Training Tips for the Young Guys

had two burgers and fries and watched the Alabama Georgia game which was a crazy game like all the cor is All released was probably 10% better finals yeah that's the first time I've ever been better at finals there you go up what's up man how you feel good ready I'm alive I'm excited how are you me too your show baby working on it oh yeah bomb show do you have like any food right now I'm honestly this is the most food I've had at this point but my body's using it so I still feel tired

but I'm at like 180 grams of carbs that's not bad 150 to 180 depending on the day at least it's not [ __ ] zero y I think the lowest I've ever been was 50 wow yeah one meal a day that's rough what is up YouTube back of the Athletic Club training some chess I got Blake with me today I stole some young blood our local classic physique recent [ __ ] here so he's got a lot more energy than me he's a young blood classic guy coming in so I'm trying to steal some of

the energy take it into me on this peak week he doesn't need it right now he's got lot lot of food in his system he's starting his offseason I'm ending my prep so we're going to just he's going to help me push with this workout last chest day here in Florida hitting at the raw Athletic Club cuz we got some nice AC get to wear a hoodie and not drown in my own sweat so yeah nothing crazy for me at least still not trying to hurt myself that's it we train chest come on yep yep

Drive come on squeeze your Ps control that a little more from right here fight it fight it fight it there you go another one come on one more come on perfect for him oh that's all you oh [ __ ] there yeah that's a bodybuilder trap it feels good but then your shoulders get Tighter and Tighter I said I got to work on my shoulder Mobility like there's anything that will really help you at the beginning of this offseason is everything you do right now like those flies when you're doing the 140s or whatever you're

pressing [ __ ] one second pause and then like all the way back try not to let your shoulders roll forward the whole time also want to just like do more stretching in general like I don't I don't do enough like actual like man if you do the proper range of motion you don't need to stretch it's actually crazy especially if you do it now yeah like last year with my side chest I would hit it and my arm was stuck out here and I couldn't turn and just this year from doing better range of

motion I'm like back where I used to be yeah cuz we all know if you say you're going to stretch you're not going to stretch exactly how it goes every time so just do deeper Ranger motion yeah had a nice nap today for the first time in this prep pretty much Courtney was packing went to the spare bedroom was going to just listen to my audiobook and I just fell asleep and miss a full chapter for 30 minutes and couldn't believe it ien been that ball prep actually have some energy right now it's kind of

nice I become an avid Napper when I start working out my energy picked up way more when I have more food than me for sure what weight do you normally work at on this huh what do you normally work at on this usually around four either three or four and then I'll go up to five for like a heavy top turn and then just back down one one one one all the way down to two are you going to go to Five this time maybe why you going five calling now right like I I got

to feel it but if you are going to go to Five you just do like two reps two three reps two or three rep [Music] yes yeah I'll go to Five that felt good five five I can push on machines that's why we're here hey I'm just saying bro this will be let anything happen to you that wasn't heavy at all this can be your dumbbell de lo week yeah I found I am it's different this time because we've been doing much more of that stretch the Deep yeah it burns it quicker a lot quicker

but like that's what I need to do I mean better for muscle growth and shoulder health and I'm also never one to like bro I could not give less of a damage about like what weight I'm pushing doesn't matter it's more so about just like if it's hard if it if it sucks and you can feel it like perfectly who cares what the number is if it's working it's [Music] working Y come on good come [Music] [Music] on good good control yep come on good I'm not pushing nothing more than thato um I do three

plates and just bang it out get some blood Ming I'll go down to four probably four okay you want to do no that's fine the vibe what I think I took it a couple weeks ago I do mix that like impr prep you don't sweat like ever yeah it's the one thing I hate about I hate about an offseason it's nice when you truly enjoy the heat like you can go outside with 100 110 degrees in Florida yeah you're in prep and you like this is nice nice and warm step outside and the peak off

season you're like [ __ ] let's go to work here come on y good squeeze in the top yep try and bring it a slight touch at the bottom every rep yeah I don't know if I can get down there do you go lighter no no it's not for your shoulders to feel it [Applause] come on push through all the way through come on oh come on come on I got I can't spot that [ __ ] yeah no I'm like no no I mean to try they need like a pad or something stand around

here you [ __ ] to the warm-up reps bro you do a [ __ ] ton of warm-up reps oh I was just knock those in half yeah I didn't even I didn't even think it was warming up you were I'm already warm yeah but that was too late that was too late to work huh that's the point if you're already warm you feel that you're like all right just stop after two or three reps it's true especially in your offseason yeah it's true the two plays going to be heavy as [ __ ] probably

