pretty obvious he's natty

>>42141087
also
>not that lean
>230lbs bodyweight which is ezpz since hes 6'2 minus half inch given his muscle mass and some fat

i think hes natty
his biggest sumo deadlift was in lowlow 700lbs

if he wouls be roiding he would be pulling in thousands. He is doing the meme exercises because he knows he cant get over those barriers on conventional lifts

well minus bench but he had a shoulder i jury and he says flat bench with regular bar fucks him over

>hurr durr he doesnt care about conventional lifts

he does, but memelifts and unconventional (doesnt mean bad) approach are his shtick

>>42141015
>>42141087

I know, that's why I asked. The dude that said that has no actual reasons.

>>42141134
>are his shtick

I think it's a bit of both. His whole training philosophy is:
>pick compound exercise
>work up to non-grinding max daily
>pick new exercise when plateaued, or get bored

You can't really cycle through deads, squats, and bench over and over without just hitting another plateau immediately when you're that close to the natty limit. Where as if you do a meme lift, you can build some strength in other areas, not get bored, keep motivation high because it's easy to build strength in new movement patterns, and make a bit of overall forward progression.

Now contrast that with manletdestiny - who basically ripped of Eric and is a giant insecure joke. He does memelifts to look strong to sell his ebook. That's the real reason he didn't do Hemingway's challenge, he couldn't. Then you see the 700lbs trap bar deadlift a month later. Everything he preaches is shit he's ripped off from Eric, but doesn't even understand why Eric does what he does.

>>42141201
breh, even jim wendler tells you to try out all the variations for bench/squat/deadlift.

I was already aware of deadlift behind the back /hack squat before eric because of wendler's 5/31

>>42141352
not his point

Sure you can, Eric is basically following the old school Bulgarian method. The reason he's able to progress is that he is doing essentially the same few lifts over and over again, which when the exercise is performed 5-6 times per week adds up to a lot of cumulative volume.

You could achieve essentially the same maxing out on say squats every day. The modern Bulgarian method, involving a few back-off sets following your daily max is an even more efficient way to achieve this.

>>42141477
Impratical as fuck unless home gym or making a living off lifting.

>>42141538
Why? Each session is actually quite quick.

so basically
>move less weight and less often and you will make gains
k

seems more like if you actually focus on progressing all your accessories and main lifts, you will progress so long as you do them right and eat enough food.

>>42141477
he also does back off sets afterwards

thats what he told me to do

except i had more variety than going 1 exercise balls to the wall

but exercise selection still revolved around improving deadlift

this guy is strong as fuck but watching him lift is so far away from the poetry of say, an olympic lifter etc. even his dips are lopsided and crooked. its weird, man. maybe he should focus a little more on technique as well as brute strength.

>>42141639
>less weight

nice comprehension

>>42141642
Ah ok, so he does do the more modern variety. It's a sound method because it produces a very high amount of training volume, while maintaining technique due to high frequency and each individual session being less taxing. The exercise variations aren't really necessary for it to work, that's just something he does because he likes it.

>>42141699
>focus on your your compounds, ignore accessories/isolation
>so unless you slap on an extra 3-5 sets, you are missing all that extra weight from accessories you are moving
I'm sure doing a lazy bench and deadlift only workout will make you get gains.
this is curlbro tier advice.
>just do this one exercise and get good at it, that's all that matters bro
k

>>42141477
>You could achieve essentially the same maxing out on say squats every day

For how long? See >pick new exercise when plateaued.
You didn't really refute anything. If you do a daily max on deads until progress stops, then bench, then squat, then start over on deads you're not going to make much progress because it's probably only been a few weeks to a month since you left off.

That's why his exercise selection is so high. He just picks a movement he's hyped to do, and maxes daily until he plateaus or get's bored - which is why he makes such amazing progress so quickly.

1) It's a new movement pattern. So the CNS can build motor pathways to express strength.
2) Motivation and specific focus on 1 movement leads to insane intensity
3) 1 + 2 lead to fast gains which further supports 2.

>is an even more efficient way to achieve this.
I'm not going to argue which is better, because there's no way to know. But just because you read Nuckol's book on bulgarian, who self admittedly says he has minimal experience with this, and doesn't see it as a long term programming method (because he's only applying it to 2 movements), or a replacement for traditional programming, doesn't mean you know either.

