solid lifts, especially considering you arent "huge" ...i was most impressed with your dips
i dont like the way you eccentuate the finish of your deadlifts and the way you do your rows doesnt seem to be using a whole lotta lats ... but both are quite impressive nonetheless
-
I didn't watch all the clips but you seem to be in good shape. When doing rows I would use a wider grip which would give you more thickness in your mid back. You don't train legs do ya? :-\
-
yeah i train legs...
but like i already said i sed to pound upperbody way before i ever took leg trainin serious..
i will peel my leg and chest trainin of the cam corder and post em soon...
but hell yes i do train legs... and hard.
-
You should bend down more when doing rows, you're cheating that way.
Other than that, good form and impressive strength.
-
the dips were very impressive to me as well (you're very strong on the others as well)
how much do you weigh? and how tall?
-
thanks man
the dips was the last excercise we did that day i usually get 10 with those plates...
im 5'11
and i weigh exactly 190
.. ima post my chest workout ..dumbell and barbells sometime this week
-
Good strength, well above average for a recreational lifter. You need more mass in the triceps long head (overhead dumbbell extensions and seated french presses are good for that) and delts could use a little more work. Great biceps and abs. How about wheels?
-
i pound my tris hard... they are very seperated.. and hard but high inserted i think... i do 160 dumbell tris extensions.. 10 reps.... and i do a lot of seated frech press and... lying skull crushers... my legs are small in comparison to my upperbody... because i never used to train legs but they are strong...
-

the best backs of all-time dont bend over very far doing rows ;)
-
lookin good.
-

Yea but they're on steroids.

Yea but they're on steroids.
You're a fucking moron.
Mes, your barbell rows are just fine. Good poundages too.
-
oi relax... lol when im bending over at like 45 degrees i feel it in my lats and back HEAPS. depends how heavy im goin tho.
-
.. thx monster...
-
brilliant vids, v motivational, u have def inspired me to start trainin my biceps now lol. how old r u?
-
thx goudy
-
sorry how old old u?
-
just turned 26
-
You started training at 22?
-
Yea but they're on steroids.
what the fuck does that have to do with it ???
-
yeah...
late starter....
but i was always athletic... soccer.. athletics .. etc etc
-
Awesome! You look deceivingly small until the shirt comes off. Awesome separation, size, density, shape, etc. Pecs, arms, traps are MONSTER! Just learn how to pose better & bring up your lats. Great job...
-
what the f**k does that have to do with it ???
That mean you can get away with cheating when on drugs. You don't need as much stimulus to grow on drugs.

