Who is the strongest Getbig poster?

[The Coach]

I have thought about it, you are a liar. No way those guys are stronger than Wolfy. No chance in hell.

They can lift their own bodyweight, Wolfy can lift triple his

[The Coach]

But Wolfy is NOT lifting his own bodyweight......see?

[danielson]

That doesn't make the gymnasts stronger, I think you are crazier than Kiwi. But I am done arguing. You just keep on lying, Liar!

[The Coach]

Why, because I understand strength and you don't?

relax I really don't care, just trying to rile you up, but I do think you are wrong.

Coach are you suggesting that if a 170lb gymnast can max bp 250lbs that we should add his bodyweight on top of that 250lbs (due to his functional strength) and call his max bp 420lbs?   

[BM OUT]

A gymnast is a very powerfull athlete,no doubt.However,his strength is fuctional for his sport.If you actually measured the amount of force he generates on a machine and compared it to a powerlifter or Olympic lifter,they wouldnt be close.No,a powerlifter couldnt do the rings[of cource weighing over 300 makes that difficult]but a gymnast couldnt squat his own bodyweight.Totally different types of strenth.If I wanted someone to help me move something,Id ask the powerlifter.If I wanted someone to vault across the room Id ask a gymnast.

[danielson]

I would ask the two previous posters, not the gymnast.

No, funtional strength is totally different. I'll explain later. But Billy is correct in some respects, the powerlifter can absolutly build his functional strength to benefit his performance, but if you tried to add powerlifting movements to a gymnast it would take away from his/her performance.

When I get back, I will go into detail. But it starts with stabilizer strength.

[onlyme]

Hey danielson, people like this are stronger as well.......

Thats how BB posedowns should be done.  Imagine Coleman and Cutler doing that together.

[The Coach]

LMAO

THat is some crazy stuff

I thought you were into martial arts? Why in the hell would you have a powerlifter teach you FUNCTIONAL strength?

[danielson]

I said I would choose MOS and Billy to help me move something. Blocking and kicking can't get a refridgerator across the room Joe

A gymnast surely COULD squat his own bodyweight. But I do agree overall. If you were in a situation requiring some huge truck or something to be moved to save the lives of your family and ten jewish children no degree of gymnastic flair would get the job done.

10 Jewish people lol . Coach is entitled to his opinion, however wrong he may be. My definition of strength and power can be measured in two ways, the big 3 lifts or 2 people lined up against each other like NFL linemen, I really can't think of any other way to test overall strength than 2 people using all of their muscles to push another man back. In these 2 areas gymnasts would not fare well.

The strongest feat of strength ive seen on GetBig is Chris Mason doing some insane weight on stiff legged deadlifts.

That was a great lift. Strong guy.

[BEAST 8692]

coach is a funny guy.

personal trainer, but it seems like everything he tries to pontificate on, he knows shit about.

anyone with a clue about strength training knows that there is only one way to train for strength and that is with weights. nothing else come close (btw, body weight is still a weight ) ie muscle contracts against greater loads it gets stronger, a no brainer really.

now, if you're talking about skill, agility, balance, speed, power, endurance, etc, etc, then those things are different matters.

coach, i've tried bud, but you are either a gimmick or you're so full of shit it's not even funny anymore.

This is true.  My family and I were driving past a synagogue a few weeks back and the blintzes they were selling there smelled so good that we pulled over.  Unfortunately a gust of wind blew a truck driver's sideburns acros his eyes and the truck delivering dradeles and minoras crashed into the crowd, pinning my family and a slew of Jews against a wall.  Everyone was shouting Oi Vey and the gymnasts were totally ineffectual doing vaults and handsprings off the truck.  Me and a moyle picked that thing up barbarian bros style and saved the day.  They even gave us 5% off the cost of the blintzes!

[jason armstrong]

Pros included, I need to know this because Coach thinks that some little gymnast is stronger than anyone who posts on getbig.

I can tell you it's not the fat guys like squattfatter and man of blubber....nothing impressive about them at all-but thier ability to post more than everyone else on the internet because of no life at all.
