Carnal's treatise on heavy Iron

fucking awesome article !!!!!! i wish i could post this up at my gym for all the curling morons checking themselves out in the mirror, get the fk out of my squat rack LOL

This X 100. Amazing article (just read). Nice first post fellow white belt. "Could you go do your straight bar curls in the tanning room where they belong. Men have work to do."

I noticed he was banned after reading through the thread which sucks..
 
He had checked out long before he was banned. At least much of his hard work has been preserved for posterity.
 
He made bigoted posts, and got banned. Most likely on purpose.
 
I've read this like 5 times and I just realized that he meant to say mac and cheese, and then pizza with lots of meat, not mac and cheese pizza with lots of meat. Even though I'm sure the latter would be fucking delicious.

Seriously though, good bump good read as always. It's interesting to see the comments over the years you can see the community changes. Very neat.
 
I read this when I had just started training (in January or so) and I didn't get it. Now I get it.
 
I have this article saved and go back to it from time to time.
 
That's some great ass recovery when you don't sleep all night and sit in front of your computer in 6 in the morning.

Also anybody read the FAQ on 10 oils and how to use them in the Dieting forum ? They mention the vegetable and corn oils to be BAD and pizza is full of them, like literary over half the calories form pizza come from fat sources you have been advised to avoid in the sticky of the Dieting & supplementation forum.

But I'm sure most of you still get a good kick out of reading this on a motivation level.

MikeMartial also wouldn't recommend corned beef hash, ice cream, or just about any of the other stuff Carnal talks about.

If you're looking for "clean" gains, and you can achieve that, then you shouldn't follow Carnal's advice. The strength of his advice is simply that guys who have difficulty gaining muscle usually have difficulty because they're just that rare breed who don't naturally want to stuff their faces, and they're usually helped by focusing on foods that pack a shitload of calories in foods that taste ridiculously good.
 
Amazing thread. I've put on pounds of muscle and more pounds on the end of the bar since I read it earlier this year. Many thanks Carnal.

Bump for awesomeness
 
The thread was bumped first, then re-stickified.

Glad to see this re-stickified, btw.

Way to bump a stickied thread, KnuckleSangwich.

Definitely was stickied after I bumped it (thanks miaou). So I think that makes it what is referred to as an "epic bump." You fail. Good to see it stickied again +1.

From seeing some of the recent posts/threads in this section many people need to read this.

Ah, I stand corrected, and apologize.

I liked Carnal a lot, wish he would visit some time.

It's all good. Honestly when I bumped it and came back and didn't see it with the regular threads I thought it got deleted again. Then I saw it got stickified.

I believe Carnal got banned/bored with the forum years ago. Maybe I'm way off. I wish he would make random appearances from time to time as well.
 
Can't believe i've been lurking back here this long and just now read this. :redface:
 
i don't know man
i saw carnal's pics and he's not exactly athletic and shouldn't give advice on strength and conditioning.
