congrats on what? lol

Why rack pulls on a back day? The deadlift in itself is really a ham and glute dominant movement and a rack pull may be beneficial for improving lock out but, I assume you're using this for your low back? Doesn't seem like the safest way to train the erectors. I say this to converse not to criticize

 

[myosaurus]

Phil I thought you were going hypo for a moment at the end of the video...
question... does the name Todd Mendelson sound familiar to you? does he have any influence on your training?

 

[Marky Boy]

You remind me of guy cisternino lol.

Do you take anything for skin/acne? Or is during Prep your skin worse?

You look fucking shattered too man!

 

[herculeus]

Just to clarify you said no Intra carbs pre contest?

 

[sluggy]

Holy shit that's scary. You look literally dead. Please get some sleep or something, you look fucked.

Great video

Is it ok to do 2 power exercises then 2 volume exercises after, say on chest day every 6 days?

It's basically what iv been doing, seems to be working

This is really skewed to me. If you deadlift you know that once in a while your traps, lats and whole posterior chain will be sore due to having to stay tight and keeping your shoulders/ scapula retracted but, otherwise you are not going to see any significant hypertrophy in those muscles compared to something that uses your lats far more effectively ( pulling, rowing.) I also think this is far to taxing on your low back hips etc considering you have your lower body to train.

Well his back looks pretty fucking great to me. I don't understand why guys have to dissect everything someone posts on here. Especially when the poster probably looks multiple times better than they do.

TP4U keep doing your thing

If I could only do one back exercise for thickness and fullness it would be rack pulls. Just curious Grade A ...have you ever done them for 6-8 weeks working up to a max set of 10. Gives me a lot more than a lat pulldown ever could.

Usually when people do this they don't even realize themselves how jealous they are. It happens everywhere. Any social media where one can sit behind his device and talk his shit. YouTube is probably the worst. I think Phil knows what he's doing and even if he didn't whatever's he's doing is working cause he's fuckin ripped and yoked and he's going to be battling for the no. 1 spot.

Keep it up Phil. Haters gonna hate
