Bands

I like my Ac/Dc and metallica but not sure they'd keep me strong...
 
I'm a far bigger fan of classic thrash bands than the wanna be death metal twat bands of today.
 
Does the muscle know the difference? Tell me how....Bands place most force in contracted position.........where needed to avoid injury.

I think you are being controversial rather than serious but if it was a superior method, every musclehead on the planet would be using bands. Not a single top BB uses them that I am aware of.
 
Depends on what you mean by better. For an old guy with injuries, perhaps. For adding max amount of muscle, of course not and even laughable.
 
agree...im guessing it works for you so you say it works for everyone..
 
I'm thinking Phil, the consummate pro that he is, is referring to the negative potion of the rep being equal to the concentric portion of the rep which would definitely increase the effectiveness of the most neglected portion of the rep. When I was building up to hitting over 500 lbs on the flat bench I would do negative reps on weights far heavier than I could push up. But the negative reps did indeed translate into a more powerful positive rep as well as build muscle. With that in mind I would agree in part. But nothing can compare to free weights in my very small prejudiced mind.

You are not a bodybuilder...........you are just a gut with a fat back
 
We don't tolerate insults ok. Phil perhaps if you posted something other than cryptic little 2 to 4 line posts, you would probably be taken as more credible.
 
Geesh Daddy. Dont be so touchy. I agreed wjth you. I could see bands creating a constant tension that is lacking if free weights. There's no rest phase of the rep. I'm a big boy. I play with heavy weights. I'm 61 years old and still hitting over 500 on flat bench. Squats repping 495 though not too much past year or so due to joint pain. Dude, chill. You are a consummate pro, or you were. I remember seeing you in muscle and fitness when i was in prison, had a subscription. All the muscle heads did. Dude, you were badd ass. You Probably still are in great shape. And no doubt you are generating a little hate. It's not normal for this board, being as we are all mostly older guys who have been in the game decades, like yourself.
You have my word I'll cut the shit if you give some rhyme or reason to your one liners.
You are Phil fu kin Hernon. I'm just an old outlaw who started lifting in prison, twice. I lift a lot of weight, love women. Like to fight. A d will make money any way I can. I'm no threat to you, as is no other person on this board. You have a lot to offer.
So, did you build up your base, then refine those muscles using free weights, machines, or bands? Are you saying bands, like bow flex machine?
Let's start a dialogue instead of being dickheads. All of us.

Wait... Are you intentionally being antagonistic? You're just a bodybuilder. Big deal.

I for one, I am at 222, definitely not huge. But I am athletic, and a helluva lot to deal with at 37 years in the martial arts. But damn functionally strong, and a helluva lot more athletic than a bodybuilder.

What's your deal dude?
 
Gotta say, I'm a bit disappointed that Turd Hernon got himself booted. Woulda been fun to mess with him.

Trolls cannot be messed with. It strengthens them. They can only be killed via starvation of their only sustenance: attention.

Sadly, you are totally right.

Although, he was a fun one to mess with; but we just got started.

C'est la Vie!
 
Several of us asked simply for him to elaborate on his posts intelligently, I myself did so, he chose his path. In what I think was strategy to draw younger members to him and his media presence by his constant adversarial stance with long time vets....

Don't ask me why I spent time thinking of it... I guess I just needed to assign a reason onto his behavior. Perhaps I'm just giving him too much credit... but it is the season of giving....
 
I realize this is an old post and since I was away from the boards so long I had NO idea Phil was even on here...was is the word.
I thought he was only on pm, where he's banned as well. The guy has completely lost his mind. I follow him on fb and if you saw the rants he posts there...incredible he's not in a mental institution lol. The man's obsessed with Trump, he hates him and any other Republican. He's a snowflake libtard who's gone off the deep end.
I do however give him some credit regarding his cancer and treatment tho. Maybe that's what pushed him over the edge? Every board he was on under his iwn name he's banned from for life. Roughrydr, I toi used to literally idolize the guy back in the 90's, especially when he used to rep the Bulgarian Burst Training put out by Leo Costa, which I ordered in like 92, tried for a few months but couldn't hack it. Now he seems to be against anything to do with weights and is all for "bands only" training which I'll never understand. Used in conjunction with weights yes I can see but to rely on bands only...wtf?!

Anyhoo...sorry for opening up an old thread. I was just shocked to see his name pop up as I was perusing what I've missed out on for so long.
