>Forget about your pullups and rows if you want a big back just take your deadlift to 800 pounds and do sets of fahve while being a fatass
Seriously why this fat boomer is so respected in the lifting community?
>Forget about your pullups and rows if you want a big back just take your deadlift to 800 pounds and do sets of fahve while being a fatass
Cause his methods do infact work when applied to powerlifting numbers, that said though it's also a method to completely ignore your overall health long term too so it's a bit like shit in a cut innit?
>source: trust me bro
>Cause his methods do infact work when applied to powerlifting numbers
Name 1 (one) powerlifter rip has coached to podium at an international (or even national lmao) level.
He has a beginner programm with pull-ups, retard. He's just not a fan of rows.
This. And barbell rows are in fact shit anyway, just a gay egolifting exercise.
130lb dudes doing pull ups don't have big backs though. You're 130lbs. That's his point to everything. You always find these 140lb dudes telling you how to get "big" but they're 140lbs. If you're NOT ripped at 140lbs you should just commit suicide honestly.
Show your gut
Bent arm pulls are GOATed for grappling and aesthetics. Pendlay row and do weighted pullups or you are NOT IST.
i listen to kurisu posters with maximum attention
You are on your way to a joocy back
>Strength training
His shit works for getting stronger. And gaining muscle is a side effect of that. Its not bodybuilding shit, what your back looks like serves no purpose to getting your numbers up.
Again, if you're 160lbs you're not a bodybuilder. You're just some skinny twink
The problem is that he said in some of his videos that his methods are also valid for getting bigger aka bodybuilding
>stronger
on the big 3. bent arm pulls are a kind of strength. and I don't mean emotional strength, I mean crush your rips with a gut wrench strength
the issue is recommending his shit to people who just want to get big
Circa 2005ish internet lifting forums were taken over by powerlifters who insisted that all natties should train like them and drowned out almost all opposing views. There was a good 10 year stretch where if you were a beginner and asked for lifting advice on the internet, regardless of your goals and starting shape, you were aggressively told to do Starting Strength/Stronglifts and bulk because
>why would you cut if you have no muscle?
>squats and deadlifts are magic exercises that cause roid like surges of test and gh in your body
>isolation exercises are useless for beginners because you can't sculpt a muscle that isn't there
>you need a strength base before you can train for hypertrophy
>only ladyboy homos care about being below 20% bodyfat
and many other tenets of broscience lore. So intense were they in beating noobs over the head with this garbage that you will still ocassionally see people repeat some of their talking points to this day.
So you think someone with no muscle should cut and you don't need a strength base to train hypertrophy. Got it. Your retarded. Face it Aiden, eventually you will have to get heavier than 165 lbs to be strong and aesthetic.
> Aiden
How do you know his name?
>> >why would you cut if you have no muscle?
You shouldn’t just recomp if you are really fat and bulk if you a skinny fat but a lowe bodyweight
>>you need a strength base before you can train for hypertrophy
This was the worst fucking meme for me.
>train stronglifts for a year, numbers go up but still look and feel like shit even after a "cut", quit due to getting fed up of not looking even halfway decent
>go back to lifting after year and a half of rooning and calisthenics, get on a PPL with tons of isolation
>look nicer after 3 months of it than a year of powershitting
Those fat fucks lied to me.
you dont makek noticeable gains in 3 months, you acrued gains over the whole time period you trained for. fucktard
Where’s better advice now?
And the worst part is that almost none of them were even actually powerlifters who went hard and competed at meets. They were literally just gymcel schmucks who kept the gatekeeping going as mental gymnastics to justify never doing cardio and looking like shit all the time.
>take your deadlift to 800 pounds
sounds about right
