"It's not how much you lift, but how good you look lifting it" - Bob Cicherillo
If it is one thing I have heard from a lot of the pro bodybuilders, it is that your are sculpting your body to compete in a bodybuilding show, not going for the heaviest lifts like a powerlifter does or strength conditioning. I once asked a competitor why you are using only 315 pounds instead of 400 pounds, or stronger, and he said, why should he when the point is making sure the body is symmetrical. So Bob's qupte is correct to a bodybuilder. Some of you seem to forget that.
Some of the injuries that I have heard in the gym was that this guy wanted to push the weights, to go over the top, and then he gets injured.
From all accounts, Dillet truly trained like an idiot.
And yet Dillet, during his time, looked great, one of the best then. He didn't pose well, but he looked conditioned and symmetrical.
If you need a trainer must mean that you are doing something wrong from the start.
Oh jeez, I have known people who have trained for years and years, and when they got a trainer, they learned some new techniques, got some more energy to get the final push, and got to the next level. There are always new things to be learned, and someone to help you see what you cannot see.
Bob Chick pathetic trainer?
Ah, no. He worked hard, became a pro, got in shape, makes a great career for himself in bodybuilding. I think that he is, in business tacts, one of the top pro bodybuilders in our industry now in making the sport of bodybuilding work for him. Others should learn.
