My point being Bazza, there are small guys/girls that are very strong and there are big guys that aren't relatively strong.
I never said bodybuilders were weak I just said they are primarily focused on getting big, with size gains comes strength gains.
Your a dickhead. If anyone trained like a bodybuilder it would be Tom Platz. Does the workout below look anything like fucking smolov or westside to you.
Squats 8-12 5-20
Hack Squats 5 10-15
Leg Extensions 5-8 10-15
Lying Leg Curls 6-10 10-15
Standing Calf Raises 3-4 10-15
Seated Calf Raises 3-4 10-15
Hack Machine Calf Raises 3-4 10-15
Yeah because all strength training is 1RM focused.
A routine that is focused on increasing your 8RM can't possibly be "strength training" right?
And as you can see from what you posted, he would ramp up to heavy 5's then go down into volume. What the hell has smolov or westside got to do with anything?
Seriously are people trying to use platz as an example of strength not mattering for muscle growth. One of the worst examples you could pick.
500lb squats for 20+ reps. Na not very strong. Lol.
You are saying they train to get bigger and strength is a byproduct. Isn't that then just a type of strength training.
Look at all the accessory work. Total volume. The fact he was running a 5 day split, on a bulk and cut diet. This is the essence of bodybuilding training you numb nut. Tom Platz was training to be huge and have a small waist, if thats not bodybuilding what the fuck is.
Yeah but bodybuilding isn't just about strength its about training style, diet, getting huge followed by getting lean.
I can give a long, long list of world class powerlifters that train with a 5 day split with bodybuilding volume. It's very popular for the big benchers.
Do you want me to post it?
Bahahaha! I See you've finally met Oni and his 13 inch arms..............
Really couldn't be fucked waiting for you to respond, just checked your log 65kg LOL what the fuck are you a pre teen school girl. If you know so much about world class powerlifitng benching why are you rocking a sub 70kg bench.
Getting called a pre-teen school girl by a guy called elmo
A new first!
And of course, his brilliant hypothesis of that you can magically gain muscle without progressive overload
Dante Trudel on bodybuilding:
Training is all about adaption. In simple terms you lift a weight and your muscle has one of 2 choices, either tear completely under the load (which is incredibly rare and what we don't want) or the muscle lifts the weight and protects itself by remodeling and getting bigger to protect itself against the load (next time). If the weight gets heavier, the muscle has to again remodel and get bigger again to handle it. You can superset, superslow, giant set, pre exhaust all day long but the infinite adaption is load---meaning heavier and heavier weights is the only infinite thing you can do in your training. Intensity is finite. Volume is finite (or infinite if you want to do 9000 sets per bodypart)...everything else is finite. The Load is infinite and heavier and heavier weights used (I DON'T GIVE A CRAP WHAT SOME BUCK 58 POUND WRITER FROM FLEX MAGAZINE SAYS) will make the biggest bodybuilder

kai greene
If you're trying to say that Kai Greene always lifted the same weights you're wrong
