No, it isn’t which is why he should post in the PL and OL sections. I don’t think he meant for reps though.

I post in GAL occasionally so it wasn’t meant as an insult. If I wanted to have a back and forth with you, I would have gone to GAL. I really want to know though, what makes me a know it all?

It is because you bring up a MOOT topic, why bring it up. I never attacked you even though you took it that way. X has made it pretty damn clear, it is not like he is not precise in some topics. So why even comment on it, that was my only point. No matter how much you try subtle or blatantly ask that Hot Lesbian is not going to sleep with you. SHE IS GAY.
I made the comment and moved on. You know why I dont post in here, because the mentality of most young men. You dont want to listen to anything with balance and thought, most wear there heart on there sleeve. I was there and if you took a little time you would realize I am older than Beans and he and I are actually friends outside of T-Nation.
Wasnt say you were stressing about knowing X’s name, however to even ask or discuss it means some small part was hoping. No worries, I wont bother you. I have 5 kids most your age and a state to manage, I do not lose sleep over anything on T-Nation. Carry on and God Bless.
Gotta say, much respect to X for the grace with which he has handled himself over the last few days. The amount of nonsense posted in this thread is ridiculous.
All local shitstorms have migrated to this thread.

upon further review I misread his post. the few lifts prior to that were for reps so I just assumed the front squat was reps not a single… you’re right.

I certainly agree with you. But I didn’t read his post as “for reps” for one thing, and for someone talking the way he is, I would expect more, based on what he is saying.
I’ve been front squatting for a couple months now and can hit 315 for 2 or 3 on a good day, lol, I’m well aware that isn’t child’s play, it is actually hard as shit. But then again I’m not calling from the rooftops about how much better I am than someone either with no prior effect for my cause.
Now if Meat of H$M want to rip on someone and use their FS as a basis to do so… Well that is a bit different.
Am I making sence? I’m just trying to pick on ramblingscott, stop killing my joy greg.
But then again, if I can hit a certain number on a lift, I’m going to have to believe it isn’t all THAT hard, lol.

Exactly. He’s strong but not strong enough to justify the attitude in his posts. That wouldn’t happen in the PL/OL sections.

Agreed. Way overdone on both ends.
LOLing at how troll/shitstorm free the PL section is right now. Traffic matters.
I’m sure Prof X knows the weaknesses that he has in his physique and you could see that he trained very hard, especially changing to the way that CT trains.
He has a very strong physique and if he keeps losing fat then I’m
One thing that I was wondering is why CT didn’t instruct you regarding Calves, which are by far your weakest bodypart, or did I miss something?

So…I got blocked out of the Indigo livespillage thing.
Someone was giving me shit for not putting myself out there.
Here’s my youtube page. I’m no hercules but I’m doin alright. Just started doing the olympic lifts in April but have been training before then. 135lb One Arm Snatch. 195lb Clean & Strict Standing Press. Weighted Dips with 135 of added weight for reps. Muscle-Ups for reps. 140kg deep front squat. All done under 200 pounds.
Someone also said that I couldn’t say anything unless I was training in the high altitude conditions of colorado. Whatever. I’ve made PRs in 100+ heat on top of the oppressive humidity that saturates the southeast. Injuries. I’ve got 2 bulging disks and a herniated one to book. My right LCL doesn’t feel too cool either. But excuses are like…you know what. They’re about halfway between the floor and your head and everyone’s got one. And is anyone seriously trying to deny my ability to criticize Professor X because I haven’t been in EXACTLY his same situation? That’s absurdly dismissive. Keep that line of thinking up and see where it gets you.
I don’t buy this pile of bullshit that Professor X doesn’t care about what people think. He couldn’t brush off my anonymous internet hater self. Instead he sat at a computer for hours waiting for me to respond. He can’t back away like he’s been speaking softly, nudging people with advice here and there. It’s always hyperbole, strawman arguments, and immediately dismissing anyone who says anything contrary to "Eat Big Macs every day and get above 20% bodyfat, No need to Squat or Pull, blahblahblah. Nietzsche didn’t even write with that same level of conviction. Hell, the Bible isn’t even written with that same level of conviction and blind certainty you’ll find in thousands and thousands of his posts. He says he’s just talking because he has a voice? That’s makes about as much sense as dropping trow and taking a deuce anywhere you please just because you can. There’s a time and a place. And if you aren’t strong and you don’t have a physique then the time and place to tell people how to train and how to eat is never.
I don’t even know why Biotest foots the bill for his trip, stay, and training. He doesn’t do much in the way of pimping their products. He scares more people away from the site than he attracts. Come on, Biotest. Invite Wendler, Tate, Shelby, and Meadows over to train. That would make for a sick video. Bring back that Jacked Bald dude who was pressing over 100g. Bring over Jason Pegg - that guy pimps Biotest products harder than almost anyone.
All that being said it’s easy to just sit at a computer and unleash the fingers onto a keyboard. I don’t actually believe that when someone asks how to build biceps Professor X is actually sitting at his computer shouting as he types in all caps. From the videos he seems like a nice guy. Obviously friendly enough to befriend CT and CS. Not full of himself. Really a completely different person than his internet persona. I’m not rooting against Professor X. If he’s Benching 500 and ripped to ribbons by the time he leaves colorado I guess that would be cool. I really wouldn’t give a shit. I’d certainly look into the kind of training he did to get those results but on a personal level I wouldn’t care. I don’t know him. I just know some cartoon avatar that he’s the puppeteer of.
Eh, that might be a lie. I won’t be let down if X succeeds but I do admit to being thoroughly entertained by these training videos. Any attempt to gain credibility by putting himself out there, while a noble effort, has blown up in his face. He’s not lean enough for the body measurements he brags about to mean anything. I mean - 28 inch legs and you struggle with a Mid-300s Deadlift? His bragged about numbers of repping 400+ on bench are gone so why should I believe he has the muscle under the fat to back up his past claims? People try to defend him and say that he hasn’t done Barbell Bench in years. Those Grey Bands off a big EFS Colligate Rack help a TON. That weight isn’t even close to 400. The weight he struggled to deadlift is weight he claimed he could t-bar row, so it should have been easy money for him. Strength doesn’t just up and disappear completely, nor is it supremely specific to each lift. AJ Roberts never trained dips, just bench, but went to Zach Even-Esh’s gym and did a weighted dip where his bodyweight and the chains he wore added up to well over 500. Back in the day the World’s Strongest Man implements weren’t available to train with in the off season. Guys just Pressed, Pulled, and Squatted then showed up and lifted heavy ass weight in lifts they hadn’t done in a year. Glenn Pendlay hasn’t seriously trained in years but a few weeks ago just got the whim to pull 600 off the floor so he did it.
Be smart. You can give someone the benefit of every single, unreasonable doubt and respect every single excuse or you can think critically and figure out when someone has been lying. [/quote]
