If ever you want a laugh just go and click on the various bodybuilding forums.....This one excluded..

Here is a small sample...of what you'll get..

Q. Which of these is better for my Traps....Close or wide grip upright rows ?//........... "Do shrugs"

Q. Should I do more chins or more pullups which is better ?//................................."Do Deadlifts"

Q. I've acquired some test cyp should I start off with 250mg a week or 500mg.........."Get some Sustanon"

"If you don't do Squats you're aren't a bodybuilder"

"I'm 160 pounds and I've got 18 inch arms at 3% bodyfat"......



Either the World is full of idiots or Strongy gets around..............

Got to be honest Truss, for sheer entertainment You vs Strongback on the old 606 was hard to beat, Dorian Yates, smith machine etc.

Do you remember that idiot Ninjetsu or whatever? The 6 3" welterweight amateur boxer come bodybuilder who also claimed o be a 5 8" wrestler from NE England. Apparently he moved to the States to continue his wrestling career!

Or how about that guy that new absolutely everybody in the powerlifting & Olympic weightlifting scene? Hated anything that wasn't the above with regards to lifting & fitness and hated any form of supplements!

Great stuff......

Remember Strongy saying I was teling porkies when I said Yates did Smith Machine squats and then "Cast a shadow" printed the article......I enjoyed that !!

Ninjetsu................20 wins 20 kayos no defeats...........at 6ft 3 !!! and won bodybuilding contests galore at 147.....

What a guy !!!

Well, like all forums, BB forums are just opinions, some well formed, others not so well formed. Full of great characters nonetheless. Remember when I started lifting in earnest, there was a guy on Bodybuilding.com who had a transformation of note called Zyzz. Had a legion of groupies as well, he was always good fun. Didn't seem very bright, though and died in steam room in Thailand, but he was alright.

Do take time to read the Misc section on BB.com, it's an unending supply of one upmanship.

How long ago did you begin 'lifting in earnest' re Zyzz? Guys been dead over 3 years. Seems his name is getting around a bit at the moment. He built a good physic very quickly from what I've seen & read, also from a pretty basic routine & diet, steroids aside.

I'll have to check that section on BB.com, should be hilarious, full of guys that make Arnie look small & weak!lol

Started out cycling, etc when I was about 14 to lose some weight. But was only in 2010 when I really began pumping iron ( was first XV rugby time!). He was a goofball, but he had $20 000 to blow on a holiday, so obviously had a bit of business sense to go with.

And yes, unless you can bench 550, have 20" arms and a 30" Waist... you're at the lower end of the Misc spectrum

15 then? That's young! Is that normal in SA for rugby players of that age? Have no idea about the training protocol of youth rugby, were you part of a pro academy?

Zyzz I think made some money through internet posing etc but also did some modelling, so with modelling you can make some money and travel a bit.

Yeah the one upmanship on some forum's does get a bit ridiculous. I tend to use the review part of the bodybuilding.com website when looking at what supplements are out and if there's any which are highly rated.

Tempted to try the Arnold Iron Mass when i've used up my current protein powder.

It was young, I suppose - 15 going on 16. Standard first XV rugby age is 17-19, but I started school a year early. Wasn't a pro academy (although a few alumni from the team are to be found currently playing Varsity Cup, and U/21 provincial), just a particularly well off school - we were among the first to have a Full time dietician, and our gym was upgraded to professional athlete levels, because it was used during the 2010 world cup. Proper space age stuff. Looking back, it was great fun. Played an attractive brand of rugby, pity we couldn't defend against a bunch of girl scouts!! Dangers of teaching intercept-hungry kids the drift defence I suppose
