Post by: whitewidow on January 01, 2012, 04:25:10 AM
could they possibly gain any muscle lifting like that?looks like a dsaster waiting to happen. the drop set was the best set they did. everything else was stupi like when branch stood up on the lat pull down. you cannot build muscle lifting like that. that is not how a normal bodybuilder works out I did not see one muscle properly contract. to guys with huge egos! drop the egos and they might really be a threat! even with the egos they are not impressive!hell they would get kicked out of my gym so fast screaming and liftinjg like that. you can get kicked out of my gym just for using chalk! its a shhitty rule but these guys could really hurt themselve. I go to a bally fitenss and screaming like that and lifting weights unsfely like that will get you kicked out fast! they dont give a shit they have enough members they would return their money with a smile. I personally need to train at a more hardcore gym ike that. where you can get a little hyped up.

These two nitwits are cruisin' for a bruisin'.

And Johnnie IS NOT the strongest IFBB pro. Not even close. His later deadlifting is quite good, but his five singles with 455 in the first video is pathetic. And, yes, I know he did other shit first, but really, a guy on that much gear?!

Kai Green is also much stronger than these two morons.

You obviously did not watch the other video where Josh Bryant is helping him.  He pulls 820 with just a belt and then does like 8 sets of singles with crazy amounts of band tension and 675 on the bar.  Guy is fucking strong.

Videos like this do expose the HUGE advantage in using boatloads of gear. When someone who responds well is on so much juice, all that's required from a lifting standpoint is some form of stimulation. Doesn't really matter too much how this is achieved: high reps, low reps, partial reps, low volume, high volume, Heavy Duty, poor technique, superb form, whatever.

JOJ has the best chest bar none in the Pro ranks...

Compare these two nimrods to the recent video of Lionel Beyeke benching 4 plates in great form, or that amateur guy squatting 600 with great control and form.

Kai Green is also much stronger than these two morons.

"strongest BB in the world".. ::) ::)
I seriously doubt any of them would get more than 6 strict reps with 315 on the bench or incline.

Johnnie's a powerlifter, who has flat-benched WAY more than 315 lbs, and has the trophies to prove it.

very true.....  ego training at 40 yrs old... :-\

And how are they supposed to train again?

When guys don't train with heavy weights, all we hear from Getbig "experts" is that they're "all drugs". Yet, when guys like Warren and Jackson DO train with heavy weights, we hear this flap about "ego" and that theyre "all drugs".  ::)

All reps were good,nothing like the sloppy ass shit training in this video.

i believe that.. because all lifts at powerlifting meets requisites for lifts are thoroughly enforced
when he is training though... for reps.... he and branch have the worst form of all pros

i've seen a lot of these guys in real life up close on stage

and i wanted to mention johny jackson's upper body is absolutely shocking, especially his back it is thick as a brick and looks juicy and dense (no shmoe)

if only his legs matched his upper body he could beat branch warren on stage?

i saw Ronnie in person at his best in July of 2000 and he was absolutely RIDICULOUS in person, like ive said a million times before the man looked like had had 30 pound boulders under his skin all over his body, quads were rubbing together at the knees, 5'11" and 315 pounds with abs.

watch the videos the day before and after t his years olympia and youll see it too.  he looks huge on stage, but its illusion.

great physique, what a bodybuilder should look like, cant wait to see him with 5-10 more years under his belt as long as he stays injury free and doesnt get a gut he should be out of this world.

you cant be a big guy in clothes with a bone structure like that though, no matter how much muscle he has, some big boned farm boy from Gerogia will walk in a room with shoulders twice as wide and never having touching a drug in his life. Phil is a very small guy, that's what blows my mind with levrone as he too was a very small guy, albeit a better structure but still a very small guy that looked huge in clothes. lots of people dont realize  how big kevin was...all at 240. Gh15 said he was one of the biggest bbers ever, biggest LEAN muscle

None of these guys are really that big to began with. Muscular yes, but all things considered and I've been saying this forever. The majority of these guys are all under 6 feet averaging 5'6/7, that's not big at all. Levrone, Heath, cutler, all around 5'9 range.

You want to see big look at football players, most would dwarf bbers.

6'5 Peyton manning, cam newton, or Calvin Johnson would make majority of the pros looks small.