@mindspin
thx for the complement man...
i have a very thick back .. probably cant be seen from the video... but lat width i think needs to be improved...
thing is im a religeuos chinner... i chin at the beginning and the end of my back workout.... i do em weighted
what excercises do you think gives optimum lat width....i do bout under hand and over hand bb rows as well. but bb rows mainly target thickness
gimme a workout that u think will taget lat width exclusively.
this is not to say i dont know how to work out... but i always like to learn new combinations of excercises....
-
How many sets do you do meso per exercise and how many exercises?
Also aren't you an ectomorph??
-
no im not a ectomorph..
i do as many sets as it takes to obliterate the muscle...
... im a volume trainer...
i did back yesterday...
it was
4 sets of chins
4 sets of deads
4 sets of barbell rows
3 sets of tbar rows
4 sets cable rows
3 sets machine rows
2 sets weighted chins
2 sets regular chins
-
how's that sauce doing for ya
-
the only sauce i like is ketchup...
goes great with my rice and peas and chicken...
yes.. but if ur talkin steroids....
no...
i have never.. and will never....
i dont even belive in supplements..
i have been treated to protein shakes by various people i train with after a session...
thats as far as it goes
-
i dont even belive in supplements..
They exist!!!
...
High volume is working for you but I do better doing much fewer sets.
-
a lot of people believe in low volume trainin because they cant hack high volumn training... as well as in truth some make better gains that way...
...
me i want to feel that muscle hurtin the next day....
high volumn trainin i find gives u "QUALITY" muscle high probaby keeps keeps me lean as well tho i have always been lean..
low volumn trainin does zilch for me...
-
a lot of people believe in low volume trainin because they cant hack high volumn training... as well as in truth some make better gains that way...
...
Well I used to do high volume training but I would get to sticking points too often.
Also my joints would get damaged (tendinitis) every so often. With less sets this doesn't happen and I am making gains faster.
It's working for you so that's all good.
-
i cant see them...says error reading codec
-
go to http://www.xvidmovies.com/codec/ and download the xvid codec for windows.. takes under a minute....
*******
@bast
For could be a factor in you getting tendonitis...not actually high volum trainin...
i only het each body part once every week so when i hit it... i have to destroy it.... not only do i get musclular gains... but... strength... and lots of stamina... i train lots of people into the ground... cause i can keep goin on.. and on...
...
give me an exapmle of what u would classify as a low volum session...
for say tri's
-
aahhh right then.
great chest+ traps. makes for a great beach body.
-
give me an exapmle of what u would classify as a low volum session...
for say tri's
Here's what I do for tris:
Overhead Standing Barbell extensions: 2 warm up sets, 2 heavy sets to failure (I did 135lbs for 9 reps yesterday for the heaviest set)
Weighed Dips: 1 set 90lbs to failure, 5-6 reps maybe
1 arm dumbell extensions with 50lbs dumbell. (5 reps)
That's it.
-
on preacher curls let our arms go al the way down...the pad in your armpit. dont rock either. makes for a better contraction + shape. youlll need to use lighter weight on it .
-
no i vary how i do preacher i can pste another clip of me doin them like u said .... with my head down and the bar goin over my head.. on that particular day i was nusrin an injury .. my left arm.. that is not heavy weight to me.. on preachers
thx for the compiment man..

cable curls
two arm dumbell extensions 4 sets
standin barbell curl 4 sets

24 Sets. How many are warm up, any?
-
Also, Meso. I train each muscle every 4 days, not every 7 as you do.
-
1 warm up... pressdowns and cable curls supersetted...
..yes i pyramid up in weight ...
all sets to failure...
..
whats ur split... that allows you to train each group every 4 days?
-
Legs and Shoulders, calves
Back, biceps, calves
Chest and Triceps.
3 day split, and I'll train 4-5 days a week. (sometimes It may be 5 days between training the same muscle)
-
i used to group bodyparts like that....
but now for eg when i do legs.. there is no way im gonna do shoulders after....
all i want to do after is throw up...
but ocassionally like maybe once a month i will work tris with chest and back with bis..
but usually arms has its own day..
-
Legs and Shoulders, calves
Back, biceps, calves
Chest and Triceps.
3 day split, and I'll train 4-5 days a week. (sometimes It may be 5 days between training the same muscle)
why not rain more often ...say every day...and have smaller groupings. that way they get hit the same amount pre day, but you will hvae more energy to hit the muscles when you do.
my split right now is five day repeating no rest days.....consisting of legs, chest and hams, arms, shoulders and traps, back.
-
@candidate
i do train everyday mon to fri weekend off
Monday Chest and abs
Tuesday Back
Wednesday Legs
Thursday Shoulders and Traps
Friday Triceps and biceps

Yea I used to do that same split. It definately works, but what I'm doing now if working better for me personally.
-
you hit calves 2 times a week
... weak spot?
-
Yea calves are a weak spot but they're getting better training with low reps.
-
calves are a usual weakspot..
specially for black guys
-

