Track & Field / Re: the thrower thread - shotput/javelin/hammer etc
« on: March 09, 2011, 02:24:19 pm »How big is Thorkildsen? I know javelin throwers aren't as big as weight throwers, but still, anyone approaching normal size(i.e. not tiny gymnast size with colossal arms) doing an iron cross is unreal.
Hes 6'3-6'4 and 200lbs

Program Review / Re: Body Weight Programs
« on: March 08, 2011, 03:02:21 pm »Let's say one reaches an upper body physique and strength level they are satisfied with. Would doing push ups and chinups/pullups with BODYWEIGHT only like every other day be enough to maintain that muscle mass/physique and strength in the upper body?
A freaking useless question.
What physique level is the person satisfied with? Manny Pacquiao? Brad Pitt in Fight Club? Tommy Jeffers? Ronnie Coleman?
What physique level did the person start out with? Super skinny? Lean and muscular? Burly, i.e. chubby but with solid muscle underneath? Straight-up fat?

Strength, Power, Reactivity, & Speed Discussion / Re: Importance of Training Whole body
« on: March 07, 2011, 01:19:03 pm »yeah but big upper body and tiny legs makes you look like a fucking idiot.
That is a physical (observable) characteristic of some of the top sprinters in the world: Broad shoulders, narrow hips, relatively long, skinny legs.
touche. allow me to revise my statement: big upper body and tiny legs makes you look like a fucking idiot unless you are a demonstrably ridiculous athlete, e.g. a world-class sprinter.

Strength, Power, Reactivity, & Speed Discussion / Re: Importance of Training Whole body
« on: March 07, 2011, 09:01:55 am »Well there are many benefits.
For one, squats build core strength. Secondly, the power you get (whole body power) is still hip initiated in general, and core generated/managed. Thirdly, a good leg strength base is the foundation on which upperbody is based on in terms of good stability for good power generating. And quartedly, the more lean muscle in general you have the more irradiation effect you have.
Where I'm going here is sports. If you do pullups/chinups/pushups etc just for the sake of good looking, then all I said is pretty much nullified.
