When do you typically train, and do you try to stick to the same schedule?
I try to train late. I'm doing extra cardio now. Right now I train during the day. I'm assuming I'll be training during the day when I'm in Vegas, so right now I'm trying to get used to that schedule.
That's one thing some people are critical of when they see your videos online—that you don't train crazy or lift heavy like, say, Branch Warren.
Do you think that is accurate?
I think I train hard and heavier than what most people think. I'm not trying to train with massive amounts of weights. I'm also not trying to get hurt. I think if they watched my DVDs and see the pre-online content they'd see more of it. When I'm close to the show I use mostly machines to not get injured. In my offseason, I'll train heavier but I'm trying not to get hurt. I train as smart as I can. I'm not concerned what others think. I do what works for me.
You've successfully avoided major injury in your bodybuilding career. What's the key to not getting injured?
We all have tweaks, but my ability to recover is remarkable. I know my limits and those produce good results. You have to use proper form and good technique.
-
I wonder what his max lifts are. Someone as big as him should at least be able to bench 500+, Deadlift 800, and squat 700-800.
-
Why anyone would risk injury to be strong when you can get better results without it. Worst thing I ever did was lift heavy for years. Give me a weight I can hit for 10-15 reps, high volume, and I don't give a fuck if I am lifting the lightest weights in the gym. The whole hardcore mentality is for kids. If you enjoy it so be it. But training not to get injured, or at least minimize it is the smartest thing you can do. It's about longevity, and looking good, not I lifted this much weight to impress some dumb fuck I don't even care about. He gets injured his whole lively hood is gone.
The reality is you don't have to deadlift or squat, or barbell bench either.

He has a tiny frame. No way he is super strong.
-
Agree with heath... I think lifti g heavy with GOOD form is key....
when you look at branch and johnnie training... :-\ ..bad... very bad
-

he is quite strong actually....
watch his vids....
techinacALLYy in IMO stronger than branch.... simply because branch never does any lift properly
-

so, you are saying that if branch and johnnie used proper form that they would be stronger and get better muscle growth results?
you now more about what works for them than they do

wow you have the IQ of a peanut, always manage to incorporate a lie in your thread title and now you have proven your lack of knowledge as what number are used among bodybuilders. Take a 100 people Phil's size and only a few will pull an 800 and squat 800, those are fucken insane numbers and are world class figures. The bench, well that one you may have gotten right.
-

No way in hell Phil is stronger then Branch. Cmon bro stop exaggerating. With proper form Branch's numbers would not drop that much

Heath is 280 off season. He should be able to pull 800 and squat 700 at that bodyweight with the amount of muscle he has.

most of branch lifts are pure momentum
seated military presses and the guy is standing and leaning back on the bench
-

Ronnie was 270 in The Unbelievable when he pulled 800. Honestly I'm surprised Ron didn't pull more considering how much muscle mass he had.

also branch tore his pecs, biceps and triceps...

And he still can't let go of the ego training

Branch is all momentum, 1/3 reps, bounce, and swing.
-

You'd think he would have learned by now. Drugs don't make you invulnerable to injuries, they just help you build more muscle/stronger tendons so you can lift heavier. Branch used to have an amazing chest but now it looks really bad in some poses, especially most muscular.

Holy shit, I never noticed this before but he has partial tears in both his pecs.
-
Chest used to look great good shale
-
branchs face changed DRAMATICALY.
-
Branch will be vindicated soon
Then everyone will be trying to emulate his training style
-
doesnt matter if hes leaning back a bit, its still all the load on the shoulders, try it yourself.
on the lower part, chest will be involved,yeah, but mid and top range its all shoulders.
as for momentum, well, the momentum didnt fall out of the clear blue sky into the movement, its muscle power behind that.
he dont use proper form, agreed, but so what, it kinda works for him.
just bc when a bench is flat doesnt make it the best natural chest movement for everyone.
same goes for shoulder press, theres no rule for everyone at what angle the lift must happen.
Don't agree....
He isn't standing up fully that would make the move harder
He is have standing half sitting back braced using his lower body to help to jerk the weight up half incline but standing that is bollox
If I used that technique even I could throw 315 up for a rep or 2 and I'm weak on shoulders if I tried to sit properly and do that ... Not gonna happen
Lets see branch sit and actually press the weight properly or stand and do it properly
-
Phil is 100% right
i like to move heavy weight but not if im doing the movement 80% wrong
how can you do a seated military press and your half standing....
or a cable curl and you are literally jumping off the floor....
I see phil stringing sandows togetehr because he is smrt
also i think he is a lot stronger than people think.
-

QFT. That little confused homo is without a doubt the worst poster on this site.

He has a Sandow and will likely get another one Saturday. Who cares how strong he is

He is a bodybuilder not a powerlifter!

whats your point

Dorian didn't squat.

Dorian didn't squat.
Squating is by far the best exercise you can do.....period, although with the right routine leg press can be very nasty as well.
Try leg pressing a weight you can do 20 reps with some difficulty and do it for 50 reps.
Pound out 20 reps with no rest, then lock out and take 3 deep breaths, then 5 more, then lock out 3 deep breaths and 5 more, continue until you get through to 50 reps.
Two sets is all you'll need and walk out of the gym you're done.
I'm all about form, so knees in armpits throughout the set.
my 2 cents
-

You're a fuckturd.
Those numbers are gigantic. Especially the deadlift and squat. Even for a high-level strength athlete. I mean, as is, VERY few powerlifters at the very top can achieve those numbers without lifting/support gear.
Unbelievable ignorance all over this board.
-
Ronnie was 270 in The Unbelievable when he pulled 800. Honestly I'm surprised Ron didn't pull more considering how much muscle mass he had.
You do realize muscle mass is the lesser of the absolute strength equation, right?

Wrong
It's why so many injure themselves when they use anabolic steroids. The muscles become stronger than the connective tissues can handle.
Some of you should start paying those of us with some knowledge, seriously.
-
how is that good form?
that would cause your spine to flex
True that, your spine would certainly flex, but nothing wrong with that, it's made to do so......
-

Yeah, because that only several elite powerlifters can pull in the mid-to-late eights doesn't say anything.
You're plain out to lunch.

Yes high reps for legs is beneficial. However I feel like a pussy if I don't lift heavy.

I don't know where you come from, but where I'm from elite is 900.

Elite is a designation, not "elite" with a small "e".
For some weight classes, an Elite status is much less than, say, 400, even.
Get it straight or don't play, man.
-

Why? Says who?
I'd rather be him than an obese dead powerlifter with fucked elbows and knees. I know BB has a million draw backs, but not destroying your back and other joints as much as power-lifting, and not looking like an obese pig, at least for 12 weeks of the year, are major pluses.

I don't know about any of that, but where I'm from all we do is lift heavy ass weight; no suits or anything fancy, just heavy lifting.
