Poor choice of words on my part. And I was only interpreting the message of the video.

When the minority is very small something like a few would have been a better choice of words.

How many powerlifters can you name that lift more HB than LB? I can't think of any off the top of my head. Besides, you don't really have a point when the vast majority it works best for. Naming the odd example doesn't really prove anything, there are outliers in everything.

If you watched the video you'd have one name - Eric Lilliebridge.

Kirk Karkowski (sp?). That is one person though.

All the gyms round where I am have squat racks Becca; consider Yorkshire.

My home town is really in the arse-end of nowhere and I just found out my mum has jury duty the 2 weeks I'm home so I won't even be able to borrow the car. Annoying. Might hire a car lol.

I often hear about which girls give good head blah blah,

Thinking about it, nobody gets better head than me. I can receive like a pro.


(sorry for the subject matter Becca... but obviously)

Rather pessimistic view. Seems like it contradicts the epigenetics video by Andrew405squat that Ilidian_stormrage posted a while back whereby we basically all have the same potential but it just takes longer for different people as it takes time to turn on and off some genes (or to that effect).
How much variation in myostatin do we have on average?

I don't know how old Arnold is in the pic but he started lifting very young and was a competitive powerlifter before he was 20, so no wonder he looks big, he didn't just walk around like that with no training.

I think it's a video that encourages people to blame their failure on genetics, if someone is failing to bulk they most likely either have a **** routine or are not eating enough. When I was younger (17-18) and ended up squatting 150kg in 8 months (not even exactly AMAZING progress) my friends who I went with automatically pinned it on my genetics, not the fact that I was the one forcing down 2 pints of milk on the way back from college while they ate chips most days.

Arnold was on drugs from quite a young age iirc
Drugs or no drugs, Arnold's chest is probably the best ever and it's genetics. There's loads of guys with bigger chests.

I have no problems with people taking drugs. I just hate fake naturals.

Lol. Why? Assuming it is this stuff - you would have had to have paid much less then they are advertising it for for it not to have been a bit of a rip off.

£50 for 1.3kg of protein? you could damn near get 6kg of chicken breast for that money and get the same amount of protein.

Does watering it down more not work? Other than that - I guess with 6kg to work through you may just get used to the taste.

Well at least you've only got 25 left to go. To be perfectly honest I would buy something else once you've finished that!

Surely if you go to a butchers and not a supermarket you can get a lot more chicken than 6kg for 50quid. There's a butchers near where I live that sells chicken for £4.40 per kg. Thats over 11kg chicken for that price.
