Good video of a freaky welterweight with good commentary by Ali Amini.

Worth watching and listening.

I've said it once, and I'll say it again... those world amateur competitors from other countries reach a level of conditioning that is far beyond the US competitors.

Could it be the lack of temptation for some of them? Could it be their lifestyle being more simplified? I am not trying to assume that because they are not from the US that they are simple, I am simply trying to determine the factors that result in their phenominal conditioning.

his one leg looked like it was 165lbs lol.

RONJON · Mar 3, 2010

WOW he looks FANTASTIC!

he is a great competitor.. been around awhile in the middle east.. i interviewed on middle eastern competitor and he said essentially that they dont have temptations that the american competitors have. he said that money, even though they are sponsored, is still tight in regards to food.. so just the essentials.. but along with the conditioning they hold good size.. 5'1 and 165 is pretty good size..

listen to the interview.. fish and vegetable diet... over 2 hours a day cardio.. weight training twice a day...

when was the last time you heard of an American working that hard...

I've hit the 2 hour mark on the cardio and it sucks ass.
If I switched to fish/veg I might die.... and then again I might get ripped.

hmmm.

this is how we filter out the genetically elite in the middle east... I don't think anyone in this area trains like americans do except for me

LOL

you see, if you do exactly what others do (20-30 sets per muscle, training everymuscle twice a week, prep for a contest by not eating at all... etc) and you don't get the results they get, you quit.

this is where the way you guys train comes in... i think it is more suited for people who actually don't have elite genetics for this shit.

still... when americans get ready for contests, they freak out if they lose more than 2 lbs per week... arabs freak out if they don't lose 2 lbs a day.

most people i know who compete at the 165 lbs category (top competitors in 75 kg class) weigh around 220 in the offseason, then workout for 3-4 hours A DAY to prep...

europeans are different... they do even crazier shit! that's why IMHO, they're the best when it comes to both size and condition.

I can't listen to what ali is saying (i'm at work), but ... I don't know... he doesn't have a very good reputation around here. so, i can't take his word for anything...

With everyones fear of overtraining, they should watch this interview. Do you guys think his genetics are allowing this though? They said he lifts incredibly high volume, and high frequency like everyone else in the middle east. I liked the comment made by his trainer that the other top Middle Eastern body builder switched to a lower volume routine and blew up, always nice to see how much training can make a difference, as much as diet/drugs/etc...

wow he looks great..

Why does Ali have a bad reputation? I've heard the same before from some other people. Seems relatively knowledgeable on the voiceover.

Shelby · Mar 3, 2010

And I'm not saying that much cardio, training, and dieting is necessarily the best way to get in condition (though it obviously works for him), just that the mindset (and work ethic) of these guys seems to be quite a bit different from a lot of Americans bodybuilders.

Also interesting to note is that a lot of the international guys competing at the Arnold Amateur are normally drug tested for the World Amateurs (and obviously they are working around that) but for the Arnold they won't be tested. I doubt that will much much difference, but they'll probably be able to run some stuff a bit longer than they normally would.
