Could you have Paul and/or Jose do like a simulated judging of a callout? Like let them talk it out and see how they actually score a judging ? Could be any show from the past, I’m just curious to how judges actually go through the process
I’m from NY, moved to TX for 4 years and now am in Vegas working remotely. In NY people either live and work in Manhattan but don’t drive (parking is $20-30 per hour) or they work in Manhattan and live in NJ or Long Island and take a train in. The other option is live and work on LI and go to the city for entertainment. I moved because I had preferred to live alone but you get priced out even if you have multiple jobs if you include student loans and a car note. Everyone I know lives with someone else or lives in a multiplex. Not too many people live alone because it’s just expensive everywhere unfortunately. I moved because I was sick of the extra expense and the snow and cold.
The “overthinking Bbing” section of this podcast brought me so much relief!! Lately I’ve had information overload following guys like Kuba, John Jewett, JP etc and they all have GREAT information but this info should apply to guys who have the foundation and need to make those minute improvements. Hearing this from you guys allows me to stick to my guns and just go in and lift the basic fucking lifts heavy as shit for 5+ more years until I’m getting minute feedback from judges.
I thought Stu pretty clearly shoulda been in 3rd based off the live feed and more crisp pictures that were produced. Density, fullness and conditioning were all in his favor over Sergio
I was in New York for a couple weeks recently. I stayed in Pearl River but I took the trains into the city a couple times. Manhattan was always packed!
Nobody really drives into nyc, public transportation is the main mean of travel for daily commuters. Trains, bus, ferry. I personally take the ferry from NJ and it’s a 8 minute ride across the Hudson River
in NYC, the daily life is more like subways and etc. not saying what happened to you guys is not reality but if you were normal tourists - the subway is a real thing
in 2023, people dont all work in manhatten either. you can live in brooklyn and work in brooklyn too. also, new yorkers have lived generations there so thats the same as asking any family to leave the state.
I don't know if you ventured into Brooklyn and Queens (must have crossed it in order to get to Bevs), but in my opinion they have a lot of cool food places and gyms to head to the next time you decide to come!
I’ve been watching a little old Andrew dice clay recently… “I was out having coffee with boys “lol “till two am?? …. YEAH, what do you want me to say baby” 🤣
I’m curious to know if anyone else was at the Cali pro and saw what I saw, I was there all day and it was pretty clear that tonio was ahead in pre judging but in finals, I, as well as everyone around me had Ross winning the show! He came back at night looking so much better
I think weight classes would make the lines between the division more clear. There’s defiantly a way to make it more black and white with divisions. Interesting thoughts. Another great podcast!
The overthinking segment is true. What happened to the old days in high school when your coach or teacher in gym just told you to focus on heavy compound lifts and had a basic 5x5, or 3x8-10 routine. This worked for years on beginners to get a good understanding of the weight training and how their body respond. The message should just be to lift heavy ass weight with good form and eat big for growth while you're young. You can tweak the details as you progress.
Sergio placing behind 2 mid tier pros at a low tier show, and looking worse than he did at Legion's where he got beat by Regan who was last at the O. Quads way smaller, lats atrophying, trademark subpar conditioning. He should consider a new career.
New yorker born & raised ... 2 MORE years & Im out of here Cant take the traffic and parking your car on the street will give you anxiety at the highest level 😂
You’re like the fifth comment I’ve read mentioning this. Most of those guys’ legs already suck a$$ (competitively speaking, for any other category), probably because they barely train them. So, who cares?! 😂🤷🏻♂️
I think Tonio's problem might be his chest/shoulder mobility more than anything. I had a similar issue where I literally couldn't get my shoulders back and I could see it pinching between the front delt and my chest insertion similarly to how Tonio's appears here
To be middle class in New York city you need to make 100k a year minimum everything is ridiculously priced. Parking spot monthly in NYC $1000-$1500 a month.
As someone from NJ, NYC is just a lot. You can have a great experiences but it’s just marred by a bunch of other things. Getting to the location, the costs, the amount of people, the unsafe parts, homeless, trains, etc.. all that.. but then you get some of the best restaurants, great entertainment, bars, shows, sports, shopping, etc… for me.. it’s a 1-2 times a year train in to see a show or see the Christmas tree and that’s it.
The problem with weight caps in mens physique is now guys are never going to touch legs since they are covered up to allocate all that weight to their upper body.
(commenting on the end of show training question) I'm just a guy that likes lifting and so far I've figured out; the exercises that change you are all the ones that are really hard and have a big element of them sucking. Curls and isolation stuff I look at as stuff to do if your progress stalls on a compound move (I'm failing on the bench because my triceps need more work because they are failing way before my chest). The sucky exercises make you feel better after you get out of the gym.
Great Show: Fouad do not feel bad for your excitement over Samson, you have a great eye for talent and have brought this champion to the worlds attention and wow what a talent! keep up the great work and forget the haters ( jealously is one hell of a b...ch)
I’ve lived in NY my whole life. Grew up in the Bronx. Will always love my old neighborhood but the neighborhoods are not the same anymore and the city is def not. Way too crowded and the traffic is nuts. I work there so no choice. And even making 100k it’s still tough to live since I have a home in Long Island. Of If I could I would leave but I can’t.
I love how Fouad does this to Paul lately "so, you like geography, Paul" and " so, you like Greek food, Paul"...and that confusion and getting everything wrong is so funny
***Northport Fouad?*** man i live 5 min from there i was gonna go bye Bevs too that week. Huge fan since your start wld been cool to meet you! Tommy Long Island.
The pre and post workout, all fast food places got rid of the grilled chicken burgers. When asked why they always say “We replaced it with the crispy chicken wrap or burger.” Makes 0 sense 🤦🏻♂️
