>talks all the time about intensity and lifting as hard as you can
>does 90% of his work on machines
>doesn't deadlift
>doesn't squat outside the smith machine
>benches some of the time
>doesn't press
most of what this guy talks about is effort in the gym but he's scared to do actual hard lifts
>b-but he's a bodybuilder!!
so what? all of the most successful bodybuilders in history do the hard lifts, but this guy chooses not to. he needs to take his own advice and start putting in the effort to do lifts he might fail at.
>i don’t care if he’s fricking jacked!
>he needs to do what I say!
post body.
He's not as jacked as those he actually wants to be like, which are other professional bodybuilders (who all do the exercises he doesn't do)
yeah compare him to a guy that's been professionally competing for the past 9 years plus lifting a lot before that
moron
look at that disgusting HGH gut on the left, roid trannies are an abomination
Why is he so red? Is he ok???
literally youtube fitness
I don’t care
Disrespectfully saging your eceleb thread
Zoomers by extension gen as are so hyperfixated on extremes
one extreme is being an aesthetic twunk twink with abs
the other extreme is being a 250 poun permabulking mass monster like sam sulek
Sulek isn't a "mass monster," he's nowhere near the size of a professional bodybuilder.
>guy blasting Chinese hormone altering drugs gets massive by doing minimal work or effort
Next you’ll say the sky is blue!
>lifting hard for 2 hours a day for years is minimal effort
You can sit around and do nothing on machines for 2 hours too
You forgot
>is juiced to the hills so it doesn't matter
It does matter because within the context of the sport he's competing in, everybody is juicing
That makes doing the difficult lifts even more important
you are definitely a fat ass
Contrary to your moronic misconceptions, unstable exercises are not as conducive to intensity as machines are.
yeah thats why eric bugenhagen looks better than sam despite not being a le bodybuilder
this is what you accomplish when you do actually hard lifts rather than getting your "intensity" from a weight that is guided on a cable
and yet, 99.99% of people that do the "hard lifts" look like fat fricks who never stepped foot in the gym, yes, there's outliers, but the fact of the matter is people that focus on these "hard lifts" universally all look like obese homosexuals and nobody finds their numbers impressive
im not talking about powerlifters, im talking about other bodybuilders that he's trying to compete against that do the lifts that he doesn't want to do
if chris bumstead does deadlifts, why doesn't sam? they just magically work for chris but not for him?
ok why then won't you blame chris for always using smith machine for squats? one of the arguments was that sam does smith machine squats instead of regular squats to spare his knees, ergo you're implying that cbum is also a moronic bodybuilder, which is obviously not the case
>the argument is adding them to the routine that he does already, not stopping EVERY OTHER EXERCISE and ONLY doing deadlifts
have you ever repped 5+ plates on deadlidfts you dyel frick? that shit will fatigue you a lot and fry your CNS, making all your other lifts suffer in the process, if your goal is to grow mass in specific areas to bring them on par with other parts for bodybuilding purposes, slapping deadlifts on top of that routine is the most moronic thing you could do
i swear nobody on IST lifts anymore
>one of the arguments was that sam does smith machine squats instead of regular squats to spare his knees
which cbum also does to spare his knees*
Dyels like you need to have a nice day. Doing compound lifts is literally the number 1 separater between dyels like you and people who actually “lift”. Even that guy who’s new, if I see him squatting and deadlifting he might be around in a year and look a lot better. The homosexuals like you trying to “isolate” your 12 inch biceps are the ones who look like shit and give up after a couple of weeks.
And the people who actually built impressive physiques all put in their time doing compounds for years. There are no exceptions. If someone’s not currently squatting because of an injury or whatever, they probably still have 5-10 years of squatting under their belt.
Compound lifts are highly correlated with being overweight.
sounds like a lot of cope to say you're fat
post body
A 40 year old thats been on gear and training for 20+ years looks better than a 21 year old, damn thats crazy
>doesn’t squat outside the smith machine
OP utterly and completely BTFO.
Jannie ban this mother fricker for at least 3 years.
Legitimate question all eceleb shitflinging aside. I know I'm a dyel just to get that out of the fricking way but I've seen this type of squat where you stand on a plate and have your feet very close. For what purpose?
Putting a plate under your feet raises your heels, which allows your knees to travel further forward during the squat because it reduces the need for ankle mobility. This lets you keep a more upright position, which leads into the second point; putting your feet close together emphasizes quads during the squat, but if you can't stay upright because your ankles are the limiting factor the stress will shift to your glutes.
Thanks anon. Interesting. Is it more of an advanced lifter's optimization or just an alternative form? I might try it but if it's pointless when you're a weak b***h then there's no need to bother.
