Exactly dude! Well said. I wished the majority of members here would get there heads out of their asses and understand that not everyone here wants to be HUUUGEE.
All the big weight lifter types need to understand that not everyone shares their desire to turn into a 300lb walking heart attack. And if they want to look like hulking bodybuilders then then that’s there business too - that’s a matter for them to discuss with their psychologists, but they shouldn’t expect everyone to share these aspirations.
This is a body building sight. Why do something half ass?
Look at Biotest’s product range. They target a variety of athletes. And this site has a combat section too, so it isn’t just for bodybuilders actually.

BTW I didnt understand a damnned word about all this “impressive” stuff you are going to do while your here.
but Im sure you will love it,besides the below zero temps in Minnesota in winter, ( that like -400 or something)
you will love it though just be careful in the larger cities,I mean im sure they would see you coming a mile away.
and I looked at your profile not because you ruffled feathers,I dont get how people get upset over the internet thats kind of gay.
I knew a blow hard such as yourself would post info “bragging”
and I wanted to see how much a guy with a pencil neck like yours said he weighed.
based on that football head and that skinny ass neck I would have said 140ish not 175ish
either way I feel sorry for you cause I havent been 175 since like 6th grade.
enjoy your freedom while your here, it will be missed when you go back to your prison camp.
(that is how aus started wasnt it a prison camp?)
old habits die hard dont they.
oh ya you just topped it off with a big ole cherry with the “5’10” basketballer (are they that short there?) and the Bulky and slow comment
lol ignorance runs deep my sad diluted friend.

Lol I think you have controll issues.
I think i’m 170 pounds now??? i have gone down to 77kgs from 80kgs, how does that convert from the modern metric system to outdated system (pounds) you guys use?
Average temp for Minnie is supposed to -6 or some shit in jan, i’m gunna be going from surfing in sub tropical summer temps to -6!.. its gunna suck 
Nothing wrong with that. But the RMP forum specifically rates you from a bodybuilding perspective: mass, proportion and conditioning. And while the posters/raters are somewhat forgiving conditioning - they do expect to see significant size and development on your frame at the very least.
I remind you that there is a combat sports forum where you can discuss “being light on your feet” and delivering kicks and no one cares about how much mass you’ve built up or symmetry.
There’s also a strength forum where they only care about how much you can move in specific movements or performance in various events and I daresay none of the bbers go on to those forums to ask anyone to change up their training, although many DO read the strength forums - quietly - to learn/take away what they can regarding getting stronger.
if there was a “rate my lifts” forum (clearly a strength focus), I;m sure there would be little to no physique discussion on that, and there wouldn’t be anyone saying “I don;t want to get too strong because I need my flexibility/endurance for soccer - but rate my lifts anyway”. Also if there was a “rate my vertical jump” forum, you won;t find some 300 pound behemoth putting up videos of his jump there, asking people to be forgiving taking his weight and athletic endeavours into account.

I agree not everyone is here to be huge.
I’m here mainly because I read VJB by Kelly Bagget and some of Eric Cressey’s stuff on web and got directed here.
People change their priorities as they train as well.
i dont try to get big cause of basketball but my mate who quit ball lifts real heavy now and got real big in last 3 years cause hes not concerned with limiting his size anymore.
Yolked up - Are you real? I mean, I think you’re a joke… some other forum member came up with the idea of posting as yolked up, all over the site, making comments so stupid a real person couldn’t really come up with them! I mean only someone actually trying very hard to be moronic and uneducated could actually make the posts you are making and reply to the “Yolked up- how do you train?” thread while seemingly not realizing that it was intended to mock you… I know, it just occurred to me now, but am I right?!? Am I the first one to get it? do I win a prize?
I don’t think that getting “big and bulky” is what makes you slow. I think that neglecting footwork, agility drills, and sprints is what makes a lot of “big and bulky” guys slow. There are a ton of athletes (ALL of the NFL) who achieve the “big and bulky” size yet are as quick on their feet as anybody in the world and can deliver a hell of a hit. Yes, even 360 lb behemoth linemen have quicker feet than you or I.
It is an unfair stereotype to say that “big and bulky” guys are slow. If you want to be both big and fast, it is absolutely achievable, you just have to put in the time. Again, “big and bulky” and “fast feet” are not mutually exclusive.
Before you use the NBA as an example of skinny fast basketball players, keep in mind that the reason they are so skinny is because they are in 4-5 hours worth of practice (read: cardio) daily, which cuts into their muscle production.
They dont practice at full pace as much as you think. If they did they would break down more frequently.
They run through stuff and have a small scrimage but it is rarely 4-5 cardio.
I play at state level in Aus about 2 below pro and have played with and against pro aus players.
Generally with a full time job, 3 games a week and 2 training sessions, I rarely have time for regular weights in season and I drop weight, then put it back on in off season. BUT I am quicker, lighter and jump higher mid season after loosing a few kilos than at the start. Just my experience tells me bulkier is not better in ball, unless your a big guy anyway.

you’re right. i started lifting weights b/c i wanted to be ‘big, bulky and slow’.
what a jackass.
it really pisses me off when people assume that once you actually start to look like you’ve touched a weight, apparently you revert to the athletic ability of a 4 year old ADD striken child hyped up on pixi sticks.

Well if having the athletic ability of a 4 year old with ADD means I can do a standing backflip, then sweat as!!!
(hopefully people have actually checked out your youtube clip or this will go down with crickets in the background)

I was just thinking the same thing, - any bitching about size vs ‘agility’ should just be answered with the Youtube clip ;')
What about the fact that it takes a lot of hard work and time to build a big AND lean body. Anyone who is in a situation where they need to actively avoid adding size has genetics to turn 100% pro!

This is the link if everyone wants to have a look!
Ive been absolutely shocked by some of the things ive read here!
Fuckin Prick!
Even if he wernt talking about my girl, why have dicks like that on this board? What does it do to the reputation of this site?
Twat, il make sure you get blocked!
I just wana say this to anyone out there who may have stumbled across this topic. Dont be dis-persuaded by ‘genetic limitations’ anyone can potentialy gain an awesome physique from hard work. A solid program and a tight diet will get you a great looking physique; its simple science. The OP could gain a better physique with the right program and the right diet, T-Nation has all the resources to help average people gain a top physique, its assholes like tribunaldude that fuck things up here!! But you dont need to listen to people like that, all the information you need is written by the authors that regularly post here. Read what they write! Apply what is in line with your goals and the path to a better body can become a very simple one with the absence of tribunaldude’s gay opinions.
Tribunaldude! I pusaded my BEAUTIFUL girlfriend to join figureathlete because the information provided there would truly help her reach her goals! With the help of Chris Shugart and members of FA she has achieved some amazing results. She would be extremely hurt if she came across this topic and read your comments you fucking retard! I cant believe how pissed off i am right now, if i saw you, man i swear i would fuck you up!
I’m indian, i occasionally eat curries but following the advice of the authors I have achieved a good physquie. I’m a football player (soccer) and not a bodybuilder and my current profile pic is extremely outdated! But i am willing to put up a new pic and i challenge you to do the same. Lets see if your superior genetics can kick my ass you pussy!
