Lifting like a body builder...

[hurricane]

controled movement .. feeling the muscles .. hitting the correct muscle group..performing the excercise right is much more important then throwing around heavy weights IMO .. if u can work out heavy RIGHT then so be it but some idiots are just throwin heavy weight around with no idea on what they doing

IMO each muscle needs to be treated differently.

IMO each muscle needs to be treated differently.

Which is true, some respond to better to high reps and some low reps... hence fast twitch and slow twitch muscles.

i think a fast twitch slow twitch muscle list thread is needed here

I masturbate a lot. This has nothing to do with this thread. I just felt like announcing this.

 

[abolish the weak]

Bodybuilders can go heavy, we just dont much of the time because once you build your base development and definition mean more. It's easy to hold your size given the right amounts of food, protien, and yes anabolics. But no bodybuilder looks huge w/out being strong. Where there is mass, there is power, and vice versa. Once or twice/month is enough to grow when it comes to heavy weights

You have to lift heavy there is no conversation or debate, if you want to build your muscles and be a body builder you have to lift heavy


OVER

OH NO YOU DONT

but as Cracker said Strength is somewhat of a Relative term

i am 43 yers old and my teenage sons will not introduce me to their girlfreinds. "dad we get sick of hearing it." i walk down the strip in vegas and women do 180's. it aint braggin if its true. you DO NOT have to go heavy to look good. what is the point if you are not a powerlifter. a true powerlifter who competes. powerlifting is incredible sport and i have the utmost respect.

I recently read an article discussing bench strength of top bodybuilders versus top powerlifters. It addresses some of the issues discussed in this thread.

If anyone is interested, the link is http://www.criticalbench.com/bodybuilders-bench-pressing.htm
