettes. I asked and found out from a few of them that they let old men "fondle" them for cash and gifts. Hmmmmm...Is not a top champ now called, "The Gift"? ::) ;D
So much of bodybuilding was and still is a farce. A façade. But in the seventies among themselves and even toward a relative newcomer such as myself, they were honest about it when asked. It broke my naïve little world a bit, but it wasn't nearly as bad as learning my dad was Santa Claus.
Talk about a tough "present" on your 18th birthday. I was devastated.
;D

here's my list of what I used to believe
genetics
attacked by ninjas
getting extra blood for bigger muscles
naturally a big guy
switching to monkey grip and having the wrists in differend angle in cable cross helps to get better definition to the chest
225lbs deadlift for 112 reps
doing very slow reps with very light weight builds muscle

Odd, I still believe its down to genetics.

The Flex magazine photoshoot weights were real

Yes, but it's "response to gear" genetics rather than "naturally build muscle" genetics.

genetics definitely help, but when it comes to putting your work in and having that tunnel vision has only got to do with you and what you do, I think

Yes, thats my interpretation of what 'Genetics' means as well.

Some test boosters do work
squatting is not a requirement if you are a lazy ass who wants to look like johnny bravo
creatine works dumbass
Please dont go on cause it looks like your IQ is dropping by the minute.

Some people are genetically better made to lift weights, bone structure/natural BF % but at the end of the day you can only do so much, some guys are naturally gifted and look great natty then use gear and dont look that much better on them.
Others look like shit and transform themselves with drugs.

That I could compete completely natural.

I absolutely agree. My bone structure is made for playing piano :D

Tren will make you go bald..maybe I'm just lucky
-
-That I could develop a natural 20" arm.
-Drugs are the "finishing touch"
-Your diet has to be 110% clean
-Supplements other than Creatine and certain vitamins
I don't understand what some people are saying about genetics, that's a real thing. Some people look like shit no matter what they do.

No matter how you train or what you eat winstrol-v will rip you to shreds... ::)

1) You need to eat six meals per day.
2) Nutrient combining (eg, fats and protein or carbs and protein at meals only)
3) Carbs at night are bad.
4) Bodybuilders wrote their own articles.
5) Bulking up leads to quicker muscular gains.
6) Top pro bodybuilders and all gurus are loaded (eg, Shawn Ray standing in front of mansions in magazines, Flex Wheeler leaning on luxury cars, Trevor Smith boasting about his business when he didn't have much money)
7) Supplement claims of all sorts.
8) One can gain 20 or more pounds of muscle in a single season.
9) Ernie Taylor's triceps were all muscle.
10) I thought that Ronnie Coleman actually did regular police work with his 300 pound body that had to be fed every few hours and that couldn't wear a bullet proof vest.
11) I thought the claims that every other pro was headed to the NFL until they got a career ending injury and then during rehab, fell in love with the weights, and from then decided to set their sights on becoming an IFBB pro. I heard this goddamn story over and over.
12) Different carbs had different effects on body composition, even when kept constant (eg, brown rice is "better" than white rice).

anyone actually knows what they're talking about

No man 2 cc of tren won't get you a pro card man. What are you gonna do when you turn pro.
Looks down at 3 cc of tren. Guess I'm gonna a go and do 3 now old sport :)

Trenbolona: "abs in a bottle"

That women love gargantuan muscles and getting a massive physique makes you a pussy magnet.

Wait...you mean that isn't true?

Everybody has a "friend" that is twice as big as you...
If you hold the barbell a certain way, you are able to squeeze out a few extra reps on the bench press...
IFBB pros eat in excess of 6-8,000 calories daily...

