I'm not a weight lifter, I'm a bodybuilder - Kai Greene

[Rambodian]

What does a 200KG deadlift got to do with anything, random...

It's a representation of overall strength, nothing more nothing less. If you can deadlift 200kg, than you can generally do heavier isolation work, it's a given.
Kai is just leaving his ego at the door, when he does an isolation exercise, he fully concentrates on the 'isolation' factor, which denotes how much weight he can lift in the movement.

since when has lifting weight been so argumentative .............get out from behind the screen and move some goddamned weight.lol

a 200kg would suggest you've spent some time under the bar and therefore actually have some knowledge on the topic of hypertrophy and strength.

 

[0ni]

We were all 70kg once

 

[RyanF]

Son you made me laugh good n proper.

Oli, I'm guessing our forum member Fadi probably can't deadlift 200kg right now, but I think the general consensus among the community here is that he's more than earned his opinions.

fadi has been lifting for years and could have at some point.

Would you listen to a 'guitarist' who couldn't play smoke on the water?

How about getting a builder with no qualification or experience to build your family home?

I think you're missing the point entirely
200kg is an arbitrary number

I think that's entirely the point I was making.

 

[Goosey]

Analysis paralysis doesn't work quite as well.

so? its piss weak, any capable male could do it after a few months of training.

Lol I don't think so.

 

[Bazza20]

Lol at this.

The bloke benches 500+ lb and squats 800. If he wants to curl pink 5 kg dumbbells or whatever he has already built a huge strength base and huge amount of muscle by lifting heavy weight.

Now you have blokes reading this that are unlikely to total what Kai squats going on about weight lifted doesn't matter at all and it all about concentrating on the muscle and what ever other bullshit.

You have to build the basics first.

No-one said here that weight doesn't matter at all Bazza

My point is you don't get big by lifting tiny weights.

 

[Darkoz]

My point is you don't get big by lifting tiny weights.

And no-on said to use tiny weights either

 

[nazzysmith]

Arnie and Ronnie where elite power lifters long before they where bbers....

 

[Darkoz]

Not sure how that is relevant to this discussion

 

[Bazza20]

Are we reading the same thread?

Talk of getting huge legs on 65kg squats

Not using over 15kg for curls


"It's how hard you work. Not weight lifted."

People thinking a 200kg dead is an unrealistic goal for a male.

Anyway, not sure what the hell is going on these days or why people seem to have made the business of building muscle so bloody complicated, when it's not.

It's because building muscle takes time. People don't see results straight away and think its not working and overcomplicate it.

Stick to the basics and progress over time and you will get results.
