I'm not trying to argue here, but what you are stating does not make much sense - from my perspective.
"a new poster trying to lose that much has not trained properly."??
what does his post count have to due with his training? just because he is new to this site in no way means he is new to training - the two are completely un-related.
mind you - yes - he may be new to the gym, but this cannot be determined by his post count.
personally, I'm getting tired of people equating post count to intelligence. I have been here since 03' by no means a “newbie”. Recently I have started spending some time on another board - and thus my post count there is very low. Does that mean I don’t know what I’m talking about over there? Or for that matter, just because I’ve been here for 6 years, does not necessarily mean I know what im talking about either.
Instead of judging people based on their post count or join date, I would rather see us asking questions regarding actual training and diet - which of course many of the good bros on here regularly do.
