I don't give a shit whether or not people use it, nor do I care whether or not someone's natty. Online "natty" lifters are just like half the edge kids back in the day- they make a lot of noise about how cool they are while sucking. I didn't break my edge until I was 27, and frankly fought more hardline kids while edge than anyone who wasn't edge, because they're assholes. When someone describes themself as "natty", they're excusing their shitty lifts, by and large- otherwise, they'd shut the fuck up and lift.<br /><br />Your logic is sound- people say that silliness on boards all the time. I've never said my way was in any way superior to any other, but have proposed an alternative to the mainstream. That doesn't stop people from acting like I'm Jesus online, which prompts other people to say I'm full of shit.

I work in the natural lifting realm in the US and know a shit-ton of natural bodybuilders and powerlifters who use all sorts of routines, including 5x5s, and are:<br /><br />A) Stronger than a bear.<br />B) Have great size for being a natty.<br /><br />I personally profile, interview and talk with these guys every day. <br /><br />Some of these opinions are pure fairyland nonsense. You might see the pussification of 5x5 on BB.com or wherever, but let's keep it real here. Don't start becoming what you adhor.<br /><br />Your quoted opinion is nothing but bullshit, and you need to be called on it.<br /><br />Let me try your logic...<br /><br />"Every time I read a defense of C&P it begins and ends with a pack of bullshit about it being the only way to make real gains..."<br /><br />Blah blah blah.<br /><br />I have a natural and raw 1500 3-lift total, am an old fuck, train using a 5x5 fullbody, and see you turning into the exact type of individual you attack...<br /><br />If you would like to see the Youtube videos of my lifts.

Stands to reason that they would know the value of training the neck. I don't know, do bodybuilders get judged on their neck?<br /><br />But that's not what I came here to write. This is from Roosevelt's autobiography that I'm reading right now. It really stood out for me. This was while President:<br /><br />"After a few years I had to abandon boxing as well as wrestling, for in one bout a young captain of artillery cross-countered me on the eye, and the blow smashed the little blood vessels. Fortunately it was my left eye, but the sight has been dim ever since, and if it had been the right eye I should have been entirely unable to shoot. Accordingly I thought it better to acknowledge that I had become an elderly man and would have to stop boxing... I THEN TOOK UP JIU JITSU FOR A YEAR OR TWO."<br /><br />I would be a lot more interested in politics if there were more world leaders like this guy around today. I'd rather have a judo chopping bare chested horse riding (albeit sinister) motherfucker like Vlad Putin in number 10 than that fucking salmon faced toff Cameron.KChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10759426638558374845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5835524249360195666.post-915056470777298402011-01-20T19:49:37.200-05:002011-01-20T19:49:37.200-05:00Interesting article.

The diference between gifted individuals and less gifted is in my opinion so narrow that the principles that govern the training of both groups are the same.Duviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05168844808631690813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5835524249360195666.post-25402085356202361392011-01-20T13:13:08.866-05:002011-01-20T13:13:08.866-05:00Cool thanks man, i'll give it at least 14 days...Cool thanks man, i'll give it at least 14 days and see how my performance in the gym is before deciding if i need a carb day.Cockneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18067494346005421195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5835524249360195666.post-47670735116385905732011-01-20T11:09:45.468-05:002011-01-20T11:09:45.468-05:00It's general consensus that you should go at l...It's general consensus that you should go at least 10 days for your initial couple of runs.

Or even Kubik's (which is basically all of the aforementioned stuff reworked- I mean this is a good way.)<br />I think it may have to do with the fact that the "Fitness" industry thrives off of novel ideas- if a trainer had you come in and told you that anywhere from (basically) 3-8 exercises could make you look like whatever you wanted, then the entire industry would cease to exist.<br />I know this isn't some kind of revelation, but I lift at a University gym and about 95% of the people I see in there forget that they are lifting weights, and the idea of lifting weights is to add more weight.<br />I actually got this comment once, while deadlifting,<br />"Bro, lighten the weight so you can get better reps."AreThoseNewShoes?https://www.blogger.com/profile/04333283567567818098noreply@blogger.com
