lets debate MFP's so called heavy lifting trend

This thread just proves 90% of the self proclaimed professionals on this site are ****ed in the head. People referencing "toning". This site is good for tracking nutrients, anything else is just too far beyond its reach.

Are those plates standard plates on the bar in your avi out of interest?

bar isnt bending...

Texas barbells, they don't bend and flex like your pansy 24 hour fitness ab roller bars. 495 on the bar as opener, finished with 695 and took the mens open record for USAPL that day, still hold it today at 765, thanks have a nice day.

Oh dear...deactivated. And he never answered my question :sad:

That's a power lifters joke.. sorry

I WANT FABULOUS THAT IS MY SIMPLE REQUEST. I NEED A LITTLE FABULOUS IS THAT SO WRONG?

Yea cause the standard oly bars are for pansies right? Regardless on how much weight that is, no need to be angry.

There is definitely a bit of the double standard going on in this post. You can't tell people to lift heavy but you can tell them they don't know what they are talking about if they don't bench 700 pounds. I think we all have different goals here. I'm trying to lose fat. I don't care how much I can lift and have no desire to enter any competition.

It's a strawman argument

Most people that recommend "lift heavy" then go and point out a beginner program like 5x5, Stronglifts or New Rules - all progressive weight training programs which begin with relatively light weights and neuromuscular adaptation. I have yet to see one person seriously suggest someone begin with a truly heavy program.

And most people here starting a progressive program do not go to become powerlifters or bodybuilders but are looking for a little help in body recomp. What the OP considers heavy has nothing to do with the reality of the MFP context where a year of beginning lifting is heavy and most people train at a dietary restriction.

"Lift Heavy" is a nice meme which responds to the usual "2 lbs pink weight toning while doing 30 day shred" to which it is a counterpoint.

Now who am I???

Well three gold medals for world powerlifting championships and two bronze for the pan am games for oly lifting.. three different heavy weight titles in MMA and also a member of team USA for MMA..

pretty much means I know a thing or two about fitness.

You do realize that the other guy actually ASKED for him to state his credentials on why he is an expert on lifting, right? It bit him in the *kitten* when it actually turned out that OP has some pretty solid credentials. And don't belittle his accomplishments just because you don't agree with his opinion.

Oh. Well that puts things in a different light. Let me reconsider.




Nope. Still don't care. Accomplishments are not carte blanche to be an *kitten*

That's a power lifters joke.. sorry

Your bar bends in your pic..are you using a pansy arsed 24 hour fitness bar

One guy asks who the other is to be giving advice. The other says who he is and what he has done. I guess I missed the part where answering a question makes him an *kitten*.
