15 y/o tearing phonebook in half

[-Kong-]

hey, i made this video because it was early in the morning and i was bored. yeah, i know it is more technique than strength, but for people who dont know that it looks really dramatic.

(i flip off the cam at the end because a bunch of my buds said i couldnt do it)

anyways if you are bored, enjoy.

"thats not a skinny town phonebook either!" - Skippy Podar


i posted this thread in post your pictures (with no response), but i figured you guys might get a kick out of it too.

(on a side note, i am debating on either powerlifting or bodybuilding. i am planning on competing in both to see which i like more. but i plan on developing my body more to see what happens.)

[TheCore]

Dude, go powerlifting! Bodybuilding competitions got nothing on powerlift competitions!!!

[ABaby]

More money in body building and more opportunities to make money in bodybuilding. For example an above average bodybuilder has the opportunity to be on the cover of a magazine/model, but I wouldn't imagine a powerlifter has those same opportunities.

[TheCore]

Bodybuilding ruined weigthlifting, who cares about having big musles if they can't lift sh*t with it...

Functional muscles all the way!!!

[-Kong-]

i have interest in both, so i will try both. i'm not going to make an official decision before i enter an official contest, chances are i will powerlift because it always seemst there is a "family" involved with teams and such. whereas bodybuilding is the most selfish sport ever. cant eat with you.. cant go out with you... yada yada yada. so i want to see how everything pans out.

next goals - two phone books and or rolling up a frying pan

[Brink007]

yeah man powerlifting all the way!! get ****ing strong!!

[-Kong-]

mhm, i have a feeling if i go into powerlifting i'd branch off into the strongman area with all the cool events.

[TheCore]

In strongman competitions your opponents will come look at you and cheer you on!!!

Not that's sportmanship...!

Yeah, I mean come on. Those guys are all juiced up, that's the only reason they're big at all. Most of em are weaker than my little brother. Stupid non-functional muscles.

[thsfootball]

steroids at 15, huh.. nice..

where at in az are you? Im going to be in tucson in a few months. On topic- Nice grip strength

Most of the "bodybuilders" in my gym can't benchpress 225 lbs if their life depended on it...

[rockhuddy]

Then they're not big. I know powerlifters in my gym who are weak too; what does that have to do with anything?

Are you trying to tell me that successful, competing bodybuilders are weak? That their muscles are just expanded tissue that's not capable of any force output? Gimme a break.

[TheCore]

Well, let's compare the strenght between a successful, competing bodybuilder vs that of an powerlifter...

Which one will be stronger

That said, most bodybuilders don't know sh*t about training correctly, bb magazines have made a lot of people ignorant!!!

Edit; Only powerlifting, olympic lifting, strongman and other forms of STRENGHT training (for athletes ect) are worth doing...

yep

i respect the guy on Animalpak.com (forget his name) that claims he competetively powerlifts and diets down and competes in physique competitions

[rockhuddy]

Here you suggest that bodybuilders are weak and have non-functional muscle, therefore they are worthless.

Well, let's compare the strenght between a successful, competing bodybuilder vs that of an powerlifter...

Here you suggest that bodybuilders are worthless because they are not as strong as professional powerlifters.

So... you concede that they're strong, right? Just not as strong as powerlifters? I'll buy that. But if you try to tell me that pro bodybuilders are weak, I'll laugh in your face. Branch Warren? Johnnie Jackson? Ronnie Coleman? You're telling me that they have non-functional muscle? Get real. The question is, which do you want? Do you want to be a fatass squatting 1000 or would you rather only squat 700, but be in great shape? You're pretty f*ckin strong either way, IMO.

Edit; Only powerlifting, olympic lifting, strongman and other forms of STRENGHT training (for athletes ect) are worth doing...

Ignorance. Bodybuilding is strength training and then eating to get big. You don't get to be 250 ripped with a 225 bench press. Sorry.

steroids... no... not yet. I know most everything about them read A LOT of books, and i still have another 9 years or so before i even start thinking about it!

and i live in Poeria AZ workout at a golds/24 hour fitness

oh, i was just goin by your previous topics. Shane G. (a nationaly competitive teen) lives there, also.

And by the way- Powerlifting is the way to go

[rockhuddy]

Sorry, that's impossible. Either you're a pure strength trainer or you have worthless, non-functional muscle. Can't have both.

Im not on any side ill just say this.

If you are a "fatass" powerlifter who squats 1000 lbs, you have tons of muscle. Therefore you can lose bodyfat and become a "bodybuilder" fairly easy, while as if you are a bodybuilder and want to compete in powerlifting, you will have a tougher time.

Andy Fielder competed at Mr.Minnesota a year or two ago, if i remember correctly.

If you truly want to develop your body and your choosing between bodybuilding and powerlifting, powerlifting IS the best choice. hell actually a mesh of powerlifting/weightlifting/strongman would be better, odd object lifting is lots of fun too and is very tough on your body in a lot of ways barbells and dumbells just aren't!

power ALL the way!

