Thread: Is it the squeeze of the muscle that gives us the size?

The other night i was doing lat pulldowns with 100 kgs sets of 6-8 and i was gettin a pump but i lowered it down to 70kgs and i pulled the bar down with my lats first and then used my arms the rest of the way. At the bottom i squeezed my lats as hard as i could for approximately 1 sec. After i got off the machine I had never felt so huge and pumped in my life.

The dude training with me is big. He claims that he used to be 150kgs 8% (which is fkn huge). He was destined to go far... however unfortunately he was in a car accident... the car passed through the passenger side of his car and hit him at 120kms an hour... He told me the only reason he is still alive today is because of steroids. While on steroids his neck grew so huge that it was luckily not broken in the car accident. After the accident he suffered many injuries however and had to stop training.

Just thought I'd add this in to show that bodybuilding can actually save your life.

This was a very inspirational to hear from an ex bodybuilder whilst he delivered his story to me on the verge of tears. He was forced to give up what he loved most but it is because of the thing he loved most he was still here today, offering his advice and inspiration to young bodybuilders like myself.

We need more inspirational stories about how steroids save life's.

I will give you mine, a few years ago steroids saved my life. I was being arrested for illegal possession of prescription steroids, and thanks to all the added strength and aggression form years of use I was able to beat up the 3 cops and get away.

Dude, I'm tellin' ya, try goin' lighter and really just focusing on peak contraction and keepin' stress on the desired muscle your workin' on the negative....Works wonders
