GH - I want to understand your point a little better. By bad genetics you are referring to their inability to handle prolonged usage of hormones? If so, I would agree.
If not, I would hardly say that Newman had avg genetics. I was training at around the same time as Dennis was coming up. We both trained at the old Powerhouse in Huntington Beach. I remember he was putting on about 20-30 lbs per year, while eating & training like shit. I on the other hand, while juicing as much as he was, training harder/eating better, was barely putting on 10 lean lbs. per year. So, in that sense, he seemed to me like a genetically gifted freak...
ofcourse im refering to the usage of hormones... we are talking bout top amatuer/pro bodybuilding here..anything i refer to like i said many times before takes hormones into consideration...
let me describe you the last 5 hours of my life....i woke up around noon....drank a container of eggwhites about 15-20 eggwhites ate 4 waffles ate 2 bananas and went to train ...was in the gym 50 min trained biceps triceps....6 sets biceps 2 per exercise to failure....6 sets triceps 2 per exercise to failure...flexed in the mirror went did 4/15 roman chair abdominals and woopteedeedoo was back in my jeep on my way home.....got home drank another little container of eggwhites mixed with very low fat chokolate milk...went to get chinease...ate it 80 min post training....noodels, curry chiken 2 spring rolls...was good...now i just finished another meal this time chikens and potatos and now im eating penut butter reeses icecream....
dont know bout anyone else but it always worked for me....you want those 20/30lb you gotta eat .....you want that 20/30lb you gotta train the muscle as fast as possible, as perfect as possible and get the hell out of there...
im sure newman did exactly same thing because this is the only way to get there....only thing i do not agree with is the fact that he trained like shit....because he might worked 40 min but in those 40 min the 3 exercises he did were performed to perfection and in those 40 min he got what he needed and wanted nothin more nothin less.
the word is SIMPLICITY. the more simple you keep it the bigger your muscles will get. a little secret ...if you guys want your arms to go past 17.5 up to 18.5 and then 19.5....try to go 2 sets per exercise insted of 4...like dorian said cut it in half BUT do it right!...you will be amazed what this and little hormones can do.