X2, it will only get you bimbos, creeepy schmoes, and dirty sluts. Which by Getbig standards

Oh boy, where do I begin?
Anabolic Window
You have to eat a shitload of calories to be huge "this statement has created more fat permabulkers than anything else, way over simplified"
You can be as big as a pro bodybuilder without steroids, it just takes more time
Listen to your body/instinctive training
The key to great abs is lots of ab work
ANY OTC supplement with the possible exceptions of high quality protein powder, pre workout stimulants, creatine, and amino acids.
Steroids don't actually do anything, it's mostly mental and you train harder "Yes, if you remember the media briefly tried this tactic to try to stop steroid use"
The more you take, the more you will grow. "Only true to a certain point"
Genetics don't matter, it's all about the training and supplements
You have to do squats, deadlifts, bench whatever to have huge "whatever muscle group"
Steroids are deadly, turn you into a madman and shrink your dick
Light weight will get you more "toned" while heavy weight will get you huge
Incline press focuses mainly on the upper chest
I can go on.
-
The saying "Stretching the muscle fascia" was really big a few years ago, and then went out of style. But, everything else has been said.

Maturity/Quality is real after 2 decades training the muscle looks like something you can't get after 2 years

Meal timing
Gylcemic Index
A gram of Brotein per lb of bodyweight
DoggCrapp's dangerous bullshit about ''train heavy to get big''. I remember benching 365 for 8 and wondering why I didn't look as big as young Steven Cocklow did, I was doing the same weight as his youtube video and taking in my massive amount of True Protein. Maybe it was because I didn't do my Extreme Stretches and used the wrong ratio of casein to Ion Filtered Whey in my custom TP blend.
GH/t3/Igf/whatever 'gets you lean while eating pizzas and ice cream'
SubQ is DANGEROUS and bro u get absess if u dont injec in2 mussle and that gear is wasted!!

Definition of calorie: the energy needed to raise the temperature of 1 kg of water through 1 degree celsius.
Care to tell us otherwise?

bullshit, lies, mistruths and other such things. oddly enough most of them are diet related w training coming a close second.
- the anabolic window. nuff said.
- you'll lose muscle if you fast
- you'll lose muscle if you do fasted cardio
- you need a calorie surplus to gain muscle
- some proteins are better than others.
- if you combine carbs and fats in the same meal you'll get fat. no, if you over eat you'll get fat.
- you can't train too much you'll over train.
- you need to eat every 2 hrs to stay 'anabolic'
- if you do too much cardio you'll lose tissue/ impair growth
- your CNS will fry if you train too much. lol
- you need 'clean calories' to lose weight /you need 'clean calories' to gain lean tissue / garbage cals = garbage body
- the bigger the deficit the more tissue you'll lose when dieting
- the 'studies and science' behind bbing
- 1600mgs a week of deca and eq will create the '80's look'
- bigger is better.
- you need 8 hrs sleep a night for optimal growth
- chicks don't like big guys
- you can't stay on tren year round.
- more anabolics = better body
- there are hyper responders. guys who can take miniscule amts and look amazing. however the majority of guys are floating in anabolics and gh.
- it's a healthy lifestyle and big guys are cool. hahaha fuck thats the biggest lie ever. fuck bbing is seedy and full of g4p and prostitution. full of insecure bozos w dysmorohias/ disorders who use anabolics and size to make up for what they lack in personality.

Same here. :)
To this day it makes no sense. They threw off his symmetry, and he scored lower as a result. That's mostly why I bought it. Just figured, why on earth would the guy consistently do something that hurt his placings?

- 1600mgs a week of deca and eq will create the '80's look'
Lol I've heard this a couple of times... "The 80s look"...
"Clean bulk"
Muscle confusion
Squatting makes you short/basketball makes you tall
-
when Contest dieting :
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day
You have to eat every 2 to 3 hours otherwise you'll lose muscle
you have to cut out bread, diary and fruit
You have to cut out creatine and all shakes and ONLY eat whole food
You have to eat "clean"
You have to cut out coffee/caffiene
You have to cut down sodium
prolonged Keto dieting without weekly carb refeeds

You are going to Hell, Ronan(?).

Hell is for christians and the like.
Jesus said pick up a stone there I AM. God is everywhere and in everything, not just once visited to earth by Jesus two thousand years ago. The face of Christ is everywhere and in everything, the mountains, seas and forests, the animals and all the human faces you meet however distorted by suffering and ignorance.
The kingdom of god is within you, realize it through deep stillness and self surrender then you will know how Jesus felt inside himself.

Most BB myths have already been mentioned.
One other I used to believe is that muscle shape can be changed depending on the exercise performed.
I used to do standing bicep barbell curls for "mass" and concentration curls to help build that bicep "peak".

