Layne Norton discusses fast vs. slow cardio

[Rami]

What's more impressive to me about it is WANTING to squat 700lbs, doing all the training required to achieve it. There has to be some strong motivators for somebody to go through with it.  What can you do with the knowledge you have squatted that number of lbs.

Is it just about adding credentials to your career as a personal trainer? Does Layne see him self as some kind of Oracle or learned elder of our time?

layne has said many times if you have similar genetics to him he can get you to squat 500-600 all natural

hes said "if you have sligtly worse genetics than me i can get you to squat 400-500"

lastly "if you have horrible genetics i can get you to squat 400 for 3 reps all the way down"

Correct, who gives shit if you can squat 700lbs?
I have better legs than a lot of guys who squat massive poundages and I dont even squat.

All that effort and risk to your back for fuck all.

that's interesting, I wonder how it would be to just blindly follow someones information, the final 100lbs must have been from fight or flight triggering motivational factors.

I'm sure I could role play myself in to that motivational mind set as well, but I would also think I will probably slip a disc and end up having problems for it.

so what's your theory on muscle growth? you don't buy the concept of progressive tension overload, right?

[ukjeff]

you don't buy the concept of progressive tension overload, right?

Muscles don't know weight, they only know failure.

Thats my philosophy in a nutshell

[deadz]

Lame Nonothing still trying to squeeze every dime he can out of this pathetic industry. Probably got his Phd online.

[Rami]

How come Layne doesn't have gold medals in Olympic weightlifting by now?

Obviously have through he research found out how to increase the effectiveness of muscle cell contraction.

Can someone talk me through what goes on in a muscle cell as it receives a signal to contract? Where does the cell derive this force from? What process in the cell give rise to physical torque of the muscle cell membrane?  Maybe he as altered this process and not telling this to anyone, by eating green peas and potatoes?

Exactly. Muscle doesnt doesnt know if it's 1000 pounds or 25 pounds just the tension and contraction Unless you just want to be powerlifter throwing up numbers but hey to each there own. Increasing weight poundage of course will produce more muscle.

Any more Fartlek for the old Fart?

shut up Ball Bag..

[anabolichalo]

Stand on the chair you're currently sitting in; only then will you have an idea of what it's like to be the Falcon 24/7, and thus an idea of the difficulty of full squats at such a height.

how tall is that guy

it's amazing how somebody that tall could still build such thick ripped arms naturally

genetics of the gods

I'd rather hear him talk about Alvisi banging his old lady?  He's never addressed that as far as I know.

keep good diet & higher reps training such as squats, you can have an ideal blood pressure too.

yes but what about the thickening of the heart etc from weightlifting

Unavoidable, my dad was an athlete while younger and in the army. His heart is enlarged. Never juiced. Anyone who does anything athletic will inadvertently enlarge their heart unless they're a twink marathon runner.
