I don't have Publisher on this computer anymore and I can't save pictures once I resize them. On the page I made them a lot smaller than they were originally, but I forgot that it was a free hosting, so there's like no bandwidth. I'll make them even smaller though for when it comes back.

Thanks for the positive feedback and constructive criticism though.

Is it just to be better than the other guys? My friends and I trained for strength for 4 years before we realized no one really cares anymore. It's all a contest in middle school and through first years of high school, but then you just grow out of it. You'll probably feel the same way after a couple of more years, then you will start training to look better, and less for strength. |

And that strength will be more than enough to handle any situations in life that you would encounter ( with in reason of course, I'm not saying if a bus falls on your or something retarded like that ). However, if you only train for maximal strength, never to gain size, then you will not put on much size, plus to continually make good strength gains, you will have to consume proper calories...most ( not all ) powerlifters are fat, and are not appealing to the eyes. If you look at it from my point of view, then training for "looks" is much smarter. But you can do both as people have said. Its just not as easy. But if you don't care one bit what you look like, and truly believe you will need that strength, though I don't see what for, seeing as how most powerlifters have shitty stamina, and wouldn't be able to do anything for long, so jobs such as a fireman would actually be suffering....then train for strength by all means... I hope that makes sense, and again, I'm not putting you down nor am I stamping on your beliefs/hopes whatever. |

But Squaggle, that situation is kind of stupid. A fight where one has abs and everything else is equal? The guy with abs will be much leaner and probably faster...which is better than just being stronger. But whatever, it doesnt really matter. |

But I see where you are coming from, because I still love to make strength gains, I'm just tired of working hard and then hitting plateus, and if you hit a strength plateu, all your workouts are for nothing until you break them. My reasoning is a bit off, I know. I was just trying to express what I feel and think about it, but wasn't very successful pulling it off. |

I understand what you're saying though, and it's true. It can be extremely difficult to get past barriers (I recently had one with squats and I just decided to change them to front squats instead). I'm glad we both remained civil and had an intelligent disagreement of opinions. At least I know it's possible on this board now. ![]() |

). I'm going to graduate when I'm seventeen as well, it's really not such a great accomplishment. Oh, and whether you graduated from high school or not, your grammar still isn't the best.
