If one were to do these movements only,

Dips
chins
Squats
Deadlifts

2-3 times per week, Starting at bodyweight for chins and dips and maybe 100-200 for squats and dead, working up so you can rep out 200lbs with the dips and Chins, and being able to squat and deadlift 500-600lbs for reps. (all hypothetical)

would one be able to assume that this person to be one huge dude?

Simple yes or no...

Define Huge?

 

[MohawkMuscle]

well someone who is built...

230lbs 19"arms 29legs ect...

There is an end result to this poll which I will post tomorow.

Not always I can do much of that at a Bw of 190 or so. really depends on height age and other factors...

You'll get big doing what you've mentioned above. I did almost the same excercises for 6 months and I got thick, but no definition. The mesurments you mentioned are similar to mine, except my arms are around 17 inches. I stopped training for one year when I moved from Montreal to Toronto. Now I follow a more traditional training program, but it was not a problem to get my size back with the help of FINA. But, there's no way I can deadlift 600lbs. 300 is my max.

My reasoning was, (maybe I should of worded it differently)

If it were possible to get big by working hard on those exercises then why do so many people use many exercises withing their workout?

Because those excercises are hard and the average Joe doesn't want to feel any pain, god damn they don't even want to sweat.... It is possible to get really big off those excercises, I know when I first started to lift I only did squats, deads, military press, and dips, that was the way I learned and I was very strong for my age and weight... plus now later in life I find it easy to do the hard lifts and more satisfying....

When I see stuff like this I always get the feeling it's a loaded question. I can think of a few relatively smaller guys who can hit those lifts. I can think of a lot of really big guys who can't. 500-600 for reps is a shitload - what rep range matters a lot.

I definietly believe people use far too many specialty exercises that dilute their efforts and serve to only take recovery away - and this makes their training shit and them a lot smaller than they could be (alternatively, they use juice to augment their shitty training stimulus and blow up to some degree anyway). This is definitely valid accross the population and the topic is certainly valid accross the population but there are a number of individual cases (outliers) to where a small guy can make relatively huge compound lifts compared to a big guy who's performance blows. This is true for naturals as well as roiders. Hell, look at the video of the Olympic Lifter squatting at the Arnold, not a particularly big guy but a ton of strength. Then I'm sure you can find some really big guys on the anabolic board who can't squat or pull 5-600 even for a single.
