Lol, not at all man, I totally agree with you! Thanks very much though for hanging in these years, you’ve made some incredible progress yourself bud. Side note, I might be in TX in February, if so I’ll let you know and hopefully we can get some training in (meaning I’ll watch you lift really heavy stuff lol)

Easy there pal, I didn’t realize you wanted me to construct a mock routine, I thought you were just giving me an example of someone you think would do better on a spit program to see if I’d agree.
You said these problems were caused by the high frequency programming he was doing before. What did that program look like, specifically?
Listening to you =/= blindly accept what you have to say. I think some of you have spent too much time isolating yourselves in this echochamber to tell the difference, anymore.
My best lifts are 225/155/250 for 630 @ 83kgs raw.
Jeez, and I thought Stu was laying on the passive-aggression thick.
If you’ll notice, I told him the split routine he plans on doing is fine. If I’m the minority here, what exactly is everyone else telling him?
I never dismissed Rob as just being genetically gifted. I have no idea if he is, because I don’t know his stats, and I don’t really care what they are. You’re all so into yourselves I’m starting to think you’re not being bad-faith, you guys are just genuinely that insecure.
This isn’t about any of you on a personal level. I don’t care about any of you on a personal level. I don’t care if you use drugs or not, if you’re genetically gifted or not, if you’ve been through hardships or not – none of this is of my concern, so stop pretending it is.
If you can manage a FFMI score of >24 while being <10% bodyfat, you have elite genetics for a natty. If you can’t do this, then you don’t. Rob may or may not fall into the category, same with the others ITT, but like I said, I don’t care. My point is, you can’t just rely on the anecdotes of people who are genetically elite, because the difficulty they faced building their physique isn’t comparable to the average lifters’.
This is true regardless of how you, Rob, or anyone else looks like, so stop trying to take this as a personal attack and get over yourselves. I’m just not that into you.
Clearly he’s trolling.
Ryuu, go check out debate . org, there’s a debate on Powerlifting vs. Bodybuiling 
@flipcollar I’ve changed my mind, Stu is still the most passive-aggressive here.
Those are kilograms, right?

Yup, they’re all in kilos. I think even Americans use kilogram plates in competition, don’t they?
Edit: actually that’s a dumb question. Most of you aren’t powerlifters.
495/341/550 for a 1,386 total at 182.5lbs bodyweight
Projecting 101 with the mighty Stu
Either. Plates are often marked with both.
I just needed to confirm that. If you answered lbs. there was going to be pieces of cheeseburger flying across the room from the laughter.

@RyuuKyuzo I don’t know if you saw my question. I wanted to know your thoughts on it.

I think this gem may have been inadvertently (?) overlooked by its intended recipient. As such, and because you folks all know how much I love helping others out, I’ll just repeat Pwnisher’s earlier inquiry again for him.

Sorry, I missed this.
Like I’ve said earlier, outside of competition prep I don’t think the optimal way for powerlifters or bodybuilders to train is all that different. The way I train in the “offseason”, believe it or not, looks more like how a bodybuilder would train than a powerlifter (at least in terms of rep-range, volume, and exercise selection).
I’d be open to a bodybuilder’s opinion on the best way for powerlifters to train, and if I think he’s correct and the powerlifters he’s arguing with are wrong, I would side with him over them.
Christ, Stu. Unwad your panties and get a life.
I was actually curious if you would follow the program versus side with him. Like, if I found it for you, would you use that program?
Right now, your response basically says you would follow it if you agreeed with it, but that’s my point. Let’s say this routine completely violated everything you knew about training correctly for powerlifting, but it was backed up by several studies and vocally opposed by those successful in powerlifting.
Although I am curious how you think a powerlifter would train in the offseason compared to how you train.
