I agree. Although me and JB are two very different physiques I really admire what he has done. I wouldnt model my physique after his since we are so different. Mands is more or less similar to me. Thats why I always like tall bodybuilders.
Of course Arnold, Dennis Wolf, Kevin Levrone, Lou Ferrigno, etc etc
No levrone is 6'1 or at least I thought. They have him billed at 5'9, 5'10, 5'11. Lol I dont even know.Kevin Levrone is a short shit like me. well he might be 5'8".
What did you read?5/1/15 Back day. Sort of an abbreviated workout. No triceps today. I only had an hour to work the whole back. So lets get to it...
19 sets total
start with:
Seated Cable rows failure every set at 8 reps. Pinch and squeeze at the rear most furthest point. Making sure without doubt every fiber has been beaten in to submission. End every set at 8 not because I reached 8 but because I hear my own death rattle underneath my ear buds
90deg bent barbell rows. Wide grip pulled high to middle chest. Pinch and squeeze again. Thats the key for any back work IMO. Not really much weight. 95 lb including the bar.
Moving FAST now little rest. LETS GO!!!
45lb plate shrugs sets of 20. Pinch and squeeze trying to touch my ears. Weight isnt important here. What is important is fighting your way thru the burn. Theres a reason why I do 2 compound movements then work my way in to trap work. I find once the lats have been worked traps respond better. Very little rest is important. Keep tension on those traps. My wife says im borderline no neck now!!! She aint seen nothin yet
Next:
Hammer strength high pull. I like this exercise because of the arc and range of motion is much different than anything that can be achieved thru barbells or dumbbells. I like to pull 1 arm at a time. This allows me to be able to pull back further and hold the contraction better. Give it a try
Last:
Cable straight arm pulldowns. This is the ultimate burner for lats and traps! Use a bar with a slight curve in it not a straight bar. This allows you to pull further past your hips and really develop the upper back in places a STRAIGHT bar wouldn't allow. I do them kneeling or standing. Both are great.
Im motivated and psychopathic today. Great energy boost. I read some inspirational shit by Lee Priest last night. When im done with my back work your gonna need a fuckin step ladder to see around me. Bring it![]()
I pull 5 plates with form. I just do 8 reps, because 10 will get sloppy at some point. Even 4 reps will work, as long as your form is good.I have to condense my workouts because in a perfect world id like to go 6 days a week. In reality its like 4. So often shoulders get worked with arms. Oh well gotta roll with the punches.
On back day I regularly do 20 sets a few more wouldn't hurt tho. I also work traps with lats. One other thing is I never swing my weight or use momentum. So weight will always be LESS. I build more dense muscle like this. I dont see myself doing 5 plates on one arm unless im throwing the weight. I can do 3 plates and with a full pull and pinch on the contraction.
No levrone is 6'1 or at least I thought. They have him billed at 5'9, 5'10, 5'11. Lol I dont even know.
I saw in interview with him snd he was asked what a perfect mr O would look like and he says 6'1 about 290. I think thats always stuck with me and figured he was talking about himself. But you got me there HF
Dorian Yates was like a god to me when I was in my early twenties. Wish I was more educated on nutrition and body building back then, so I could have had more success. Instead I just lifted as much weight as i could and never got bigLove these guy, watched all 3. Thanks @HuckingFuge
We all did this. When I was In my teenage years thats all i did. I thought i was big shit. Didnt know any thing and wondered why i never got huge. I benched like every day. Curled everyday. Never squatted until the strength coach got after me. Lol. Looking back at the pics i just laugh now. I was the most muscular kid in my high school. Still wasnt shitInstead I just lifted as much weight as i could and never got big![]()
Yeah 20's will make you look really good. I hate seeing big guys with no tri's or bi's..lol
I try to do
10-15 sets of
standing rope hammer cable curls
10-15 sets of
Wide grip curls
10-15 sets of
Close grip curls
8-10 set of
Tricep push downs
8 sets of

*I'm pretty much at the cable machine section the whole time. I just now started to add dumbbell curls into the session also.*
I should be around 20 1/2 or 21 by Sept.