you mean for me or for you I don't know I think I think it's going to be pretty [ __ ] heavy but you be the judge I've only done this once and I have no idea how much weight I did it's really nice yeah your range of motion is pretty nuts you're back here I I didn't used to be yeah it's honestly just this year I like spent the first 3 months literally just trying to get better range of motion yeah I mean I'm sure like there probably so many things that contributes to just

in growth too I like break you're pretty much allowing for more development in every area I mean more range of motion is yeah it and like posing on St just going to be [ __ ] posing helps so much and just overtime injury prevention like I spent a couple years with a hurt shoulder doing nothing but pressing like this with shitty in motion my shoulders got worse and worse and worse spent 3 months opening up my Ranger motion and it's been way better beautiful okay this is definitely a much Fuller pump than I usually get

really yeah beautiful I just feel it more here cuz of the stretch yeah so much different it's [ __ ] helpful I'm telling you yep good big come on y I might strip a plate from this and try and really get more focus on that a plate in a 25 yeah cuz the two wasn't bad but I feel like it's just not doing myself any favors and not getting the full rep you know I'm the guy you train with and go lighter than you normally do what's that I'm the guy you train with and go

lighter than you normally do dude yeah like [ __ ] but I mean there's something to be said for you know like I said earlier it's not the number you know yeah give yourself a half second pause the stretch keep your arms bent a little more than that you need to Bent a little more so your elbows are going back instead of your forarm yeah like that go yeah I feel it come on come on squeeze it in another one come on another one come on go good last one one more right here one more

come on come on squeeze squeeze squeeze squeeze squeeze and hold that right there let it just fall I've discovered that I mean I've known this but I just ReDiscover every year my weight drops I get [ __ ] so tired but then when I'm used to stabilizing at that weight I feel so much better like last week I dropped like 3 lb got down to 245 and I was zombie mode like couldn't keep my eyes open dragging ass and I felt like that and I progressively felt a little bit better cuz my weight's been stuck

at 245 so it's like I'm just used to being at this point it's kind of nice honestly normally I feel worse at this point but I had my week of suffering at 3 weeks out two weeks out I feel okay one week out I die I said it's definitely a difference in like how because of the deep stretching it's like filling out the chest a lot more because like even when I like do something like that I can feel my chest pressing on my biceps more than usual it's like just little things I'm picking up

on huh no no that's what we were saying it's like it's not about the number it's just about if you can get the right contraction off of whatever weight you're using and just making it suck as much as possible as much as you can and that's all really bodybuilding is at the end of the day that one over there is plate loaded so we can load that up with a lot of plates it's the exact same thing if you want to but we could also do like a um one of the new tech presses or

how much all I'm going to do little shoulders shoulders at the end I'm down you want to do that I actually always do shoulders with chest I know if you would or not I wanted you I probably might not do it but I wanted to make you do a specific dumbbell thing that'll help your shoulder and your decline Peck then that's exactly what I need but we can do that first cuz I need to do a flat okay and then I'll put you to do that you got more energy flat press first or do the

shoulder thing first flat press first I officially wear Vans and birken stocks every day so if anyone's a size 13 I'll donate to you my Jordan do a giveaway so let me know okay on this one to do like a 3 second negative three two one one second pause oh one second then put three two one one second pause SW 3 two one little heavier there come on keep that Tempo come on three two one one fight it come on keep that pause at then come on you can still do it pause explode come on

give me another full rep come on come on slow down slow down oh [ __ ] that last one was like all you oh yo I'm [ __ ] weak the hell is going on I hate that's what I do to people I show you how weak you really are no I appreciate it humbling experience it's interesting cuz it's less of a like I'll have that burn as I'm getting to the end of like where my capabilities of pushing it on my owners yeah and then it's like when we're getting those forc reps it's like

I can feel just the end of the squeeze but I like can't feel it other than that you know what I mean it's like it's like my whole body's just like whoa it's something that you learning how to train with a spotter is like another skill to learn essentially know like you realize it's easier to train to just throw weight on and then fail at like six reps cuz you can't anymore or it's mentally like doing a negative that one second pause squeezing [ __ ] of it like prefer that yeah I'd prefer the negatives

and like making the lightest weight as hard as humanly possible cuz that's always when I feel is best but it's just like so interesting how sometimes you feel feel it so much and then it's just like can't feel it at all now and it's just like am I even pushing what's happening right now come on come on good let's go come on keep going come on controllers down yep go two more come on squeeze your PE come on there you go come on just squeeze your PE the weight will move come on okay yeah so

it's so funny too in the off Seasons like you're like you have more energy but it's also like less you know you finish your set and you yeah and prep you're like your cardio is so much better your heart rate's like zero oh yeah that's the nice I've been staying like really on top of my cardio and stuff like it's so weird too cuz you're in prep and you're like [ __ ] I do cardio and then you're in the off season you're like f cardio baby really I suck at Sticky up with my cardio

