No Im not man. Im just asking if we take the skinny strong dude and put him on a BB split, higher rep range, ,etc. Would he explode more than a guy the same size as him, but weaker?

Probably not “hypothetically speaking”. The ideal bodybuilder would be one who grew without having to use super extreme weights to get big.[/quote]
This makes sense. If you can grow without having to use heavy weights you should be able to recover faster and therefore train more frequently. You also have less chance of losing training time due to injury.

Exactly. If you can build 20" arms without curling heavier than a 70lbs dumbbell, you win at the “life time reduction of risk of injury award”
I don’t see anyone like this at all…but you always here about these magical people who are supposedly HUGE but can only curl 35lbs dumbbells.[/quote]
Bro, a friend of mine gonna compete for Mr Quebec this year, 18.5 inch arms ripped to bones(20 inch offseason), 20 year old REALLY good physique, trained by IFBB pro Larry vinette, and the dude squat 250lb for barely 8 reps, pulling 300 for 2 reps. Yes, he use A LOT of chemical assistance(maybe it could change things), but its not rare too see guy like this. But a lot of these case are with dude assisted.[/quote]
There is a big difference between using a weight for a purpose…and using a weight because that is all you can lift.
I can get a great workout with a 60lbs dumbbells for biceps. That doesn’t mean that is all I can curl if you see me do it.[/quote]
Of course, but he is struggling to lift those weigth, I know, I train with him… Do you think guy who use sterdroid can build muscle without getting much stronger?
And do you think a guy who plateau in is bodybuilding developpement, go on a strength training program for a couple of month to get his lift a lot higher, and go back to bodybuilding style of training could benefit?
