I never said you can emphasize one over the other.

If you will read the post Gaz said the quad is one muscle and the back is many. This is wrong as I pointed out.
Quit getting defensive bitch your not special....i'm just trying to mess with you.

He cannot fathom the notion that you cannot emphasize certain portions of a muscle over others.

I guess that it will take time to correct these mistaken beliefs

sorry for interrupting but im jsut curious, the training section is for people who need help training, and there are noobs that post stuff about 'build a routine' and 'am i doing this right'. what are ideal threads and questions that would not irrate yall. i guess what im asking is what questions havent been answered that isn't considered a noob question and a question that would be enjoyable to answer?

feel free to ignore this, was just wondering.

If you read the stickies and then ask a question beyond that content, then it would generate interest.

so basically, its people not reading stickies then making a thread about that subject? i guess that would annoy me also.

lucifuge · 04-21-2008, 07:09 PM

I've spent some time on other forums, but I personally feel that IM is the best.
The amount of information here is amazing and I have complete respect for so many people here.
I'll admit, sometimes the "how's my routine" questions get a little old, but I honestly do not see why it's so difficult for a 'noob' to read the damned stickies.

That's it.

Questions like, "I'm doing a full workout of nothing but biceps, should I do 20 or 30 sets for each exercise?" is pretty insulting in that it shows the person has done nothing to educate themselves and want to be spoon-fed.

On the other hand, asking if your push/pull/legs routine is well balanced shows just the opposite and will get some very useful input.

min0 lee · 04-21-2008, 07:34 PM

The creatine questions were the worst, it's not so bad now.

Irons77 · 04-21-2008, 07:45 PM

What is creatine? MinO lol

DOMS · 04-21-2008, 07:47 PM

No, that's not how it goes. It's more like, "I been taking creatine for four weeks, how long should the PCT be?" or "I took too much creatine, am I going to die?"

tomuchgear · 04-22-2008, 04:37 PM

main thing i have noticed on here is people dont like to hear the word synthol. also alot of stupid posts regarding abs, then some dumb questions bout juice. other forums i have seen alot of really stupid posts about juice were to get so on and so on. i like this place stupid stuff gets axed quickly. keep up the good work guys.

Yeah, my bad - i should have made that clearer, lol.

My point was that the quad muscles do the same thing (basically), whereas the muscles of the back do very different things.

I dont wanna get into that topic again

fuck it.

Please tell me that wasnt actually a thread.

Funny story though, when i was a n00b and started taking Creatine to "get big" i misread the dosage and took 2 tablespoons instead of 2 teaspoons.

My legs cramped up before i even got to the fucking gym.

Hoglander · 04-23-2008, 10:20 PM

People are going to come here because they need help. I don't think that is to surprising. People stay here for years with thousands of posts because they need help, IMHO. You have to ask yourself what is normal and move on from there. I am not normal, BTW. I'm just not totally abnormal.... yet.

No, that wasn't a real question.

Great story.

**Gazhole** · 04-24-2008, 04:07 AM

It was a bad afternoon, i figured out what id done as soon as my legs started to hurt, lol. I drank so much water

countryboy · 04-29-2008, 11:38 AM

from a newbie...

I read the articles / stickies and a whole bunch of stuff..

*BUT*

Somtimes I want the "latest" information, not something from 2 years ago. How much has technology (training) and science (nutrition, etc.) changed in 2 years? Might get different answers from what you would in a searcch.

Also, I read the stickies, put together a program, but am not sure of the interpretation of some items.. sometimes you just need someone else to say "yes or "no".. other times it is good to get another opinion...

For those before me > Thank-You!

It's all good!
