I have nothing to base this on, but I have a feeling he was quietly banned, though I suspect he’ll still be reading for a little while.
I’m sure he’s probably working out. You don’t get the kind of information that guy had and not use it. Go heavy was wicked smart, but he was condescending as hell and he knew it. That was the genius behind him. He could actually insult you without insulting you. I never saw him flame anyone, only return the flames with a training tip or slice into their particular weakness.
I was hoping he would log back in too, Now I have to resort back to common beliefs around here instead of someone actually telling me the truth. Why would he get banned, for being the most knowledgeable trainer on the site? He answered one of my PM’s yesterday and said he wasn’t logging back in because the site had too many flamers on it and not enough weight lifters.
If Prof X leaves, then I’ll have to find myself more sources of information. Go heavy had the best advice and sound advice on the site, the only people that might know more are the authors, but I doubt they have that kind of experience and intensity, or the midset that he had. Alpha F recognized this and called him indomitable in one of her posts. she might be the only person on the site who could have possible understood him. I’m lost and was just happy to receive the training tips. I’d like to bottle up whatever Go heavy had and use it at anything.
People like him are very rare. You won’t find that kind personality very often, kinda larger than life. Definitly too big for this site. I know his type because I’ve seen it before. He’s one of those Good Will Hunting types. Trying to understand him would be impossible, but learning from him wasn’t. The site could have used a lot more people like that. But, we’ll get the common knowledge and the daily flame throwers instead that don’t offer us anything more than average.
Go heavy was exceptional. Oh well, he left alot here that I’m still trying to comprehend. The funny thing is, those guys that flame him I bet never even tried some of his training advice. I have done what he suggests and it is bar none the greatest advice I could have gotten anywhere. He won’t back. Just like he said, he goes full force at everything he does then never looks back.

Look how Force 10’s post above mimics Mr popular’s posts.
Welcome back Go Heavy Fool.
And just for laughs, this thread:
http://www.T-Nation.com/readTopic.do?id=1295623&pageNo=13
We have Go Heavy in a conversation with Force 10. Essentially having a discussion with himself. I also noticed a similar writing style with “Avoids Roids.” Avoids Roids was also in on the same conversation. GHF was known to be strongly against steroids, it seems Avoids Roids might be a fitting name for GHF?
At any rate, this quote from the above link has GHF discussing load with Force 10, and Avoids Roids.

It’s simple, the more you train a muscle group avoiding burnout the faster it will develop. Arnold trained more than any other bodybuilder. Of course he offset the overtraining with steroids…But these days bodybuilders take so much juice that it’s hard to tell how much their training is influencing their physiques at all.
Try training a muscle group more often without overtraining it. What do you think will happen? It’s going to grow faster.
What, does there have to be only one way? Is bodybuilding a science yet? No
“Frequency”, as it is sometimes referred to by us assholes.
What I understood from what Go heavy was saying is that frequency won’t matter if the stress isn’t an overload or great enough of an overload to force change. He was talking about this before he left. This makes sense to me and I’m not that smart. Those marathon runners run everyday and have legs the size of chopsticks. These guys are training their legs constantly and the frequency is almost constantly. Apparently what Go heavy was saying about stress applies here. If the stress; or stressload I think he called it, isn’t great enough, then you can’t create a great enough change to stimulate enough growth. That’s how I understood it anyway.
You’re on the right track. But that’s not how I would summarize it. It has to do with the stress and “TYPE” of stress applied. I was going to go into it after the flame train went through, but I had to go back to work. If you want, I can explain furthur on types of stress… neural/strength, hypertrophy/sarcoplasmic/ myofibrillar/sacremere… but the flame train of fools will be totaly lost when I get into this. They can’t even comprehend the basics of strength to mass ratio and frequency & stress relation for overload. [quote]
