A couple of days ago I noticed that my "rep" level (whatever the hell that means) was in the negative. Apparently I offended someone. When I click on the UserCP it says something like "Latest Reputation Received" and directs me to one of my prior posts. Here is the post... my comments are in orange.

CROWLER said:
Chest is one muscle and the ENTIRE muscle is flexed no matter what position the bench is in.

This is not entirely accurate. Some exercises cause more stimulation (as measured via emg or mri) of pec minor, others cause more stimulation of pec major.

For some this may be say 15 degree incline or 15 degree decline. The entire chest can be worked to its optimum by doing one exercise per week. Max muscle building is in the 5-7 rep range.

References please? One exercise per week is optimum? You cannot back up this claim.

There is no such thing as 'shaping' a muscle.

Agree

Now can someone tell me why the hell I've got NEGATIVE rep points for anything said there? How am I wrong for calling a guy out who says that doing one exercise per week for chest is optimum. That's retarded and perhaps irresponsible.

I would suggest that the mods need to reconsider how "rep" is allocated.

So you have a whole 29 posts and you are going to tell me what is "dumb" on my board?

First off I won't even get into the points because you both are wrong. Ok, what the hell...

1. Difference in stimulation doens't equate to difference in fibullar hypertrophy. Its not a black and white issue either way.

2. The chest CAN be hit optimally once per week if TUT time and con/ecc times are targeted to both myofibullar and sarcoplasmic hypertrophy. There are studies that vary in recovery time from 48 to 144 hours! In other words, BOTH can be optimal.

3. You can "shape" a muscle to some extent by increasing its nutrient capacity (sarcoplasmic hypertrophy)



4. STOP WORRYING SO MUCH ABOUT YOUR DAMN REPUTATION AND DON"T START A THREAD ABOUT WHAT YOU WOULD CHANGE BECAUSE YOU DON'T LIKE THE FACT SOMEONE NEG REPPED YOU. WHO FUCKIN CARES!!!!!!!!!

Have some points....HAPPY?

Jesus...
