Re: TSR Muscle Building Society For Men V6!Bit confused as to what he's actually trying to get people to do - other than hitting each bodypart 74 times a year and not train like a pro BB'er?(Original post by commandant)
nice read
He's entirely left out the drug side to BB'ing too of course. Everyone responds differently to drugs, and I'd expect that e.g. Branch and Johnny weren't on the same cycles and everything else to boot too. BB'ing is just about having the right combination of genetics, training volume, nutrients and drugs. Miss any of them and you're never going to be a pro.
Some of the cycles I've seen that even amateur-turning-pro BB'ers are running are just obscene. So the advice is a bit of a moot point for the standard natural 20-something looking to get bigger. Genetics shouldn't be nearly as much of a problem. -

Re: TSR Muscle Building Society For Men V6!That really depends what level you need to learn it to. For the basics, a couple of hours would work. If there's more, you could be at it for weeks.(Original post by Gallium)
Okay i'm crap at maths and have an assessment type test coming up, how long will it take to learn calculus from scratch? -

Re: TSR Muscle Building Society For Men V6!You're pretty ****ed.(Original post by Gallium)

Depends how long you have as above though.
If it's just stuff like very basic integration and differentiation you can get it easily in a couple hours.
If you've got to learn all the trig rules (double angle, and all that shiz + how different trig functions integrate and differentiate), partial fractions, integration by parts, integration by substitution, the various rules of differentiation like the chain rule, product rule, quotient rule etc.. Then much longer, especially to the point where you can just do it without notes.
Edit:
Just saw "A level type standard" and 10 days from scratch.
I reiterate:
A level maths is a 2 year course.. Of which probably 50% is calculus, and the fundamentals needed to do calculus.
On my uni course I had a friend who didn't do A level maths and we did A level calculus in ~a term at uni as part of a maths module. He had gotten the basics but everything else went over his head.
He didn't do the calculus question in the exam at the end of the year, needless to say

Re: TSR Muscle Building Society For Men V6!How much background do you have? I'm pretty sure it's learnable in a couple of days of quite hard work, but I'd advise getting to it as quick as possible.(Original post by Gallium)

is not bad, for a starting place.
I'd doubt you need to know most of the stuff up to 'Computing the Derivative', but it's worth reading through and trying to understand. -

Re: TSR Muscle Building Society For Men V6!Good luck..(Original post by Gallium)
these are the topics:
Intro to Calculus Word document
Differentiation of Economic Functions
Finding the Maximum and Minimum
Comparative Statics Word document
Comparative Statics
Topics wise it doesn't look *too* bad. But everyone's definition of "Intro" is different. If you've only done GCSE maths I'd expect it'll be the trig functions that'd be most confusing.. -

okay the intro stuff covers:
DIFFERENTIATION OF A FUNCTION
derive an expression for a slope
RULES FOR DIFFERENTIATION and Composite Functions
i suck at maths quite bad, not done it in 4 years or so lol ;( -

Re: TSR Muscle Building Society For Men V6!It's sort of a 'refresher article', not telling people to do anything - just reinforcing that genetics make or break you if you want to turn pro..(Original post by mituozo)

it's aimed towards people who have been lifting seriously for years / competitive bodybuilders.
regarding drugs, different people grow off different things, some only need a little test, others take a boat load.
genetics are a massive problem if you are competitive and certain parts look crap! You won't get anywhere if you're aiming to turn pro -

I don't have much of an intention of being a pro BB'er, wonder if anyone here will actually end up that way at some point, would be pretty cool. Either that or some PL world record holders!
Of course at the top levels genetics very much come into play. No amount of training/doing weird exercises is going to bring up a lagging muscle either at that sorta level. At much of the people's here's levels then genetics tends to be an excuse not to build a good physique. Everyone's capable of building a top few % physique with a few years of hard work - tons of people use genetics as an excuse for never getting there. Pick 100 people on the street and probably only 5-10 of them will be vaguely impressive.
Just realised much of what I'm saying is a bit rambly and unstructured. I didn't sleep well last night, so I'm going to blame that aha. -

Bishamon is now on that 'new misc'. Someone linked it and got curious to see what on earth it was, went over and he's done a video on there.
got a link?