>>42141731
>I'm sure doing a lazy bench and deadlift only workout will make you get gains.
Sure you will, as long as the total volume is sufficient, which is essentially what Bugenhagen is doing, he just organizes it into several intense sessions rather than fewer longer ones.

i need rest days in between performing the same heavy movements

given the above it's more optimal to train more than 2 lifts each session but i do seem to respond better to a smaller range of lifts rather than trying to hit a body part with 10 different lifts each time. something like 3-6 lifts per session is good

>>42141731
>I'm sure doing a lazy bench and deadlift only workout will make you get gains
>lazy

Except you forgot:
>intensity goes through the roof, working up to a max on those one or two lifts
>frequency goes through the roof doing the above every day

Your comprehension is terrible.

>>42141746
so yea
instead of doing 3x5 or 5x12 or whatever, do 8x16 I guess to get that same volume you had when you add a couple simple accessories to your workout. makes sense. or better yet, instead of getting in, doing the work, getting out in and hour and a half, and spending the next day relaxing, just go in every day to do the same shit every day/other day.
that sounds better

seriously, roid heads don't know shit about fitness. all their opinions are irrelevant.

>>42141744
>For how long?
Theoretically forever. This is an old and quite tested method, it's not something Eric came up with. The variation does not factor in in any significant way, it's just something he himself enjoys doing.

And I concede about the back-offs as Bugenhagen is essentially doing the same. And I didn't know Nuckols even experimented with this, I'm coming at it from a weightlifting perspective.

>>42141767
>two exercises
>not lazy
you can do all the volume you want, it's still lazy curlbro tier shit.
>intensity through the roof
not unless you are doing an unholy amount of reps/sets.

>>42141768
Rep ranges don't matter for volume really. And just about all good barbell athletes train this way.

And sure, you can add in accessories if you want, who says you can't?

>>42141788
>who says you can't?
the roid monkey this thread was made to discuss

>>42141769
>Theoretically forever.
You just proved you're fucking retarded. Brb with my 1,000lbs squat in 6 months.

>>42141778
>volume is intensity

>>42141754
he says that you shouldnt take days off

even if you are super sore or shit, try a different exercise you never tried before because you woulsnt be able to max out on it anyway or do different rep range

>>42141800
Well you'll eventually hit the brick wall that is genetics, lmao.
>>42141797
I'm not really familiar with his system, just the Bulgarian system which is essentially what he is doing.

What I would suggest personally, pick 1-2 lifts (I count front squat and back squat as one "type" as well as the classic lifts another) and keep one upper accessory slot and one lower.

Eventually you could also add in an evening GPP session, but this generally won't be necessary until you are already very very strong.

>>42141744
A natural is not going to be able to max out every day. They just aren't.

Besides, them lifting whatever in the gym because they want to? It's a time of exploration and personal growth.
Let them lift however they want.

And if they want to get big but don't understand how then give them a basic as fuck weight lifting program that's all about bodybuilding reps hits everything directly, and gives them that pump that lets them feel larger and look big in the mirror

If they want to get strong then just give them a simple powerlifting program that lets them feel and know by how they put more weight on the bar every week like their getting stronger.

Simple as.

>>42141832
>A natural is not going to be able to max out every day. They just aren't.
It's not a true max, but a daily max, very important distinction.

>>42141832
Did you type natural instead of beginner? Because no one is saying beginners should do this, and being natty isn't even relevant.

>Eric proves you can do just that for years now with many different lifts

Only thing you cannot really do daily is strain your lower back over and over daily.
He said that manymany times. Theres a reason theres plenty of programs where you can squat daily but none where you do conventional deadlift.

different shit with trapbar, behind the back or jefferson diddly where bar(or weight center) is directly under your back and spine is only compressed not under shear force

ill include novice example program screencap he made for patreon followers.

mind you its a "beginner" program and it doesnt have insane intensity and it does have quite a lot of volume.

>>42141880
big lifts, eat big (gomad), aesthetics come with strength

>>42141821
> he says that you shouldnt take days off
lol there's no way that's happening. there's no bigger focus killer than being too sore to lift and studies don't support not taking rest days. trying to "push through pain" circumvents your body's natural ability to prevent injury through resting.

the thing i see is he's moving massive numbers now but he's pretty close to being maxed out on all his lifts. his "new pr's" are little more than form cheats.

he's basically max on everything and trains one lift everyday because he's not making gains from it. when you see him go from 600 -> 800 lbs in a week on a lift, he already had that 800 in him and he already done it before. it's just muscle memory. he may make some small token improvement to his pr's in the process of training every day but yeah, no.

