In My Opinion...

In my opinion...

• Creatine is the single best legal ergogenic supplement on the market for enhancing muscle strength and size.
• The bench press is the king of the upper body lifts (followed by the over head press).
• Pound for pound, women have leg strength equal to that of men. (Don't believe me? Check out the top ten all-time greatest squats in the men's and women's 165 lb. weight class in any of the powerlifting organizations. The numbers are pretty close!)
• The power clean is the most important lift for any contact sport athlete.
• A squat is not a squat unless the upper thigh breaks parallel.
• Olympic and college level wrestlers are the most fit athletes in the world!
• Strength training is not only safe for preadolescent children, it is also beneficial to their health and teaches lifelong fitness habits! That "damage to the growth plates" stuff is a bunch of @#%!!!
• A 500 lb. squat is more impressive than an 800 lb. leg press.
• An 800 lb. leg press is more impressive than a 500 lb. Smith machine squat.
• Guys who use steroids and compete in drug-free competitions are insecure losers.
• Baseball players should train their legs just as hard as an NFL lineman.
• Leg day sucks!
• Gyms that don't allow lifters to use chalk shouldn't be called "gyms". They should be called "fitness centers".
• Gyms that don't allow lifters to use chalk shouldn't have freeweights (only machines).
• Most men and women want their significant other to workout and be in shape.
• A gym is not "hardcore" unless it has dumbbells weighing up to 150lbs. or more.
