Is Alpha Destiny heading for a massive injury with the way h

>>40255607
Definitely, his skin will never recover from the monolithic gains naturally enhanced has bestowed upon him.

The guy is strong but for what purpose. He would like exactly the same lifting with far less weight with far less risky form.

He is obsessed with the concept that strength = size for natties. Can't he just look at himself and realise there are weaker bro's on brosplits who are his size and bigger, that aren't doing all kinds of crazy intense heavy lifting....

Alpha Destiny rack pulls more than Eddie Hall deadlifts. Suck it powerlifting roider fags

how can you get injured doing a rack pull above the knee? explain what muscle groups or joints are at risk for injury specifically

>>40255745
Im not talking about rack pulls....Im tallking about the way he trains....he chucks around that 300lbs adjustable dumbbell...that doesn't look healthy for the limb.

I just imagine him snapping his shit up one day, really badly.

Was thinking about the same.
That 300lb dumbbell row had no meaning whatsoever. Why would you do that?

>>40255882
>natty

People on roids can look like shit too

>>40255933
His strength on bench, squat, conventional deadlift is within natty range and he doesnt look that impressive. He is only strong on the unconventional lifts. Eric Bugenhagen still outlifts him though. So I do believe Alex is natty as he claims.

He is pulling from his dick so it is more like a sack pull.

>>40255607
Why does he obsess over numbers so much? I've been lifting a few months and my body looks way better every though my bench press only went from 110 to 150. I gained at least 2 inches on my arms. I feel like he exaggerates a bit.

>>40256900

>>40255705
eric bugenhagen can rackpul more than alex tho, i know he weights more but still, eric and alex have the best natty backs on all of youtube period.

>>40256908
I don't have old pics, but I remember my arms being 10 inches and now they're over 12. I'm not saying I'm big or anything, but he acts like you need to hit a 225x5 bench to see any improvement.

>>40256900
autism

>>40255804
it overloads the upper back mate, something a deadlift cant do. deadlift uses too many muscles so u dont fully stress ur back, the rackpull is the only thing that will increase ur back strength

>>40255804

For back work in general it is.

Much less effective as a hamstring/glute builder though.

tfw threads get posted here everyday trying to put alex down but all your doing is promoting him and his genius training philosophies. tfw pussies think 'insecure' counts as an insult.

>>40255607
this guy thinks 1-inch rack pulls are better than real deadlifts. Only becuase he can use way more weight.
Its the same as saying 2inch squats are superior to normal squats becuase you can progress faster and easier, and use more weight, with only moving the weight 2 inches.

>>40257025
Then he does a weird form of "rows" where he kinda do a mixture of deadlift and powerclean to row. There is almost no arm involvement.

>>40256958
Ok I thought what you meant by looking way better, its way better than Alex. Instead you actually meant way better than you were before.

If you really do watch his videos, he clearly said that for the average men, you need to be stronger to be bigger. If you dont need to, it means you have good genetics, which isnt the case for the average men.

I couldnt watch more than a couple minutes, this guy is a faggot lol

>>40257019
yeh, he gets so many more views now and theres /fit/ faggots shitposting all over his comment sections in the past 2 weeks of videos

>>40257025
It is better for upper back and traps bcs of the overloading, but not for the legs bcs of the very short ROM.

Why do people who criticize him dont even understand what he says. HE NEVER CLAIMS THAT RACK PULLS ARE BETTER THAN DEADLIFTS FOR THE LEGS.

>natties have to do all this wacky shit to get even slightly noticable traps

Is there even anyone here on /fit/ who has traps bigger or as big as Alex without lifting heavy at all and is a natural?

Lmao /fit/ is too confused bcs of the fake natties out there who lift bitch weight and is huge

>>40257076
Its helps for traps, but its not for the rest of the upper back. its still a dumb way of doing it. no time under tension
Dumbell rows is good for the upper back. He does it in a retarded way, but it still helps. but it would be better if he actually used his arms.

>>40257161
Time under tension argument is retarded. You can just increase the reps or sets and you instantly get more time under tension.

>>40257161
Dude Alex does static holds too how can you say no time under tension

>>40257025
it just looks like he's doing kroc rows to me desu, except with even shittier form than usual and with less gear

Bulgarian method isn't bullshit if applied to training, at the minimum you should do moderately heavy compounds six days a week. If you juice like an 80s olympic lifter (less than today's olympic lifters) you can crank out 2 sessions a day.

>>40257278
Are we talking about the actual bulgarian method or the watered down WSBB version?

Just realized that most people who criticizes him are retards who only watches him training and dont even understand what hes saying about it.

>>40257265
Its not kroc rows when you do two reps. Rows should have some form of cheating, but it shouldnt be all legs and lower back.

>>40257220
Time under tension is very valid. Its the reason for why volume matters in training.
>You can just increase the reps or sets and you instantly get more time under tension.
exactly


You guys think this guy is right becuase he is big. yet all other good training coaches says otherwise.

>>40257305
I mean heavy doubles-triples with oly and some accessory oly lifts for substantial volume.

50ish reps per movement usually.

>>40257278
The bulgarian method fuck most people up.
The vast majority of people do not have the genetics nor steroids to help them through it.

