Carnal's treatise on heavy Iron

I think what GZA meant is that the BB routines used by guys who are anywhere near the top of their competitions aren't mindless.
 
The problem with BB is that all the curl monkeys flock to it therefore it gets a bad rep and people assume BB = stupid, people forget that there are some BB who actually train properly and know what theyre doing.

Theres some BB-focused guys on that forum who have YouTube vids up of them performing tons of lifts to a really good level.

One example off the top of my head is a user called bskola (look his YouTube vids up)

he does bodybuilding but all his lifts are really solid unfortunately hes part of a very small minority in the BB community.

I don't know what you see in him. There was one vid of him half-repping 225 for a bunch of reps, and then there's this.

dudes stronger than 90% of the people in SnP
 
Hes stronger than me but those "box squats" were dumb, no matter how much weight is on the bar.
 
I don't know what this thread is talking about now because I didn't read anything but the first page, but that article was fucking awesome. I feel like I should go down to a farm and eat a cow alive right now.

Thank you. Could we get this thread back on track & quit messing up one of the top 1% of threads on sherdog
 
Just for the record, I have no issue with REAL bodybuilders, even at the local level. Competitive bodybuilders put themselves through hell to reach stage shape, and if nothing else they deserve respect for their determination.

Are male beauty pageants queer? Oh yeah.

Are the participants extremely disciplined and hard working? Yep.

It's just a dichotomy we need to respect. Bodybuilders are my brothers in iron just like weightlifters and strongmen and what not. What they do is kinda gay, but most of the time they're outworking the rest of us to be honest.
 
What the hell is with all the yellow gym equipment? I couldn't stand being around so much yellow junk.
 
Justin Harris also comes to mind when speaking of intelligent bodybuilders who train HEAVY and smart.
