Do you have lower back problems? I'm just wondering why your wearing your belt when doing hypers, seated rows and pullovers.
 
Can you explain why you do alot of half/partial movements? Like the preachers, hypers and cable rows.

And next question is why is the name of the film "Rolling on 22's"

Lookin' good tho man.
 
Well for the hypers the way he is doing them will isolate the errectors more, if you do full hypers you bring your hamstrings and glutes into the movement. Also i believe it's called rolling on 22's because he's got 22" arms.
 
great physique. i like how when you flex your bi's you can see them get bigger each time you flex them. i see you do the same pose in other videos too, your right arm you flex by your side and do a tricep pose after but your left bi you flex up high(why is that). is that the best way to do cable rows? i always stretch out more...
 
What muscle group are you trying to attack when you do pullovers?

Kind of a strange question, but I've been having a dispute with my training partner as to what days to do them on because I get a great tricep workout from it, and he only feels it in his lats. Other people feel it more in their chest. Just wondering where it does the most damage on you?
 
the title is meant to have a dual meaning with my age and off season arm size...


I wear the belt to keep my stomach tight...

the partial movements have always worked for me as I go by feel when working out.

pullovers for me have always worked both back and chest, but I do dumbell pullovers for chest and the hammer strength pullover for back...

I really like this theory and i use this as much as possible when training. If you feel the burn where you want to then the job is getting done efficiently, no point in looking good and either not using the right groups or being uncomfortable risking injury. You get bigger every time you post which makes me respect what every ou say when it comes to weightlifting.

Holy crap...you're only 22!!! That's amazing :jaw: When I was 22 I had a 29" waist, yet alone a 22" arm.:ntome: I wish I were joking, but I'm not.
 
here is a shot of me doing rack deadlifts with 725 for 2 reps

and leg presses on a 1000 calorie/day diet:

Also, I have no idea why it says 41, I guess I really don't worry about bs like that when I am registering....

That's awesome Mike. Good luck with it man as you can tell you have definately worked hard.
 
Impressive weights, but why in the hell would you be eating 1000 calories a day!? I know we all drop carbs and calories but i just don't see the reasoning in dropping calories that low.
 
Guys,

Just a heads up that I lowered the price of the DVD to 14.99 as I have worked out a better deal.

Also, the monthly fee of my site is now 7.99!!!!
 
Wondering what you use the rack pulls for? I do a pull from just below my knees and use it for lower back/traps. However the smaller ROM interests me as well.

Then on the Leg press, once again a very small range of motion, do you do this always? Going low on the leg press doesnt feel natural to me, so wondering what you might feel these offer you.

here ya go.
 
Ya i'm curious about the whole weight belt thing as well, you always see the pro's wearing them for every set of practically every exercise does it really make a difference in trimming down your waist? I'm doing tons of planks n stuff like that as well as dieting and my waist is getting tighter and tighter but i'm just naturally thick if you know what i mean, like i had to lay off deadlifts in the past because i was getting too thick, maybe I just need to work on looking wider to balance it out, but i'm willing to try wearing a belt more. I barely ever use it anymore and i thick because of it my core has thickened up to compensate for it.
 
This kids been at it for a looong time now. I remember seeing him at like 225 when he was still in highschool. Clearly not kinda kid who jerked around in the weightroom to impress chicks, while partying and drinking like 99.9% of the guys he graduated with.

too true, that's usually the way it works out!!

I didnt see the leg or back vids because they were private videos, but I can speak for myself with regard to leg press, I use a pretty short ROM to "trap" my quads in the movement. The further you go down the more you involve your glutes and hams. And since I train quads alone (and sometimes with calves), I want to isolate them and at the same time overload them with weight. Besides, my ass is big enough as it is from years of deep squatting (which i no longer do, 5 sets to parallel and that's it), I dont need any more glute work.

Again, I cant speak for mike, but that's my rationale for short ROM leg press. And when I say short, I mean my knees come roughly 8-12 inches from my clavicle at the bottom of the movement.
 
I agree with short ROM leg press. Huge ROM leg press and heavy weight just brings horrific discomfort and a sore ass and hams. I think ROM is over-hyped anyway. I can make many muscles work harder by limiting ROM to a certain range in every case I can think of. IMO its simple, you create much more time under tension as a result of strategically limiting ROM.

I think they both have their place:

A small ROM can really help isolate the tension to a specific set of fibers. For instance, you can limit your ROM on curls so that you're mainly working the fibers that make up the peak.


A large ROM is going to work a greater number of muscle fibers (possibly increasing secretion of growth factors), as well as increased the distance in which you've exerted force (a.k.a. burns significanly more calories)
 
Fibers are all or none when it comes to action. They don't get triggered more or less with a different ROM. Hell, you can activate all of your muscle fibers doing an isometric exercise. I think giving a muscle significant TUT with a major focus on the ecccentric portion of the contraction works best in general.

Simple rule of thumb for me: if you feel it working thats because it is working! When I implement huge ROM i lose the feeling of "work" at both extremes of the movement. And, I'd assume, that's because its not working anymore. I may be wrong though, I'm just too lazy to go dig up info about something that's been working just fine for me :lol:
 
I'm not saying have a 2" ROM, but making sure you go "top to bottom" on every rep is just bologna at best. what good does the rep do for you when you lose tension at the top and the bottom?
