That’s a horrible photo-he looks much better in person!
Hmm, he didn’t specify how many days a week, but I’m in the weight room 3 or 4 days a week and he knows that, so I guess that’s the recommendation.[/quote]
Have you tried to get him to throw the iron around? I bet his pulls would go up like teh crazy.

From his picture he looks like he has the body of a 10 year old boy. So while he maybe able to do a high volume of work with some resistance, it hasn’t help develop his body any.
No, he looks like a lean, fit, healthy guy in his 40s as opposed to a body-builder, and guess what? That’s what he is! (He’s also got incredible cardio-endurance. He can max out any cardio machine in the place and keep it there for 20 minutes.)

And T-Nation looks like a site for bodybuilders and power lifters, and guess what, that’s what it is.
So don’t be surprised when we don’t get all mushy about some endurance guy who is preparing himself for the “flight” side of a “fight or flight” situation.
I don’t feel like I’m in a position to offer advice to a pull-up champ!
He does do some stuff on the cross-over cable machine. I don’t know the real name of the exercise, but I saw him doing one the other day I call “the William Wallace” 'cause it looks like you’re about to have your arms torn out of the socket–he was pulling 250# on each arm.
As HH mentioned would it not be better to do something like weighted dips, pull-ups, and DB squats?

Tell him he is weak because a bunch of faceless internet guys think he trains wrong.

Really! I’m sure he’ll drop his current ineffectual methods immediately.
