The line about fat kids in the gym who think they are power lifters is a classic.

Agreed about the rambling, completely disagree about pretty much any of it being true.

Doing a press before rear delts on shoulder day is "stupid"? please.

I liked how he talked about squatting, I wish every quarter squatter realized how much of a puss they are:tiphat:

some ppl literally cannot go past parallel on squats because it hurts their knees..isnt that listening to your body because ur preventing knee injuries and problems..also there is alot of research in rep schemes and amount of sets that is optimal for muscle growth...however i do agree everyone is different anatomically and what may work for someone may not work the same way as someone else

haha he is fucking funny and honest, he aint gonna sugarcoat shit how many pros will tell you they dont take anything, that they dont touch roids, bullshit! everyone is just mad at this guy for being honest and wanting to break a record which was to have the worlds biggest arms and he did it, so get over it alot of bodybuilders use synthol also he just abused it big fucking deal

synthol arms, and aynthol anything dosnt count as the worlds largest arms/legs, delts, whatever.

anyone can inject that shit all day for a year and then suddenly have the worlds biggest anything without even having to lift a weight.

True, some cant go past parrallel or parallel for that matter But most that claim this mistake the squatting pain for knee pain when they really just cant take the pain of leg day. Im a good example i finally went to the doctor because for years i had knee pain before i started working out only to find out that both my knees were offset from the place where they were supposed to be and the doctor said work them out to build up the muscle to correct them. So i started working them out squatting and leg pressing and i now have no knee pain so many who claim this just cant hack it.

Ripley's Beleive It Or Not... :weaksuace:

oh he might have the biggest Synthol arms, but they arnt real arms. synthol only fools the completely naieve.
you could even pass off that 800pound obese man as having the worlds largest pecs and legs, but really, thats not impressive.
synthol is basicly injectable fat. niether is impressive

the effort of Tom Platz is really underscored if you have some 800pound lard ass claiming to have the biggest legs in the world.

in a way yes. but for someone to go on talk shows and support and spread propaganda like this is bad for the sport. not to mention his dumbass special of "the man who's arms exploded" every idoit who talks to me about this now thinks steroids are the cause of this and bodybuilders are just mental cases. he's a fucking piece of shit and needs to stay the hell away from our sport.

My trainer feels the same exact way and said exactly that to me, I get your argument but hes also straight forward doesnt bs and extremely educated he is obviously a little nuts for going to that extreme but watch this video and he talks about it

Right at the beginning: "I trained 23 years without steroids...":jerkoff1:
Valentino-ish to English-dictionary below:

Steroids = Synthol
Supplements = Steroids

Great Vid Pain!

He did make some valid points, eventhough he sets a bad image for bodybuilding