>>42141919
>so he basically says do the 70s big or /thicc/ mode workouts?

>how is that anywhere near what he said?

>diet lmao

Nigga learn English. Maxing out daily one 1-2 lifts until plateaued and cycling movements isn't anything like what you posted.

What we all can learn from EB, is no programming, no dieting, roids will do shit unless you have mindset to achieve shit.

The moment you doubt yourself you lost

>>42141837
Then he should clarify.
A single set of lifting something relatively heavy every day but stopping before complete failiure builds deep down oldman strength that will only fade when everything else has begun to and you're on your way to the grave.

Going balls to her clit hard on it everyday = wrecked body.

>>42141852
Yes it does matter.
A natural is not the same as an enhanced athlete. I don't care what kind of justifications you use to tell yourself the opposite.
Enhanced athletes are metahuman and have abilities normals do not have. The way they train and lift and levels of performance even is beyond what all natural people outside of the true genetic superbeings(who even then have a short shelf life and usually excel at one thing because of their life and unique physiology) can attain or even hope to attain.

congratz you discovered what is meaning of neuromuscular efficiency and why does bulgarian system benefit from this effect the most.

>>42141982
you also forgot to mention that those superhuman athletes also have great genetics behind them and they had great performance before drug usage

its not as simple as blasting steroids and hoping for the best buddy

>>42140594
I always suspected that focusing on one or two lifts each session would result in dramatic progress. If I focused on squat and deadlift for the next 2 months I'd make insane progress in both movements. But the question remains, what about your strength in the other lifts? You can't just focus on squat and deadlift while disregarding say bench and ohp. Then you'll have an imbalanced physique. You'll lose your upper body strength. I'm all or specializing in lifts, but it's only optimal if your whole body is being trained.

>>42141949
The dude is on gear. He's either forgotten or has no idea of what a natural is going through.
He can push through it because the drugs have made him an inhuman who can punish his body and make decent gains.

>>42141964
interesting... I can squat 4 plate but i cant do 3 plate for a lot of reps

>>42141982
>Yes it does matter.

Not when it comes to training knowledge, which is what your entire post was about you dipshit. And going into a workout and doing the best you can each session isn't possible natty? Bulgarian light has had plenty of success with natties...

Training is a balance between intensity, frequency and volume. You can go apeshit on any two, or strike a balance between them and see great results. This is just high frequency, high intensity, low volume training.

Let me guess, you couldn't reach 1/2/3/4 and had to /fraud/ to make any real progress and now you think that anyone with reasonable success is also /fraud/ing? Spoiler, you're just fucking weak because you don't know how to actually push yourself, eat, or both.

>>42141832
bullshit m8. it's not a genuine 1RM, but more like 90-95%x1. this can be done daily

>>42142066
i mean the ratio is little bit off,

>2/3 plate
>3/4 plate

so it might be harder to do. I know Eric used to squat 6 plates (high 500s) and recently he did above 3 plates for 20 reps.

It aint pretty tho. takes certain level of grit to do 10 grinding reps in row

>>42140594
how would you train then using his philosophy, what sets, reps etc

>>42142030
>405 lb bulgarian split squat
>"progress"
this exactly what i'm talking about. this guy can already pull an upwards of 1000 lbs from the floor in a knee dominant lift. his quads are already strong as fuck. you can guess based on this fact that he will easily progress any knee dominant movement. to a comparable level in a short period of time. he's either intentionally starting each lift well below what he know he can achieve to make it look like "progress" or he thinks he's making serious progress and is unaware how muscular strength works.

like i said he's already maxed out in all his lifts. his body parts are all almost as strong as they can be. just takes a few sessions for muscle memory to acclimate any given lift to what he had already achieved before.

so how did he get to the way he is now? i dunno but i'm leary of someone trying to trick me or is that unaware of how strength works. recommending everyone lift heavy every day doesn't work. you'll break down harder faster and hurt yourself.

-blaha signing out

>>42142135
You warm up , you do your daily max and if you feel like it you do some dropsets.
Repeat daily until you can't make progress or are bored

>>42142080
I reached 1234 dicking around in a gym and being a corn and pig meat fed country boy who played sports. At 16.

