Looking for a bodybuilding type workout!

[Sub-Zero]

Chill guys, this thread is starting to bear towards Locksville.

he basically said he refuses to help this guy, and doesnt respect him because his goals are different.

dude shoulda just not even posted in the thread.

a lil rediculous

I am trying to help/save the original poster. How someone can find the fountain of youth (rippetoe) and still want to drink from a water fountain (drop sets) is beyond me.

He asked for advice. My advice was to stick with what was working. Add in some fluff work on Fridays or even have an 'arm' day on Saturday... fine.

HST is very good advice, I agree.

I would echo this too. Go with HST for a few cycles (read up on it - you'll understand), then switch back to your 5x5.

Longevity and looking good will favor the wise lifter who realizes that Body is like a Ferrari
Not a Yellow Construction Dump Truck that once broken STAYS BROKEN

And by the way if you think a Bodybuilder who lifts for the look and much lighter cant rip off someone head if needed, you should look me up

I say experiment and stick with what works out best for you....everyone starts out as a novice, no one is born a bodybuilder....you just need to find out what works best for your body, at your level. Always remind yourself where you need to get...that always works out for me!

My body can handle load b/c I condition for it. Not b/c I have super joints/tendons. I ice my elbows, warm up properly, roll out my hips/glutes/IT band/quads/hammys daily. I stretch for 20+ minutes daily. I do what it really takes to be big and strong.

Sorry , but the majority of the 'peeps' posting on this interweb site are RIDING the gear... period.

Vanity in lifting is dangerous, and makes very little practical sense.

Lack of strength is bullshit. Lazy, lack of gratitude for the opportunity to train, and just plain silly. Compete at something, but if you don't please step back a few steps. It is just not the same.

what a stupid attitude, shows a lot of ignorance. I train like a bodybuilder, yet have posted strength vids on here that beat most guys on here that train as powerlifters(ie, 500lbs deadlift for 9 reps, totally raw, at a bodyweight of 210lbs)...
so I suppose the next comment would be that I am riding the gear, which is generally the cry of the jealous and/or ignorant. My deadlift vid was shot a few months after my first cycle, my first cycle being at age 27 after over 10 years of training...so unless steroids really are the miracle that the ignorant claim they are, then my results and lifts are the result of smart training, mostly as a bodybuilder, over a lot of years

Seems to me like we agree. You are strong, see value in it, etc.

Sorry if you don't like my attitude, but it is more of an opinion than a mantra.

The majority of the people on EF will never look like you. But they will post up their useless training advice, and they certainly ride their gear.

Your physique demands respect NS, so why you are taking my comments personally I am not sure.

I did see a lot of value in being strong, personally I find I spent too many years training that heavy, now my body is paying for it, I cant squat anymore, and I stopped deadlifting a while ago too....and funny thing is I am bigger now and have a better physique
I reacted because it felt like you were talking about bodybuilders in general, and all the ones I train with are beasts, training really heavy and brutally hard, and none of them rely on the gear alone....thats the last piece after food, training and rest...

You are bigger now b/c you put in your time doing the proper barbell work. Drop set's would not have build a good base - right?

My gear riding comment was for the typical EF user. Small, weak, no plan in the gym or kitchen... but on a Gram of Test and EQ (cause that is the new hot aas yo)

While our goals may differ we train/live relativly the same.

BTW - I do your ab routine as do several people in Texas that wanted to know how I got such "big" abs... So thanks!
