Chris Cormier - You havent trained hard before this???

[Bobby]

throwing up = loss of nutrients = bad = not "harcore" or "cool"

alleviate, don't deviate

[Parker]

Yes but obviously Chris just wasn't used to that type of training, and it was a shock to his CNR as well as his muscles, training at that intensity all the time wouldn't make you throw up each workout lol

Chris hasn't trained in yrs, this is the same man that was doing 695 pound sqauts, and was known for his pressing power. How soon you guys forget. People didn't want to train with him, and guess who his training partners were back in the early 90's? Flex and Rico. So if they could hang with Chris, it kinda dispells the rumor that Flex was lazy, at least when he was a amatuer.

[jaejonna]

Agreed 100%

Train smarter, not harder

wise words

[MCWAY]

This has more to do with fans of Dorian Yates and their assertion that any who don't train like him are "lazy".

[kyomu]

Training for the Ironman after being off for so long is definately a shock to his or anyone's system.  Hopefully, we will see Chris Cormier at the Ironman in great shape.

I dont think so.
He wont do well anymore because of his muscle tear.

Chis was hardcore when he was younger ! just remember muscle memory

I believe you wrote several articles, back in 2002 (I believe), that when it came to this "hardcore" training, you were a competitor who'd been there and done that. And, you had the injuries to prove it.

It was the "Squats Suck" article in IronMan, the "Butchering Sacred Cows" article in FLEX, and a similar article in MuscleMag (the name of which escapes me at this time).

You are correct sir!

Concerning this notion that throwing up is some indication of a "good" workout...it has more to do with what you wrote in another post...breathing... and motion. If you notice, people can beat theselves into the ground training anything BUT legs...and generally wont throw up afterwards...the combination of extremely heavy weight/ breathing or lack of), and the up and down motion of squats/ hacks...will all tend to put you into tossing your protein powder, mode.

Why this is thought of as some sort of badge of honor is beyond me....

because meatheads are generally fags who try to impress other dudes in the gym like fags

intelligent bodybuilders use the gym and lifting as part of the process of refining or building the body to achieve an end result

intelligent bodybuilders train intelligently and safe so they avoid injury and stay consistent and be productive

[pellius]

Talking about yourself there I feel gypsy

What's pathetic is that this greasy Down's syndrome lookalike truly believes he looks better and is in better shape than the great Taka.

And the hardest this low life gypsy has ever exerted himself was when he was watching kiddie porn and having a mutual jack off session with his boyfuking mentor Stewart Swerdlow.

Bob, Can you do me a favor?

Can you post a pic of the most shredded hard grnite physique of yours?(No homo, of course)

[disco_stu]

Funny thing is they are only doing one work set Per exercise. Not even very challenging.

you're obviously one of those who think that several, non max sets is harder than one all out set.

i guarantee that you've never trained hard in your life.

until you've experienced what an all out set is, you are not qualified to comment. so shut up.

if you can do more than one all out set, then you didnt go all out. thats how you can tell.

do you need some more help with this?

Um, kyomu? I'm gonna go ahead and call you on the above 'no homo.'  I think you're bluffing.

i generally train 3 sets each exercise. Every one of those to absolute failure. If you feel that it's only possible for one set then you are a huge pussy

I have to admit I've been struggling with that. I used to only think of weight training as means to build bigger muscles but nowadays I'm interested in the mental challenge those weights poses even though going balls to wall doesn't necessarily mean better muscle growth.

Good post. I train this way. It takes yrs and yrs to generate the mental focus to put everything you have into one allout set. Novices and intermediate lifters who try this technique and feel like that they have more left for another set is because they arent channeling everything into that one set. Disco Stu you are obviously incredibly jacked and strong as well.

One thing I've noticed when I workout is that pretty much all the muscles except for the legs fail before it gets physically(and mentally) uncomfortable. Doing leg presses or hack squats is what gets to me the most... almost scary how hard you can potentially push yourself, a lot of pain barriers to break. But dumbbell presses, lat pull downs etc never affect me that much.

Yeah legs are the one bodypart where the allout set doesnt really apply, at least in my opinion. I know what you are saying it seems like if you can take the pain you can keep pushing out reps. And the legs are used to such high indurance activity from walking constantly it takes more to fatigue them.
