WHAT IT TAKES TO BE HUGE! 

Why wasn't Palumbo ever in the Olympia he could have ranked in the top 10

@@great1006 try to find real pictures from competion from his heydays. Not so superimpressive and if weight was from gut or a lot of it, it is not so much impressive.

What is with your negativity dude just stop it already and go troll elsewhere Palumbo at that time and those pictures could have cracked the top 10 or even the top five but during that time the competition was so fierce that it would have been a tough battle for Palumbo to beat Flex or Marcus rule

Quit trying to contradict my statements you know I'm right just the fact that you disagree shows you know nothing about bodybuilding

Shut your fuckin mouth bitch

BODY BUILDER333 ik thats why im still scrawny 😁

And love hanging in the gym for hours when they would be better off putting their Fn cell phones down and focusing. Bis and tris,small bodyparts that are easily isolated shoiuld take no more than 30 min. Maybe 4-7 sets each. Then go home and eat and grow.

Yep. I watched someone the other day doing legs back and arms. One less person that will stand next to me on stage.

The problem is the recipe for optimal muscle and strength gains are different for each individual. Most people will look up a program online and stick to that. You need to see what works for you. My body responds well to hitting a body part 2xs a week with 6-8 reps each workout and some drop sets. I hot a lot of deadlifts, squats, and bench. All of my workouts start with one of the 3.

There's plenty of big guys who also believe there's no such thing as overtraining. I think you have to try different ways and go with what works for you, there is no one right way.

Yep I saw that one I was laughing.😂😂😂

Push pull legs with only a few working sets per bodypart is a great way to train. The problem with people who do it is that they do way too many sets which effects their recovery/strength so they go back to one body part a week and stay "under trained". They try doing the same amount of sets that they used once a week in the push pull legs method.

Same here dude. My gains exploded when I started p/p/l routine and less volume per workout. I also do two days on/one day off so every muscle gets hit every 4 or 5 days instead of 7 days AND i gained a rest day. Been working for me for years

What do you think about that, Dale!!

omfg can you picture that? lol

Yeah, it's crazy running into some of these dudes that talk about being a "Hardgainer" while simultaneously preaching schedule adherence "up at 6:00am, no matter what time I go to bed!"..... Don't worry about sleep, your gear will carry you through.....wtf?

Genetics is vital part of growth

@@SilmShandy hard work and plenty of sleep Outweighs Genetics take all the Genetics and it isn't shit without work or sleep i see it every day with troubled athletes

@@SilmShandy too many true stories out here in this world to prove your claim is not necessarily true

Justin Kiker who ? Then genetics is everything 5ft 7 guy ain’t going to be 6ft

Eric Petersen what happened? You don’t have to answer that but I am curious. Was it gear related?

F

jordan dangelo - I did all the gear- everything. I felt my heart one day in the gym, it was a bad feeling. Scary af. I was 35 or 36. Had it looked at. All checked out. I was 255 6’1” but didn’t have good genetics. I just loved training, juice, diet etc. I knew my heart wasn’t right. So I dialed back everything. I had sever back problems my whole life. When the gains started to fade the pain in my back got worse. I trained but was going easy until my back got so bad I couldn’t train. 5 back operations later(similar to Ronnie) I was done with training. I tried circuit training-wasn’t for me. I’m 52, I got a autoimmune disease and took Kenalog that shit melted my muscles away like you can’t imagine. No muscle memory left. Huge gut from a rectus diastasis not gear, that’s a myth online. No regrets. My problems were NOT related to gear. I worked in with Dave in Venice once, he ain’t telling tales, he fukkin trained hard!! Moral of the story-enjoy or while you have it. Some guys are luckier than others. Gear if abused is bad. I never abused it. Blood work etc. Thx

@@EricPetersen2922 damn what a story ;(, and i think i am having a hard time because i have a triceps injury for already 6 months..

@@EricPetersen2922 thanks for the story friend I'm glad to see that you don't have any regrets!

The guy that looks like a dirt bag?

haha..yes he does

You a lousy shot.. I hate a lousy shot dirt bag..

I always thought Dave looked a bit like Brian Thompson. He was also in Lionheart with JCVD as well as many other movies. His first role may have been one of the three street punks that Arnold confronts (while naked) in the beginning scene of Terminator.

Nice night for a walk.. Wash day today.. Nothing clean.. And then a 7 foot cyborg answers in an Austrian accent.. Naais naait fowa wok..

Dorian is a piece of shit

Try it man it works natural or not you just need a really good mind to muscle connection you need to stimulate the muscle eith heavy weights most of the dumbass naturals who cant grow off of a 1 day a week kinda split are doing to much in one day to hit the muscle and are not stimulating thats why most naturals are small.

Keep in mind you have to go to the gym 6 days a week if you want to do yout whole body in a 7 day schedule. That doesnt work for me. I do a lot better train multiple body parts per week. You can try it out, I did. It may not be as great as you think for your own body though.