I used to believe that Ron Avidan was a sports photographer
-
- one set to failure is enough
- bulking while i was already fat
- steroid are just the finishing touch

Going catabolic if you don't eat every few hours.
Training each body part only once per week.
-
If you don't use it you lose it.

Way too many to list. Here are a few.
1. Bulking then getting ripped. I believed this for decades. I regret every minute of drinking gain weight shakes.
2. Supplements
3.Giving credit to steroid users when 6 months clean looked like they never worked out in their life.
4. Girls like steroid bodybuilders. Yes, some do but the majority of hot chicks will actual like a soccer guy physique. You just have to be in shape.
5. When I was young I thought bodybuilders could fight just because they did body part training.
6. I use to believe bodybuilders in the 70's and early 80's were paid to be bodybuilders. Then I learned many were being paid by gay guys. Some were paid so heavily they could afford to buy gyms.
7. The champs in the magazines always trained with heavy weights. Then from watching some champs and hearing first hand accounts that they actually trained fast with light to moderate weights.
8. This is a big one. All the champs that Jones, Darden and the rest of the HIT crowd said are the result of HIT training. They would take a volume champ like Sergio Oliva. Have him come to Florida for a couple of weeks and pay him heavily. Then claim him as a success. Oliva trained his whole career with volume prior to going to Florida and after. Viator trained for his greatest condition with 15 sets a body part in the 80's that was witnessed by David Young. Joe Means who was the poster boy for the Nautilus book trained with volume. Darden's big selling books were filled with picture after picture of volume trainers.
9. I still can't shake this one. Always trying to lift heavier weights during a training cycle.
10. You look good in clothes when you are a perma bulker. Maybe, but when you take off the shirt the little lean guy will make you look like crap.
11. There are secret techniques to be learned. There are no secrets.

Frankly, the most valuable thing I've learned here is that steroids works. Being a lifetime natural with no intention of changing my status, I have to fully embrace my twink status. So be it.
-
Training variation (mix it up once in a while)
Protein (not too much)
Steroids work
Rest
Once a week cheat meal (I am still on the fence with this one)
Hydration
Conditioning over cardio

Conventional Last week hit and miss voodoo – “Depleting carbs, then overload, and finally stop drinking to "dry out" Unless your goal is to look your worst on contest day. i.e. small, flat, and saggy with less muscle separation and no vascularity or ability to get a muscle pump then do that…But, don’t worry; the day after the show you’ll look amazing and want to give it another shot! :D

I still believe Arnold when he says he is in heaven
It's as satisfying to me as, uh, coming is, you know? As, ah, having sex with a woman and coming. And so can you believe how much I am in heaven? I am like, uh, getting the feeling of coming in a gym, I'm getting the feeling of coming at home, I'm getting the feeling of coming backstage when I pump up, when I pose in front of 5,000 people, I get the same feeling, so I am coming day and night. I mean, it's terrific. Right? So you know, I am in heaven

great thread idea.
- at the end of the day genetic response in terms of response to anabolics will determine your finished product in terms of your body. genetics is a huge advantage. HOWEVER. see next point.
- the harder you train the better you look, and you can create density. if you do get dealt a shit hand in the genetics dept i believe you can still build a fantastic physique w dedication, time in, and discipline.
- bbing can be a healthy pursuit if you chose it to be. or you can flood your body w chemicals and have it not work out so well.
- being 'big' gives you social advantages over those who do not train. if you handle yourself with class and talk to people with respect, you'd be surprised how much people will gravitate to you.
- it keeps you 'young'. when i see guys my age who dont train, they look broken down, tired, and unhealthy. those who dont usually engage in some form of strenuous physical activity.
- you dont need to mega dose to look great, or build a great physique. in fact a lot of times with just some time in and patience the low dose user will have a better more appealing physique at the end of the day than the boat loader. you pay for all those mgs as you get older. pre mature aging. pushing to far past genetic thresholds makes it harder to look 'good' after.
- you get out exactly what you put in. half ass your training, you'll get half assed results. the harder you push, the better you become.

