Big muscular guys who are weak in strength...
-
Chinese saying:"hao3 kan4 bu4 nao3 ci2" translated=nice to look at,but not nice to eat...
Have you met such guys before? I have.Eg this guy who has probably 18 inch guns but do merely 40-50kg barbell rows all the time I see him train.
Then there is this malay pro BB type who quarter squats only 1 plate on the Smith Machine for a few sets. For his size,I thought he should be doing 3 plates below parallel at least...and using the Olympic bar not the Smith!
Wonder are they juiced? Or they got their size from purely bodybuilding routines... -
only those who go for power training are really strong.
bodybuilders dont train for power. they are not as strong as they look. -
define strong...
-
Well my focus is getting big, how strong i am isnt my main motive..but i know i m weak lar...
-
me like that
i wanna be stronger !! not grow bigger 
-
Everyone who starts weight training should focus on strength first.Training for strength will set the foundation.When you can, in decent form,barbell row 2 plates for >5 reps,you are getting there...You think you will have small arms and weak looking back at that stage?Originally posted by zanza:me like that i wanna be stronger !! not grow bigger -
well, u see chinaman, most are very strong but they dun have 'seenable' muscles. they are more cut for powerlifting.
muscles not equal strength. there are many chinaman who bench more than me be it incline or flat but few or should i say only 1 so far have pects bigger than mine while most have airport...
regarding steroids, some gives u strength while some packs u with more muscles some is inbetween. -
These chinamen you are refering to are Olympic lifters,ya Olympic lifters don't seem to be very big for their strength.Originally posted by chunyong:well, u see chinaman, most are very strong but they dun have 'seenable' muscles. they are more cut for powerlifting.

Powerlifters on the other hand are a totally different story... -

Guess what, i have seen a big man(maybe as big as jay cutler)using 20kg dumbbells for chest presses, 20kg dumbbells for rows and 5/kg side of the ez bar for pullovers.But he is damn huge and he does a lot of sets.I believe more volume is for mass.

an illusionist trick........a large guy doesn't mean he is always strong................we should always test the person to see if he is really strong.........no point looking at the size.............

nai chi
anyway, my sergeant told us during BMt
physically fit is different from combat fit
some people can get gold for ippt but wont last the rigours of a field mission -
Pavel Tsatsouline-a former Soviet Special Forces PTI who is now training US SOFs and SWAT teams...
This guy can kick many of the pro BBs' asses in terms of functional strength.But look at his mass? -
i heard big guys who are REALLY big has REALLY small dicks.
dunno if it's true.
-
just another illusion,when the bodyparts near the dick area(such as quads) are really huge,could make the dick look much smaller...Originally posted by Gwangetto:i heard big guys who are REALLY big has REALLY small dicks.

i know paul has no mass but he certainly has a hairy chest.
So far there is only one kettlebell instructor in Singapore i believe.Anyone who wants to learn from him can tell me and i will give you his contact numbers.
There are a few special cases though like Johnnie jackson(He has the MASS and Fuctional strength)
Well.. to each of his own.

MAYBE HE IS DOING ENDURANCE TO CUT DOWN ON HIS FATS?Originally posted by Simon Dean:Guess what, i have seen a big man(maybe as big as jay cutler)using 20kg dumbbells for chest presses, 20kg dumbbells for rows and 5/kg side of the ez bar for pullovers.But he is damn huge and he does a lot of sets.I believe more volume is for mass. -
he wasnt.He was doing for 10-12 reps kind and struggling.Originally posted by forum_dude:MAYBE HE IS DOING ENDURANCE TO CUT DOWN ON HIS FATS? -
There was another very big and ripped guy i saw who was also struggling with 60kg for 8 reps.
Later i learnt from my gym trainer that he juices and he told the trainer. -

Finally today,saw a feat of strength you won't normally see in Singapore gyms.
This pro BB type did Romanian deadlifts for 130kg for a few reps..Way to go,big boy!
I am aiming for that very soon! -

Seriously,it's not a lot,but in the local context,it's.Originally posted by forum_dude:WELL I DUN AIM FOR SO MUCH COZ I DUN INTEND TO BE A BB AND TOO BIG FOR MY STATURE
FYI,I am already doing 100kg Romanian deadlifts for reps.And I weigh only 85kg on a 1.8m frame.Ok la,I am only 10-15kg over the average 1.8m Sg guy weight...