>>40257117

>roiders can do nothing to have even slightly noticeable balls

>>40257318
Bulgarian method is fine if you actually do it correctly, the problem is most modern lifters think, "oh lifting everyday with compounds, lets use the weight I always use for my low rep work..." and then they die.

You obviously start with lower weights and don't increase until you adapt to the load retard. You should never be struggling in a workout because the goal is to never have CNS stress until you hit a competition.

>>40257358
>should never struggle in a workout
What did he mean by this?

>>40256706
dat nigga on some serious frogtech

>>40257373
The lifts should be enough to work the body but not enough that you "struggle, grind, or exert stressfully in training". You should comfortably complete all proscribed sets and methodically move up volume or weights every session until you hit the desired workload. You are often substantially below your competition lifts until a period 2-3 months before training where you first cycle down for a few weeks before working up towards maximal loads with fewer sessions immediately before the competition.

If you get burnt out or injured doing bulgarian you are trying to lift too heavy. Often you will be able to lift more than you do any given day and the urge to just go EGO and put on heavier weight should be resisted.. because you have a session tomorrow and the next day and the next day.

>>40257373
Bulgarian method done right is if each workout session has very low volume. Total weekly volume thus is more or less the same as any other programs. If daily volume is as high as regular programs and youre lifting 6x a week, you will die. Most people unfortunately dont even understand this.

>>40257358
First of all it usually takes years to be able to train the same muscles every day or have 2 workouts a day.
And second, only elite lifters on steroids dud bulgarian method. You only saw those who made it. Not the rest that couldnt handle it.

>>40257431
Anon, it doesn't take years to train the same muscles every day. You could do it right now if you lowered your weights or volume per session.

>>40257431
Do you take statistics or something? Why do you believe your opinion is a fact?

Omarisuf did bulgarian in the past and he looks natty to me. He isnt fucked up like how /fit/ says bulgarian will fuck you up.

>>40257407
I lift 6 times a week and have it laid out to at least 1 compound a day followed by bodybuilding accessory work, i go heavy on 1 select compound per day about 4/6 days of the week. Anywhere from 1.5 to 3 hour lift sessions.
Been doing it for awhile, am i going too crazy?

>>40257468
If its different muscle groups every day then its brosplits not bulgarian.

>smashing up the bar and pins with these mongo rack pulls

Why doesn't he just rack pull properly?

Bugengugenhagen can do this shit because he's actually strong and trains in his garage, doing this in a public gym is just cringe.

>>40257491
Oh okay. It has me sometimes do the same lift day after day but it will always be very lightwork and very little total volume the following day

>>40257314

That looks nothing like the actual Bulgarian method. Neither does >>40257395, but its a pretty good pseudo-Bulgarian approach if you don't have everything going for you that the real thing did.

>>40256980
>overloads the upper back
For what purpose? How does this benefit me?

>>40257627
For natural bodybuilding purposes of course. Dude is not a powerlifter.

>>40255764
kek this was all i was thinking about. people in the gym must hate his dumb ass. they probably feel bad bc hes an autists spewing shit bout his "alpha destiny" while chucking barbells around.

people who load that much weight on bars they don't own are fucking assholes.

Not him, but holy shit. That was not a rack pull above the knee, more like a rack lockout starting 2 inches below the hip. At risk are the knees, hips, SI, lumbar, and rest of spine. Due to being under a retarded amount of weight for zero training benefit.

Rack pulls start an inch or two above the knee, not at near lockout. Shrugs start higher but are also explosive. What he did is just DUMB.

>>40255607
>I dont believe in strict reps

outside of his perfect lighting pictures and youtube videos, he doesn't look more impressive than the top few percent of gym goers in this video

i don't care about his other meme shit he does, but doing 1100lb rackpulls and using every plate in the gym and permanently bending the barbell is absolutely dickheaded, and i at least hope he used a beater bar for this

>>40255607
Jesus christ, there's so many limp wristed cunts on this board. I'd expect this shit from estrogen-ridden redditors.

You call that shit a rack pull.

It moved less than a fucking inch. He didn't even pull with his back, looked more like someone stuck a dick up his ass and forced him to stand upright.

you all can talk shit but he made some pretty insane gains via egolifting, his back and traps are huge so there's definitey something to it

>>40260643
hahahaha you faggot

>>40261403
Do you honestly think his gains are somehow superior to other people who train with far less weight and with far better form?

Just think about it for a moment, I'm 100% sure he'd look exactly the same if he train in a much safer way.

I've heard of rack pulls before, but this is my first time ever actually seeing what they are. Lmao what is even the point of doing them? They have like a one-inch ROM. They're pussy deadlifts. Please tell me you guys don't waste your time with these.

>>40262766
I know it looks silly, but load up some heavy ass weight and do static holds for like 3 seconds at the top and it is the most sore my traps have ever felt, I wasn't even able to shrug my shoulders for a couple days. I really enjoy the look of large traps and forearms and this is a great way to build both of them.

Vs dead lifts, you are less likely to get injured and you are not limited by the strength of your glutes/hams

>>40262766
Because those are way above the knees rack pulls. It's basically only a thing AD and Eric Boogerheiminheiminschitt and people who watch them do.

I do about parallel with the knees or a little bit under because I'm too lazy to move my safeties, and don't have enough room for full deads in garage.

You can really make the rom whatever you want.
