Any good bodybuilder doesn't get caught up in any one excersise, or number.I can use any type of means to achieve the same result....ultimately, you're looking to break down muscle by lifting weights...I don't care if the weights are freeweight, machine, cement, or two 5 gal. paint buckets with a broomstick through the middle...Deadlifts , bench press, squats, etc...are all great exercises...if used correctly and smartly. Ironically, it's the pursuit of lifting MORE weight that has resulted in LESS people getting to their goals as a bodybuilder.TRAIN SMARTER, NOT HARDER.
Good for them...and others don't. And some guys have never done either...the point is, there are no absolutes in BB.
I've seen more careers ruined with that one simple exercise, than all the others combined x 10.If you are a competing bodybuilder, the LAST thing you should be putting any stock into, is how much you can BP for 1 rep (which aint doing shit for your physique anyway) on a given day.It's called risk-benefit ratio...easy choice IMO.
just wait until Squadfather gets out of highschool and reads this thread. He is going to have a heart attack
free weights are dangerous
Very true. Going into the gym with record breaking mind set will not help you become a better bodybuilder.
