One by one the knockers are exposed as rather ordinary bodybuilders that match their intellects.

Lay it out for us Vince. Once and for all tell us what the masses don't know about hypertrophy and free weight training.

One day I would like to dump all weights, dumbbells and barbells into the Pacific Ocean so that they can do some good and build up reefs or something.

I swear I am sick of the total ignorance I see on a daily basis from bodybuilders and wannabe trainees. The ignorance is overwhelming. It is so sad to see everyone copying what others are doing and almost no one getting much in the way of results. That is okay because most believe steroids are needed to get really big.

There they are banging away in the free weight room. The clanging of the dumbbells hides the emptiness inside the brains of those people. I see people using ropes for triceps and abdominals. They do bench presses for pecs. Few do full squats. Most make only meager results from all that effort. It clearly is a form of postering that many do but gain little for all that work.

Can it be that whole populations of trainees are uninformed? Well, they are all following some theory or other. Whatever it is those principles are adhered to like a religion. If you try to talk to any of these knuckleheads they remain impenetrable because they totally believe they know what they are doing. Their results suggest otherwise.

I really am ashamed of this sport called bodybuilding. I am ashamed of associating with so many ignorant people with bizarre beliefs and habits. All that work and what for?

This really is a sad pastime. Look at the boobs of female bodybuilders? Does any man actually fancy that bizarre look? Then male bodybuilders end up with tits that rival what the gals have. It makes no difference if you have certificates or not because the ignorance is universal.

One would hope that in this century we could abandon the unprofitable ways of the past. Is this what we find? Nope. There is just as much ignorance today than before. Protein sales are up. Supplement companies make profits. Home gym equipment stores are doing fine. Yet so many believe absolutely untenable things about training. I wonder why the false ideas and theories persist? Why do we still see ab machines advertised on TV to give people abdominals? That is preposterous and downright false.

Is it really that difficult to know something about muscles and how to affect changes in them? My conclusion is that the web of knowledge that is bodybuilding gets transferred from individual to individual and little in the way of critical examination is ever made to check what is being believed. Thus, we perpetuate the same old nonsense and it spreads like a disease. Those who do know something about hypertrophy must wonder if this knuckleheadedness is permanent in our culture.

I so dislike the bigotry that is written by bodybuilders and on line wannabes about fat people. Instead of tolerating and understanding others we often read rather pathetic attacks about others. Every bodybuilder makes a journey from ordinariness and I should hope that no one forgets the transformation. The journey is usually a long and arduous one. Respect of all individuals is what informed bodybuilders should practice.

Thank goodness we have a separate room for free weights at our gym. We just installed a big boxing room. No doubt a lot of those guys will be pounding on those punching bags. The din from that free weight room is actually painful for me to hear. I try to stay out of that room and go there mainly to access our maintenance room. I do some full squats from time to time but a Smith Machine is just as good. I made one with an incline so the movement is similar to free weight squatting. Come to think about it I seldom see bodybuilders squatting and they seldom do full squats. The lack of doing full squats must explain why so many have chicken legs.

You sound kinda negative. You may need to take up a hobby and have more sex or something.

There they are in the weight room clanging the weights and looking at themselves in the mirrors. At least they don't waste any mirrors which helps conservation.

One earnest young man is blasting away, day after day. No results over the past year. I took him aside 3 times and told him the formula. He replied that he isn't doing bodybuilding. They why is he training like a bodybuilder? I can tell from what he is doing that he has no idea whatever about how to get big. He is clueless about nutrition but buys the supplements and eats healthily. Ah, this syndrome is so typical of so many young guys.

Then we have the guys who are darker than average who have a bit of size on their arms. They all forgot to train their legs.

When I train I expect a result and I get one. Now, if only I can get motivated to keep training. Trouble is owning a gym doesn't make one want to do much training. I have to talk to people, do repairs, and prepare new areas. We just added a boxing area. I always swore I would never cater to boxing in my gym but my son convinced me there is a demand for it. Now the members can let off steam punching bags and doing sweat classes.

Look at the fare on this forum. It is not really that funny. At least we have a few stooges to punctuate the days. Goodrum takes the cake. Anyone ever gone to his store to pick up an order?

Update on that young guy blasting away in the gym. Saw him up close and he looks better than I thought. Also he is getting quite strong. So perhaps he is making some gains, afterall. I know he could grow much faster.

I talked to a young guy today and told him he might be able to put 2 inches on his 17 inch arms in 2 months. He is interested. The lad is only 18 and is 6-2. Seems to me he is already doing most of the right things. He might be willing to try my DOMS program for a couple of months and see how he goes. We have plenty to discuss because there is no way I am bothering with anyone who won't follow what I tell him. Should be an interesting experiment.

That little guy who wore the 'Shit Happens!' T-shirt is bald and has a goatee.

Its good to hear about guys making progress Vince, some positiveness on getbig is good.
What is his training like?(from what you have seen anyway)

Vince B · « **Reply #134 on:** February 28, 2007, 01:56:12 AM »

This young guy trains like a seasoned bodybuilder. You can tell when you see guys like that. He doesn't talk to anyone and just trains hard like an animal. If he ate more he would be huge.

Pumpster, bottom line is I posted a pic. It may not look good to you but I posted a pic. You did not.

True, even though I think you a closet fag I still find that Pumpsters is the biggest closet homo on this site especially since he is mentally retarded and trains on a Bowflex.

"Mike", a resentment-filled 16 year old punk with a full six months of bodybuilding behind him, if that. It shows. Mike, soon your guns will match those of "bmacsys". LOL you are a classic.

Well, Pumpster, I guess on this forum one doesn't need any bodybuilding experience to knock others. Rather tedious reading most of these posts. The names change but the content remains boringly identical.

One of the funniest things is the low number of serious trainers on this site. hahaahahahahaha

I really believe that hating on this site is therapy for those lacking the balls for real workouts. Neither "bmacsys" or "Mike" really show any interest in, let alone have the look of bodybuilders. There's really no reason for them to be on a bodybuilding site; obviously there is a desperation to be one, without the work.

Mike you're a classic. You have absolutely nothing of substance to add here or anywhere else, and quite frankly are going entirely on hearsay passed to you by others. Bottom line you're guillible as well as filled with resentment.

I would kill you in a workout.

Vince,

All due respect ... (Anything goes now, right?)

Aren't you a little "advanced" in years to be so obsessed with all this musclehead caca?

For some reason I don't think you have any kind of a respectable physique, now on the other hand I at 21 probably look better then you ever have your entire life. Prove me wrong if you so choose but I have a feeling you won't.

More speculation from a hate-filled twit with nothing of value to contribute. Get in the gym and take out your issues there kid, you need it. Learn what it takes to work out for real.

This is a fairly recent pic of "Mike".
