[Zigurd]

Painful to watch, even worse to perform.

 

[chadcruz]

Those incline benches were ridiculous.

 

[Comin_Up]

How could someone at that level train so poorly...

Riding the genetics, nutrition and drug chain. Training is the smallest peice of the puzzle for him obviously.

Yeah man i seen people who are in great shape and barely workout for shit. damn genetics. Imagine if most people with amazing genetics would actually put in the work.

What like Ronnie, Phil, etc?

Also the genetics thing is only half the picture; you still have to train, you still have to eat (in this instance you still have to take drugs). If you already achieve well doing SFA, why would you push yourself? People like easy.

Yeah, we would have more bodybuilders of that caliber.

I hope you were being sarcastic.

 

[Natzo]

Brandon's whole upperbody is fuckin impressive!

 

[FEVER]

sweet ROM

 

[kn609]

I've seen calf raises with more ROM than that.

 

[dilatedmuscle]

why does he wrap his knees all the time? wouldnt that in turn not allow his joints to get stronger?

 

[Bulkboy]

it hurts my eyes to watch him train

 

[yardharr]

What is the point of that?

Depends on how tight you wrap and what sort of wraps you use. They can just be a firm support or they can provide a lot of extra leverage and rebound. This is the difference between keeping the knee warm and helping you lift.

I agree that you can't use heavy wraps all of the time or your joints don't adapt, and also joints/ligaments/tendons adapt slower than muscles so having the support can mean that muscles can do more than the joint can handle. But you also have to consider that long term training takes its toll on your joints, so support can be a good idea. The fine line is when support becomes crutch to the ego. A lot of support gear is often used to lift more weight, thus putting more stress on the body/joints, and is used in place of good form and developing a strong and healthy body. I have always taken the stance that if you can't lift something in shorts and a t-shirt then you have no business wearing belts, wraps, straps and suits to do so (outside of a strength competition or preparation for). So wearing a belt to increase IAP to aid the spine to hold position on a squat becomes about training longevity rather than being able to lift the load (e.g. I can squat the same weights wearing a belt and wraps or in bare feet and shorts, I wear the gear so that I'll still be lifting it in my 50's).
