IL - don't worry about it. It just bugs me that this board is so size-obsessed. It really is ridiculous. I'm actually sorry that people here know how big I am because then I'm never truly judged on the quality of my ideas. BTW rev I'm 160 so hah.

saxons bends are great -- thanks for reminding me, I forgot about them.

My staple is side bends. But I try to do some rotational stuff too, to mix it up. I've done "wood chops" and this twisting move with a olympic bar in a corner. Full contact twists, I think they're called.

Casual- I consider most of what you say as good stuff, the point you make is a good one, some of the best advice I have gotten has been from people who looked like they never spent a day in the gym. Also some of the worst advice I have gotten has come from those same types.

I honestly belive that your points are taken into consideration by most the people here especially the ones who are more aesthetically oriented. I think that the concentration right now on this board leans more toward strength athletes who are more concerned with function. bottom line is that I would consider anyone's advice or ideas as long as they were logical and aimed at getting me faster, stronger, or bigger, regardless of the accomplishments of the source...