Squats make your upper body grow.
You can get a "six pack" by doing sit-ups/ab work
You can retain some of the muscle/strength you gained on steroids if you train hard after stopping the drugs.
Getting a good "pump" during a work-out means you are training effectively.
A pro bodybuilder who built his physique with drugs is more knowledgeable than a natural who built lots of muscle drug-free.
A bodybuilder/lifter needs more protein than the average Man.

There is nothing to believe in bodybuilding.
Many reps and many sets and don't fool yourself with excuses. High carbs is a must. This is the only thing that works.

Not eating the egg yolk, has to be the dumbest fucking myth.

ya I agree w the intensity and quality of training for sure. look at poor borat- sparky the guru clearly said he believes in doing as little as possible in the gym and it certainly shows in 'quality' of borats physique. the dildo pumped him w mgs he didn't need of the wrong anabolics, put him on a weak and lazy training routine and now everyone is asking 'where's the beef?' lol there ain't no beef cause you gotta create the environment for the anabolics to truly manifest the desired result(s).
as for the quality of nutrition I believe in this too but I can't state I think to create muscle and to lose fat there are good carbs and bad carbs. I think they are all created equal. they have nothing to do with hypertrophy. they are strictly a fuel based nutrient. now do I believe some carbs burn better for performance? absolutely. but to lose fat or gain muscle the 'quality' of the carb is neither here nor there.
I put fats ahead of carbs and protein in the quality argument. I think some fats are better than others. I think all protein just like carbs will be used by your body the same regardless of quality.

btw do I feel better when I eat clean foods? ya man. of course I do. but is feeling better mentally or even physically a key component in creating muscle?
I think that's where the root of the argument lies for me.

Original Hot Stuff. To an extent, original Met-Rx, too.

I still believe in:
1. Sticking to the basics: ie- free weights, compound movements-(especially for back)
2. If trying to gain mass at least 1 gram per pound
3. Creatine works
4. Diet is key in all endeavors (bulking,cutting, carb counting sugar counting)
5. Post workout shake

I can lose weight while eating junk and being in a calorie deficit.
However I feel much better eating clean and limiting junk to once per week.
This in turn helps me train harder so has an indirect effect on how I look.

eating a lot of calories, life is beautiful, sex is great, there is hope in the world
eating lots of protein and carbs but no calories, you want to kill anyone in the gym, you hate women, and you hate yourself

