Looks good at the end when he shows off his arms. Has that near death look to his face.
-
One of the nicest guys in the industry
He's well known in the casting director circle too
-
Every year we anticipate some exciting unveiling, and every year we see the exact same shit as (or often worse than) the year before. Same here, watch.
Not sure how much longer I can front this 'half-full' optimism charade, fellas.
-
One of the most likeable pros
-
Too bad he looks like he's gonna kill himself.
-
Gosh, such light weights and loose style. The only exercise he did strict was the triceps extension with the ropes. Love the convex preacher bench. Larry Scott recommended that because the elbows stay away from the pads.
Wonder what he would look like using my triceps exercise and biceps-supinator? He sure isn't putting his biceps under severe tension for very long in those reps. Short, cheating movements.

... and you looked decent for one year in the fucking 40s.

Seems like a nice guy.

His arms would look exactly the same

Yes, maybe guys like Dennis have reached maximum hypertrophy. My point is that anyone here trying to get bigger wouldn't do so if they trained like he did on the video.
I mean, if you are going to do biceps concentration curls with a 30 pound dumbbell you should try to do a fuller range of movement and keep the muscle under tension longer.
I was using that kind of weight when my arms were not even 16 inches!
-
One of my favorite bodybuilders personality wise, but his genetics just hold him back from the top stop. Lat insertions too high and small calves. Makes him look more narrow from the front.

Well, things like the need for a full ROM and the required TUT for hypertrophy are classic, never ending debates. Look at Ronnie Coleman, he often trained with piss poor rep techniques but he's still the GOAT...
About the weight, his joints are prob fried at this pre contest stage, so why risk an injury?
-
I always cringe seeing the colour, etc. of this guy's mug. He just DOES NOT look well.
If he's gonna pump this close to a contest, I think he'd be better off doing so to his calves.
Seems like a decent enough fellow.
Hope he gets out and salvages whatever he has left of his health before it's too late.

Not necessarily. All relative to the individual. Matarazzo probably had the most ridiculous calves ever, and all he ever did was quarter reps. Just squeezed 'em up top, no stretch at all.
Most of the monsters use incredibly short range of motion. And if it works, why the hell not?
-
If Wolf used Basiles Bicep supination machine, he would have massive arms like Basile.

He's 6 days out from the Mr. Olympia, you stupid moron. Why is he going to be killing himself to do 70 pound concentration curls? He's not going to be putting on any muscle in 6 days.

I don't take kindly to being disrespected at my gym or even on the Internet. So watch what you say to someone who has been there, done the lot. For a guy as big as Dennis I should think he would use somewhat heavier weights. He goes on about his fans but I wasn't impressed and neither should anyone else.

lol
But ome thing you forgot about these pre olympia videos is that they are often just a few weeks from contest and just want to pumpcand not get injured. I have no idea how wolf train in the offseason but can be totally different

Dennis peaked in 2007. Sliding into Palumboism ever since.

Vince what's your "tricep exercise "? Did you post a video?

I must do some videos one day. One of the most effective exercises is what Larry Scott advocated. I made a few triceps machines for our gym.
The updated version has adjustable side pads to keep the elbows from going out to the side.
I even converted a Nautilus Triceps machine so it could be used properly instead of seated.
-
Wolf looks like he's on the verge of Black Death for the past 6 years. Ruhl genetics. Luke Wood looked similar.
If I saw someone doing kickbacks for triceps with that form, I would be laughing. Just goes to show how form means literally nothing compared to drugs and genetics. Wolf actually uses decent weight in general though.
-

Vince should know this. All the work has been done at at this point he's just pumping and maybe burning some calories. He is depleted and his face shows that.

What a silly mousetrap. Lying triceps extensions/pushdowns, all you really need.

That isn't what I saw. He had a young guy assist him to complete some reps. Does that sound like light pumping to you? I am aware of the lead up to contests
but goodness me how is anyone supposed to retain size by using such light weights?
-

I disagree.
It's a bit narrow in its application for even most decent gyms, but I think it is a very good idea.
I own a lot more equipment than Basile, but I could never construct something with my hands so he gets my respect on this.

Is all your gym equipment home made out of box section? if so I bet you saved a fortune, we pay about £12 a length for 6 metre lengths of 50mm section.
Do you make the stacks also? Do they run on linear bearings?

Have you seen his earlier videos where he's pushing some heavy weight? Eight days out is not the time to do that and an assisted burn is not unusual. I think he knows that he is doing he won the Arnold after all.
The worst time to go heavy is while depleted.

What kind of nonsense is this? I have been bodybuilding since 1958. I have a clue about what the champs do. I am not suggesting he go 'heavy' but using such light weights was a surprise to me.
Ronnie Coleman used super heavy weights and got injured. So, yes, stay in the safe zone. However, why use those light weights in a video to show his fans? Disappointing.

When someone has to go to such non-natural lengths to work out his body, it's no longer useful.

