Mass gaining program?

There's seriously no point. You posted above that you're not an expert, not a competitor, not a student, so what good is me telling you anything going to do? You're absolutely, incontrovertibly wrong, but you said yourself that you'll "stick to your guns", so...why bother?

If I'm wrong then how come I have 0 of your awful imbalances and I do 0 of your overrated accessories? I didn't know you had to be an expert to sign up on this site and share your opinions and experiences. Hmmmm... must have missed that.

So if I'm so wrong then please explain why I'm an exception to your view after 6 solid years of experience, there Mr. expert.
 
You're not. I guarantee you have imbalances & deficiencies.

Here's the deal; post videos of max effort squat, deadlift & bench, and I'll point them out to you.

I've been training, competing, and studying this for 20 years. I have imbalances. You're a casual lifter (which is fine, not everyone competes), you have them too. EVERYONE HAS THEM.

If your ego won't let you admit that, it's on you. You've got some growing up to do, son. It's not my job to teach you how to do that. However, I'll gladly critique your ME lifts in the big 3 if you've got the balls to post vids.

I guess if you've got nothing better to do, oh wait, you don't. Perfect. Free expert full evaluation... hell yeah.
 
Oh my god what did I just read...

Any person who has a desk job or travels a lot probably has an imbalance if not addressed, any person who rolls there shoulders forward daily probably has an imbalance, any person who walks flat footed probably has an imbalance, and I could think of more.

Try to get an average person to break parallel on a squat WITH GOOD FORM. Try to get the average person to bench with proper thoracic arch, try to get an average person to stand up with out an arm rest let alone deadlift correctly with such weak under developed hamstrings and glutes.

They may get through it for awhile like this, but eventually they will start getting injured as I have in the past. Now I do mobility work every day and I wish I would have valued it much sooner.
 
We all have have imbalances that, in some cases, we have been living with for years. Sometimes if we try and correct those imbalances we can do more harm than good ( more so with chronic imbalances than acute ones ). It's about adapting both our lives in and out of the gym to reach as good an individual athletic potential as we can.
Like I mentioned in a previous post, a mandatory and very high priority part of a good training program is individualized mobility/flexibility exercises. An element that sadly I feel is overlooked by the majority of bodybuilders!
Like the last post said he wishes he had realized the importance and benefits years ago!
Cheers :)

You really need to get a sense of humor. Of course if I had a PhD (or any degree for that matter) in an exercise science related field and still only pulled in 40k, I'd be a little dull as well. Haha

And when I send you my tapes and my form is immaculate then will you shut up and stop condoning amateurs to add exercises they're not even sure will work in addressing their unmanifested imbalances they're not even certain they have. :)
 
I love how you bleed insecurity, but project false bravado. It's delicious.

Key word there: mobility

Which is not an assistance exercise in my book. If you find a stretch or mobility work that adds mass, give me a call before you make the greatest discovery of all time.
 
Also, can you send those tapes on Betamax? Can't afford YouTube...

How about any unilateral leg work that promotes balance and stretch(Bulgarian split squats, lunge variations) or ones that make the glutes and hamstrings have greater mobility(good morning, RDL). There are tons of exercises that involve both. And for the record, none will without food or an extremely anabolic environment in a novice/intermediate lifter. Your ignorance is not helping anyone including yourself.

Bulgarian split squats are brutal. I love them.

Mate, mate, mate! I was backin ya until you unleashed this load of CRAP!
Greater ankle, hip, lower back mobility will alow a greater depth in a squat and this DOES directly translate to greater mass!
mobility/flexibility = greater range of motion on a given exercise, and greater range of motion usually ( not always ) = more intense exercises which obviously = increased mass!

Then we should expect some vids today?

BWAHAHAHAHAHA! We know that ain't happenin.

The youtubez makes it hard to hide behind BS in this day & age. I just assume if one won't post vids, they're a f'n liar.
