B-B-BBBUT ERIC
I love him, in the most romantical way possible
Oh I mean, Eric is cool (keep the authority, goddamn)

This has became my favorite thing lately. Saddens me that all his old vids are gone, but I did enjoy the compilations. Still, I used to watch those reeves and Jefferson dead videos all the time to get amped.

I watched them a lot too, man I swear I’ve never felt as alive as I did when I just maxed out on front squat and Jefferson every other day and OHP and pull up on the rest of the days (fueled by Eric’s spotify playlist of course)
My love for oddlifts probably started with Eric’s videos

Some stupid thought I had.Imagine all the stupid stuff people would do if someone was to put a plate loaded calf raise machine with the potential to hold 2000 + lbs in a comercial gym
It would be gold

They’d still add weights to the top, overload the sides and have people stand on it. Just like with the leg presses. I see people almost daily where I go do the horizontal leg press and have people get on the back and shit, go halfway down and tell like an asshole. Insanity man

I saw this for the first time the other day. There was an average looking guy who I’ve only seen in the gym a couple of times doing doubles and triples with the leg press maxed out using all the 20kg plates in the gym. After every set he’d walk around a bit and stare at everyone. The best part though this guy who looks like a bodybuilder, twice his size, was working in with him using half the weight, must say something.

Yeah,that was what I had in mind.A leg press on steroids
I guess he only has to get stronger overtime and reach 4000lbs to build big wheels
I remember once squatting with a guy.I was working up to 3 plates for a set 5 and did it easier that his 1 and a half plate for 3.He told me that his legs are stronger a bit later cause I was using like 2 and a half plates on the leg press or something while he usually used “double that with ease”
Mini Workout

Yellow x whatever Cause I feel like meaty forearms on the upper part whatever it’s called are awesome
Band leg curls
Yellow x 100
A little experiment I plan on doing
I feel like the mass of the neck comes from the sides.So for the next 3 months I’ll focus on side neck curls,both doing a ton of volume and going “heavier”(keeping in mind that I need my neck to live),followed by stretching and light neck curls and see where that gets me
@oldbeancam any chance we’ll have a training log of yours in the future? You look big and write like a well informed meathead (Using that in a complimenting fashion) so reading your training sessions would be awesome

I’ve thought about it a few times. I’m kind of in between programs at the moment so maybe once I decide exactly what and how to tackle whatever I do, I’ll contemplate starting a log. I used to have one on supplement reviews when it was thriving, but was never consistent so I guess that’s one of my worries with one here. Appreciate the compliment though brotha.

Out of curiosity,how does your programming(or programs) look like?
I tend to run a three day a week with conditioning thrown in throughout. I try to sprint twice a week. My three days are mostly centered around Jamie Lewis’ cHaOs & pAiN or a 531 full body. I’ll run blocks of those (usually 2-3 4-6 week blocks) and then do about two weeks of straight hypertrophy work. I say I’m in between programs now though because I’ve been pretty burnt out as of lately and kind of want to try something different. But that is how I have been training for a littlest while now. Granted, I just got back in the gym again after almost 6 months off with a torn tendon in my wrist, extreme tendonitis in my knees and a fucked up lower back.

Sorry to hear that man,hope you get well asap
Chaos and pain has some interesting programming,although I would hate the high frequency
Rotating weekly volume and intensity,and I mean either doing a really low or high volume workout has done wonders for my recovery

I don’t follow cnp exactly as laid out since I do follow some type of percentages and such. Like I said, I tend to follow block, so I’ll do the same exercises (like deads and ohp for example) for 6 weeks, work off a training max, increase either weight or reps every week (dependent on feel;similar to RPE) and then switch movements after that block. For example, my first six weeks might be deficit dreads and push press. I push those two movements as my heavy work and base all the accessories off pushing those up. So my week would be set up as day one heavy deficits and lighter z press, second day would be a front squat or dead stance low box squat and close grip or high incline press, and the third day would be speed/volume deads and heavy push press. The days in between would be bodyweight work, light bodybuilding work if I want and definitely conditioning a couple of times a week. After the 6 weeks, switch exercises and push those. I’ll do that once more or I’ll do a week or two of lighter hypertrophy work. All autoregulated. Sorry for the long reply.

Training this way took me from a 365 4 inch deficit deadlift to 495 in a very short time. Obviously the 365 wasn’t top end due to technique being new and such, but still.
