How the fuck aren't his knees shot with that stupid short range shit.

His videos crack me up. The screaming, the moaning, the motivational speeches, and the drama.

I wonder about his range of motion too. When I've seen folks train close to contest time, I've known quite a few people to recommend slowing down and going through the whole range of lotion to really bring out the cuts and detail in the muscle. Phil looks to be poofy...wonder how much Hany has him on. Damn.

He would connect with the audience much better if he owned up to the fact that he's really a dork/cornball who happens to have enormous muscles instead of trying to be mr. Swagtastic pimp

Hands on knees while doing leg press, Weider Cheat Principle of Peace.
Oddly, when he is training arms, he's all in.

As someone had said yrs ago, he was like Flex Wheeler, but with Jay as a guidance counselor. Flex wanted to portray confidence onstage, and Phil at this moment wants to portray the balla.

I am not a fan of his physique at all because it's too big and poofy for my tastes.
A huge fan of shoulders and arms on a man and his are just too much.   When he stops training after the O and downsizes he looks all right but I haven't been a fan of the physiques since the late 90's. Looks bloated and drug induced

he makes it look easy which isnt all bad and I'm sure he trains smarter than the people who went crazy in the gym and fell apart after their careers were over.

Well this persona he's trying to portray looks silly and i think that's the big reason people like trolling him. After 2 minutes I gathered that this guy is an insecure cornball who is trying to portray the big baller shot caller.  i get it he wants a more glamorous image than the bodybuilding world but he's working with some lames right now And it shows with these social media arguments

He looked better when he was just starting out.
And yeah, even back then he made it look easy.

His persona was better yrs ago. As he progressed, and social media got bigger, he got worse. The insecurities. The arguing on social media.
He came on here, last yr or so, and was cool. He had a laid back vibe. But then it's that social media that messes him up---like he is two different people.

Yep. If I had never seen him on social media or at that press conference I wouldn't be able to understand why he gets so much hate.  He certainly takes more time and is way better at connecting with fans than many of the pros I've seen over the years.  He looks people in the eye, he's personable, he talks to them...He's great!  He's a fantastic speaker and really can work the crowd.

But the social media stuff I think is telling off on the fact that he's not very secure and that's dangerous when you're in such a pressure filled position.  I am rooting for him.  I hope he figures it out.

Kai trains legs much harder but still their legs are pretty comparable

I cannot say I am at all impressed with his general style of training.
Though it sure works wonders for him.
And he makes it all look so easy.

Great genetics to responding to all he does.
Training,food,gear, etc.

Can't imagine training that way and wanting people to see it. It's embarrassing. Better to let them at least think you built yourself with hardcore, old-fashioned grit, not this quarter-rep, pansy nonsense.

Worse still is that this is what works for him. Dude's the epitome of 'all genetics/drugs.'

I was just talking about the training techniques I've seen pre contest And how this is really different. Hey I'm rooting for Phil. I just want him to rise above this junior high garbage.

People talked about Shawn too but as I said I couldn't see him engaging the trolls. Even when onlyme and others would go in on him on the boards, it was funny and he didn't appear to get all butthurt and take it seriously.  Side note: I miss those days with onlyme when he would get going on Sean. LOL! Those were some funny times on this board

Uh yeah I got that from Charles glass...thanks. He would teach that people could continue to lift heavy even in prep so that more detail would come out. I've just never seen that kind of quick tempo super short ROM before

It doesn't.

For one thing, low reps are for strength.  

Secondly, it's the heart rate and caloric deficit that you're targeting, not a rep scheme - you could use either.  High reps just easier to get heart rate going.  It really depends on what you're eating and what you want to be capable of after the cutting.  Isn't there research saying that going hell for leather, high heart rate isn't as efficient for fat burning?  

Another consideration is that your body will obviously adapt to the rep scheme you use during the cutting which means if you want to keep your strength as much as possible, you might be better off keeping the reps low.

As for Phil - I think bodybuilding is a pretty boring way to train (but each to their own) but I don't really see the point of him going all out on heavy weight when he is cutting.  Phil is in it for the money and status.  Nobody does quarter reps on leg press for "fun", that's for sure.

I wasn't giving him advice. I was just saying I Hadn't seen someone train like that before pre contest. Phil is an anomaly and as someone who is interested in training methodology I would love to hear their rationale. Most people couldn't train like that and See Phil's response. Training is a highly individualized practice and if it works for him keep doing it

Yup.  I immediately wanted to be more like Phil.  The man's not just a legend, not just a myth but a god.  Not THE God, mind you.  Just one in charge of stuff like PEDs.  But still, a god.
