I don't know how I found this article but I thought it was interesting. I have no idea who the guy is but I tend to agree with his assestment in The PLATEAU part of the article. Also I found what he said about training when muscles are sore is true for me. Example of that for me is doing tree work on Saturdays. Since I don't do it during the week I get sore. So most of the time I like to train lower body on Sunday because it takes the soreness away. Anyhow, here's the article. What's Your opinion and thoughts?

Bob I agree, Isometrics ( exercisers & exercises) and VRT/DVR build a strong body. That is why Boxers used this method in the 1950s/60s. Steroids and bulk verses being fit like a boxer and healthy is a wise choice.
