Those “athletic trainers and coaches” should also have examples of people who they have trained to get big if that person is now claiming they also know how even if they aren’t big themselves.
This is in reference to the bodybuilding forum.
Why the living hell would someone follow some guy who weighs all of 150lbs and who never trained anyone else to get big about how other people should do it?
Parroting what you read from someone else can often be taken the wrong way or misunderstood. There is no way in hell some scrawny guy knows the challenges involved with bench pressing over 400lbs for reps so if they start giving advice to people who can bench near that much, what good are they doing ANYONE?
Further, why would this even need to be explained? Why would you champion someone who never made much progress to tell other people what to do to get big and strong?

Simple… how much athletes did someone advice and how did those athletes transform. Then it has some saying.
On the internet on the other hand, the first thing is someones physique and ability to progress to backup their words.
One more thing, some guys on this site do have a post history that shows they clearly have solid experience whether they post a picture or not. MOST people here with no pics are NOT like that. Most of the people handing out “advice” in the bodybuilding and even beginners forums have no pics and no apparent experience. they are simply regurgitating what they heard in the locker room…or what they half read somewhere.
This is why so many newbs actually thought training arms directly was a BAD thing.
How the hell can tons of posts from inexperienced people help others with serious goals?

As I said I was just curious to what someone would have to say about it… and I guess I’m viewing it more from a sports perspective not bodybuilding(not saying bodybuilding is not a sport)

These people have either a stable of clients whom they have trained that they can point to, or have an impressive educational background. Usually both.

Because every human being wants to spout an opinion. Fortunately not every human being has their brains up their ass.

Oh. Well either way. If you want to get better at basketball you’re probably going to look for someone who has played for a while at high level or coached skilled individuals. You’re not going to ask the kid that didn’t get picked during the pick up game at the park

Apparently it doesn’t matter how big you are, because CT has the best physique on this site, yet when he revealed HTH the “big” guys on the site said he was full of shit.
Bottom-line is you have to agree with the people on this site or else you’re a skinny weak bastard.

What? I’ve met CT. I have no problems with CT at all. What are you talking about?
Dankid, your posts are long. Of the posters I’ve seen, you’re only overshadowed by C_C in average length! How do you get your posts to be so long? Can you write me a 12 week program to bring up my average post length by 50 lines?
