QUOTE(gtoforce @ May 19 2009, 12:00 AM) its really hard to find bb'ers like u dude sticking always to the basic i guess people now go for quantity than qualityi second that but not referring to darkie's high vol with hi reps tho...i can see a lot of ppl at my workout place, went for high vol but never done it the right way because they were lifting too heavy...this past few weeks i reduced my vol a little, maintain the reps but went for slower tempo...fast tempo is ok but i felt much more pain on the particular muscle with slow reps...

QUOTE(darklight79 @ May 19 2009, 01:36 AM) That's because they try to lift too heavy too fast. And they don't use correct form even if they're using sufficient volume. They do half assed reps or cheat too much. Then the accessory muscles get more worked more than the target muscles. You know how much was my starting incline bench? The bar alone. My starting dumbell press, 20pounds. When you do proper form, you may feel like a pu$$y with such baby weights but the target muscle gets hit and your strength gains come MUCH faster compared to half assed rep strength progression. Hypertrophy first always, that's our target, BUT the strength will come. Which is why people like Ronnie Coleman and Dexter Jackson can hold their own among powerlifters. Which is why i can hold my own among the powerlifters at my gym. And the public gym i work out at have a lot of hardcore people. Heavy weights yes, but done with proper form. somehow i found that your post is inspiring bro...this maybe due to your experience not just from some reading on some webbies or books...thanks for the explainations...it add values into my workout...now i'm working out with a piece of mind...
