Wow. Many of you cried, bitched and moaned about the other thread and wanted the topic to “die” and for anyone that thinks full body workouts have a place in bodybuilding to “gtfo”. Now you start a sarcastic thread so you can circle jerk and continue to have the argument with no one in particular.
Please tell me you guys see the irony of all of this.
By the way, the issue isn’t whether pro bbers do splits. The issue is that if you truly want to emulate and assess how pro bbers get their size, to ignore the fact that they are drugged out the ass is to ignore a HUGE component. So, if you want to emulate the way bbers train, do drugs and follow their split. You guys can thump your chest and talk about massive eating and intensity, but you are kidding yourselves if you think you are going to look anything like a pro bber without drugs.

You really don’t get it, do you?
Who said anyone here is going to look like, say, Ronnie without drugs?
Drugs aren’t even what makes the difference, it’s genetics first and foremost.
You can still get freakishly huge drug-free and training on a split.
Some of us have proved that already…
And on more serious bb forums, you get many more like us.
You are small. You have no clue what you are talking about (this already manifests itself in the fact that you believe drugs to be a “huge” part of the equation, guess what, they only come after genetics, maximized diet and maximized training.)
And for the record, there are plenty of pro bb’ers who are smaller than us, the main difference is that they have better genetics for their muscle-shape and are obviously using certain substances to get shredded/dry to the extreme for their shows. Who cares about that? Do you think we want to walk around at 2% bodyfat and dehydrated all year 'round?
Nobody does that, and neither do we want to.
You seem somewhat lost, to be honest. You keep arguing and telling us that we have this and that goal and want to look like this and that, yet none of it is true.
And those of us who actually use and/or want to compete, well, who says that they can’t “look like the pros” ? The pros were once far from what they are now, after all.
I for one want to get as big as naturally possible, then go on maintenance and up my cardio and enjoy life at 240-250 with visible abs.
Not much longer and I can actually do that. In order to reach that level, you’ll have to be 280-300 in bulked state, unless you are extremely genetically gifted (even 99 percent of the pros are not that gifted and thus have to bulk too).
So I’ll continue to look somewhat smooth until I reach my goal, so what?
Maybe I’ll even go to 260 lean, not likely, but I’ll find out, right?
If I find that my hormones start sucking too much then I’ll go on HRT in my late 40’s or 50’s maybe, but that’s it.
You are like the people on you-tube whose comments can be found under every vid of everything bodybuilding-related: “oh it’s all them steroidz”
and “but his form is bad! He’s weak!”
What do you even want on a bodybuilding forum ?