Manfred Hoeberl's "10 Minutes To Massive Arms". He just failed to mention that you inject copious amounts of Synthol in your arms.
-
Flex's '93 O pics say differently.
Flex had been training at least a decade then and if he hadn't pumped himself with so much oil and fucked his organs his quality would have been far greater ten years later again
-
Way too many to list. Here are a few.
1. Bulking then getting ripped. I believed this for decades. I regret every minute of drinking gain weight shakes.
2. Supplements
3.Giving credit to steroid users when 6 months clean looked like they never worked out in their life.
4. Girls like steroid bodybuilders. Yes, some do but the majority of hot chicks will actual like a soccer guy physique. You just have to be in shape.
5. When I was young I thought bodybuilders could fight just because they did body part training.
6. I use to believe bodybuilders in the 70's and early 80's were paid to be bodybuilders. Then I learned many were being paid by gay guys. Some were paid so heavily they could afford to buy gyms.
7. The champs in the magazines always trained with heavy weights. Then from watching some champs and hearing first hand accounts that they actually trained fast with light to moderate weights.
8. This is a big one. All the champs that Jones, Darden and the rest of the HIT crowd said are the result of HIT training. They would take a volume champ like Sergio Oliva. Have him come to Florida for a couple of weeks and pay him heavily. Then claim him as a success. Oliva trained his whole career with volume prior to going to Florida and after. Viator trained for his greatest condition with 15 sets a body part in the 80's that was witnessed by David Young. Joe Means who was the poster boy for the Nautilus book trained with volume. Darden's big selling books were filled with picture after picture of volume trainers.
9. I still can't shake this one. Always trying to lift heavier weights during a training cycle.
10. You look good in clothes when you are a perma bulker. Maybe, but when you take off the shirt the little lean guy will make you look like crap.
11. There are secret techniques to be learned. There are no secrets.
Here's a true one.
Natural bodybuilders are more insecure and hatful than Steroid using bodybuilders
-
Squats make your upper body grow.
You can get a "six pack" by doing sit-ups/ab work
You can retain some of the muscle/strength you gained on steroids if you train hard after stopping the drugs.
Getting a good "pump" during a work-out means you are training effectively.
A pro bodybuilder who built his physique with drugs is more knowledgeable than a natural who built lots of muscle drug-free.
A bodybuilder/lifter needs more protein than the average Man.
This is comical.
You think you have learned something, but you are buying into very stupid claims.
Let me explain.
Squats do increase strength in the whole back, would you agree that the back is part of the upper body?
Because, it is, unless you are of the knuckle dragging species.
You can get a six pack by training abs, what muscles are trained when you train the abs?
Yes, the abs. Untrained abs will be smaller and less likely press through fat layers.
Thick abs will show even at higher body fat levels, compared to untrained abs.
You can retain a small bit.
Especially if you don't rely on drugs and only run moderate cycles. Ask around, i am not sure whether you have trained long enough or at all to know this.
Are you saying a training without a pump will be just as good as one with a pump?
Do you realize one big difference of natural to steroids user is the pump and all the associated benefits which come with it?
First, there is no natural with "lots" of muscle.
There is only people who lie and people who look "lot" of muscle when covered in 4 sweaters to the newcomers blind eyes ( like yours ).
The bigger guy obviously knows how he got there, it doesn't matter how he's done it, because the smaller guy cannot know, as he never "walked in the bigger guys shoes".
Even a marathon runner needs more protein than a non sporty person.
Weight lifters have higher protein requirements than non trainees, this is not up to negotiation, this has been scientifically proven and been peer reviewed over and over.
If you can prove otherwise, i suggest you go collect your nobel prize.
Are you a scientist?
Do you even lift?
-
"Bombing, blitzing and terrorizing your calves" (or any muscle/group for that matter.
That the "champs" are "genetic marvels" when all they are (especially the last couple of decades worth) is stupid people too lazy to do anything but have sex with strange men for drug money and lift some weight. Without their drugs, they are nothing. For proof look at Dillett
The people you see on the olympia stage are genetic marvels, they are 1 in 1000.
If they were not, you could stand there in the call outs with them.

at the time.. well, around 97/98 it was supposedly some miracle site-injection crap that would cause actual growth.
what it did, was give you horrible abdominal craps and make you shit your brains out about 25mins post injection.... and a very sore injection site. lol

i believed that shit as well for many years.
the only year i could maybe see his getting it would be '99... and that's just because i think his arms were about as good as i'll ever see. ever... heath included. i don't care if it was site injection or not.. shape-wise, i think you couldn't draw a better comic book picture.
but his back was horribly thin.. as was his chest... detailed, sure, but disappeared with arms up and from the side.

Jesus said pick up a stone there I AM. God is everywhere and in everything, not just once visited to earth by Jesus two thousand years ago. The face of Christ is everywhere and in everything, the mountains, seas and forests, the animals and all the human faces you meet however distorted by suffering and ignorance.
The kingdom of god is within you, realize it through deep stillness and self surrender then you will know how Jesus felt inside himself.

1) Train low reps, moderate reps, and high reps. Use all the energy systems. Not necessarily in each and every workout though.
2) Don`t train too long, 45 minutes to an hour is fine
3) Have a rep or two in you before ending most sets. Train hard, but don`t burn your body out.
4) Vary your exercises. Injury reduction, less joint pain.
5) No lifts behind the neck. Your shoulders will thank you.
6) No hack squats, bad for knees. Some people are not meant to squat, period. Test yourself with the bar and check your form.
7) Deload every 5th week, reduce volume and intensity for 2 weeks.
8) When you train correctly your appetite will rise, and your food will be used effectively. If you train wrong, your muscles will be flat regardless of nutrition.
9) Use intensity techniques sparingly. Sure stuff like supersets work, but too much of a good thing will throw you into reverse gear.
10) Work the forearms. It is the only thing fully showing most of the time
11) Beware of overhead lifts. If you do them keep the reps low, weight moderate and form perfect. Your back will thank you.
-
Matt Porter coached you yeah? I mind him posting this pic on facebook saying he had you on high carbs by mistake for a week and it made you look even better.
Yeah, at 2 weeks out I though Matt (via e mail) meant for me to stay on my "high day" macros for 7 days: MACRO TOTALS: 288p - 418c - 24f - It turned out to not really be a big a problem though as I was already ahead of schedule and 100% shredded already so just filled out a few kg's of glycogen/water, To get my weight down a week out Matt dropped me to TOTALS: 421 55 29 ..had me do THREE (3) TWENTY (20) MINUTE INTERVAL SESSIONS spaced apart each day (INTENSE) for (Sun, Mon, tues)

