Excessive strength is bad? How is that even possible?

 

[ximor]

Well Ill continue to train within my means but if you ever want to let go of any of this priceless info for less than 300$ let me know because im always interested in new ideas. I understand that alot of this knowledge can cut years out of the training. I see plenty of guys in the gym who look like shit but workout 3 times as much as the next guy.

More power to ya Omega but ill stick to the free info!

I think this applies real well to people who train like bodybuilders.
When you are training to achieve a certain look to your physique the rules change than when you are going for just strength.
The way it has applied to me personally, is having excessive strength in some body parts has made it almost impossible to train other parts properly and effectively. I'm having to unlearn how to train the way I did most of my life.

I have nothing but respect for you BRR, but that make no practical sense. What good does a "look" do w/out any practical application?

Are you saying b/c my delts are so strong I can't train my biceps properly? I need a more specific example w/out difulging the ever so secretive techniques of Omega.

 

[fortunatesun]

al, I realize you're more the technician than you let on.

I believe they're refering to imbalances in strength acheived through their training regimens that are inappropriate to their long term goals. For instance, it would make no sense for a bballer to squat 1000 lbs. if it meant having to carry extraneous bulk that would slow him physically or if he lacked the upper body strength to take advantage of his squating ability.

HTH

Word. Spread the word brotha.

I see what you mean, and don't think everyone needs a 1k back squat. Other than that I can't really speak my mind on the issue. I do find humor in a 'new and improved' training theroy.

When I joined EF the guy peddling his plan was named Sean Nananjay or something like that... musclegaintruth or some shit... Same info in a new shiney box...

Thanx for the props bro, much respect to you as well.

I'm all about practical strength. No point in looking all buff when you can't perform... How often do we need to perform though?

Please define what you consider practical application. I think this differs for all of us depending on our goals. The "practical" part of it being the key. Whats practical strength for a Powerlifter is useless to a martial artist, and any of the goals that both those train for, might be a waste of time and effort for the common man. Its all about goals and what each of us strives for.

I don't know OMEGA or really many people on here anymore (so obviously I can't vouch for many people), but if I believed that there was a guy out there who could take me to the next level...10x that much wouldn't keep me from seeking out his advice.

I don't know what OMEGA has these guys doing but if I was looking at their progress and it was impressive...I'd pay. One of my worst weaknesses is my overhead press and if there was a guy on the internet charging a tiny $300 and producing amazing gains on other strongmen's overhead press...I'd have the money wired by the end of the week.

Al would probably be the first to agree with me on this...but I'd bet that if there was someone out there who could help take him to his next level...he would do it too. I know that he has spent countless hours studying (and helping others) to the inth degree.

 

[fortunatesun]

Though I sometimes disagree with Omega,Id be the first to admit that from what I've seen posted, his results are impressive.

You know bfold, this sounds like something you could do from your deck chair.