@@christpower5402 you can go five days.. chest , back, legs , shoulders, arms depends on if you split quad and ham days

The most important is the nutrition, volumen and progresive charge. Also frecuency and intensity, if you are natural the best choice is F2 with hight, moderate and light intensity, compounds exercise as your main routine and accesorys to complete.

I would only agree doing the higher-volume lighter-weight type of training as a warm-up during the same time when you were getting ready to do the heavy weight lifting it's only to be used as a warm-up for the heavy lifting during the same training session that's the only way I would ever condone the lighter weight higher volume Training Method as a warm-up

boi aint gotta know physics to be a bodybuilda!!

great physique though :)

He should've come to Canada, we gave Greg Kovaks a pro card...

Truth. Dave deserved a pro card! Amazing things didn't align for him.

@@Davido50 he doesn't really at all anymore just a little to stay healthy ither than that he does not. All is takes now I believe is 250mgs a week for TRT

lol

Yea he forgot that little detail. You won't become a huge without those dates.

Anna Drol

He openly says this in many videos

and trenbologna sandwiches

Honesty? If he was honest he wouldn't have left all the major info out this vid

Evolved Human no he’s not lol

i think he just was saying thats what he thought back then

So circadian rhythms are a myth? I don’t know the answer re cortisol but the body does know what time it is

Jacob Streiff you’re not understanding

What about the automatic functions of the body that is triggered when daylight hits your body. There is a effect of daylight on cortisol levels.

Jason Perryman why does this need to be relevant? You just want him to say his gains come from steroids. ITS OK. Not Everybody is CUT for bodybuilding

Getting off all the drugs except maybe TRT..cutting the calories by 70%..much less intensity training if at all. That's why.

I would rather keep my gains as a natural than to deflate and look like a bag of chicken bones.

mikey mick stfu

Guy! How to get huge 💪

No one that size and that lean is a 'goon', end of. The intelligence, discipline, consistency and sacrifice one needs to achieve that is beyond 99% of people on this earth. There are no 'goons' at the top of their craft. Simple as that.

@@jbsc97 Right😮 well you sound like a bitter wanker... So I know which one I'd prefer to be😊

In my professional opinion about doing this for 10 years I do totally 100% agree what they have your weight shorter workout routine as opposed to the lighter weight higher-volume Workout because this is all about being anabolic and lifting heavier weights while eating a higher calorie diet all translates to maximum anabolic potential which will result in maximum muscle growth lifting heavier for a short amount of time increases that anabolic state whereas lighter-weight high volume training does not this has been scientifically proven that's how I know it works

Uh...you forgot to mention genetics, hard work, work ethic, consistency, recuperation, proper eating, etc.

What a resentful, sad person you are to make such a pathetic statement.

hugster2000 agreed!

Strangely enough Dave is still doing good

I agree bodybuilding is such shit from health perspective fuck the passtime all together its a death cult and not remotely a sport

Graino veino dave palumbo

PRICELESS LOL

LOL, Gee never heard this one before....................

Noice

The only thing worse than a Trumptard, is an unoriginal Trumptard.

NAME ONE IFBB PRO WHO ONLY USED TEST AND TREN TO WIN SHOWS??? NONE.

W3r366oo egg shell

With the egg shell like Lenny used to do at the old world gym.

@Michael Myers could Ozzy Osbourne have been a bodybuilder?

Duck eggs from Mike O Tren

Lol I was thinking the same thing.

It raises when the sun rises, triggering you to wake up. But, yeah- sleeping through it doesn't really happen -I don't think

And even then it doesn't attack your muscles the way people think. Mental stress is when you have to worry about cortisol.

Lenny lol

I think he refers to work-sets only. Might have done 14-15 sets in total with warmups and preperation. I do about 2-3 worksets for a musclegroup, it might take about 30-40 minutes, and the total amount of sets is around 8-10

Maybe, but he started smaller and, in his prime, had significantly more muscle mass than guys like rich piana and boston loyd, who used huge amounts of gear and talked about it.

Obviously the gear is a factor, but if gear was all it took you’d see guys daves size fairly often.

i think 5 warm up sets are ok for most for example Deadlift: reps x kg 5 x 45 5 x 45 5 x 70 3 x 95 2 x 115 5 x 140 (workset)

@@RevoltingRudi 8 was all sets fir chest.

yes bro exactly my thoughts. he is not that old here. like he is in his early 50's why his skin in hands is like that now fully looose and shaggy??

@@Al-oh9yr you must not know how it works he weighed 300 lbs so he now has loose skin from weighing so much his skin is stretched out from years of being over weight and over eating

TheMjfan2000 Good question, he was getting bigger and going harder. Could just be that he wasn't pushing too hard until he reduced his training. So, perhaps more frequency would have helped

Thats a good question. Also, most bodybuilders do multipe body parts per day. The problem with the one body-part a day is if you want to hit your whole body in one week, you have to train 6 days a week. And for me that just has never been a reasonable amount of time to spend at the gym after the age of 30.

