Phil Heath and Robert Burneika train arms.

Phil Heath and Robert Burneika were in France last April for a guest-posing. This is the video of one of their workout in french fitness center.



Both have tiny arms....

I didn't see Rob do one full ROM curl in the entire video. I just don't understand that.

I guess his and other pro's philosophy is ; Why train properly when you can train half assed and let your genetics do all the work.

All the sintol in his arms is preventing him from doing a full rep.

What about Phil then? Same goes for him, he used pretty much the same ROM as Robert did (or vice versa)...

But I don't understand that either. What is the reason to not perform full ROM reps???

Keeps constant tension on the muscle so more blood gets pushed into it i suppose.

Keeps constant tension on the muscle so more blood gets pushed into it i suppose.

Bicep (for example) is a very simple muscle and you can easily keep it flex'd even if you are performing full ROM reps. I would also claim that you get more out of your workout when performing full reps.

I thought Phil's reps were ok. He went to the top of the active ROM on each rep, but instead of straightening his arm at the bottom he did the, as Comin-up said, the constant tension method. Nothing wrong with that as he was covering essentially a full ROM. Rob wasn't though.

Phils curls were great, watching rob do 4 reps i closed the video. looked hybrid front raise and curl with poor ROM as already discussed. They are just curls though obviously other things are giving rob his big arms.

Maybe Rob looses the "tension" if he goes all the whey up on the rep... So that's why he only goes that far, to keep the tension!

 

[tim290280]

^^ No point if you don't actually contract the muscle through a full ROM.

 

[Essensen]

Who cares if they do full reps - it obvoiusly works pretty well for 'em. When it comes to arms a lot of people feel a better pump/contraction when they don't do a stright full rep - I do that to and arms are one of my better bodyparts.

Rob's.

 

[nigster]

Nah, BS! If we are really talking FULL reps, there was maybe 1-2 FULL reps in that video.

But who actually cares? They both have big arms and they propably still would have big arms no matter how they trained them...

Eh, at least they weren't performing bicep curls as if they were a full-body, compound movement. I'd rather see a weak range of motion than slinging from the hip.

 

[yardharr]

I don't understand that first exercise. Is it to maintain the highest gravity load throughout the movement? That would make sense to me since Phil Heath probably knows what he's doing.

I'm a big fan of the reverse clean and jerk. Great bicep builder

 

[BigBen]

That was weak!
