I'm surprised both of you "so knowledged guys" are argueing over lifts.

One of you mentionned muscle maturity. That is entirely correct. But did you both forget that come to a certain point in weights, going any higher is alot harder. Not just in bodyweight but in max lifts as well.


You can't keep the same going rate all the time. Or else you'd regularly see 8000 pounds guys lifting planets.


Your lifts are good, but your % at 190-200 (which seems to be the most efficient weight class) can hardly be beaten by a 280 pounds guy.

I admire your patience.

ONCE AGAIN -- I don't claim to be "knowledged" by any means. Far from it, I say repeatedly I'm here to learn from everyone. This all started because of 1 issue... PWO Nutrition.

Was wondering if too much peanut butter in your diet is a bad thing.  I heard peanut butter is great for bulking, was wondering if you can overdo it.

lol

speaking of epic fail...

notice "From www.t-nation.com" and the quotes around that? Do I claim to write any of that? It's simply one example of writing that supports what I am saying. Not citing page numbers is a lot better than what you're doing.

I understand you are raging right now and find the need to smash your keyboard furiously in these long-winded attempts to discredit me (by saying I plagiarize) -- laughable

Continue to impress us with your SUPERIOR EGO

"This astounds me. next time you try to come off as a brilliant sage, who knows everything about post-workout nutrition and the biology of the human body in relation to aminos and uptake...please at least TRY to do your OWN research, and not rip off some guy on the internet - who also probably ripped off most of his sources."

I've already addressed the MAIN POINT you are trying to make which just demonstrates you didn't even read the post I made (interesting). Secondly, where do I claim to be a sage? This is your own idea, your own perspective because you feel threatened (see my argument about ego/being challenged)

"And now lets wrap it up with a little talk about Justin Harris. You want to prove your point because ONE bodybuilder that you have read an article about (who also owns Troponin Nutrition) says some of the things that you happen to agree with unconditionally. First off, if one of the MANY bodybuilders that I lift with (or have lifted with) are "taking gear" - very easily so could your famed Justin Harris. So lets not get off topic."

Mr. Florida. The fact that Justin Harris took or is taking steroids is NOT the issue. The issue is of post-workout nutrition. Am I saying if you do what you say, your muscle will turn into butter? No, we're simply discussing optimal ways of doing things.

"Before I even continue, lets get a few things straight. I am not a pro-card bodybuilder. I am a professional in the sport of bodybuilding, power lifting, nutrition, fitness, anatomy/physiology, and biology. I lift as a hobby, not as a professional. Please name one bodybuilder you know that also attends medical school and works (which totals to 80 hours per week!). Exactly. So before you try to start comparing me to people, understand this, I never once tried to say that I was the best 191 lb (bulked) bodybuilder there is...I never once said there were others who aren't bigger, stronger, faster, or better than me in the sport - there are TONS. However, not one of them goes to med school, or helps people online free of charge, or dedicates themselves to their clients at work. "

Hey Mr. Ego, I know it helps you sleep at night thinking your life is so grand and you're so unique, but honestly, get over yourself. You've just spent so much time ranting about post-workout nutrition when I simply said "Hey, I think this is a better idea" Go to class or something

"First off he weighs over 280lbs off season. That is nearly 100 lbs more than me in my off season....not 50 lbs as you stated. (as bad at math as you are at researching things on your own?)

In addition, he has several years of age more than me as well, muscle maturity is an important factor here.

Moreover, his lifts are the following @ 280 lbs.

876lb squat (313% squat)
573lb bench (204% bench)
700lb deadlift (250% deadlift)

(source: http://insidebodybuilding.***/2007/05/brand-new-bodybuildingprocom-interview.html)


if you insist on comparing, here are mine @ 190 lbs.

455 squat ATG (223% squat)
405lb bench (213% bench)
425lb deadlift x2 (224% deadlift for 2 reps)


So yes, he has better percentages than me on the squat...which was probably a 90 degree and not an ATG squat....my bench is slightly better....and his deadlift was for one rep and not two..."

At this point I can't take you seriously. I honestly can't. To put his lifts and your lifts side by side and to say what you just said shows how little you understand. You have no clue man. I don't know why I am bothering with someone who doesn't even know what it's like to have 500 pounds on their back.

"In essence, I'm not impressed at all, considering that this man is a dedicated full time bodybuilder, who is several years older than me. You failed to manage to even provide someone impressive enough to make one bit of difference.

Had you shown me evidence of Jay Cutler, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Flex Wheeler, Franco Columbu, Dorian Yates, etc etc etc. Agreeing with your points 100% (and not for a supplement ad) , then I might take them into furthered research."

Let me just stop you before you make an absolute travesty of someone who is so much more accomplished than you. Justin Harris is not a full time bodybuilder. He's competed in a bodybuilding show and he's also done powerlifting meets. However, like you said, he owns a company, has a family and works tirelessly. And don't be so high on your horse, check elitefts.com, he gives FREE training advice CONSTANTLY to COUNTLESS more people than you and for years longer.

I guess the UNIVERSITY OF MIAMI MEDICAL SCHOOL is just where all the superior humans are studying. If you're here to offer free help to people, do it. I've decided to challenge one of your ideas and you've been saying the same things in all your rants... because that's what they are. Rants.

Also -- BCAA mass loading, sure do it, it's not convenient but it has it's benefits. Poliquin, I mentioned it already.


Delusional, that's what you are. If you see an 850+ squat and you think what you just posted in your head, you have ISSUES.

I do have to admit he's a bit over clouds in terms of ego.

I'm impressed he spent so much dedicated time helping people out here, I really do. But it's extremely hard for me to respect someone who's ego is bigger than the moon.

Raynor:

i hear all this talk about spiking insulin levels post workout.  after i lift i take 2 scoops of whey, 5g plain old creatine monohydrate, 5g bcaa, and a big ass banana (seriously they're huge. they are the ron jeremy of bananas.)  so does the banana have enough simple carbs to put my insulin where it needs to be?  if not what should i replace it with?  i'd prefer a whole food over some kind of supp, mostly because i have to do all this in my car on the way from the gym to work. so convenience is an issue.

thanks in advance, man

1. A person comes in the thread where I give advice - then tells me how to do things.

2. I retort with the corrections to his original ideas, proving them wrong.

3. He fires back with googled info, copy pastes it into the box, and lets fly - hoping to prove his point.

4. I spent more time on here than anyone else, doing so much for everyone, that I have ZERO TOLERANCE to be challenged for the sake or arguement. This is not a debate thread. Do you walk up to trainers at the gym and say "hey pal you're training this guy wrong..". No, of course not. Do not tell me how to do things in my thread that I use to help everyone else.

It is a matter of respect, which I have received none from the likes of either of you apparently.

if you don't like how things are conducted here, leave.
