I know nothing about anything related to boxing and even I can tell it’s gonna be bad for Thor, and I like Thor.

You lift with Johnny Bravo?
@cyclonengineer the biggest they could be would be 21-22 inch thighs, which would make for some extremely rare arms, haha
Telling Tyson it’s an exhibition match is like telling a grenade it’s for demonstration purposes only. It’s a grenade. Its doesn’t do feeling or holding back. It explodes with everything it has inside of it. And if you are in the way you’re in trouble.
Upside down people?
I’m a massive believer in systemic growth. And the best way to get a big anything is to get a big everything. And the best way to grown your arms is to include squats, leg press, deadlifts etc.
So when I see people with 19 inch arms and no legs I feel sorry for them. Those could be bigger if they were smarter.
Wouldn’t that debunk the theory of systemic growth? 19 inch arms on someone who isn’t fat are pretty fucking big.
Its possible to achieve good result with a sub optimal approach.
How many time have you seen someone employ a so so programme and get good results because it’s been done with vigor?
My point being that if they’d have thrown a good leg day in every week they might have 19 1/2 - 20 inch arms.
Man, I don’t know. I’m not convinced that systemic growth occurs to any appreciable extent past initial noob gains.
But we can agree to disagree. It:s flame free here after all lol.
I confess that I’m sitting here, finishing up my 80 calorie “lite and fit” pumpkin pie greek yogurt and my sugar free hot apple cider after going on a weighted vest walk, and realizing I’ve fallen so far from grace when all I’ve ever wanted was to look like/be as strong as Derek Poundstone in the 06-09 era.
This confession falls in line with me going to a pizza buffet yesterday and raiding…the salad bar. 2 GIANT plates of pretty much as many veggies as I could fit, with only a sparse sampling of hard boiled eggs and 2 pieces of fried chickens breasts (which, of course, I peeled all the breading off of).
I confess that being lean and healthy sucks, and that there need to be more 300+ monsters out there…mainly because they don’t tend to last as long. They’re like Great Danes really. And those are awesome dogs.
I confess that I drank the first beer i have had in months tonight whilst watching TV with the wife, and it was awful just awful. Drank about half the bottle and then poured it down the sink. I think I am broken.![]()
This guy is really disappointed in you right now:
I’ll qualify it buy saying just squatting wont give you a massive upper body. And you can build good upper body with out leg day.
But if someone has reduced push pull legs to just push pull - then i think adding just a touch of squat / leg press volume would help.
This is from a sample size of 1. So I’m open to being wrong. It’s just a feeling I get.
If this dude isn’t 100% self sufficient in moving about and stuff, then that’s gotta be tough on the people helping him ![]()
100% appreciate its possible to get big and strong with out squat / deadlifts / lower body exercises.
My point is it’s “easier” with the odd leg day.
But - I’m open the being wrong. And to keep my pov id have to say how much over 310kg do I think he could have gone…
Edit - red light? Looked clean to me.
I confess that I recently gave a poster a hard time before remembering he once mentioned he had mild schizophrenia and I felt really bad about it.
Typical Catholic guilt at play.
FIFY
I would agree not that my opinion matters…that past a certain level there is diminished returns in systemic growth.
I even do Crossfit in my Chucks lol
Perhaps this is my issue. Still to early on in my lifting life to see the drop off.
What fuckin prick red lighted that?
