But i got to add something here. The one who things his way is the only and the best, he is the one who do something wrong. Cause you can achieve strength (max,explosive,endurance) in different ways. So like my man Ross stated: Don´t waste your time on the keyboard, spend it for your specific needs or train to get better. I could not say it better Ross.

I completely agree that it's pointless arguing with someone else about how good or bad your own/their approach to training is. however, I think it's about more than having a better way of training. I suppose it's human nature to try to feel superior to others, and training is just one regard in which that can (supposedly) be accomplished. politics and economy would be great examples too for how people fight over one philosophy or another. still, I think that it is just fine to have an opinion about those issues. one should realize though that everyone is entitled to their own opinion, and for most people (especially on message boards), I doubt that too many advantages will arise for them if they can convince others of their own approach (unless maybe you're trying to sell something, in which case it's called advertising), so why would you even bother. personally, I certainly do feel that some approaches to training/fitness are better than others, and of course I apply those methods, and if someone asks me about it, I gladly share my opinion. but I do prefer to spend my time differently than by participating in discussions on message boards. not sure if I ever left a comment before, but this is once again a great opportunity for me to do so.
