I honestly feel sorry for you. A part of me enjoys picking on your fragile ego and tossing it into the virtual paper shredder but then I consider that there's people who actually have to interact with you in real-life and it makes me feel even more sorry for them. Your worthless existence thereby extends its mediocrity to other people and lowers their quality of life as well. Talk about selfish. I think your saving grace is that your identity basically revolves around the circumference of your right arm.

Reaching critical mass now.....LOL.

You're not even trying anymore. My work here's done.

See you next week for your regular ego whipping.

Groink is like "I am a convict and do shitty manual labour job but I built decent physique over 20 years of steroid abuse so I am more than entitled to give an opinion about training".

He's got one of the best physiques on this site, at an age where most men look like utter shit.

Why wouldn't he be qualified?

Bullcrap.

Effervescent ,

Bragging about your build while on steroids is just silly and means nothing. Let's see what your build was before steroids. Bragging about pressing four plates on a hammer strength means nothing. Let's see what you can press on a real free weight incline. I thought so. Also if every muscle in your body is working while your pressing 4 plates on the hammer strength then I imagine it may be too much weight for you.

There is a real difference in how the body mechanic works with free weights as opposed to machines hammerstrength and or cables. Hammer strength machines are great yet not a true test of one's real power or strength same for cables or machines. They work in a fixed track that takes the stabilizer muscles that harnessed for balance. This is why good powerlifters are so thick and masive, they have built not only the major muscle groups but all secondary as well.
   So back to the pump question. Try this one out. Perform fairly heavy bent over barbell rows in your best form for as many sets and reps until good form is hard to do. Then proceed to either the flat barbell bench press or incline press with a fairly heavy weight in the same fashion. Rest no more than one min between your sets. You will be pumped up like king fuck.ing Kong. Every muscle in your upper body will be engorged and rammed full of blood.

Your muscles dont know the difference between a round weight on a bar, or a square weight on a cable. They know how to contract.

If I'm pushing up 4 plates a side on the hammer strength incline...every muscle in my body is contracting.  Even my "stabilizing muscles".....fucking idiots....LOLOLOL  ::)

And this is why you have shit forearms.