@Dantes230 thats two case studies vs. nearly all the studies done on the field though

🐓🍌

Dave has always been honest about ped use. He even sells kits to test your peds. But you're still not going to grow unless you eat a caloric surplus with a proper macro ratio, rest enough and proper training. If you take gear and train like shit and eat like shit, you wont grow.

Dave always talks about gear usage ya numbskull.

Always the guys that don’t even look like they work out talking shit about the guys that made a career doing it lol. Dumbasses.

you would actually be surprised at how much the drugs DONT do....

@pan peter have you actually cycled gear.... What I mean is you fucking people that scream steroids as if all you have to do is take steroids and you can be on an Olympia stage or a professional athlete for that matter, make me laugh so hard I could spit water all over my screen. Its 70% genetics. I've taken massive amounts of gear and yet there are some guys even still further than me naturally. And I've been training (powerlifting) 8 fucking years. I've ruptured my patellar tendon. I've pushed the limits hard. And I'm telling you, you would be surprised at how little the steroids do. On paper they sound fucking amazing yeah. All the shit you just stated is what science says they do. But that doesnt mean if you have a 1500 total naturally, on steroids you will have a 2100 total lmfao. No, try even after training your ass off on every steroid imaginable, you might gain 200 or 300 more on your total after a few years. People seriously think that if they peak out around 170, 180lbs naturally that if they took steroids they'd be 300lbs lean and hard lol... so stupid. You have to work so fucking hard, words do not do justice to how hard you have to train and recover to get that far. It's a full time fucking job.... I'm in the gym 3 hours a day, 5 days a week. And when I'm not I'm constantly pinning or pushing food down my throat. There is literally almost no time for nothing else. Just to add 10 or 20 lbs on my lifts in a month or two... it took an entire winter (with fucking steroids) to add an inch and half to my quad size last year. And then your constantly training around some time of minor injury. Yeah... steroids guys, steroids. They turn you into an invisible god capable ofanything. I challenge all of you who respond like that to actually take a cycle and see what the fuck it really is. Definitley not as easy as you people make it out to be in your mind. Yes it gives you a higher capacity, IF you can even mentally push yourself to that level, IF you can make the sacrifices to make it that far, IF you have the motivation to have the consistency for years despite all life factors... give me a break. I've watched hundreds of these types of people fall out the gym in weeks all the damn time

Boxcar Ent. What you saying. All these guys are natural

It's so cringe how all of these bodybuilding videos never mention steroids as the key ingredient when we all know that they are on the sauce. It's almost as if they are taking us for fools and it is really insulting to our intelligence.

Black Mamba Ronnie Coleman was natural his whole career. Whoever disagrees is crazy

@Not Ikea coworker Yeah just imagine what he would look like if he actually took steroids.

@@blackmamba4682 He'd make Hulk shit his pants.

😂😂😂😂

I don't think he's hiding it. I think he didn't say it... because it goes without saying 🤷🏼‍♂️

he's pretty healthy except for some minor heart problems and he and his doctor monitors everything there are people with those conditions much younger that don't monitor everything

TBH Dave physique was shit back in the day. No idea why he even started to compete in BB. It does not take genius to see he had zero genetics for BB.

Never stop squeezing in the runs if that's what you're passionate about!

You're thinking of Ronnie Coleman. Dorian is in amazing shape.

You mean Coleman dude LOL, Yates is n prestine tip top shape.

Dorian is doing great. I don’t know anyone that can match his intensity anyway. You have to be a freak.

RC Jes It can, but you have to alter your plan for secondary frequency.

You're right... Ive tried this HIT bullshit myself and it just DIDNT WORK. Yeah I got stronger but not any bigger. Now Im back to crazy high volume training and people think Im on steroids because Im growing so rapidly

Most people don't apply it correctly. And then they don't eat accordingly.

Body By PT Exactly. I'm natural and do HIT stuff sometimes and it works, you just have to have the right mentality to actually go all out. That being said, you can never go wrong with volume.

@Dantes230 ahaha im sure your definition of "ripped" is a joke

Anavar give up!

@@TraumaER Lmfao like your mom

no Dean's just a know it all bitch.

Dude he was 310 in the offseason at 5'9. He was almost as big as Ronnie.

daveking777 you’d think you’d like Dave then since I’m sure you’re similar in those qualities.

yes cuz you can get to 300 lbs with poor genetics ? go try it and let me know how that goes for you

lader baxter so you judge good genetics for bodybuilding on how much you can weigh ? How about symmetry,muscle belly shape ,overall balance ? Dave body was build from his bodies ability to absorb drugs ....he looked terrible really ! And he looks gross now he can hardly walk and looks like he's melting .....have you seen Albert beckles lately in his late 70s and look ten times better than Dave ...yes poor genetics

@@daveking777 everything you mentioned factors into good genetics for bodybuilding including your response to drugs to put on size..without the size your a swimmer build with the size but no shape or muscle bellies your a strongman look alike..Daves body wasnt that bad until the end the excessive drugs caused his muscles to deform

@Jay Julez of course not..but not everyone on drugs will get to that size or even 250 ..genetics
