Highly recommend, if you have the opportunity. Bill was otherworldly strong, and is STILL a huge dude.
The stories he has are nuts, and he’s got training ideas that definitely go against a lot of what is popular today. Volume was NUTS.

He is deff coming down here but not sure he is going to Melbourne. Not sure I’ll be able to travel across the country to see him.
That’s no lie! The sheer amount of work Kaz did would kill your average mortal!

Thanks dude.
It’s probably because he trains in the 8-12 rep range. If he used lower reps he would be strong but wouldn’t look it.

Can you tell me how to look like this in 6 months? I’m only prepared to do calisthenics 3 times a week, and I’m not prepared to buy any equipment, visit a gym, eat meat, train in the summer, seek any medical help for any issues or follow most of the program you give me.

No, but based on your results after 6 months I can give you an exact idea of what you’ll look like in 2 years! Hint: it’s lots and lots of muscle muscle muscle.
You clearly have not seen my 6 month progress.

Oh true. Well you at least followed the program right?
So true. I wish my gym had some people even vaguely experimented so that I wouldn’t have wasted years on less than stellar form (I should have recorder myself way sooner…)

I dunno man, you see plenty of beginners on here paralysed by fear of bad form. Almost as many making sure their form is “optimal” as making sure their program is “optimal”.
I’ve only ever posted one form video, for @T3hPwnisher, and his response was along the lines of “If nothing’s hurting, that’s fine”. I genuinely don’t believe I’d have got any bigger or stronger if he’d given me a list of 20 different things to correct, I’ve never been at a level where I needed anything better than " if nothing hurts, that’s fine"
Indeed, indeed, perfect form is often overreated. But you know, after I don’t know, 1 years and a half of training I went up to 200 kgs deadlift sumo and conventional, but my lower back was rounded. Sometime even on heavy RDLs. Sure it didn’t hurt hurt, but I could feel my lower back really had paid a toll after each session. And that’s not great for longevity
Probably not, I don’t know. I’m a little more cavalier about this stuff. I pulled 225kg beltless with no idea if my back was rounding or not. I’m very much in the camp of “what I don’t know, can’t hurt me” at that age. It’s quite possible I got lucky. I know myself though and if I allowed form to be a factor, I’d have been second guessing myself from now until the end of time.

True dat. I used to obsess too much about form, and well strength has improved since. But I’m always a bit stressed about my DL because this can be dangerous, and since I’m not a powerlifter, I don’t really care that much about the weight on the bar
You are smarter than me. Luckily I have a great personality.

That’s why I worry about technique over form. Like when squatting if my abs are tight, back is set, I unlock my knees first and go straight down, and use my legs and power myself out of the hole, I know my form is just fine lol.