I'm italian. Are calves usually weak for italians?? Definately not for Matarazzo.
-
naw white guys have big calves even without trainin them
-
naw white guys have big calves even without trainin them
I think it depends on your body type mostly. Endomorphs have big calves usually.
Ectos do not!
-
you hit calves 2 times a week
... weak spot?
i do calves every other day..and im white.
not that they are a weak part...but i feel that calves cant be too big, especially with my quads.
-
true calves can never be too big...
calves wise... my genes s on the short side
-
How many sets do you do meso per exercise and how many exercises?
Also aren't you an ectomorph??
He's probably an ecto-mesomorph. It's very rare you find classic mesomorphs. I myself am probably and endo-meso.
-
Yea he said he eats a lot of fast food and stays really lean. That's certainly an ecto trait.
-
just a high metabolism....
i say im meso because ive always been muscular ..
and i make good gains...
quality gains..
no fat water muscle...
hard dense muscle
-
the only sauce i like is ketchup...

yes.. but if ur talkin steroids....
no...
i have never.. and will never....

in that case, you have freaky genetics 8)

lol...
thx for the shout out man

So are up to 4 wheels on the bench?
-
tried on my final set of bench on monday got it 3 quaters may up... but was taking long to lock it out and
well the guy touched my bar...
so i dont count that
in my eyes.. whch was the last time i tried for a single
so my best bench to date still stands at 374
thre 20 kg and a 15kg plate on eachside
try again next chest session
-

You should be capable of 405 if you can do 315 for 8...next time go for it...w/o pyramiding up so you're not fatigued. 375 is still a good lift though.
-
my set was
225 for about 15
315 for 8
352 for 3
then i tried the 405..
note everything felt heavy from the first set.. you know you have those workout days... when ur not on ur peak
was one of those days
-

I hear you man, I get days like with little sleep. Next time, try pyramiding like this:
135 x10
225 x 8
315 x 6
365 x 2
405 x 1
That way, you'll still have strength when going for it. by the way, what's up with numbers like 352, 374? Are the plates off or something?
-
naw regular york or weider plates...
we use kg over here so thats just the rough conversion...
...
mmmm i always go all sets to failure or close..i dont count reps.... i go by feel...
i only know how many reps i do because i ask... or on this ocasion because i recorded it
that pyramid sceme u just gave wouldnt accomplish that.
but i may give it a shot.. se how it goes
-
Bump for sarcasm doubting me
-
the videos still dont play for me :'(
-
if the videos dont show it means u need an xvid codec which u can get from
http://www.xvidmovies.com/codec/ takes under a minute to download. the download link is on the right side of the page
-
Good vids man! you have a solid build for the amount of time you have been training. once you can hit 12 reps on 315 you will have 405 easy.
i'd bet that if you changed your form up a little on deadlifts you could pull alot more. get your ass down and drive with your legs first, THEN thrust your hips forward like you do already.
for your bench max try 225x15, 275x3, 335x2, 365x1, then try 405. you are wasting alot of energy with all those reps. just warm up good and do a few assimilation sets before you max. only do this for a max day, your regular training looks great. you do alot of volume but it's obviously working.
Keep up the good work, do alot of front squats to bring those legs up. calves are mainly genetic, i got lucky on that one. my calves are bigger than my upper arms...lol...my dad is the same way.
Great build and strength! those dips are nuts, i've never seen anyone dip more than 3 plates...

those dips impress me the most and im a dip freak lol glad that thread got a bump

wsup man thx for the compliment...
..to be honest with you man.. i never have max day.. my trainin is always the same in regard to volumn.. when i feel good.. then i might try to to lift more... if it works then i add that as my new notch ...
but i am gonna take your tips.... specially on the bench...
those dips trust me i did on a saturday... the day previously i did arms.. i just did it because my friend begged me to train with him... those arent my best dips...i usually get 4 plates for 10 or close enough..
thx for the bench tips man.. im gonna try it ion my next barbell chest day...
peace

Hey Mesomorph you have an awesome built. I like the way you train and soon will start doing a similar routine but 3 times a week. Keep it up you look insane!
