Ever seen a pro train? No, Seriously....
« on: October 04, 2007, 12:41:28 PM »
wtf is up with MOST of these guys? They look insane but at the same time they look like they are half asleep. Dont get me wrong there are a lot of pros that work very hard and normally those are the guys that place well.. but some of them....I just cant believe how lazy it seems they are while working out.

Last person I saw.. . was Garrett Downing... I swear the dude looked like he was was just waking up to go brush his teeth.. NO INTENSITY what so ever.. damn good arms though.. which is actually common with most pros... the most noticeable thing to me is incredibly developed arms...

look at this video of victor martinez.. wtf.. lol its like as soon as it starts to hurt he stops...and this is with pretty much every vid ive seen of him..




THAT vs this...

...EFFORT..



Turn off the stupid music and just look at the momentum of the weight. Yelling and grunting is different than trying hard.... makes sense to me if its a giant set aka milos style and they arent going all out on every set but.... most of these guys do a set then walk around for a very long time and rest before the next one  :-\

a lot of people (pro or not) rarely train till failure so they can train a bodypart 2-3 times a week

shame they don't give out bodybuilding awards based on how hard you train... then dillet or wheeler wouldn't have even won a local show.

In general a lot of people mistake straining for training
you see it so often..a guy struggles with a weight for a few crappy reps instead of trying to maximize hypertrophy by using proper form and a good number of reps

..going to failure is overrated.
Here comes the money shot

I saw Branch train 3 years ago and he didn't even break a sweat. This was at a 24 hour fitness and right after a show so maybe he was going easy? Not sure, but in his unchained video he trains harder than 90% of the pro's out there.

the biggest waste of time is trying to prove how "hardcore" you are by doing excessively intense workouts. who said stimulate don't annihilate?

so true I saw dillet training for his comeback about a year ago. boy was that the worst workout ive ever seen. he practically did a set every three minutes or more and just stood there chewing on his towel and checking out the bitches

Damn straight.  The best way to prove how hardcore you are is to shadowbox in the corner wearing a wifebeater and skullcap.

i saw a jr. Nationals level guy at our gym do 5 reps below his chin with 315 on seated barbell presses and while he was training a girl in between her sets he ran to the db rack and did a set of 6 with 145 pound db's on inclines, he did that 6 times.

I've seen many at the World's gym in PB.  They are simply Huge.  Photos do not do them justice. The only thing I find odd is that they lift such light weights and workout real fast.  The reason why most seem dopey is that they smoke up before working out.  It allows you to push harder without feeling the pain.

That's sick.

I guess when you're that big and geared up you don't even need a plan of attack. Just lift heavy shit and you grow

yeah he's a strong bastard especially on shoulders, i've seen him press a pair of 150's for a few reps as well, goofy guy though, stops juicing and doesn't even train and shrinks big time, nicest guy you'll ever meet.

lmfao... weight is light but that doesnt matter so much...whats really weird is that there is no STRUGGLE.. and hes doing back then lifts up his shirt to check his abs?    ???

that is the weirdest thing.. almost like he is there to show off his physique instead of train for a contest.

i dont know what drug you are refering to...but back in my pot-head days i would smoke a blunt before the gym almost everyday...   the one positive thing it did for me was create a HUGE mind muscle connection. before i worked out high...i could never isolate my chest or back to any type of degree. i was always using front delts when trying to workout chest, and always using biceps for my back....training blown gave me the ability to almost COMPLETELY isolate the chest and back muscle groups. 


...one thing about back is, good form, looks like sloppy form. you always see top pros using lots of momentum and sway when working out their backs...and many of your criticize their form; but in reality, the best way to fully isolate your lats is to get a good rythmic sway during your reps.
