Can anyone explain why Waterbury calls his program "Anti-BodyBuilding Hypertrophy"? |

I thought I had asked this question before but I can't find it.
Can anyone explain why Waterbury calls one of his programs "Anti-BodyBuilding Hypertrophy"?
Is it because that one focuses on building strength rather than muscle?

I think he claims it breaks all the body building rules.

I think so too. I can't swear to it, but if memory serves me right, it's because the principles in ABBH go against what your typical lifter thinks is necessary for gaining size.

I may have misunderstood, but I think it's because he considers it to break a few often-cherished tennets of bodybuilding.

He explains it in the online article here.
Basically:
Quote:
Anti-Establishment Hypertrophy
I can't read most hypertrophy training articles because of health reasons — they make me sick. Never has there been a topic with more misinformation than muscle-building methods.
At least some strength-training articles seem to have a shred of scientific basis, but with bodybuilding articles, all common sense and science seems to go to the wayside. That's probably because more is understood about the nervous system than muscle soreness, or maybe it's because most of the writers who are only concerned about hypertrophy training are imbeciles who can't even build muscle on themselves. You be the judge.

and...

The Anti-Bodybuilding Hypertrophy Program
After reading through these principles, you probably understand why I refer to this as an anti-establishment program. I think I broke every so-called "hypertrophy" rule in the book! But you know what? This program rapidly builds muscle and it's very similar to the principles the old-time strongmen used to follow.

I think those quotes sum up where the name came from.

Whenever I hear ABBH mentioned I think of a program for building really big antibodies.
Then you could go around kicking sand in the face of scrawny pathogens.
