The power Lifting Brick Heads that dont appreciate BODYBUILDERS who last MUCH longer then they do ( longevity) get VERY flustered when someone best them when YEARs form now they are stonger and much better looking.
The NBA and being a "basketball player" have little to do with each other.
People saying that they are "bodybuilding" is something used very loosely. I was promoting what you were saying, when I quoted you. Those that compete...are competitors in the Sport of Bodybuilding. I agree 100% with that.
A 155 lb guy who tells me that they are doing "bodybuilding" when they need to be "laying the foundation for years to come so that they can someday step foot on a stage" bothers me. I hear it all the time here (I run a supplement shop and spend a lot of time working with people in gyms as well as gym owners).
I for sure don't have what it takes to be a bodybuilder, it isn't the "type of sport" that thrills me. I like to go out and get dirty and "play with my events" and it makes me feel good about what I do. I have been doing A LOT of reps lately. Like a 7.5 minute set of atlas stones, or shooting for some 20 rep front squat set goals, or lots of circuit leg training (that can last upwards of 20 minutes) and the rewards have been great for my size and my strength.
Two different type of people come up to me and ask the same question..."How can I build my traps?" and I have different answers.
1) 155 lb guy who might look like he lifts weights when he takes his shirt off and I will say "deadlift heavy weights"
2) Mr. Cyprus (where I live) who looks amazing from head to toe and I say "You mean whatever you are doing isn't working great?".
I guess that the point that I want to make is the advice that you give completely depends on the person asking the question. The beginner needs to be doing basic movements that will make his entire body grow. The actual bodybuilder may end up overtraining the rest of his body by doing really heavy movements (i.e. he may end up overworking his back and not able to do his normal routine).
But 99% of the "so called bodybuilders" that I meet would love to have traps, arms, and a chest like mine...and I don't train any of them directly. That part they can't find a way to put in their minds at all.
You know I'm not hard headed...just don't ask my wife!
