Good response.

Actually I think many lifters on here knew what Prophet meant by his original statement. I've seen many many posts in the "what pisses me off the most" thread and similiar threads stating things we don't like about what others do in a gym. It didn't appear his statement was insulting to anyone directly.

The point he is trying to make is: Squats are the meat and potatoes of any leg program. If they are not included then the program is lacking substinence. Same phylosophy for Deadlifts.

Regardless if your a bodybuilder or a powerlifter those are 2 of your core excercises.

thank you for having the wits to understand my original statement

yea well that is what I expect from you GR8. If the people today don't do deadlifts then they are missing out greatly. I just couldn't imagine walking into my old gym and not seeing guys doing deadlifts. Just criminal if you ask me.

you make it sound like a bad thing fire. j/k. people nowadays don't really train for strength anymore it seems like, and I don't mean powerlifters, nor do I mean workin up your bench press fellas. how many people just go in and start lifting alot of weight like the old days, not enough. I would say it is criminal but these guys don't have the balls to be called criminals, ha ha.

hey Fire is that captain America in you AVI?? pretty sweet my man

So many pros started off power lifters before they made the transition. Arnold even did power lifting routines at different points in his career.

And yes that is Capt. America. Thanks man

Hey fire check out this exercise I have been doing lately, I love it. It is called the bear, its totally a strength excercise I have never seen anyone done before. It is tiring as a mo fo but it is pretty fun. Sometimes I do it to warmup and sometimes I go heavier with it. Peep the article real quick and tell me what you think my man, it is good times

There is no way to answer that unfortunately. One guy tore his lat and pec doing a warmup set, no complete seperation but it took him out of competing for a year.

Just common sense Prophet. Didn't take much to read between the lines. You have to understand the other guys though also, lots of people come in here and bash so sometimes they/we/me get a bit defensive a little too quickly with new people. I think it was all a misunderstanding and best left to die.
By the way, Welcome aboard and I look forward to reading more of your posts.

Granted I only have done it a few times but it is extremely tiring man, you feel hella good doing that shit though. I haven't tried to go very heavy on it yet, I try to stay fliud with the motion and keep solid for but I slapped on the 35s and banged out 8 reps or so. It is like cardio, I had a little side ache after I was done. I like to warm up with it, get the blood moving. da BEAR

35's huu? Next are the wagon wheels. I'll give it a try when my legs are recovered.
