Alex C or maybe they are just used to him haha

...and squatting it like a boss, too.

Not hardcore, how it should be.

@@Rascon5 yup. how is should be - this isn t even heavy. it s light in actual fact.

Swyftly the hyper trophy.

Tough at any level. I can’t do that many sets.

you can't keep doing that, these guys are on steroids and chemicals. Any natural person will know what i'm talking about. You will just get sore and bones hurt from this. That's why even smolov is a suicide routine if you can survive its 12 weeks. you can't squt 500 and 600 and 700 lbs over and over and just cruise along! lol

Mike M He's just missing the crazy beard.

Haha

He's big boned

conditioning? lol

Ian Mcstruthers lol

How long to you make your rest intervals during hypertrophy? Do you use heart rate, a stop watch or do you just feel it out?

bigbobabc123 Haha I don't really. I got a new one a couple months ago for my best friends wedding. Size 60 and tailored from there but still fits weird.

***** Since when are they doing such high reps? Do you have a link to what you're saying?

***** Dynamic Effort Squat for Westside is something in the range of 12 sets of doubles with 50-60% plus bands or chains. Even if we assume that the weights are 75% at the top, .75*12*2=18x the lifter's 1rm in volume. In order to obtain 15 tons of volume, one's max squat would have to be 30,000/18=1667. The all time world record squat is 1267. So no, westside guys do not perform 15 tons of volume (from squats) in a workout. They might use 15,000 lbs., (for example, a 1000 lb. squatter doing 12 doubles with 75% at the top would do 18,000 pounds of volume), but not 15 tons. And they often perform over 15 tons of volume if one adds up accessory movements, but I think ccax74 was referring to volume from squats alone.

jonnyl21 LOL for the Candito Workout ;) I meant "useful workout". Something like >60% of 1RM. Not very hard to reach a high volume if you only take 50kg or so...

Ben Clarke they make it more comfortable to hit depth through improved ankle movement and counterbalance.

Juggernaut Training Systems Thanks, I'd moved from oly's to flats recently and I'm contemplating switching back.

+Jason Millard volume of assistance work doesn't cause the homeostatic disruption that compound barbell movements do. I suppose you could say that I was doing back off sets here, but this is really just the same thing as if I'd done 8x8 at 525, I just did it like a pyramid to keep myself entertained.

+Czako Bogdan Single leg RDL.

In regards to hypertrophy, higher rep sets are better as they're closer to failure which promotes more growth and the higher rep sets have a greater metabolite effect on the muscles.

Juggernaut Training Systems so for legs the :45-1:30 hypertrophy rest period isn't true? I thought supposed to keep in that range for hypertrophy training. also, what is your opinion on being overweight for frame size in terms of general health even if it is more muscle? I am getting a thick waist and high blood pressure and waist circumference and am 185 at 5'10. they dx me with high blood pressure recently and I workout about 5 days a week and bike to work.

185 at 5'10" is not large. Also, although I'm not anywhere close to an expert on this matter, high blood pressure has genetic and dietary influences as well. It's curious that you're getting a large waist at that size.

***** I was taking 4-5 minutes.

I wear a size 8 1/8 hat. Quads are in the 36-37" range I think.

Juggernaut Training Systems 😳

AndrewBuchwach just trying to set my hip position and then making sure that i feel even pressure through my feet. I was extra sore/tight yesterday and just needed to try and be a bit more deliberate in finding my balance and bar path.

Juggernaut Training Systems Cool, thanks for the explanation, makes sense. I was kinda hoping it was One Crazy Trick to Add 80 Pounds to Your Squat but no worries maaan.

Gerhard Symons it should work great for you. give it a shot. be prepared for some new soreness though :)

Mr 350z Nismo Thanks; I'll build up to it! My hypertrophy phase is 3 weeks (with 1 week deload).

David davids I was taking about 4 min between sets.

+Sam Broome-Smith its a combination of body proportions, strong quads, good hip/ankle movement and proper bracing patterns through the trunk.

He looks up all the time and his chest goes up before his butt. I do the same.

I read his chest goes through his butt, new squat cue?

+KongLuvs I was taking about 5 minutes

He replied on another comment - 4 to 5 minutes

Lots of volume, high reps sets, and relatively low rest all result in hypertrophy. The weight is moving fast because hes a beast :P. He's still controlling the negative. He's just very proficient at bringing the weight down quickly without losing control/divebombing. You're right tempo squats are another great way to build up weak points, but tempo squats aren't required for hypertrophy. volume and control is.

Train slow, become slow. There are many ways to skin a cat but as a strength athlete the last thing you want is to slow down.

That's just bodybuilding mumbo jumbo. There's evidence that a faster negative produces more hypertrophy due to a greater stretch reflex. Also there is a ton of TUT in this workout.

when you get that famous lactic acid burn, you have entered into hypertropy. volume= doing lots of reps with the correct amount of weight=lots of that famous burn=hypertrophy. For instance, if you do 20 reps of dumb bell curls FOR YOUR FIRST SET with 10 lbs, that will probably not give your much burn. IF you do 20 reps of dumb bell curls with 100 lbs, you may have to do all kinds of extra movement to move the dumb bell and that will do you no good for building your biceps. BUT IF YOU TAKE 35 LB DUMB BELLS, and do 6 sets of 20 with 90 seconds of rest in between sets and do full range of motion and make sure to do them perfectly, then you will be getting a strong burn, and you will be sore the next day. You will have stimulated the muscles enough to grow---you will have caused hypertrophy to happen through volume with the correct choice of dumb bell weight. AND SINCE THE BICEPS ARE A SMALLER MUSCLE GROUP WITH A SHORTER RANGE OF MOTION, YOU CAN PROBABLY TRAIN THEM 3 TIMES PER WEEK.

#1 rule of knowledge and information: test it.

Nj Wilder bars they use in Olympics don't bend and they clearly have lots of weight on them too...

actually the only barbells used in the olympics are weightlifting bars,which are a lot more flexible than any other type of barbell. chad is probably using a squat bar here,no whip at all.

Ye there are different types of bars for different purposes. For example at my gym our deadlift bars whip a bit, helps training go better.
