Wow - lots gooing on here in this thread. Couple of points that need to be made.
1) Billy King - first off, listen to Bob. Quit fucking asking for arm workouts - you ARE a beginner if you can't Olympic Squat (that means sitting on your heels) 1.5-2x your bodyweight, bench 1-1.5x your bodyweight, push press your bodyweight, and deadlift 2x bodyweight. - you are 160lbs and 6 feet tall, which means you are an absolute rank beginner. You need to be doing shit tons of squats and deadlifts and presses - all heavy. Train 3-4 days per week and make sure you squat at LEAST 2x per week (preferably 3).
2) Foreman, I know you are new to this board and are only trying to help people. You seem like a cool guy but you haven't been here long enouhg to know who the real knowledgable guys are, who have built this training section into the best on the net. Bob knows his shit and I most certainly know mine (notice, both of us are mods for a reason), so to go against either one of us is quite disrespectful to us and other members of this board when the fact is that we know more than you do about training.
I can assure you that I've read vitually every worthwhile text on training ever written (including ALL of the translated Russian material). I am extremely close to a handful of the greatest strength and conditioniong coaches in the country and pick their minds on a daily basis, am a pretty damn successful strength and conditioing coach myself, and have applied the principles Bob and I are talking about to hundreds of athletes with great success. Furthermore, I am an elite level powerlifter and this year will win my pro card for strongman.
So, while I am certainly not the smartest or most athletic guy in the whole world, I think my experience should earn me a handful of respect around here.
Matt