I just do those standing and leaning forward with a v-bar attatchment.
Good exercise.

walter you make a great point- i remember a interview with yates after he retired he said he would never train as heavy as he did, in precontest mode if he had a chance to do it all over again.
theres alot of morons on here who think training heavy all the time is the way to go.

When training natural heavy works best for me.
It's like war. Grow or die.
-
i used to train super heavy to, mike mentzer dorian yates style
injured my shoulder very bad, bicep injury as well
i will never train that way again, i could give two fucks about being strongest guy in the gym
-
Vince, since your machines are so superior please post some pictures of members who have obtained world class arms at your gym.
I won't hold my breath.

those fans can't look for his offseason training videos?
he should risk getting injured because his fans are too lazy to watch his training videos during his growth phase (of which he has a ton) or too dumb to realise he is on extremely low calories close to a contest, has a depleted energy stores and is not going to grow any muscle during this period??
also heard you mention full ROM,
maybe research training in target zones where injury response (micro-tears > hypertrophy) is greatest as well as turnaround point of rep generating most force thus recruiting most motor units only in the target zone, reduced at full stretch or full ROM.
also benefits of stretch overload combined with the above.
full ROM is one of the biggest myths in bodybuilding.
can effectively grow muscle without full ROM and maybe more ideal even.

I was using that kind of weight when my arms were not even 16 inches!
These guys are so depleted close to a contest they are lucky that they can lift anything.
-
He's not using light weights, just right for him, it's all about stimulating and pumping the blood... Yeah, the form isn't maybe super perfect, but if he's feeling the muscle it's all good... This heavy weight training mania is useless and stupid for bodybuilding, in my opinion...
-

Exactly. Reinventing the wheel is all, think Haney once addressed this.

All his machines are bullshit, so is his theory of hypertrophy.
This is the moron discussing bodybuilding. Hes lucky he rigged the Mr. Canada by picking his own judges.

wolf has it the best of all pros think about it guys
his wife is rich, all wolf has to do is train and do his roids. diet etc he dont even have to suck big cocks like kai and phil heath has to , hell he doesnt even have to start a shitt supplement company to pay his bills . he is under no pressure at all to even win.
the guy has it made.

How is his wife rich?
-
i think she inherited it,
but wolf probably has more money than any pro competing
-
Wolf looks very depleted. Kinda flat...
-
he is a huge aryan bastard royalty
but man his wife is ugly i wonder if he pretends she is someone else when he is laying the wolf pipe to her .
-
he is a huge Caucasian bastard royalty
I know. Big & wide.
I just hope that he carbs up right.
-
royalty it has always baffled me why they didnt give wolf the olympia
he has the look , and would appeal to more people than say a gay weirdo like kai green who wears gay ass spandex pants to work out in
and that goofy mask he likes , and a whiny lile 5-4 bitch like phi heath who has no fucking fans at all.

This. Every video I've seen with Wolf he's acting professional, dressed properly for the gym, not talking about gossip. Kai's dressed for a dominatrix party, Phil's bitching about the haters and why he's the greatest.
-
it really is baffling kh
its not like fans would be pissed that wolf won, phil heath is a piece of shit
and i am very convinced that him and kai get butt fucked by all the judges and there friends before the olympia

not too far off i guess.
-
yes qb you are right
since wolf is rich he dont have to suck cocks and get butt fucked
so basically he will never win the olympia
-
I like the Hammer Curls he does. What's good about them is that you can lock your shoulders in place, as opposed to the supinating curls which can bother the rotators.

Dennis Wolf is a true professional and a great competitor

hammers work the brachialis, brachii long head - outer bicep
supinated curls work the brachii short head - inner bicep
work two different parts of the muscle so not sure you can compare them.
hammers aren't opposed to supinated curls, they're in addition to them to work another part of the muscle.
to work the short head you need some form of supination, the more pinky finger is heightened and thumb lowered the more you target the short head.

Good for you Vince. As long as someone appreciates your work, even if it is just yourself, it is worth it.
-
He's a true professional. No dirt on him, humble, doesn't flash materialistic items, not a diva, etc.. I doubt he'll ever be awarded 1st place, but I wish it would happen.
-
Whatever the debate about form, he's clearly getting a good pump by the end - pretty vascular...

So you invented the hack squat now?

I used to watch videos of the pros near show time and get annoyed on the easy weight there were doing. That was before i knew anything about bodybuilding.
-
yes qb you are right
since wolf is rich he dont have to suck cocks and get butt fucked
so basically he will never win the olympia
a friend of mine who was out in cali and was around all the big name pros (he was a top ranked bench press specialist) told me that guys like sonny schmidt and charles clairmont and others who were top notch guys in the 90s didn't win shows coz they didn't do sexual favors for the judges and for a certain big wig who passed some years ago
when i asked him is that really true, he just laughed in my face and said "come on dude, don't be so fucking naive"
