In the corner of the gym, we have an extra thick mat so the stongman can do Deadlifts there along with what ever else they do, when this scrawny goofy looking kid, 6ft 150lbs walks toward the area and decides to do some powerclean and presses. Okay, what ever, I do my squats etc..when I hear loud banging noises from that corner! I take a quick glance and guess what I see??? That same skinny scrawny kid using 335lbs in the power clean and press!!!!!! For reps!!!!! Shouldnt he be thick and muscular? I know technique is the key but come on!     | ||

That could have been my buddy...lol. He is about 6' and 170 and he is strong as an ox. He is going to the 2004 Olympics. BTW- As a former Olympic lifter, I would like you to know that It is 90% technique and 10% brute strength. It is quite a sight, though. ------------------ http://2thick.elitefitness.com | ||

Size is not necessarily correlated with strength; neuromuscular efficiency has much more to do with strength than hypertrophy. And only one of these types of hypertrophy; myofibrillar and NOT sarcoplasmic (the type bodybuilders primarily train for) will develop/increase maximal strength. So it's nothing magic when you see a stick man slammin' heavy iron and a weakling bodybuilder; it's physiology. | ||

it has mostly to do with muscle fiber ratios white to red he must be 95+% white fiber which is rare but all athletes are 85% or above, with the exception of a few sports BB being on of them. ------------------ | ||

2thick: Thanks, I chip in where I can  Ubermass: Thanks for the insight; but I highly/respectfully disagree. If it were true, then western african decent athletes would have absolute domination over powerlifting/strength events. Second-very very few muscles have been found to be over %80 fast twitch (hamstrings, abs etc.) even in those predisposed to fast twitch makeup. Third, contrary to popular belief-fast twitch motor units of comparable size have an equal maximal force production as slow twitch fibers; the primary difference in their force production is the fast twitch fiber motor units are capable of reachin peak tension/output much more rapidly. Fifth-sendentary and non strength oriented training athletes typically are only capable of recruiting %60-70 of their motor units-the advanced elite strength athlete is able to tap into %80 of his potential, or %80 of his fibers, thus being able to better employ his musculature and being a pound for pound stronger being.

You know, if B182 can learn to translate his knowledge into language for us laity, he'll be a great addition to the board. Work on that a little, bro. I'll be listening. Steelheart, I used to train with a guy something like the kid you're talking about. He was six feet, maybe 180, but could squat 490 with great form, bench well over 370 for reps, and deadlift some ungodly amount. He graduated and moved on so I don't see him anymore, but we mere mortals always thought he was from like another planet or something. Now, I'm not so sure. He was always very close mouthed about his diet and supplementation. He was not big, but he was very cut and vascular, and I've really been wondering if he wasn't on some kind of gear like eq, anavar, something like that. How do you know your kid isn't chemically assisted, as well as the possessor of great technique, like 2Thick says? Bjaarki | ||

I have also do Olympic lifting and it is a great deal to Tech. I liked winny-V, Finajet, Haloteston(stenox), and EQ when training and trying to the the strength up and the weight down. | ||

I'm Olimpic Wheightlifter too, and this sport is considerated the 2nd most technical of all. Num. 1 is the Pole Jump. So... i myself like to be big and make ugly faces and scream while lifting... When you finish the people says things like "OH" "WOW" "Abnormal"... hehe ------------------ Take Care. | ||

Yes true....but this kid had no muscle on him! maybe if I saw some kind of developement Id understand, but this dude had no muscle, string bean, literally. Thats a 335lbs press over head!!! He'd drop the weight, rest a few breaths and do it all again. There a girl there too who is huge 6ft 230lbs(chubby) , and she also does this at maybe 225lbs..... | ||

Bjaarki: I'm not quite sure what you meant by translating; I ommited as much technical jargon without sacrificing the integrity of my post by using proper terminology; if there's anything that you'd like "translated" or elaborated upon I'd be glad to help- just ask. While it's true olympic type lifting is very skill oriented, it also requires highly developed pound for pound brute strenth to be competitive. Technique will only get you so far; you'll need strength to carry you through the rest, it's the foundation. I have no idea if this guy was using gear- he may very well have been using stenox, the only way of knowing with certainty would be running a blood test =) but such a feat is certainly possible without using gear. | ||

B182 or should I say doc... What Bjaarki was saying about the translations was this let me give you an example. "I ommited as much technical jargon without sacrificing the integrity of my post by using proper terminology" this is what you wrote.... and this is what we need. I got rid of all the big words for you uneducated fucks and spared you the proper terms cause you wouldn't understand shit anyway." Like that doc that way we can all understand.....LOL JJ BTW I'm just fucking around don't anybody get all pissed off and started roid raging.... |