[-Kong-]

*smacks head at obviousness*


howabout i do powerlifting and eat super clean lol. the only thing that shy's me away is that at my age i dont have resources (car/job/money) to get all the stuff like bands and chains and whatnot. unless that is only used at higher levels to tweak training.

If this is true, why aren't more powerlifters dieting down and winning the Mr. Olympia? True, they have muscle mass, but not in the same proportions that a competing bodybuilder will have. Certainly it could be done, but seeing as the money and fame come much easier in bodybuilding than powerlifting, something tells me it's not as simple as dieting down.

And I said it earlier; bodybuilding is powerlifting. Lift heavy f*ckin weights and eat right, and you'll grow. It's not complicated. It's the elitist retards that try to differentiate the 2 that get on my nerves. Trying to say that Ronnie Coleman has non-functional muscle is simply rediculous.

[TheCore]

Goju is right on the money...!

Like I said before bodybuilding ruined weightlifting, saying other wise is being ignorant. Just look at the crap in bodybuilding magazines...

And yes, most bodybuilders are weak as sh*t!!!

Training only to become bigger, I don't see the use in that. I like functional muscles, that have a carryover in everyday life or sports, Bodybuilding is just about getting bigger, a bodybuilder doesn't seek strenght only mass!!! What's the use of that mass, it has no real use...

Take a look at navy seals and marines, gymnasts, powerlifters, strongman, strength athletes. What do bodybuiders do with their musles, they just look strong. See where I'm going with this.

They train for non functional muscles, and compared to the people who do the above the are weak...

I say it again bodybuilding ruined weightliftin, the only smart bodybuilders train l9ike powerlifters and diet like bodybuilders

And hell no, bodybuilding isn't powerlifting!!!

[TheCore]

I''ll give you an example of what I mean, a buddy of mine does the bb magazine garbage. I always trained more for strenght (the mass I got is from simply eating more) and explosiveness. He weighs a bit more than me and he does look a bit more "pretty" if you compare our physique.

But when we do a sport, like wrestling and rugby I own him, with rugby I took him down so hard he couldn't walk normal for three days, I can just blow him away. Why??? Cause he didn't focus as much on his legs as he should've done. Cause your power comes mostly from your legs. He wanted to be more symmetrical (not getting huge legs compared to upperbody), and the punishment he got from me was the consequence. I always told hom to focus more on strenght and explosive power...

This is pure ignorance. What bodybuilder is weak as ****? Name me a couple, and tell me how you came to that conclusion. And for the LAST FUCKING TIME!! Bodybuilding is powerlifting! Move weight and eat right and you will get big. Progressive resistance is the basic premise behind any weight training. Oh, and just for the record, when the hell is a 1200 lb squat functional?

Take a look at navy seals and marines, gymnasts, powerlifters, strongman, strength athletes. What do bodybuiders do with their musles, they just look strong. See where I'm going with this.

God forbid that someone would ever want to look good naked.


And just for fun, I'd like to requote my favorite part of your post:

the only smart bodybuilders train l9ike powerlifters and diet like bodybuilders

And hell no, bodybuilding isn't powerlifting!

Which is it?

[TheCore]

Bodybuilding doesn't have a good carryover to real life and sports. Put a powerlifter into a strongman competition versus a bb, the powerlifter will win for sure!!!

If you want to do bicep curls after bicep curl go ahead, I''ll keep wasting my time on the compounds, get some real strenght and explosive power

[rockhuddy]

he didn't focus as much on his legs as he should've done. Cause your power comes mostly from your legs. He wanted to be more symmetrical (not getting huge legs compared to upperbody)

Then he's a pussy. It's not because he's a bodybuilder (or thinks he is), it's because he's weak. Being a bodybuilder does not make you weak. Training like a pussy makes you weak. I know guys who train to get stronger but are still weak, but this doesn't prove that all powerlifters are so. It just proves he is. The individual is not an indication of the whole. Surely you understand this.

sorry I forgot to say, GREAT TEAR, how do you train for that by the way?

yes, that is actually the best way to train if your lifting, somebody's sig on this forum says it best, train like a powerlifter eat like a bodybuilder.

their training information sucks and is just plain boring, but I will say bodybuilders do very well when it comes to nutrition, just eat a good heaping of healthy protein/carbs/fats a LOT, and lift heavy and you should do very well. the WAY in which you lift can be subjective to you, but the above formula for nutrition and general training is what works!

LMFAO!! Dave Tate couldn't even walk up a flight of stairs, much less play any sport. But sure, he's functional enough to smoke any weak bodybuilder. Pfft.

Don't be a pussy. Adress my specific points. I'm still waiting for a list of weak as **** bodybuilders. While you're doing that, I'll find you a list of fat, out of shape powerlifters.
