What's up, I just discovered this board. I'm a long time lifter and although I don't compete, I'm big.
One critique I have of you guys is that you focus too much on weights. 3 plates this, 6 plates that. If someone has a 1 plate bench, you make fun of him and call him a manlet or something.
I think this is bad for everyone. If you are making fun of someone for only benching 1 plate, that guy is going to try to increase his weight to 2 plates too fast, by cheating or doing the exercise wrong, opening the angle of his shoulders or doing half reps. That's how he is going to get hurt.
Truth be told, although I am big and although I can curl 110 lbs if I want to, my normal arm workout is just basic curls with controlled form at 35 to 45 lbs. I can challenge myself with 30 lbs even. I've been reading here for a few days and I've never seen anyone here talk about continuous muscle contraction, which is the most important thing to getting big. I saw an interview with a bigtime professional bodybuilder talking about continuous contraction, I had fast "gains" since that moment.
So in summary, you should all focus on technique and the correct form and especially *continuous contraction* (don't lock out!) instead of the number on the weights you are lifting. Just lift enough to challenge yourself, hit your muscles hard, and get that all-day burn. Happy lifting!

You cannot get pecs woth a 1pl8 bench as a natty. Progressive overload os the main factor behind growth. At a certain point you hsvd to add weights to increae volume

Post your body or you're gonna get shit on and people will assume you're a manlet.
Also, the reason for this is because the anonymity of 4chan provides for an exceptionally caustic culture. We're gonna make fun of manlets and weak people regardless.

I'm sorry bro. Everyone is a dyel shitposter except for the few to back up their advice with a current body pic.
You are absolutely right on all accounts. I noticed a big difference when I started caring about the reps, dropping the weight, and emphasizing range of motion. It's hilarious how many people don't know how to build muscle.
