I thought Victor Richards was supposed to be strong
« on: June 29, 2011, 11:22:56 AM »
Well,not in this video,granted he doesn`t look as big as i`ve seen him before,but he`s still a decent size,but he struggles with 2 and a half plates on incline and the dumbell presses are a waste of time.

bodybuilding has nothing to do with how much weight you lift

It only matters if you actually want to get bigger.  If you want to do the same weight and stay the same size for years on end it doesn't matter.

Many other factors matter as well.  I have seen a lot of strong guys look terrible.

being huge and weak isn't very impressive. it just proves your muscle is all show.

Of course, we're not talking in absolutes.  But if you want to make continued progress in bbing you have to get stronger. Strength is not some attribute to be ignored.

The reason I say that is there are limits on the amount of weight one can lift.  Otherwise, we could all bench 1000 lbs.  Even with steroids, there is a limit, for most, in terms of strength.

no it doesn't you can lift semi light, go for high reps, switch up some stuff, not lift too heavy, because in the end if you lift like an idiot like branch or ronnie you end up with permanent nerve damage.  Bob Chic will tell you lifting heavy has nothing to do with bodybuilding, I think your thinking of power lifting.

Drugs play a much greater role in the bigger and harder look.

If your cock was as thick and black as his, you wouldn't care about lifting heavy either.

So let me get this straight.  You're using Ronnie Coleman (5'11 competed ripped in the 280's with the most pro wins of all time and 8 Mr. Olympias) and Branch Warren (5'7 250lbs contest and the recent winner of the Arnold classic) to discredit my point that strength plays a important role in bodybuilding.  And you're using Bob Chic (6' 250's contest and only 1 pro win which was a masters show) to prove your point?  That makes very little sense.

Victor who ?
It always cracked me how so many worshiped Vic Richards as the greatest thing in BB back in the 90's.
He never competed as a pro bodybuilder and was given his pro card when he won the IFBB Nigerian nationals ( true story).
