No good pumps for me these days -- only 1-2 sets per bodypart --and still growing (I think :-) ). I'd say at the very least, growth is not dependent on the pump.

Two reasons - drugs, and I'll let Cornholio discuss the other ;-)

I don't really understand this move. If I lie flat on the ground, then lock my ankles under something, there is no way that I can reverse bend at the knees back to a kneeling position. What am I doing wrong?

1) don't shift your calories too quickly. 2) if you were 18%, you should have started cutting before you did anything

Did you see the shot I was talking of in the tuxedo? It's nuts.

Bfold - couldn't find pictures of the first two. Oh well. Svend is one huge beast, but in most of the shots that I found of him he looked well past 15%. Some into the 20%+ range. His home page has a shot of him looking fairly lean though, and his wedding shots are unreal. He looks about nine...

Yeah, there is one guy in particualar who is very lean, and quite large -- what's his name if you know who I'm thinking of?

I think that most guys in the gyms I've trained in are between the 15-25% range. So, bulking is something that obviously most go a little overboard with. There is no need to worry about that in powerlifting and WSM training etc, but in bodybuilding, if you are natural, I think it's important to...

Yes, sure. That's a fair statement. Here's how I am trying to tackle it these days. I think I let my BF% get slightly out of hand (for my standards) so I'm dieting now and when I hit my goal, I'll be back on the calorie pounding wagon again. This time though, I'm going to try to prolong the...

And I agree with what you just said completely (I prefer a range of 7-13% though, but the problem is that for most people, eating 5-6k calories a day is going to blast them past 15% bodyfat so quickly, their head will spin. You can only build muscle so quickly, and the rest becomes fat. So...

Additionally, you at 6-7% BF would have the exact same strength as you have now, if you could magically become 6 or 7% without losing any muscle whil dieting down. You seem to think otherwise though, how come?

B - for you it makes sense. Your a competitive strength athelete that has no need to be lean. hy you get defensive makes no sense to me man. My point is that for a natural bodybuilder, seriously overeating is not worth it. I never said your diet was useless, although for some reason you insuated...

Yup, time to move on.

If 2 cals can be absorbed, than how can you ignore that from your daily total?

Exodus, you bench 225 30 times? and curl 100 30 times?