I also got heavily into it and saw major golden age bodybuilder type gains..but I was also sick every fucking year at the exact same times, was always pissed, stressed, depressed, and started to hallucinate, and it was usually when football season started, and I was always exhausted, and slept constantly and could do little more then eat exercise sleep and do homework and play ball.
I rarely did anything else.

Giving susceptible dumb young men the go ahead to just overtrain while forgetting where you started and how the body doesn't work the way a geared persons body works is terrible.

>>42142154
>lift heavy every day doesn't work. you'll break down harder faster and hurt yourself.

Yeah. If you do any movement over and over and over you're going to get injured. That's why his exercise selection is a library.

>>42142135
look up bulgarian method, that's what he does

>>42142172
i watched the video. he literally said lift heavy every day. that shit don't work for a natty. i'm still sore from my last session two days ago sometimes it takes even longer.

>>42142185
it doesn't work if you're inexperienced. i.e under 3 years of consistent lifting. if you've been doing a movement for that long, you can grease the groove & work pretty close to your 1RM without burning out.

>>42142185
Did you do a 1rm or did you do a lot of volume?

yeah thought so

>>42142185
do not fucking deadlift everyday. I could squat, bench and ohp every day and i'm past 1/2/3/4

Deadlift is a fucking bitch gets me sore for 48h

>>42142169
Then you don't know how to manage your training within your work capacity and recovery capacity. Do you really think gear is the deciding factor for this kind of training?

You realize it enhances muscular recovery, and doesn't do shit for the soft tissues, tendons, and ligaments? A geared lifter doing this is more likely to injure themselves than a natty. A natty will will plateau and have to pick a new exercise. A geared lifter won't know when his soft tissue can't keep up and eventually - pop.

Just going to repeat this again because you have no idea what you're talking about:

Training is a balance between intensity, frequency and volume. You can go apeshit on any two, or strike a balance between them and see great results. This is just high frequency, high intensity, and very low volume training.

>>42142205
well i guess you can call me inexperienced then as im just under 3 years but i don't see this changing over the long run either. im in my 30s now. sometimes i need more/less time to recover. my body doesn't work like a robot the same each time. i sure as hell am never going to lift heavy every day.

>>42142247
I like how your argument changed from it not being possible natty to not being possible bc you're "old". Keep your mouth shut if you don't know what the fuck you're talking about.

>>42142247
you're *rarely* maxing out. people do it with pullups/push ups all the time- every day, but never to failure. you can do the same thing with compound movements. always keep 1-2 reps in the tank and you're less likely to burn out- especially if you're properly cooling down, & getting massaged regularly.

>>42142273
my argument never changed. the rest time needed increases when you get older this is a fact. being younger decreases the needed if you're well trained. youth does not eliminate the need to rest entirely.
>>42142294
> you're *rarely* maxing out
some lifts i need to max out regularly or my back will feel like shit.

>>42140594

>youth does not eliminate the need to rest entirely.

It's training stimulus and work capacity that dictates required rest.

>>42142232
You don't get it.
This guy is telling dumb young dudes to go hard on compound lifts every day.
He doesn't describe what that means accurately.
So in many of those dudes minds, they'll think that running themselves into the ground ON TOP of whatever they're doing is going to pay big dividends.

That makes the dudes out there feel like bad asses and feeds into whatever bullshit is driving them to do the things they do.
It's a bad idea unless he spends some time describing EXACTLY what he means and puts his foot down on the neck of any potential stupid bullshit idea that leads them down a path of destruction.

Fucking recovery is not just about the joints keeping up. That's only one thing.
It's about their immune system becoming weak, it's about their emotions running amok, it's about their quality of life hitting the toilet, it's about their gains coming to a screeching halt along with everything else because their bodies are saying "Fuck that shit, I'm tired".

>>42142354
> nearly no volume
what's this >>42142030
routine then ?

>>42140594
yeah but what if I want to get better at not just one but 4 or even 5 exercises?

I don't want to neglect everything for deadlifts.

This is true if you are natty.

So many people obsess over acessory shit, while it doesnt fucking matter, it only matters for pumping up the blood, you should rather focus on compounds.

Push day:

Flat Bench
1 pump exercise for shoulders and chest
1 pump exercise for tris

Thats it. You can do your acessory shit for year and u wont put any serious size, instead try focusing on bench, go from 225 to 315 and then see the size

>>42142393
he literally said to focus on one exercise and focus on it 100% instead of doing a lot of shit at once

He was a D1 wrestler and he said they were ran into ground 3 times each day during training.
>>42142415
first exercise of the day is the most "important" one, rest is just accessories

He is not AGAINST volume and doing few exercises at once. But he says you should pick 1 and focus on it and attack it with maximum intensity whereas the rest is just accessory.

