this is essentially it. You take your weightlifting seriously and that’s cool, and I do actually think old school lifts like the bent press and one arm snatches are cool too, but you have a fundamental misunderstanding of how to use weights in a bodybuilding context.
This website isn’t just for bodybuilders, and the subforum like Bigger, Stronger, Leaner is a great place to discuss the stuff you’re into, but the actual Bodybuilding forum is quite specific in what we’re trying to accomplish.
When you come into threads where people have asked questions like how to bring up their rear delts and you give advice like “get stronger” or “bent press” or whatever it makes all the bodybuilders shake their heads and cluck their tongues.
Not trying to dissuade you from posting here, far from it, but you need to understand the difference in the utility of weights in a weighlifting context and a bodybuilding context.
