Pretty good write up here:
http://www.simplyshredded.com/why-we-grow.html

For those who are starting out with weight lifting and getting their nutrition in place, I think this is a very good read.

    I really liked this part: "The take home message here is the body doesn’t give a rat’s @$$ about getting bigger; in fact “training for size” is a misnomer because size is a secondary characteristic to other adaptations."

    Great article! Too many people buy into the hype of all the product and new "cutting edge" training. Stick to the basics and know what you eat! Loved it!

    Yes I have.....
    I would also venture to say that roids had a huge impact on that...
    Not to mention, usually when he is mentioned, ppl leave out that he would do a bunch of warm up sets before his actual load sets.
