You folks need to stop revering people with magical poundages and physiques. There is something called knowledge and it something we should all strive for. Now, I'm getting off this particular board because frankly I have learned nothing from it. I've got to start reading a lot more and stop...

"Can you please explain? " Yes, there is a direct correlation between wrist and ankle size and what kind of strength you will achieve. -Zulu

"sounds like progressive overload to me." Not really. 'Do increased work capacity, volume, and endurance equal bigger muscles? " It sure does :) -Zulu

Yeah, I'm the bad guy. The 600 pound bencher said nothing to rile me up. Twice he addressed himself to me for the sole purpose of insulting me. Sugarcoated or not. I never doubted his intelligence orknowledge. But I want stand by and watch as I get insulted. Peace. -Zulu

Same here. -Zulu

" Your idea's of hypertropy not being used in powerlifting," WOW. What a blatant misrepresentation of my views. I feel hypertrophy is very important in acheiving maximal strength. " And if you dont have success with your program change it. You obviously have not had much success with it if...

Singles are ideal in terms of rep range as form usually starts to falter in later reps. As for sets, that depends on all the other variables in your training regimen. -Zulu

"I am wondering, is taking sets to failure just as hard on the CNS whether you take a 1 or 3 minute break between sets?" Pretty much. By taking long rests your just allowing maximal rest between sets so you can duplicate the previous sets. "f so what is the point of not taking a long break...

I'd perform the deadlift first as you want to prioritize it. In terms of strengthening the Deadlift I'd look into: 1.) Muscle weaknesses. To identify these you'll have to tell us where you fail on the deadlift and what your strong points are. 2.) Increasing CNS efficiently. Simply put...

How is my vocabulary scientific? I guess Ive grown accustomed to a more extensive vocabularly from all the philosophical/religous debates I have on other boards. I don't purposefully use difficult words...If I did; you'd really notice it ;) "or you are a extremely educted person, but you lose...

How much do you weigh?? -Zulu

I think recreational drugs do relate to training. Some elite athletes use stimulants [such as cocaine] before maximum attempts. Arnold was known to smoke marijuana after lifting [the specifics of which escape me]. What board should questions about drugs/alcohol be asked on? My main...

"2 - Question is VERY sound.....why isn't it? " Because various variables interact with each other. What good is asking about frequency when it directly related to volume, intensity, effort, recuperation?? " However, zzZuluzz has been spending some time on the powerlifting board so he might...

I have discussed plenty of things with plenty of people. You think I'm incapable of debating this issue? Half your posts have been ad hominem attacks towards me which I have no intent of pursueing. Your hypocrisy is blatant. But by all means, continue to pollute this thread. Stop...

Well, I pull evenly conventional and sumo. One more observation: my lats are always sore after deadlifts. It's like I'm only lifting with my lower/upper back. I know my form is crap. Thanks for the information concerning the hamstrings :) -Zulu
