You're completely disregarding the opportunity to learn and experience something new. Its not about training with the biggest guy, fuck that, who gives a shit. Its about the experience and getting new ideas.

Not to sound arrogant, but I've been lifting for 10 years, and I've seen it all. From totally ridiculous to extremely effective. There is nothing "new" in my opinion. The human body has not changed in thousands of years, it's all old school. Any new twists, or spins, are just marketing gimicks, and probably not "new" either, just some already establised process repackaged. I train very heavy, never more than 6-7 reps unless the machine doesn't hold enough or if the dumbbells don't go high enough. Compound exercises only, I only do non-compounds once a month or so. That is what works for me, and the guys that I've trained with, who are where I want to be, they swear by it too. Any progress I don't make, is simply me failing myself, and I can acknowledge that without making excuses.
I said B-Fold not due to the fact he is a mountain of a man, but due to the desire, heart, intensity and commitment that he trains with.
He pushes himself harder than anyone I have ever met. (Even though I have never met him personally.) My hope would be to learn that intensity from him, and how to use it most effectively.
