First, let me start out by saying my gym teacher is a typical gym idiot, all upper body and no lower. He was telling me what he worked out this morning and said he did back and bis. He said he did pullups, rows, back extensions, more pullups, and lat pulldowns for back. For the bis, he did something like regular dumbbell curls, hammer curls, 45 degree curls, and then burnouts. I laughed at him. I told him that when I worked back and bis All I did was bent over rows, pullups, and barbell curls. He couldn’t believe that working out for less than an hour would do anything. Someone tell me hes the idiot and not me.
I just wanted to emphasize how stupid this post was. You laughed at someone for doing several exercises for biceps? So, if you saw me train, you would be laughing at me because I do several exercises for biceps? Some of you dipshits are truly stupid far beyond the “normal” level of stupidity. It is as if you try to take being a dumbass to all new heights and boundaries, stretching the confinements until they are bursting at the seams.
Let me guess…his arms are bigger than your arms.
What equals “no lower body” to some of you? I would love to see a picture of this guy who is ALL upper body as if he never trains legs. While it is a possibility, the more likely scenario is that he is simply bigger than you and you are looking for something at all to criticize about him…because you read an article or two on this site and assume you know more than everyone else.
Fools.
X, while I agree with you on many points, your fallacy is in that you think that he (the poster) is making a mistake in thinking that they (the teacher) is wrong just because he has “bigger biceps”. You are assuming his position is coming from someone who is smaller and trying to compensate for that.
That may be the case, but he may actually be bigger and be tired of hearing from someone who has “Bigger Arms” (the teacher) but cannot perform athletically, or cannot prove himself in the gym, or in reality has no lower body (these guys do actually exist).
Remember X, the guy he is talking about may just be another gym “know it all” who cannot backup anything he says, when it comes to real strength.
You may be right in your assesment, then again the guy (the teacher) may be a pussy. Who’s arm’s are bigger is irrelevant to who knows more about working out.
Let’s not forget that genetics and drugs do play a part in this game. A simple example is Phil Parcells and T.O. Who do you think can make the better call for the next play in a football game? Physically, T.O. is better suited to perform the next play. That does not mean he knows better what the next play should be.
Obviously, the coach is better suited to call the next play, even though he is not best suited to run the next play.
It is possible that the teacher is all upper and no lower body. We have all seen it. Consider that before you call everyone “fools”.
You are speaking from a position from which you know what the fuck the reality is. You are speaking from the position opposite the “majority” of the people on the forum. That is just as ridiculous.
BTW, the original poster never said “this guy is an idiot because he laughed at someone for doing several exercises for biceps”.
The original poster actually was laughing because the teacher thought “He couldn’t believe that working out for less than an hour would do anything.”
X, the the original poster is correct and you are wrong to question whether the “Teacher” is correct just because he may have bigger arms.
Yes, sometimes, the guy with the bigger arms knows better. But, we should all know by now, that is not always the case. Interview most professional athletes about nutrition and training and you’ll see what
I’m talking about.
Sometimes, the big guy is bigger because he trains and eats better than most everyone else. Sometimes it is just dumb luck regarding his genetics.
X, I would have expected more from you. Let’s see if you can respond with a rational response, rather than personal attacks.

I don’t expect anything at all from you…and it seems that is just what I got. Unlike you, I’ve seen this guy post many times before. I also know that he has yet to respond to this thread with whether the guy was bigger than he was even though I have no doubt he read it by now.
If you want to believe his gym teacher is truly scrawny with nothing viable about his physique at all but some arms, more power to you. While a possibility, given the several other posts like this one that have popped up lately, it isn’t likely.
Your mistake, dear deluded reader, is believing everything the OP wrote with regards to the conversation at all. Do you honestly believe the conversation went as follows:
“I see you only train for about 40 min a day. There is simply no way that can work for you plus you don’t train arms directly”
“Ha ha, I laugh in your general direction and at your 12” thighs for I don’t even do curls!"
This kid is in high school. The chances of us even getting a word for word account of the event are pretty damn small. But hey, thanks for acting as if no one understands genetics but you or as if that fact is simply disregarded by anyone else. Your post was a waste…and we still don’t know exactly how much bigger the coach is.
