Like I said...You have the lower body and you have no upper body, you got a problem building...wait a minute. You have the upper body, and you have no legs, you got a problem building your legs. You have the upper...you have the lower body and you don't have the upper body, the upper body, it is easier to build. So if you have the lower body and you don't have the upper body, it is easier to build the upper body. You have the upper body and you don't have the legs, you got a problem building the lower body... No, YOU don't understand. You have the upper body, but you don't have the lower body, you got a problem building downstairs. You got the up- legs on the bottom, it is easier to build on the top, so you don't have much as a problem. Yeah.

I dont know why you guys are arguing with TooAnabolic, he's not preaching anything ridiculous. I've been training the big 3 consistently since 2014, which is when I started taking nutrition and lifting a lot more serious than just going through the motions.
Literally once I started getting serious about adding weight in my workouts (while focusing on technique/form and always getting better at technique) also with proper warmup/stretches my physique and strength have gone to a whole new level.
I see people in my gym doing nothing but accessory work with some bench thrown in and their physiques are chit, for years I've been going to the same gym and see the same people they look all the same. Meanwhile I started going heavy on compounds and doing accessory work too (free weights + machines) and my physique gets better everyday. as well as my strength.*no crew crew*

Can't really see why you'd rage at this? For me it's fairly simple to understand, people's bodies are different, one persons caloric maintenance will be 1600 while another's will be 3000. It's fairly common nowadays in mainstream society to have a low caloric maintenance but people just don't realise it, thyroid medications are gonna be a big thing in 50 years trust me.
Remember the guy that gave up? Neither does anybody else.

In a similar vein, people not squatting from the beginning because they don't want "huge legs". Almost as if they expect that if they do squats, one day they'll wake up, finding their jeans a torn up mess on the floor, their legs 3x their previous size, because it's not like you can squat until your legs are the size you want and then maintain or anything like that, no you're just going to accidentally get Olympia size legs.
Of course there's the classic stuff that I'm sure has already been mentioned in this thread too:
- Don't eat carbs or you'll get fat
- If you want to lose belly fat, you have to do ab exercises
etc etc.
One that particularly amused me was when someone tried to explain that it's cardio that causes muscle growth, and resistance training just gets you used to "using your muscles right".
Well I guess he's not entirely wrong, you do have to hop on a bike if you're looking to be Mr Olympia.. I think he overheard someone in the gym lockers talking about cycling and misunderstood.

I think he means that if you're trying to get from a 185x8 bench to a 225x8 bench that you'll need to increase your strength first to do so. And if you're looking to increase your strength, you're going to want to use a rep range typically lower than sets of 8 to get there. If you're ONLY doing sets of 8, it would take longer to get up to 225x8 than if you were to drop the reps and work with heavier weights to gain the strength you need to eventually be able to hit that 225x8 goal. The end.
