The MD video people should check what they are doing. The video aspect is too wide.

Evan is YOLKED!

 

[goonstopher]

Honestly I am surprised by how weak they are. I wish I could grow like that ha.

 

[RESTLESS1]

Really?

Really?

They are amazingly huge guys but 3x25 on the smith press? 2 x 25 on military? And the weights on dumbbell raises are like what 25-40?

Honestly I bet almost everyone on here uses more than all of those weights. The upright row is pretty decent for the end of a workout because of the high reps but you would think such massive men would be using weights we could only dream of. Heck I am tiny as all hell and I could have held my own in that workout.

I don't like training heavy on shoulders either, too many rotator cuff injuries, sometimes it slips right out and off the gym for weeks.

i think that the #1 reason guys don't grow like they should is they concentrate too much on the weight or how much they can lift. this guys [evan & fouad] have as their mane goal muscle growth and use the weight as tools only, their thoughts are on muscle growth nothing else.

outstanding physiques can be built with moderate weights.

working with moderate weights and feeling every inch of the movement can kick your ass just as bad as going super heavy but using a bit of momentum.

damn evan is freakin jacked in this vid.

Evan shoulders are great. It is nice to see some lines in a pros shoulders these days.

 

[dragonfire101]

not a lot of weight. I know middleweights that do seated lateral 40lbs for 15 strict reps and feel each rep out and don't have shoulder like that.

Guess its just genetics and body frame size.

It is also a seminar too, so they are just going for the pump....
Probably not an actual W/O for them.

That is interesting because almost everything you read, from trainers and articles, always talks about progression of weights. There is NO WAY these weights are a progression for them. Thats all I am saying. Those weights can't be a progression so either they are faking the effort for the seminar or are just genetic freaks who would grow no matter how they trained.

I mean my legs will never be the size of their arms so maybe I am an armchair quarterback here but as someone who has struggled for every once I have only seen progress when getting stronger. Also the only times I have EVER felt my workout the next day is when I broke personal poundage records.

That's what I'm thinking or assuming...

Almost every big guy (heavyweights) I know pushes heavy weight for the most part.

well as an example of light weights goonstopher consider this leg workout. i do this from time to time and it is a grueling workout. using only 3 plates per side on the leg press and 80 lbs on the seated leg curl ( ham tractor) superset 30 reps on the leg press with 20 reps on the leg curl with no rest in between other than the time it takes to move from one piece of equipment to the other. do this for 5 supersets and see how your legs feel for the next 2 days. not world record poundages by any means but extremely effective.

Evans delts are sick!!

 

[mexbeast]

up until 2-3 years ago i used to bench 385 max and do 315 for 8-10 reps [on both incline/flat] but an injury changed all that. i had to go back and start benching just 135 at most i am back up to 215x8 and guess what? my chest is now twice as big. it made me think differently about the weight. just as a reference i have been lifting none stop for 18+ years.
