I believe that The Pumpster stated that he was the BB'ing coach for the Bahamian team, or something to that affect, a little while back. After being called out for that, by Ice Cold and others, he did not reply. And his post was altered. Would that be different than training along side Beckles cousin or just belonging to the same gym as he? And of course that has nothing to do with interviews/programs listed in any mag. Or the fiction or truth related to them. Reading about lifting does not always make it so.
A lot of Pro & top BB'ers have built large arms through basic compound stuff. I have no sealed records to back this up. Just talking too and witnessing a lot of their training. Not 35 years, but more like 20 years at some very hard core gym's training and observing. Also talking to PL'ers with outstanding biceps/triceps. Though some of them will use extra , short range tricep movements to help their bench. They will also throw in some curls, from time to time. Not because they have too, but because they want too. If the Pumpster is trying to make a point that I stated that no top BB'er uses direct arm work, than he would be misled again. He even stated that indirect work will help & could reduce the need for direct (tricep) work. But still thinks some direct & intense work makes a difference. That is just about what I said, so I do not see the The Pumpster's need to argue the point. If confused, than it may be required for he to reread what he wrote in this thread. And what I wrote.
Quoting the SquadFather "HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA", unquote. A man truly lost for words. And the words he finally finds make no sense. Seem to have an unending loathing for partial reps and any one who uses them in training. Finding it even harder to understand that most people (even him) can and do use 80 to 100lbs over their PB bench press (or most any other exercise) when applying this type of training. So if a lifter can bench, say 500lb, than using partials with 80 to 100lbs over that for short range is normal in training. Because I can and do use extra heavy weight in training, with partials (it's my genetic nature) , in some way, this seems to offend SF. Too bad, it is what it is. If he wishes to call it BS than that's his choice. I am not on any crusade to boost up and lie about any weight I may use in training. What good would that do me? I will keep anonymous as long as I post on this site. Good Luck.
