[QUOTE="JPB, post: 72115, member: 2659"] I never said bodybuilders don't get injuries. It's just my observation, over 40+ years in both BB and power lifting gyms. The power lifters are subject to more catastrophic issues, and tend to have shorter careers. Based on my observation. But that's not meant to be universal. I referred to Ronnie and Dorian as example of two prominent guys who did have issues likely from extreme training methods. No point debating the origins of heavy duty, I know that history. With Casey Viator and Jones. While top-level bodybuilding has had examples of catastrophic injuries or disabilities likely due to training methods, there have been also many examples of guys who were able to compete at a high level into the upper 40s or 50s. So do you have any source for the claim, that these scientific methods, would help a high-level bodybuilder accomplish better results? It seems your assertion with this thread is that if bodybuilders trained more scientifically (in terms of periodization, etc) well then of course, they could really start getting better results. ... So I doubt if that is the case. And the training methods are not unsophisticated. The results speak. They already pack on more muscle per inch than power lifters, while generally sustaining fewer injuries. But anytime you talk the top 1% of competitors, injuries can and will occur. [/QUOTE]