dude I don't know why it's just been it's been really nice and the only thing too is like I'm a I'm type one diabetic so like it really helps with insulin sensitivity and stuff like that and I don't really have an issue with it or anything I did post show for a little bit um but uh but it helps keep it under ra perfect but yeah it helps so much and it's it's like a day-to-day noticeable difference like if I do fastic cardio one day blood sugars sit at like 80 the entire day if I

don't do it they might bump up to like 110 120 and then they'll they'll sit around there and then come down a little bit and they'll like fluctuate a little bit it's so weird but like the stand effting 10-minute walks or whatever you know what that is yeah I've heard the name yeah he always he he was like every you eat something you go on a 10 20 minute walk right after for digestion and stuff I did that a lot in prep like every time I would eat it was like weird cuz my digestion was

so like on point that I was like I don't want to go walk now but don't need to it helps good yep come on let's go good good let work that's work I got you m you getting any pumps right now or no no not really the other day I had 500 gram of carbs and I still didn't even have a pump oh God I always feel like it's the day after that's why I always got my I felt good the morning after like I felt full in my check-ins but I still didn't get that

like feeling in the gym where you're like yeah oh yeah do you like any of these shoulder press pin loaded ones um I don't often use these I usually use this one plate loaded but have you ever used this thing that's the thing Brett's on right now lateral it's like one of my favorite I was going to do that at the end a slightly like Lean Forward L I was going to do that after but I want to super set of press with this lateral this one's pretty nice yeah I haven't used this one but

it's a full stack too that's the thing about yeah that's the thing about these like this one that one I know I can full stack maybe that one it looks old it's got to be heavy what you good I don't know you tell me just let me know are any of these machines having I think that might be why I don't all right play loaded it is I'm going to go to two and a quarter have you ever gotten a uh Tension Headache bro I'm the king of [ __ ] tension headaches dude I have

migraines twice a week where I'm like debilitated in a dark room crying I'm so glad somebody knows the pain the worst [ __ ] is awful [Applause] dude your arms are San WRA it's [ __ ] nuts right here I Haven want to tank top in a minute in this gym huh I haven't we a tank top in this gym cuz it's too cold yeah I bet it's nice for me right now yeah I'm fat and hungry you'd be [ __ ] in my gym yeah it's going to be a beautiful thing for your shoulder

mobility in the offseason and your PEC Miner and a front Del take your word for it like instead of a normal neutral press where you're kind of like here you almost bring a little bit lower there okay just like stretch the [ __ ] out of it you know what I mean instead of there you it pulls you down your Peck a little bit more and you push like a decline okay yeah I get what you're saying don't even think about like going heavy and failure and dying literally just stretch feel it in the muscle

and contract the muscle in that stretch like that no more neutral like tight tight tight tight all the way like oh like here like yeah as much as you can you might even need to go lighter to start yeah I mean it's not terribly heavy but it's just it's unbalancing well it's not it's not meant to be heavy at all feel like when you're here and see how you feel that stretch in your peck when it goes forward yeah I'm going to go down to like 50s and then see how that feels cuz I see

exactly what you're saying I can feel that yeah but I want to get better contraction that's why I'm saying like it's not about this is muscle growth you practice your range of motion here and if you can get to the point where your body's used used to it enough where you can actually go heavy but now like I would do this at the end of all your chest days okay now work working set just like a strch like when you adjusted the dumbbell there at the end it like that pull oh [ __ ] um

I'm going to grab 50s and try that come on come on all in good good get another what would you say has contributed the most to your shoulder growth because you got some [ __ ] crazy shoulders I mean obviously genetics shoulders is the easiest thing for me to always grow but just just a implant shoulders are my thing that I've just been there yeah I always dumbbell press heavy as [ __ ] but they're just my genetic gift yeah shoulders on my like feel it's like right here you just got like some [ __

] baseball in there or some [ __ ] cuz I used to be out to shoulder press more if not the same of what I could chest press damn yeah my shoulders just took over everything so they grew yeah like this year I haven't had a shoulder day in a year really I like this is I'll do should at the end of chest or something something but I haven't trained them all year damn [ __ ] anything else that's it for me do little ABS that's I'll do some ABS I never do so it's probably

a good thing if I do I'm not doing anything crazy right now some leg raises cable crunches I've never trained ABS in my off once not proud to say it CRA don't put any of that [ __ ] about Derek orotti CR in so bad so cring my abs cramp so fast some days I just can't train them yeah this is why I usually don't oh [ __ ] oh God that's my curse