It's not really needed as a beginner. But if you want to give it a whirl, try it with the empty bar and see how it feels. If you like it load up slowly.
just get weightlifting shoes in stead
Taking fitness advice from roidtroons is like taking diet advice from landwhales
>doesn't deadlift
he said the ratio of fatigue to gains is bad on deadlifts
>doesn't squat outside of the smith machine
objectively false
>benches some of the time
incline presses 3+ plates twice a week
>doesn't press
his delts don't really need that much more work
>he said the ratio of fatigue to gains is bad on deadlifts
so the ratio of fatigue to gains on an exercise that is universally lauded as one of the best for overall fitness and muscular development is bad?
>objectively false
i want you to look back at his leg days in the past two months and count how many times he does squats outside the smith machine
>so the ratio of fatigue to gains on an exercise that is universally lauded as one of the best for overall fitness and muscular development is bad?
the exercise is good for building your posterior chain and overall strength, it's bad for building your biceps, triceps, forearms, shoulders, etc
has it ever occured to you pea sized morons that different goals have different approaches? if I want to build bigger biceps, I won't be spamming 1RM OHP
>the exercise is good for building your posterior chain and overall strength, it's bad for building your biceps, triceps, forearms, shoulders, etc
yeah fricking obviously that's why you dont ONLY do deadlifts you fricking sped
the argument is adding them to the routine that he does already, not stopping EVERY OTHER EXERCISE and ONLY doing deadlifts
You’ve been DEBUNKED already, you fricking homosexual.
>so the ratio of fatigue to gains on an exercise that is universally lauded as one of the best for overall fitness and muscular development is bad?
Deadlifts are not, nor have they ever been lauded for muscle development. Never. No exceptions. Great for strength and athleticism, not hypertrophy.
>so the ratio of fatigue to gains on an exercise that is universally lauded as one of the best for overall fitness and muscular development is bad?
Either baiting or dumb.
Don't bother responding to this fool, anyone else. He's just being a disingenuous loser or is completely knowledgeable on fitness.
so you must look better than him since your routine is superior.

Sam makes some pretty good points about deadlifting not being ideal for the kind of physique he's trying to achieve. Also he squats 5-6pl8s for reps with free weights and presses all the time, what are you talking about dude have you never watched his shit
he benches 4pl8 and squats 5pl8 almost every chest and leg day what are you s moking blud
Advertisements such as this are against the board's rules. Enjoy your ban
Roids are a deal with the devil.
You look fantastic for like 10 years, then you either look like ass, or die.
Mike O'Hearn has entered the chat
Yea but those 10 years are probably so much better than being normal
if ur gay
arnold, dorian, etc look good still
None of those things you're b***hing about is "intensity," do you even lift? I don't even want to correct you, I just want proof you lift.
he's trying to isolate the muscle and hit it specifically as much as possible, he's explained several times why he doesnt deadlift calling it a waste of energy since it takes alot of energy to do without giving any significant attention to any one muscle. its body building that he does not power lifting, they arnt the same thing
God forbid you get tired while weightlifting. What a worthless homosexual.
All the "hard" lifts do is make your CNS fricked up and make you want to over-eat and thus makes you fat
Machines and Cables build muscle WITHOUT fricking up your CNS, so they don't make you hungry, therefore you can get lean and build muscle with them far easier
The blackpill of lifting is that any "HARD" lifts don't do SHIT for your body other than make you hungrier and likely to overeat, the difference in muscle gain by free-weight vs machine is 0, the only difference is the impact on the CNS
The FACT is that machines build your body WITHOUT the CNS fatigue where as free-weights do the same but WITH a SHITON of CNS fatigue
CNS fatigue causes you to make worse decisions outside of the gym in terms of nutrition
This is how gymbros on machines are all shredded/lean and min-max strengthcels on free weights all get fat
>muh CNS
How fricking fragile do you think the human nervous system is that you’ll “burn it out” by picking up a heavy object and putting it back down again
“CNS fatigue” is a giant meme perpetuated by muh science based lifters on youtube and it needs to fricking stop because people like you use it as an excuse to never do any hard lifts and just stay on the leg extension machine for years on end not making gains
cns fatigue isn ot a thing for dyels doing their lma2pl8 ssquats and 3pl8 deadlifts, once you get yourself to your limit cns is very much a thing, it takes a week for your body to recover from maximum deadlifts, and squats is the same story, you do big ass squats, you are done for days
how hard it is to just not put food in your mouth you absolute mongoloid
>I used to watch every episode
>Then I used to watch only the parts where he squats and does bench
>Then I stopped caring completely
fatigue is a real thing when you can squat 5pl8. why do you think bodybuilder don't do compounds that often and powerlifters do periodization? that doesn't apply to 90% of this board and if ur a natty or cant squat 5pl8 you should be focusing on compounds and using machines as accessories.
almost as if juicing was 99% of a competitive bodybuilder's body
Yeah what a pussy, should be like me doing zercher deadlifts on a bosu ball, now that is a hard exercise.
He's not a powershitter, anon.
