Wolf never claimed to be an intense trainer, he's smart about it. If you want to be in it for the long haul then playing it safe is what needs to be done. Their entire livelyhood is based off of one show a year (for some of them) how would training like a maniac and tearing a muscle effect them? It would completely fuck some of these guys. Branch has multiple tears and a physique that looks like playdough put through a meat grinder, Dorian had multiple tears towards the end of his career, Coleman had tears and supposed nerve damage.
Being two weeks out from the Olympia and training like this is the smart way to do it. Yea, Coleman deadlifted 800lbs 2 weeks out, but Coleman is a freak of nature and isn't from this planet.