Yeah, at 2 weeks out I though Matt (via e mail) meant for me to stay on my "high day" macros for 7 days: MACRO TOTALS: 288p - 418c - 24f - It turned out to not really be a big a problem though as I was already ahead of schedule and 100% shredded already so just filled out a few kg's of glycogen/water, To get my weight down a week out Matt dropped me to TOTALS: 421 55 29 ..had me do THREE (3) TWENTY (20) MINUTE INTERVAL SESSIONS spaced apart each day (INTENSE) for (Sun, Mon, tues)

I have no idea what you are talking about.

That if you need more deltoids, you just do more exercises and slap those deltoids on. Like sculptors with clay.

11) "I thought the claims that every other pro was headed to the NFL until they got a career ending injury and then during rehab, fell in love with the weights, and from then decided to set their sights on becoming an IFBB pro. I heard this goddamn story over and over."
What position were all those 5'6" bodybuilders going to play ?
There is a former pro football player who apparently did get injured and now he is bodybuilder. There was a thread about him a few years ago.

useless to count calories after 3k unless you're a dinosaur
don't count carbs, just eat them
don't count proteins just eat them

1) Train low reps, moderate reps, and high reps. Use all the energy systems. Not necessarily in each and every workout though.
2) Don`t train too long, 45 minutes to an hour is fine
3) Have a rep or two in you before ending most sets. Train hard, but don`t burn your body out.
4) Vary your exercises. Injury reduction, less joint pain.
5) No lifts behind the neck. Your shoulders will thank you.
6) No hack squats, bad for knees. Some people are not meant to squat, period. Test yourself with the bar and check your form.
7) Deload every 5th week, reduce volume and intensity for 2 weeks.
8) When you train correctly your appetite will rise, and your food will be used effectively. If you train wrong, your muscles will be flat regardless of nutrition.
9) Use intensity techniques sparingly. Sure stuff like supersets work, but too much of a good thing will throw you into reverse gear.
10) Work the forearms. It is the only thing fully showing most of the time
11) Beware of overhead lifts. If you do them keep the reps low, weight moderate and form perfect. Your back will thank you.

care to get a little deeper here?
why would my muscle be flat regardless of nutrition?
what is too much of a good thing, and how will it throw me into a reverse gear?

stimulate, dont aninhalate

bullshit, lies, mistruths and other such things. oddly enough most of them are diet related w training coming a close second.
- you can't stay on tren year round.
So what about that you need to change compound after time becouse body get used to for example tren after few weeks and you won't be see any benefits?

milos' advocates (or did at one time) changing certain drugs every 3-5 weeks.

If you train properly, cycling intensity, training all your body's energy system, de-loading, ect, you should have a strong healthy appetite. You eat well, and your muscles are full, and the energy lasts. If you train improperly, your appetite goes. Try to force the good nutrition in and you may notice more fat around the stomach increasing, bigger shits, overall smoothness in the rest of the body. Your muscles will lack that pop. Observe guys doing a a shitty workout like superslow reps, heavy duty style, once every 5-7 days, heavy all the time, and you'll see that the body flattens out. When you are sick how well does your body take in food. Overstress has a similar effect.
Too much of a good thing can throw you in reverse gear if you are over trained, and super high intensity techniques can push you to that edge. Mind you, most people who claim to be over trained aren't over trained at all. They are training incorrectly.

And I still believe this, unless you have Frank McGrath-pythons. Weak forearms look pathetic.

First time I've ever complained about the moderating here, but these were two different threads.
Makes no sense to merge them.
