Good thread James, however I do not think it will progress very far. [/quote]
Agreed Derek. Because other than Matty and HARA, most are not at a level to give any advice and it shows so far. In fact, that goes for the majority of threads here but especially this one. If youre training is or hasnt been in the past, geared towards strength goals(Pl, Strongman, Weightlifting) then you have no need to comment. Its something that takes time and experience to grasp.[/quote]
Why do you have no need to comment if your training has not been geared towards strongmen or powerlifting? I thought this was about staying strong or getting stronger while cutting some BF? No offense, but I would put my numbers against quite a few here and I don’t train for strongman or powerlifting and I retain most if not all of my strength while some lifts go up while dropping BF.
Guess I will keep my advice to myself then, since I don’t train for strongman competitions.[/quote]
Well sonofabitch. First off I could of made my point alittle better but it still stands. First of when I say most, I meant the ones who already posted. Not everyone on this damn site. And congrats on your numbers and accomplishments. But sit down and think about what I wrote and if it applies to you. ATypical has different goals than alot of the guys posting in BSF. There are done things he’s willing to sacrifice for strength that others here wouldn’t (definition,size,etc) because he is a powerlifter.
Since his primary goal is strength, he has to approach cutting a different way. Since he is older and at a different level, I don’t think everyone here has a valid answer. Now I know some may be trying to help but they need to realize when to listen/read and when to give advice. Does that make sense to you?[/quote]
It makes perfect sense as I can read. But who died and made you the be all of what advice is worthy and what advice isn’t.
I take the stance of no matter where someone is, if they have achieved an above average physique. They might have something to add that could benefit anyone regardless of age, training, goals. And applying to me or not, you still came off as a complete prick, which online and in real life doesn’t get you very far.[/quote]
Well I apologize that I came off as a prick. I really do since I’m not like that in real life and I spoke(wrote) before thinking. Now, aside from how I said my comment, I do understand where you are coming but I don’t fully agree with it. Having an “above average” physique and wanting to stay fairly lean while keeping as much strength as possible when your a older competitor is not the same and, to some extent, requires different actions. There are others here who can explain my point way better than I can so ill let this be my piece. [/quote]
No big deal I get PMS sometimes too =D. But I do agree with you as older lifters who have been in the game a long time play by a different set of rules, working around injuries, etc. I just try to pay attention to the older guys and learn not to do what they did that hurt them in the long run or set them back. My goal is to pull as much wisdom as possible from those older and apply it.
