I stay away from discussing training, because it leads to nowhere. One guy spends so much time in the gym doing what he thinks is right. After devoting so much time and attention to this,how would he ever think his method isnt right? The answer is never.
But think about this. grab 2 identical twins for 1 year. Have one bench 135 for whatever reps as long as he's 'feeling' the muscle and pumping blood into it. Then take the other twin and get his bench from 135 to 315. With identical genetics and diets, who do you think will get bigger by the end of that year?
I remember the last time I looked at a bodybuilding mag(I think it was flex) I was reading bout some pros training routine, and all he talked about was getting a pump. Pump this pump that. Turn the page and theres a 2 page add for superpump. coincidence?
These pros all had a base of strength training. And these are the elite when it comes to genetics, training,diet, rest. So stop comparing yourself to Lee Haney. The average gym rat who wants to get big should focus on strength.
And this whole 'avoiding' injury is a crock of shit and you know it! Most of the injuries you see happen during light or warm up sets, or when doing something stupid.
Sorry I just find it amusing someone bases their training on a few elite bodybuilders and what they were doing when they reached their size limit.
Of course 300 lb Jay Cutler isnt going to squat 600 lbs. Thats not his goal anymore.
Ok guys I'm going to take my supplement stack then rep out 1,000 curls with 5lb db's. I'm sure if I pump enough blood in there they'll just blow up.
