Super-intense Off Season workout !!

These definitions are all inter-related. The muscles know resistance. You increase resistance by adding weight. To overcome the increased resistance you recruit more fibers by sending stronger signals to the working muscles via intensity.

You think thats the only way you do it?

Many gymnasts have never touched a weight but have better arms than most bodybuilders

Looks like hes been to the Liam Neeson pissholding class


Vince never pushed huge weights

Great, so we agree, you make the muscle work harder by using form which will create the most stress on the muscle itself

Do you think if you keep adding weight you will just get bigger and bigger?

Your genetics limit your growth, its not how much weight you lift

never said everyone could get big but you yourself (meaning anyone) will only get bigger my using more weight in good form

using me as an example i'm pretty sure i'll never be able to bench 315 for 10 no matter what i do as genetics determine end str but to get as big as you yourself can get you must lift as much weight as possible in good form

and no you can't keep adding weight as your genes won't allow it, i might be able to get 300 for 6 paused reps but that's probably my end limit but i won't know til i try

alright let's take one those gymnasts and have him do barbells skulls for 10 reps til failure and then lets say its 120 for 10 reps and then lets get him to add 100 pounds to that 10 rep max effort, so his tri won't be any bigger

I have better legs than a lot of guys in the gym 30 years younger than me and some who squat 500lb

Hows that work?

not if his arms have maxed out already

What part of genetic limit do you not understand?

we have both been roughly the same size for the last 10 years on here, why do you think that is?

They do mainly bodyweight work but they’re working against a lot of resistance doing chin up type moves.

They don’t seem to have the same development in their legs.

they dont do much resistance work on their legs apart from sprinting

They get big muscles doing resistance work but they dont increase poundages while doing it, they get the size through consistant repetition
There arms get to a certain size then stop, just like your muscles do when weight training no matter how much weight you use

Platz has always said it’s about the reps. A lot of low rep high poundage lifters don’t get enough volume for maximum development. Plus once you get to very low reps, other muscles start to share the workload, with squats, the lower back.

Muscles only stretch, they dont add tissue, its impossible unless you have hyperplasia and thats not good

What better way to make muscles bigger than by pumping them full of blood and stretching them

i'm not bigger because my diet is shit and i over train ie. training 6 days a week

if i can stay on a 1 on 1 off schedule and not waver and eat beef, chicken, rice, potatoes which is basically a hybrid of the vertical diet with a justin harris influnce as he says all that is needed is chicken beef rice and potatoes with carb cycling but i wont carb cycle

but the key for me is to stay the course and not jump back into 6 days a week training, as the one on one off will allow me to increase training loads

as far as the gymnast goes yeah if his 10 rep max only goes up 10-20 then no he won't add size but if he could add 100 pounds to his 10 rep skull his tris will be larger

If you have ben training for 10 years and your arms are 18 inches they are not going to be 20 no matter how much you lift

Come on dj, you are not only the size you are because you dont carb cycle  or overtrain FFS

Agree

Seems like the guys who maintain their physiques the best are the “Pumper” type lifters. They keep the  reps in the 10-15 range and don’t get too crazy.
