Does using a heavier weight build more mass

[Dominik]

Only by using those Malibu Ken and Barbie weights can you truly isolate. So you might as well decide to use your core muscles, brace your abs and your glutes and go the anti-isolation route. Bodybuilders may think that will take away from the contraction of the target muscle. We have just demonstrated with the grip test that this is not the case. Whenever you intelligently contract other muscles ? your glutes, your abs, your diaphragm, and if you're working the upper body, your grip ? you automatically increase the intensity of the contraction of the target muscles.

You do realize all these "hardcore" types set up camp on one side of the fence to be controversial right? It helps carve out a niche for them so they can sell more books or whatever.

See the problem? They'll make it sound like it's got to be all or nothing. Choose your religion and lock it in. Only use 3 compound exercises until you die or be sent to HIT hell. Most people here are (wisely) using a combination of compounds, isos, freeweights, and machines, and it gets the job done.

Well it would be a hell of a lot easier to do through sarcoplamic growth since myofibrillar is very dense... I'm not sure what your getting at but you can make a balloon bigger, faster by inflating it than by making the rubber thicker.

Awesome, another person with no clue as to how the human body works

You can see how much things have changed since you were gone.

[Meni]

boy the evil russian gets some people mad.
back to the trhead
yes heavier weight builds more mass

the kid posted he can do the 100s for the same reps as the 80s

well don't do the 80s

I thought that was common sense?

[W8isGR8]

No thanks, we bodybuilders actually know our place

[W8isGR8]

does this mean paraplegics can't be manly?

Parapalegics yes, quadrapalegics no

[hulkinout]

I think it's funny that the original poster thanked everyone for writing, packed up and went home, and the thread's still alive like twenty posts later.

Reminds me of those movies that insert bloopers while they roll the credits.

99% of threads the OP never sticks around or returns

[rockhuddy]

Parapalegics yes, quadrapalegics no

wrong

you can't be a good arm wrestler without leg drive

[RU4A69]

so going up is rare in this thread
yet poliquin says you should be 2% stronger every workout
hmmm

That's ridiculous. That means increasing strength by about 100% every year. At that rate, a lot of us here would have a 3000 total in 2-3 years time.

[W8isGR8]

I just ordered my 2-ply armwrestling shirt

99% of threads we post in the OP never sticks around or returns

fixed for accuracy

[ThickAsABrick]

I plan on arm wrestling a 5 lb heavier person each week, then resetting when I plateau

I'm not ready for thumb wrestling yet though

[kent.rp]

i have read all you reply's and i'm thankful to all of you for the advise

[BaSsSiKk]

dude seriously. are you even reading anything anyone is telling you? open your eyes.

I think Meni and Ballys need to settle this by getting their legs out, Olympia Press Conference styleeee, hehe :-)

[ryan250]

mostly, haha.

[W8isGR8]

Considering Meni's arms are bigger than his legs........

[BaSsSiKk]

Lol...

[ryan250]

depends really. but yes most of the time.

[Duckenheimer]

The old singer from my band was a paraplegic, and his arms are about as strong (and big) as most of our legs.

He really sucks at squats though.

[Wezz]

Think by reduction ad absurdum.

No weight --> no muscle.

High weight --> High muscle.

QED

[Meni]

nah, no one cares

but thanks for the laughs

so the evil russian is a joke?
doing seminar around the world
chellenging bodybuilders to lifts?

funny how easy to dismiss someone's opinions on lifting
especially when he rips bodybuilders
I see plenty of guys in shape who aren't strong
maybe he has a point

You're preaching goals to guys who do not have those goals. Let it rest.
