Real Training Pics

[Jag]

does anyone have any photos or links to the pros while they're REALLY training?

i don't mean the set-up stuff when they have the sprayed on sweat while hoisting a fake 400 lb barbell & fake grimace on their face, i mean the real training shots where they're wearing the old sweats & t-shirts & lifting real weights.

i get so much motivation from photos like that.

You mean they don't really wear daisy dukes, work boots, and nothing else when they work out?

King Kamali trained at the same gym i went to in Northern Virginia.
He lifted really light.
Curls with 45lbs.
Never did Free bar - bench or squats.

LOL...I like the pics where it shows them on a break between body parts, eating a chicken breast and rice out of a tupperware container while they are sitting on an incline bench.

Yeah that would sit well between sets of squats. The next picture should be of the body builders feet in a toilet stall. MD had two guys working out with matching orange cargo pants and no shirts a while ago. Maybe they were going for the prison fantasy with the orange pants. What's the first thing that you would think if you saw them working out at your gym? They might as well of had one guy dressed up like a construction worker and the other as a sailor.

I remember reading an article some where about how the pros really train. It said they are so afraid of getting hurt they almost never train with free weights. They author said the only pro that they ever saw use free weights was Shawn Ray and he just did a few sets of squats with strict form with 315.

Coleman trains really heavy i hear

Coleman trains really heavy i hear

he squats 800 for a few reps.

 

[size]

Watch Dorian yates or ronnie coleman's videos.

 

[UnleashedBeast]

he squats 800 for a few reps.

I dunno about that. The video I saw he deadlifted 800 for 2 reps. I don't think his squat would be higher then his deadlift.

 

[Dwight Schrute]

The majority of their programs revolve around mid range isloation exercises. There are a few pro's that workout in my gym and the amount of weight is not impressive but the amount of reps they do with perfect form is. They also vary the TUT greatly depending on the exercise.

Most of the heavy weight is used for compound exercises. Most of them do follow some sort of periodization.

In this months or lasts they said he squated 800 for two reps I think. I know he DL 800 for two as well. It also said he ate at the outback every day.........lucky bastard.lol

 

[CEDeoudes59]

also heard Coleman trains in a crappy gym

 

[sage]

In his "Unbelievable" DVD, he easily squats 800 for 3. (and on a side note, leg presses over 2000 pounds....55-45lb plates :blink: )
The gym he is a main stay at is old but has everything a real gym should have. I would choose that over some 'high tech spandex wearing soccer mom, cant wait for my post workout smoothie after 50 minutes of talking and cardio' gyms.

ha, well said

 

[UnleashedBeast]

Interesting, about Ronnie. My bad, I was just stating that from what I saw I didn't think he could. If you saw it then he probably does squat 800 for a few reps.

There was that one guy who was squatting like 600 for somoe photo shoot without a cage and collapsed. Blew out both his knees--the photos were quite gruesume.

 

[kelsey]

was that like 2-3 years ago? I remember seeing an article and photo shoot of some pro or semi pro who had done that and tore his quads to pieces

Yup, RC trains using Westside, and if all is right you should be squatting the same that you deadlift. Because you are using the same muscles.

That's interesting about west side I did not know that.

They had a power lifter trying to squat 980 on real TV. His right knee gave out and bent in a really unnatural way on the floor. Pretty nasty stuff........

Jean Pierre Flux is his name although thats probably the wrong spelling.

You do use the same muscles, but you are also doing different actions in different positions, which involves other muscles. They should probably be relatively close, although they could be the same depending on how you workout or how your genetics or you are I suppose. I guess I shouldn't of said I didn't think Ronnie's squat was better then his deadlift, because it's very much so possible to have a better squat then deadlift, I just usually think of a stronger deadlift then squat.

 

[kelsey]

if you look at most powerlifters there lifts are in order as such squat, dead, bench

I did say most didnt i , some guys bench 1.5 times what they squat and still squat more than me so...

look in a POWERLIFTING USA mag

Do a search for another video, I dont remmebert if it was this board or not, but theres another small clip of him doing full squats with 800, got 2 reps maybe could have got 3. It all depends how hes training as well, heck who knows, maybe some months he can get 5.

 

[Lich]

I cant remember the site, it was like rotten.com, theres a pic of a guy at the bottom of his squat with all his insides coming out of his anal =P

 

[UnleashedBeast]

Yup, here he is doing 800 for 2.
