Exactly. At a certain point, it may take 99.9% more effort to make 0.1% gains. At that point, I would agree that the person's gains are being limited by genetics.

Yes, but the other part of your statement was that there is always room for improvement, which isn't necessarily true. Your genetic limit does not take place in a vacuum, but, is determined by the...

I disagree -- Reaching the point to where genetics is the only limiting factor in your progress is impossible in the real world .... not just because of things you don't do perfectly, but also...

Look up the "so you think you can squat" series on youtube. Best squatting tutorial out there IMO. I have been squatting for years, and I still watch it every now and then for a refresher.

Good post GJ. I often think about this myself. What will I do when I can no longer gain strength? As I get older, I know that eventually, strength gains are going to stop, and even reverse...

Bro, I would keep that sh!t to myself if I were you. :D

Not surprising to me -- The type of self-determined mentality that motivates a person to become strong is likely the same mentality that underlies one's political beliefs. Similarly, people who do...

^^ This. Not only will you not recover well from your workout, but it will also hamper your ability to get well. It depends on what you mean by "sick" though. If I have the sniffles and maybe a...

Just so you know -- I wasn't trying to be a dick ... Just being honest. Like I said though, strong lift either way.



I gotcha....It is pretty cool to see all these great lifts. Some of you...

You guys are counting that 460? Don't get me wrong, that is a strong lift, but even in an informal competition it seems strange to count a bench where it looks like the guy pulled on the bar. I...

Honestly though, that is how it is MUCH of the time. I am sure if you were show a video like that to those guys standing there, before this incident occurred, they would most likely echo the...

You must be able to do at least 75 reps. If you can't, then that means you are a big hairy pussy.

OK...maybe not. But, this is a difficult question to answer because it honestly reflects how you...

These discussions are always difficult. Mainly because you get a bunch of people who watched a youtube video, or read a book by one guy, and suddenly they are experts on why the current medical...

I hear people say this all the time, and IMO, it is a terrible idea. The UFC historically has suffered from a very shallow heavyweight talent pool. Only recently have matters improved. If you...

The few times that I have went to the gym hung-over, my workouts sucked ass. Big time. So no, that is completely inconsistent with my experience.



I think the same thing. I don't understand...

Your floccinaucinihilipilification of sesquipedalian people is surely the product of superlative omphaloskeptic ratiocination.

I thought everybody knew this.

Still though, funny clip. :D

True, there is no "I" in team. But there is an "I" in pie, and there is an "I" in "meat pie", and "meat" is an anagram of "team".

In terms of the written word, basically all forms of netspeak: e.g. U mad? pepper your angus, /10, etc. They are f'cking stupid anyway, but when 035ers do it, it makes you look kind of pathetic. ...

Let's not dick each other around here. We all know this is basically another "we fit people are so great" thread. Seriously, even at bb.com, I can't imagine that you are arrogant enough to think...
