I like him, but the information is kinda of useless, especially to lifetime naturals who have maxxed out their physiques.
Its makes no difference really what exercises you do to get there. No idea why any of this information is relevant once you reach this point.
-
He is just trying to sell his product in reality.
I am sure if he did those exercises and just did normal shit in the gym, he would look the exact same. All of his advice is not any better really than anyone elses at all. In other words, its not going to produce extraordinary results. It did not/has not for him, why would it for anyone else? ???

He is also coming from the position of being a physical therapist. So he sees the injuries and or the results of either these exercises or helping people who have had shoulder, back, hip, etc surgery.

I don't think it makes that big of a difference. If you have pain in doing an exercise, just find something that does not give you pain. Its really as simple as that.
No need to buy or listen to his "programs".

It's not about the pain per se, but about what many of these exercises can set you up for. He even said, just because you don't have problems now, doesn't mean you will not have problems later.Look at the BNP. Bodybuilders swear by it, but as he showed in one vid (I didn't post it, he is using a skeleton model) that the movement sets you up for failure and puts a certain muscle at a weak point. Basically setting up the person for issues down the road.
-
He's only got a doctorate of pt, what the fuck does he know?
-
I agree with everything he said. However, I've trained for 31 years and I've never had any problems with flyes or leg extensions.
-
I like machine flies and cable flies.
Dumbbell flies always feel like there's not much load on my pecs (no homo) for the top half or so of the ROM.

How does this guy have over 1 million subscribers. Anyone who has been to the gym for a month knows the stuff he makes videos on.

Check the rest of his vids and you see why. Also, just because one goes to the gym, doesn't mean that they know. There are plenty of clueless people who have gone to the gym for years, and make little to no gains. There have been plenty of threads on here about these people.
Also, he is refreshing to listen to, especially when compared to all the "wanna get your attention", "call you out" types. And unlike Jason Blaha, dude actually looks like like he works out.

That's for sure. :)

I was going to do upright rows tomorrow and they're one of the exercises listed. I attribute some my trap development over the past 2 years to them... I like to do them with a narrowish grip. I usually do higher reps like 12-15 really focusing on squeezing the traps BUT NOW I'm second guessing...
-
i dont see anything wrong with flyes if done properly.
i never had an injury from them.
that being said i like his videos. he is in great shape
-
Hound dawg only dissin' upright rows cause he aint hittin' 5 plates a side like me.

I stopped doing upright rows years ago because they hurt my wrists. But, what's funny is that I get a pump in my traps when doing side laterals.

I won't get a full-on pump from side laterals in my traps but when I'm doing them seated especially, blood for sure gets in there. I try not to do shrugs in the low rep range just because they push so much on my spine. It's like pick your poison lol.
-
I have been doing all of those except good mornings for over 20 years. I have more muscle (natty) than him and I have never been injured. I will do all those tommorow because he says not to.

Actually he never said "not to" for some of those exercises. He said that many perform them incorrectly. But, the Behind the neck press he has explained why it is terrible.

Everytime one of my knees starts to bother me I'll throw in some extra sets of leg extensions. Works like a charm

If you talk to a kinesiologist, they would agree with you here. They'd say the pecs work the first 2/3rd of what a full rep is. I find the pecs contract anyway the top part and never understood how biomechanics prove me wrong when I feel the muscle anyway.

Teeth need work

Tilt your head back and look up the next time you do side laterals, will keep the traps from working too much.

I used to have trouble with side laterals. I started doing them with a cable and letting the cable pull my delt a little at the bottom of the movement. It helped me learn how to use my delts better. Now dumbells work well for me.

posted a few of his videos myself. He talks a lot of sense. However one mans meat is another mans poison.

Thanks, I will try that.
I believe that after looking Ronnie Coleman and his disintegrating body, that training smarter, not harder is better way. He knows of no other way--to train hard with heavy weights, and now he's had umpteen back surgeries, fused lower back, both hips replaced, arms shrunk, torn tricep, lat...and older guys like Vince Taylor still look good.
And so, I had just stumbled onto this guy's vids. He makes sense, and he is a PT, so he has to deal with people who are like Ronnie---operations on arms, shoulders, hips, back.

