This is the worst and most closed-minded post I have ever seen on this website. If you were actually pursuing any scientific truth to training you would have found that studies (yes, those things that can be found PubMed) have shown that various types of music as well as provoking various emotional states (anger) can actually cause an increase in work capacity by releasing various hormones like epinephrine. Why do you think people who are high on PCP have been shown to have “super human strength”? Is it because they are so focused on thought? Not likely. Also, to state that one form of training is better than the other just sounds asinine. Anyone who actually participates in bodybuilding or powerlifting realizes that both sports require techniques utilized by both groups. In fact, most the techniques being used now by bodybuilders are those used years ago in the strength training world. Look at half the exercises being used in the I, Bodybuilder program. Do you really think bodybuilders came up with pin presses and squats with a yoke bar? So those so called “scientific concepts” you were speaking of probably didnt come from a controlled study in a lab but rather from those neanderthals who werent afraid of trying new techniques while you were in the corner being level-headed trying all the safe and out-dated exercises. So instead of bashing people or the “hobbies” they choose to participate in why dont you go read an actual book or journal and continue in your poor attempt to sound educated.[/quote]
Powerlifters are ten times more close-minded than bodybuilders. That was part of my point.
Most bodybuilders can understand what powerlifting is all about, but try getting an average powerlifter, with his flame hat and 40" gut, to acknowledge that isolation exercises or machines can be useful for a certain segment of the training population. Simply isn’t going to happen.
Powerlifters tend to be big, fat, obnoxious, close-minded bullies and bigots. In a word, blockheads.
The examples go on and on. The world and the internet are filled with strength coaches who think bodybuilding is worthless and that all one has to do to develop a great physique is train like a strength athlete (Chad Waterbury fits into this camp and is proud of it). In contrast, you don’t find bodybuilding coaches trying to force their methodologies onto strength athletes. It’s only the strength morons who always think they know best.
Ironically, the strength guys resemble the aerobics and karate sissies who love to proclaim that anyone who can’t do a 1-arm handstand, run 5 miles, or break a board over their stomach isn’t in any kind of physical shape.
I don’t like obnoxious, oversized, imbecilic people.
This problem, like most problems, is much worse in America than elsewhere. That’s because American powerlifting is a sorry excuse for real strength training when compared to international weight lifting. The over-reliance on gear and “creative” methods of lifting (e.g. 4-inch ROM) simply kill the sport.
The performance crowd, of which DeFranco is a part, isn’t as bad as the powerlifting crowd. But they’re still over-the-top.
Every time I hear someone talk about “how much heart this kid’s got,” I know there isn’t a lot going on inside said kid’s head.

Definitely. I’m always serious. I think sarcasm is juvenile and I wouldn’t want to lower myself to the level of a typical American by using it. You can rest assured that I will stand behind everthing I’ve ever posted. I am not a flakey, wishy-washy guy who changes his views and mouths off. I am a rock solid, logical debater.

Matt Kroc(before he turned his attention to bodybuilding). Yes. I see your point now…

Just because you annoy people enough to make them want to breed bloodthirsty packs of killer hounds with the express purpose of hunting you down, ripping you to shreds and crapping you out a few days later in some secluded woodland glade, that’s no reason to dislike dogs. They are renowned for possessing exceptionally good judgement, after all.
Why do people even respond to the posts of trolls? I don’t get why people just don’t ignore the post like it doesn’t even exist rather than trying to set the troll straight by displaying your knowledge? I don’t get it… DONT FEED THE TROLL

Nominal Prospect is like the vintage wine of trolls - he just gets better with age. I mean, come on… “How can I possibly focus when my mind is clouded by anger”…he must’ve just hit a PR lifting an X-Wing out of the swamps of Dagobah…
I’m pretty sure if I had said “let out my demons” this thread wouldn’t have been anywhere near as funny.
Nominal, you’re wrong about a lot of things, but especially about dogs.
They are the best, just be careful not to let them out at the wrong time (church, meetings, parent-teacher conferences).

I was about to say this. I admire his approach a lot, and I definitely wouldn’t enjoy eating the amount of chicken breasts that he claims to eat.
