Marcus/Tom Weightlifting
After watching BB/BBLive a couple of times, I've noticed there seems to be a difference in how Marcus and Tom train.
Tom seems to have better form and favours compound exercises like press-ups and also uses a bit of cardio through skipping. He is well defined and is probably 5'8, 15 stone with about 10% body fat. He could lose a stone or two and still look in good shape.
Marcus seems to only have one excercise: the one-arm dumbell curl. This doesn't do much for overall strength and is pretty much the routine of someone who just wants big arms, but nothing else. My guess is Marcus is about 5'6, 14 stone and has about 25-30% bodyfat.
IMO, Marcus has convinced himself he is truly buff, yet when a genuinely muscular guy comes in, he feels threatened. If he was serious about training he would do more rounded exercises, like push-ups, chin-ups, squats and and bent over rows. They add more overall mass than curls could ever do.
Opinions?