Right and wrong don't change.
The internet lets everyone feel like they're an expert so his Doctorate and additional training on a subject matter makes people feel uncomfortable. :)

OK he is selling his training principles etc but his videos in my opinion are top notch. Most will say just lift from a to b and keep it simple but to avoid injuries and for results if you are not coming forward in your training then i think give his ideas a try. Integrate some things in your training. He even talks about "offset" Dumbbells in an arm training video.. Reeves did this ;)
-
Flyes are the cornerstone of my chest workout............great exercise if done correctly with heavy bells and good form.
Upright Rows should be done with a wide grip elbows high to lower pec line and strictly for side delt development.....shrugs are for traps along with rowing of any kind and various other shit! :D
I do my laterals behind the back.....much better stretch and ROM.........my delts are one of my few good bodybparts.

I do them light and strict for more volume after main heavy sets of military presses, for fuller rounder shoulders no excercise comes close inho mine go as flat as a japs face if I stop the behind neck presses for a while
-
I still do behind the neck presses but I don't go heavy.
-
Screw this tool...there are no "bad" exercises just as there are no "bad foods"...only fools who don't know how to use proper form....

Gotcha ...we have a Trainer who does them on the smith machine and Heavy. I think what you do is sensible. Mind you he has been doing them for years and says he has no problems. still i´ll stick to front press myself.

Did you even watch the vid? He explained certain things. And many exercises of done right are good. I even posted the vid of him explaining the reason why he says Behind the necks are bad, and he uses a model. He backs up what he says, he is not engaging in "bro science". He sees the end results and deals with athletes. Yet, people want to get at him and call him a tool, when he trying to help lifters.

he probably never even watched it or did not understand it. This is getbig ;D I agree though the man is good at explaining it all in simple terms. Remember i posted the video on the Training section. I agree fully with him.

I think structure and flexibility also play a part into how some lads can do it with no shoulder problems and others cannot, I've seen guys so tight they cannot even hold a broomstick behind the neck in the bottom position, I can imagine if they forced a weighted barbell there it would destroy their shoulders in no time.
I do them slow with a pause at the neck and stop at the signs of form breakdown not failure or anywhere near
-
Lol him calling himself a Dr. Your a trainer bro not a real Dr. What's next, my dentist wants me to call him Dr.?

yes true, i have done alternate front and back presses..forget the name of the exercise. Just clearing the top of your head when going front to back. keeps continuous tension on the whole shoulder area. I could not go heavy on these but still got a good effect.

Are physical therapists called doctors?
They can be called “doctor” if they have earned a DPT degree (doctorate in physical therapy), but they are not medical doctors (MDs), that is, physicians. Most physical therapists do not use the title “doctor” because it can confuse patients.
Sorry that you got confused, butthole eyes.
-
I'm not confused. He called himself Dr. He's not a Dr. He's a personal trainer.
-

So, if he has a doctorate in physical therapy, then he is not a medical doctor. But, he can be called "doctor", just like a professor who has their doctorate.
And so, he is physical therapist, not necessarily a personal trainer.

In the UK you have to go to Uni to study Physiotherapy and you get a Degree. I wanted to do this myself here in Germany but they have a "Berufsbildende schule" for this and it is 3 years. I was accepted into 3 schools after entrance exams but it was just too expensive at the time. I then learned Sport Administrator which is also 3 years. A Physiotherapist is definitely not a Fitness Trainer.. far from it !

It's like when I poured concrete for a living I could tell people I was an environmental materials engineer.
Dr.s don't teach people how to do push-ups.

When you earn your PhD in ANY field, you are considered a doctor.

Real Dr.s fix real problems.

thats a simple answer..some people can do anything and grow, others, everything and not grow.
what you wrote suggests that you should only listen to mr olympia.
the problem with BB is that people think that big dudes know something. THATS the issue right there. more often than not, they know the least.

don't mind adonis, he thinks he knows everything
dude in the video has some solid advice and knows what he's talking about unlike other youtube homos like rich piana etc
-

Nobody says he needs big legs. But the guy is shirtless in almost all his video's. And always in pants(no homo). Something tells me he's very insecure about his legs. Because he certainly isn't about his upperbody...

Maybe don't know but I think he gives good advice and ideas.

I've watched a few vids and he gives great advices, I would have loved to watch these when I started out

When I was in my 20s I could do upright rows and behind the neck presses unlimited with no problems. Now, in my 40s I get pain after two workouts with any of these exercises. Some injuries and joint wear are cumulative. You don't notice how deleterious they are until the damage has been done. His "advices" are sound :)

yes me too. Good that people today are getting wiser about certain old school exercises and doing a tailored workout for their Body and not because Bodybuilder X shows them.
