Dunno about that; while the 45lbs is heavier, a 25lbs plate can be swung with greater acceleration. I do believe that due to the F = ma formula, the 25lbs plate would inflict more damage.

maybe, but does Prof X need to reach 15.45% before swinging the 25 plate, or will the Zone diet with alphanumericalisocalories do the trick?
first of all, im not wasting anyones time cuz you’re all choosing to write in this forum.
second, im genuinly taking everything to heart
-mostly compound exercises
-some isolation
-change things (sets, reps, exercises) often, but not too often.
-eat meat, good fats and good carbs, and LOTS of them.
for now, thats what i’ll stick to till im about 170 lbs.
170 ???
Erm thats like fucking TINY
Dunno why you had to go trying to piss people off… i mean you had some SERIOUSLY knowledgeable people in this thread and you went and fucked it up.
Now i doubt you will see anyone come help you when you want to know anything.
In the meantime go to all of these:
Read EVERY SINGLE ARTICLE by those 4, near 1000 articles.
Should answer any one of those anal questions you can think up.
When you have ALL OF THAT done… THEN post again untill then unless it has to do with either the nutrition or training DONT ASK… stop pounding the damn keyboards pound the fucking weights.
I could see if you are working with some guy who is always picked last for dodgeball and who can’t even squat with no weight without falling over…but unless you have the muscle coordination of a blind nerd, avoiding all isolation exercises is retarded.[/quote]
Hillarious post, can nerds even be blind?
PS: This guy is clearly a Troll and doing a good job at it.
remember though, my weight and height may not be big, my my BF% is 13%. thats more of an important factor than weight or height. according to Charles Poliquin, im fat!
Sounds like you maybe are already leaning to the wrong side and are trying to justify trying to lose some body fat.
I have problems with your numbers… at 5’9" and 150 lbs I doubt you are 13% body fat unless your muscles are actually concave. Did you use a scale impedance test? Woefully inaccurate.
At any rate, you should post this in the beginners section because that’s what it’s for. As far as workouts, doesn’t really matter not one bit. If you did splits or full body or whatever at this stage is fine.
Yea those body fat tests can be innaccurate. I took one a couple of years back for a police exam. I was 5’11 165lbs and they said I had 12% bodyfat, oh btw I was running 70 miles a week and could run a sub 4:30 mile so I highly doubt I was 12% body fat.
Maybe some pics would help, but it sounds like you should bulk, unless your going for the tayshaun prince look.[/quote]
being good at endurance activities doesnt necessarily mean you HAVE to be less than 12%. If your body managed to adapt do do that particular task BEFORE you needed to drop below 12% it is very possible. Adaptation in the arerobic sense means doing the same work on less calories, not continuing to burn calories at a high level each time you do it till you reach 8%.
I have seen many a fat man who can run for miles more than me! Aerobic work doesnt ensure leanness - which is why weight training is prescribed by most of us who can prescribe it.

This is the same guy who suggested 45g of liquid fish oil a day. Hyperbole is his shtick and helps put food on his table for his family…take ANYTHING Poliquin says with a heaping tablespoon of salt. For that matter, that applies to ANYONE looking at you as a potential candidate for a product. I think you see where I;m going here.
He railed against the DB snatch about a week after Staley began to push it…its a competitive world, what can we say.
He has a lOT of useful information for ANY lifter, once you brush away the 6-inch thick layer of hyperbole and BS.
The great Poliquin is also marketing a product, whose active ingredient is a herb available in ANY international grocery store for 1/10th of the price of “fenuplex”.
Someone will probably pop up with “He is known for getting results”, and if so, I haven;t seen all these 20 inch armed guys who followed his one-day arm cure faithfully and were happy with their results. “the Poliquin principles” didn;t set the bodybuilding world on fire for all the hype. I hear that a bunch of athletes flock to his supervision, thats awesome.
He’s no Charles Glass, but we already KNOW that.
BTW to the OP, I recently stipulated that anyone beloe 6’6" is a midget so youre officially a little person. In fact most of you guys here are midgets…I laugh at you little people BWAAAHAHAHAHA. Do you see how ridiculous this is getting?
Whatever…I give up. Vaya con dios, T-Nation.

Man,I love when Thibs graces us with the ‘real science’ behind all this mumbo jumbo -lol. We’re truly lucky to have his contributions on these forums.
Troll. Anybody who asked Thibs to design his very own program would’ve known better to search the article library for any of CT’s training programs.
No one who has trained with weights for 3-4 years can possibly be 150 lbs. skinny-fat at 5’9". Just to compare, nothing more, when I was skinny-fat and wouldn’t touch a weight at high school, I was 5’8" and 160. I’d be delighted to hear evidence to the contrary.
ok, back to seriousness now. i wasnt TRYING to piss anyone off, i guess it just happened. my apologies, plaease let all this pass by.
now, i have another serious Q. since i can load up my barbell all the way and do that for reps on the deadlift, do you guys have a good deadlift alternative that i can do thats a bit harder than the traditional one. if i get stronger in the deadlift, i cant increase the weight any more. my only other modes of progression are reps, decreasing rest, etc. so i need another option if im to increase the weight on the bar often.

I’m thinking about murdering you.
If you can Load your entire Barbell with plates for the deadlift, stop using 5kg plates.

Every one of your posts is full of epic fail. Were you perhaps banned from the Men’s Health forums…or is this what they all sound like?

I seriosly doubt he means all 45’s - probably all the weights he has which is 200lbs.
