Title: Is The Unbelievable the best training vid ever??
Post by: The Squadfather on April 03, 2007, 01:08:43 PM
i'd say based on the training and the way Ronnie looked in this vid i'd say yes.

I don't think Blood and Guts was that special. It's only an hour long, and there's no talking at all, so its not very informative. 

I woud put Nasser's videos up there--especially parts 1, 3, and 4.

I actually like the one levrone did a few years ago...the one where he goes "100 lbs dumbell curls....one arm...in your face"  or something like that, he's moving some incredible poundages in that vid and he's in damn good shape.

Not even close to the unbelievable.

Hard to believe someone as personable and entertaining as Levrone can't make it in hollywood ::)

He was probably joking, but I found it strange that he was so comfortable with joking about it.  Like in one part he introduces his marine friend and goes, "this is my boyfriend.  you know what they say about marines" and then grins....then in another part I think he was saying something about how his physique gets all the girls, then pauses and says something to the effect of the fact that he can get lots of guys too with his physique.

Several years ago he was doing an interview and at the very end of it he randomly stuck in, "For the record I support the gay community"

the reason i picked TU as the best is a combination of the way Ronnie looked and the crazy weight he used on everything for every bodypart, 585 front squats, 805 deadlifts, 200 pound db flat and inclines, 315 military press, 8 plate deep hacks, 500 pound bb rows, 12 plate T bars, etc., personally i think he looks the best he ever did on that video.

Mighty weights for you or I, yes...

But for Big Ron... "nuttin' but a peanut", as he repeatedly observes.

So clearly he's being lazy.  >:(

 "...here we go again, Yates, buisness as usual...heavy LEG PRESSING! "

Thank you.

This is the reason why Blood & Guts will never be surpassed. Not just an obnoxious training partner [shit, the Branch Warren video has that] but one who announces the exercise to be performed.

while the dude with the bandanna tupac shakur  was yelling :-\ at him
just came across like they tried to be hardcore.. if your hardcore you dont need to try....
wearing a bandanna and weight belt and a xxxl top doesnt make you hardcore..

Sorry bro. I'll send some sheep over to make up for it.

Peace.

BTW, to answer your question seriously, get the program 'Shareaza' - you can Google it and download it for free. It's a P2P network like Limewire and you can get nearly all the bodybuilding videos off it - there's over 300 titles you can download, not counting the small clips that you can find on sites like You Tube and Google video.

Only a closet homo would feel uncomfortable making gay jokes about himself imo.

Post by: pumpster on February 26, 2009, 05:05:45 PM
They're all interesting just seeing the top guys but in terms of intensity and inspiring training, some of those recent vids lacked that extra gear when it came to intensity IMO. Maybe because they were already at the top and coasting, didn't train as hard as they used to. At least i'd like to believe that; I was expecting more.

Coleman-awesome weights but the intensity could've been higher, especially since he knew this was being captured for posterity. He probably could've used someone pushing him more; that would help almost anyone.

Yates - solid intensity but in the context of supposed HIT training with minimal sets, he still left something in the gas tank, didn't push the envelope. The shouting struck me as faux energy.

This is more inspriing to me, but of course with the older stuff there are hardly any videos. Some of Haney's vids are good, and Strydom's.

Together with blood&guts the best yes

Yes, for me Ronnie lifts bigger weights more times and is bigger to look at, so it's The Unbelievable all the way. From the insane squats, deads and dumbell presses to the delts/chest/arms that look like they're gonna explode all the way through, it's got to be the unbelievable. That Levrone one is awesome too where he does 3 reps with 5 plates a side!

well opinions aside,dorian most likely had hard abs under all those layers,he trained fully clothed most time anyway.he looked massive in those cutoff sweatshirts.the only difference i see and i never tried to elbow,wrist wrap that big pros do like dorian , i guess it keeps the strain on those heavy lifts,coleman never seems to use other than knee wraps.

Two movies that changed my life were Jaws and The Unbelievable. Jaws because I was raised on the water. Amityville is the next town over from my home town. Both scared me to death! One monster shark eating little kids. And then theres Ronnie Coleman lifting all that weight. I've never bought another muscle magazine ever again. Everytime I watch Ronnie's vids I still cannot believe what he was capable of doing?!


Jaws is the first movie i remember seeing in a theater, it was 1975, i was 3.

I agree with many of the post here about Blood and Guts. It's a great tape.  I have always wanted to see real training and not some staged BS.  Here's one I bet a lot of you haven't seen that's all the way hard core.  It's "To the Extreme" by Shawn Ray.  It's real training and it shows how hard he trained.  He states on the tape that he doesn't consider himself the strongest bodybuilder but he still lifts some impressive weights.  500lbs rock bottom squats and repping out in the bench with 315lbs after doing 4 sets of dumbbell inclines. 

Nothing is worse than ordering a training film and see a pro doing demonstrations of exercises.  What's worse than that is a real training tape where the "champ" is using light weights.  One tape I have it shows two champs working out two weeks prior to the Olympia using 70lbs in tricep pushdowns. I know from diet your weak but if you weigh 260lbs your showing the muscles are just for show.
