I like Mike O’Hearn, he’s strong as fuck, much stronger, bigger and leaner than myself. He has a physique and lifts I would love to match years down the road. Saying someone uses PEDs is not an insult, I have nothing against PED use, it’s a necessary tool for many of the physiques we aspire to achieve.
there is a reason he’s on 500+ covers. little short of 6’3 290 with abs, that’s as close to a freak as it gets while still very aesthetic. inspirational physique IMO.

exactly… but every time its brought up people seem to get so upset about it like its a huge put down or something.
another “in training” part of the Power Bodybuilding program upload today:
Mike is bulked up to 280 lbs here.

And every time it’s brought up it doesn’t take long for a random asshole to start to refer to someone PED use in a negative way. Do any of you remember Pwrbarboy’s thread ?

Yeah that guy was totally awesome and people were total douche bags to him, a few in particular

Is all I could find on how he periodizes stuff.
The basic idea (start light, go heavy, repeat with higher starting point) is the same as used by Ed Coan, Kazmaier, 5/3/1, Ronnie Coleman, etc… They all use/used variations of that kind of thing with varying training cycle lengths, reps/sets, how often they upped the weight etc.
I personally think that the 5 sets of 4/3 during phases 1 and 2 are a waste of time. Whether you do that or 2-3 sets of 8 or whatever, or split them up over more than one big exercise (say I want to go heavy on both bench, close and incline or whatever, so I do 1-2 sets each, ala Coan etc, or split that in two again for 2 workouts per week ala Ronnie), same thing basically.
But if all I’m doing heavy is bench and then some assistance, why on earth would I want to do 5 easy ass sets with 3-5 minutes between. I have other things to do… Sure, not the only program that has you do that, but come on… I’d be bored to tears.
The main point is the starting light and going heavier over the weeks while dropping reps -part.
And man… Our supposedly natural Mr. O’Hearn does more heavy sets in one workout per bodypart than Ronnie Coleman did in two.
Puts up weights (except on the bench) to rival Jeremy Hoornstra and with more volume again…
In fact, he easily matches or even exceeds the work set volume of just about every IFBB pro bodybuilder out there with maybe a handful of exceptions.
455 for 4 sets of 8 on the incline after heavy bench…
A billion sets on arm stuff (how does he progress on the little things anyway without gear and using that sort of protocol?) with top-of-the-line weights… 4x10x225 barbell curls AFTER 4 heavy high rep sets of incline curls… Eh…
I could believe the big 3 numbers at 290 lbs… Much of the other stuff seems a little too crazy. I could believe those numbers for one set each. 4 sets each though? I guess his joints and tendons are made from flexible diamond fiber or whatever.
I think he actually did compete in powerlifting once upon a time, but I don’t remember what he put up… Anyone feel like googling that? 
[/quote]
Hold on so in the video he’s ramping up 7 sets of 2. Is the 70% in Wk1-4 the starting point and if so what is the peak % for those sets?

It’s ok, he’s doing just fine these days and has reached new levels of retard muscle lol.
^ No kidding. Being compared to Kevin Levrone by Shawn Ray means you did something right lol.
Aaron will be an IFBB pro sooner than later. Retarded muscle bellies, huge and freakishly strong.

Good, nothing i like more then when someone shuts up haters with results
anyone know of what % of max to use in his program. He says 7 sets of 3 but doesnt specify what weight to use. I assume this isnt to failure.
Dood’s a BEAST.
Mad Props.
Stop hatin.
NO-NO and NO. No f…way he has dunked 800 squatting and or/deadlift raw and drug free. He 47 and “drug-free” and is pulling those numbers??? He is extremely genetically blessed, but come on Mike…it’s not happening. I’ll put up $1000 a pound over 750 on either lift. I’ll pay for the drug test AND I’ll weigh the weights to make it “official”. Its has to be raw too. Lets see what happens.

Why don’t you go to his facebook page or website or wherever he can be contacted(I don’t know) and make him this offer. Post the link back here if possible.
man there was some big dudes posting in this thread back in the day. Some cool guys I wish would come back.
Used to be loads of huge guys on here, I reckon I’m going to have to hit the juice hard as a homage to them all.
Yogi, I like your style:)
Always thought he was cheesy but really admire his discipline -goes to bed by 9 and gets up to workout at 4 am year round( btw try this if schedule allows and gym results will skyrocket)
