Lex have you ever heard of Marvin Eder?
And are you aware that he was one of the first ones to use a split routine?
Your thoughts on this......

Instead of going for sets of 10 with the same weight, add weight on each set and crank out less reps. Work down to a set of 4 or 5 reps with maximimum weight. Eat lots of protein. Pyramid your flat bench press and you'll have pecs like roast beeves.


a "revelation" of sorts...

Coach: the men from the fifties and sixties have better bodies than today. Mankind has not evolved in the last fifty years, so the techniques still work. Just because you flunked out od steroid based bodybuilding doesn't mean some of these guys shouldn't learn how to do it naturally and look like men. Do you really think Ronnie Coleman looks like a man?

Training hasn't evolved much either, they just train less and take more gear.

YOU train less and take more illegal drugs. Now you train nitwits who bash each others brains in with nada in their bank accounts. Get lost Coach, my threads are for winners.

"But someday".... I met him in person?
So what? Just like -almost- anybody else here I like to joke around, esp about self-proclaimed experts/gurus/masters/whatfuckingeverwannabees.

Any time you want to step in the gym and with me just let me know. Or do you just want to keep hiding behind that gimmick?

Marvin started Olympic lifting three days per week. Then bodybuilding three days per week. Then got caught up in a two on/one off routine, which I believe hampered his growth. The man also was benching over 500 lbs so I classify him as an exception. The average poor slob today has enough triuble getting up to 200 because they "hit chest" once a week.

Marvin himself has said that the split routine allowed him to hit that 500lb bench mark and 600lb squats for reps, and considering that he was the pound for pound strongest bodybuilder of his era at only 200lbs I would say he knew what he was doing and talking about.

Marvin is free to have his opinion, but he worked out for the bulk of his tenure three days a week then split routines for a short time before he started the plumbing business. Also note that he stopped working out altogether. Split routines have that effect. Stick to three days/golden six.

In a fight I'd drop you quickly. I'm a black belt in American Kenpo. I'm older now but could probably run circles around you in bench, squat, deadlift. I suggest you go read The Good Book and smarten up.

Dude, I'm seriously good with being a child. The second you act like an adult, I'm throughly convinced you cut your lifespan down. If I acted like an adult I couldn't train the way I do nor could I keep up with the high school or college kids I train on a field. I'd be......like you!
