Semi Retired Powerlifter
Hello:
I am a semi-retired powerlifter. If I can be of any assistance to anyone, let me know. I'll gladly give advice. I have been lifting for many, many years. It's my way of helping out brothers and sisters. Real name is Jay Gibson, I have benched 725, squatted 940, and deadlifted 600 (sad, I know) in meets. Used to do so power bodybuilding years back, so I understand about diet and cardio also...

Can you build a lot of muscle with a low fat diet?
I'm struggling to make gains on the bench. I am not overtraining, and I am good about mixing it up (not doing the same weight/reps/motion too often) but I still struggle with getting much more than 225 lbs. Do you have any suggestions? |

Holy shit. I've never benched more than 315 in my life. It took me a long time to get 3 plates on each side in the gym. Man, I got drunk the first time I did that..lol How tall/weight (at the time of the lifts) are/were you?

Same here. It took me a couple straight years of serious lifting to pass the 300 mark on bench. This dude has to be close to 300 pounds in bodyweight. Jesse, I can't figure out why your squat is so much better than your deadlift. Did you neglect your upper back in training for a while? I'm doing a legs/push pull split routine for power. Any ideas on the best way to work a few sets of Olympic lifts into my program? Doing them on leg day fucks up my squat. Doing them on push day fucks up my bench. Doing them on pull day REALLY fucks up my deadlift. |

T.J. Eating a low fat diet makes it difficult because the body uses cholesterol to make testosterone, and fat is the source of cholesterol. I would advise stocking up on cold water fish, they have a high fat content but it is GOOD fat. As for the training, if your goal is to lift big, you must gear your trainuing for it. Back down to around 205 and go for 3 sets of triples, bumping it up only when three sets of three are all completed. Try this for 7 weeks. Train the bench per se, once a week. Throw in auxillary work in between. Avoid any heavy shoulder work.

5'7" and ~300 (actual weight was 299). Now I weigh around 250... Three plates is a great accomplishment. Do you realize that 99.99% of the people walking around can't do that, no way.

Hmm, interesting dilemna... For several reasons, I'd go with a few sets of cleans and some power snatches on my leg day. To avoid messing up my squat, I'd keep the sets low and do them prior to squatting. Think of them as a warm-up. Hope this helps.

I don't suppose I could continue doing push-ups every two days (also a likely factor contributing to my slow bench growth), could I? That would probably cause too much strain on my chest.

Not if you are really working the push ups hard. I used to do them in chains

Thanks, dude. Sounds like a good plan. I'm throwing in the Oly lifts for explosive strength, so I suppose a (relatively) high weight isn't necessary. Shit, I've never even tried to row more than 225. And I thought I was the shit because I can do pull-ups with a 45 on the dip belt. Fuck it. I still lift bigger than any of the niggers I see at the gym. Nothing makes me feel good like adding an extra wheel on each side of what some juiced-up groid was bouncing off his chest for a couple shitty reps. Speaking of which, did you guys EVER see a nigger doing a compound lift besides flat bench? They always head straight for the machines, especially when it comes to legs. A full half of the groids I see don't work legs at all. No bullshit. These niggers and spics will work their upper body every day, totally ignore their legs and core and spend a good 15 or 20 minutes between sets. The best was when this fat nigger watched me bang out a set of snatch-grip deads at more than twice my bodyweight. His exact words were; "Well, dat might make you bigger, but it sho' ain't gon' make you stronger." The nigger then proceeded to leg press 110 pounds for half-reps. :krofl |

There's really no reason to bother with push-ups unless you're stranded for a few weeks with no gym. Even then, you should limit it to handclap and 1-arm variations. There really isn't a whole lot of carry-over between push-ups and bench strength. If you really have to do them, do a single set of as many reps as possible AFTER you finish with benchpress. I don't understand what the big attraction is with this bodyweight exercise shit. People have spent hundreds of years developing strength training equipment because bodyweight excercises are generally not enough to give a meaningful degree of strength increase. You can forget completely forget about any kind of hypertrophy. No offense to you, McAllister. I'm just sick of seeing bodyweight workouts being promoted when we have much more effective means of building strength, size and endurance. |

I'm 6'1, 230. It seriously took me 6 months of pretty heavy training (although now I understand probably over training) to get that last 10 pounds from 305 to 315. It just would not happen..lol I took a week off from the gym for vacation, came back and nailed it after a light warm up. I don't lift "heavy" anymore, (I understand "heavy" is a relative term) Right now, I do 5 sets of 8 @ 225. Keeps injuries down. I'm gettin' old. (45) But now you bastards got me wondering if I can do it again..lol Great to have another lifter on the forum. Welcome to VNNF. BTW: What do you think of incline/decline benches for overall gains in the bench? I've heard it both ways, that it does indeed hit a different part of the pectoral muscle, and that it really offers no extra benefit and is just harder on the shoulder joints.

Yes, I know Louie Simmons (met him once and spoken with him on the phone a few times). I lifted at "The Ironhouse Classic" in Zanesville, in '05. Louie and his guys were there. Great fellows and Louie is a super guy. Here's my take on the incline/decline thing: I never did them, well, I tried them but they overtrained me. LOL! But I do know a guy or two who swore they helped. Maybe it's individual? All the best

I've got a few questions:
I'll try to think of some more when I get a chance. Either way, it's great to see you on VNNF.

1) Re: Cardio- There are conflicting beliefs concerning this but overall I have come to believe that it add to one's GPP and thus is a plus BUT I would not overly tax myself on it... 2) Here's my take on the Heart related issues: It rarely happens to the smaller guys. It is almost always a function of being LARGE. Even carrying around muscular bw puts a significant strain on the heart and if one is predisposed to bp problems, then it certainly exacerbates that- as well as many other cardio issues. 3) No. Nothing on God's earth can substitute for the barbell squat. 4) It is about skill with the shirt, I don't doubt there are guys who can get 300 over there best shirtless bench. But one must also realize hat those folks may be practicing ands focussing on shirted benches rather than shirtless ones. My best without a shirt was around 580 touch and go, my best with a shirt was 725 in a meet and around 770 without but it was just a gym lift and may not have even touched, I can't remember. I tried 800 in a meet but it wouldn't go.... Ah, the good old days... Thanks, man and I'll help if I can

I'm not built (skinny as hell), but I can testify to deadlifting/squats being the most effective way to build muscle.
I worked at a lumber yard lifting literally between 5,000-10,000 pounds a day (shingles, sacked concrete, etc.) for....eh...8 months. I gained about 15 pounds of what is apparently nothing but muscle, because my body fat according to my last doctor's visit is under 3%. I know such low body fat isn't always an ideal depending on what your values are, but that is just to show that the weight was pure muscle gain. So in my view, dynamic lifting like that is the way to go. However, that was the hardest fucking job on the planet, and I'll never do that shit again. |

Being that I want to be all around fit, I tend to put a lot of emphasis on cardio as of lately. It's amazing so many people lift for so long while neglecting BY FAR the most important muscle in the body - and I have been guilty of this as well. You neglect your calves and your physique might appear unbalanced when you wear shorts. Neglecting your heart, on the other hand, can be lethal. Quote:

What's your opinion of GH enhancing workouts? Say, you want increase your ability to do weighted pull-ups, so you do 30-45 minutes of heavy leg presses or squats before doing them. I have found this training technique to be one of the most effective things that I have EVER done.
