I agree with these gentlemen, do not stop posting because of one person's negative comments.
I used to not post on getbig.com because I knew of the predatory nature of some of the arm chair jockeys that lurk in its shadows. I then came to realize that by doing so I would be missing out on all of the informative dialogue of the members who have productive comments.
I would like to strees that squats and deadlifts are very important in any workout protocal, be it powerlifting, bench press specialization, bodybuidling, athletic training, and so on.
BUT, you are a man and choose what you do. So if you choose not to take my advice, it would serve no positive function for me to chastise you. Unfortunately, this is what members like "sarcasm" do not grasp.*
*If you read this "sarcasm," I am not intending on "flaming" you or starting some juvenile, message board-fight. I would just ask that you consider the feedback you have gotten from fellow members in regards to your recent comments.
