That's pretty impressive for an ectomorph to get to 260pounds what size are your wrists how tall are you and what the hell do you eat ?

epimetheus, truce........ i never said you were intellegent, and i agree that using a wider vocabulary is more intellegent. but its a chatboard, i dont come here to expand my vocab, i just kinda thought everything here was supposed to be easy, almost layman's terms. no words that you have used i didnt understand. i type in a hurry becuase i have limited time on the net, so i dont try to be grammaticly correct or safisticated with the old speech. thats all. i know that about italicizing words as well, but that function is available when posting. and in good sport since you corrected me, i couldnt help but to point it out.

it was fun debating you, i didnt take it serious, so i hope you didnt either. but just for the record, i didnt jump down you throat becuase you dont belive the same as me( heck my training partner doesnt either) but you just jumped down my throat when i wasnt even addresing you, if i took it wrong then im sorry, but thats why i went off. so im sorry, but i admit i love arguing.

yeo...... wrist size is 6.75. Thats mean i am not that stong, im fairly strong, but when i go heavy it kills my joints. but i still push myself that way, i just mix it up with some higher reps as well. it produces significant hypertrophy. Plus as an added bonus i get a good strength carryover. offseason, i train with the WSB powerlifting style. but as for what i eat. a lot of everything. i try not to eat ground beef, chuck, or round. they have the most protein but they have a good but of fat so i eat ground turkey. it has less fat that ground beef, but more than fat than chiken. but it has more protein than chicken. ofseason i eat 2-3 lbs per day with 2 shakes. contest 1 lb per day and 1 shake. eat a salad everyday, and a ton of carbs off season from potatoes, pasta, rice. basically this. what you eat offseason compared to what i eat when cutting is the same thing. just less of the same thing.

thats what worked, and is still working. i hope this helps.

No problem. I love the occasional "debate with spice" as well. I didn't get mad either, and I do admit I enjoyed the exchange.

I didn't mean my first post to sound so harsh, so I appologise for that. It should have been a bit more tactful.

Good luck with your upcoming competition!

"Big words" as you so put it- if you think non-sequitur is
a big word- doesn't make one more intelligent?
Interesting. Most anthropologists will argue that point
with you. You see, they seem to think that it is language
that forms thought. The more words you know, the more
concepts you understand, and that means a broader
understanding of the world. To me that means
intelligence, I suppose the definition of intelligence to
you is "If you don't agree with me you are a retard and
need to grow up."

I was just going to say what a waste of board space this was, but now I'm going to be hypocritical and join the tangent just to say one quick thing. Epimetheus, it seems your theory of a sparkling vocabulary goes against what the greatest post-socratic thinkers as well as the founders of Eastern philosophy have told us. What you're describing is sophistic. I can't stand people that have to articulate everything with colorful words. To me, they are simply clouding their waters to make them appear deep. If you have immersed yourself in a world of(true) knowledge long enough, you begin to learn the elementary concept that the people who talk the most typically have the least to say. The one's with the more colorful vocabularies tend to be making up for a lack of content. The best teachers I have ever had, as well as the greatest, spiritually insightful people I have encountered have very little to say. Anwyay, just had to say that

Thanks exodus, that's gave me some inspiration to think if you can do it then there's no reason that I can't. Eating for me is the hardest part, I struggle to eat enough. I can get on average 200g of protein a day but I can't seem to eat enough carbs, I know this is something I need to sort out how many grams of carbs do you think I should be eating ?

*bunch of big words I didn't understand*

Me agree, Me no use big words no more. Me be real smawt, K!


I mean, using big words like Non-Sequitur, imbecile, hyperbole and the other two "big" words I used just hides my obvious stupidity and lack of anything worthwhile to talk about. I mean, I obviously just spend my time in front of thesauri, reading other words to replace simple words making myself look smarter, I know nothing of current events, nothing of history, philosophy, psychology, bodybuilding, nutrition, astronomy, physics, debate, etc etc. I am obviously compensating for the fact that I am really a dumb shallow idiot. I never read books, I watch TV and play video games and don't even work out. I really am clueless to the rest of the interenet as well. I had a friend do something called bookmark this web page and It takes me 5 hours to type up a post- looking up all those words takes forever.

I will make sure I don't talk so high and mighty- I mean I wouldn't want a bunch of people on the internet thinking I am really a stupid person.

My theory as you so put it Thaiboxer? What theory is that? That I should say- What I said earlier was a figure of speech in which I exaggerated for a bit of emphasis and effect OR What I said was a hyperbole. Hmm, I guess knowing that there is a word for a concept or learning the concept by discovering the word wouldn't be learning something and becoming more intelligent. It is just needless sophism, pompous pedantism covering up any real lack of education they might have. I mean, why should I use the term Non-sequitur? Sheesh, I should just say "what you said does not logically follow what preceded it" right? I mean vocabulary is overrated. You yourself should have gotten across your points without all those big words. You just confuse the issue.

Well, so that I may garner some respect from you, I will just not say anything. I mean, you obviously don't have much to say with 2729 posts or anything, so that must mean you are very wise.

ROFLMAO- Yeah, those Eastern Philosophers are clear and concise, making the most sense of things without any clouds or colorful words. (snicker)

....Congradulations on your marriage.

should be: congratulations

Yes, it is apparent that I am so immature, my posts are retarted...

should be: retarded

Capitolizing an entire word in the middle of the sentance is shorthand (read: lazy) for italicizing it. For emphasis.

should be: capitalizing, and SENTENCE...

These are just the most obvious mistakes that struck me. I find it funny how you find a way to belittle another person's intelligence when you don't have much to show yourself. Get off your fucking soap box.

Oh, and as to the original topic. Yeo, I think first and foremost you need to look at your diet. You don't necessarily have to be eating like a pig, but you need to be eating higher than your maintenance cals consistently, every day.

Oh boy the spelling nazi's have arrived. Did ya notice the only word I corrected on his spelling was my name? The name that is by my every post? Good!

Did you notice that before Thaibox restarted this thread we had made up? Good!

Yes, I must be on a soapbox thinking I am sooo much smarter than everybody because I insult a person that is too lazy to capitalize AFTER he had already attacked me for a pretty benign post. (the only thing I suggested was that he might be seen as a tool for his insulting post) I must be a real pretensious prick for obviously using bigger words than necessary and thinking of myself as being somewhat educated.

I mean, even writers make spelling and grammar errors, and they write for a living. Does that make them stupid? No, not proof-reading makes them LAZY. There is a difference. I suppose it may be too subtle of a difference for you to pick up on though, since your only argument against a persons intelligence is his/her spelling skills.
