Quote:Actually, you're the one who derailed by jumping and declaring yourself fitness expert and then asking if it was a serious question. When the fact is, many here DON'T actually weight lift, and contrary to your belief...what you discussed is not common knowledge.

 

I asked you to elaborate, and once again you went into high and mighty mode by calling it "the dumbest thing" you've ever heard on the internet. At that point, yes, of course I would take offense and want to know what you actually know (because there's a lot of people who blow smoke in the internet, after all. And they are usually the ones who roar the loudest without the bite to prove it).

 

What you commented on was actually good information. Had you not gone into full attack mode right away, this conversation would have gone more smoothly.

 

The intent of my retort to the initial poster was that I felt Luke didn't do enough. Luke was young coming in, and his body reflected that. He could have done more work in that regard to help himself this season (he still looks pretty soft up top), even with the injury to his ankle.

Oh, I see.  So when the poster said that LJ would benefit from a full off-season of strength conditioning, which is completely inarguable, and you came back with "I didn't realize that knee (?) injuries prevented players from improving their upper body strength", that wasn't smart-alecky or attacking at all, just your silky-smooth and conversational way of saying "Luke didn't do enough".  And "enlighten us, please" was your charming way of saying, "hey, I don't know much about this topic.....I'd like your opinion".  Got it, thanks, won't happen again.