Take his words with grain of salt.

>>42142415
That's something he's prescribed for a client with specific goals, and doesn't really pertain to the OP video where he gives out a general recommendation. However, this still supports exactly what I said.

Since you don't know shit about training, I'll break it down.

2 days they're working up to a max. High intensity, very low volume.
2 days they're doing high volume, low intensity.
2 days they're working up to a max, but on a movement that inherently has less intensity.
1 day rest

So all high frequency, but volume and intensity are heavily traded off.

The accessory work is all either movements that can't use a lot of weight: RDL, snatch grip DL, or pressing and rows at moderate volumes and intensity.

There's nothing crazy about this program.

>>42142441
>while it doesnt fucking matter, it only matters for pumping up the blood, you should rather focus on compounds
this is the kind of people that gives advice on /fit/. Acessory exercises are as important or even more important than compounds for aesthetics, you will never in your life see a bodybuilder that does compounds only, not even a strongman, retarded

>>42142535

Well the video is just about upping you numbers

Which only doing one lift will up that number.

Sadly most of fit only give a shit about meeting some 1/2/3/4 goal

>>42142520
>volume and intensity are heavily traded off


L E L

Working out 6 days in a row where ever day you're either working up to a 1rm + mega volume or doing a 20rm + 3 different mega high volume lifts is literally an intensity + volume session, every single day. That's going to be way harder than most routines you will find online.

people think from his vids you can just warm up your one lift and push that lift as hard as you can then swap it to another next time you stall. but actually he's doing crazy volume, intensity and effort every single day.

>>42141087
>>42141134

ok so i was doing this and very similar structured program for 3 months

ask me anything because hardest part of doing it was learning the exercises and actually going to commercial gym 6 times a week.

now i have home gym and i cut down exercises even more,still following same principles


today i just did conv deadlifts (from 1 plate to 1rm, and then some backoff sets) and chinups just to get more biceps.

Tomorrow i will do wide stance box squats (for deadlift) and bench to stimulate chest. Same approach.

Doing everything at once is a meme.
Focus one one thing and make it fucking count

>>42141731
If literally all you did was bench and deadlift, you would be thick, big, and relatively strong for any day-to-day activity. You could argue OHP would be better than bench and you might be right, but you would also be an fagget.

> hardest part of doing it was learning the exercises
what is your 1rm on these lifts like 1plate? fuck off.

>>42142419
Rotate, or hit one and then hit the other for higher reps. Like deadlift or front squat to a daily max, do two or three down sets, then bench for something like 6x8

>>42142765
>what is reading comprehension

>>42142535
Bodybuilders and strongmen are all on steroids. I guarantee you eight weeks focused on bringing up your DL numbers and dialing in your technique would make your back look better than whatever you're doing now.

>>42142765
have you ever done zercher deadlift from the floor?

im ar 1/2/3/4 btw

>>42142798
my lats are never sore after bent over rows or weighted chins

Since i started really squeezing lats during deadlift variations and bending bar on my shins my lats are sore af everytime

>>42142839
nothing has ever ever hit my lats as hard as jefferson deadlift. that shit MURDERS your lats.

Wouldn't you get injured though? I mean, you're trying to beat your max every single day so most likely your form is gonna be ass. Every time I've tried to force progression by adding more weight weekly, I just end up with all kinds of injuries. I guess you'd recover faster with roids?

>>42140594
does he have a program that uses only a barbell and plates, no squat rack or dumbbells

>>42142857
yeah especially on stretching side
i actually strained my lats a bit when i was trying them. And i didnt even go super hard.

>>42143002
yes

get good at deadlifting

>>42142664
>>42142722
incorrect is too verbose

>>42142989
>hurr i throw barbells around and get hurt
>if only i could find a way to do the one extra rep extra slow and hard

>>42143112
b-but who was legs?

>>42143151
do deficit snatch grip deadlift

>>42143151
do deficit behind the back deadlift

>>42143118
>one extra rep slow and hard

It's about increasing the weight dipshit. If you're struggling with the weight, your form is going to suffer or you just aren't going to get the weight up.

Have you ever hit failure on OHP? The bar is not going up if you're hitting failure. You might get it up with some horrendous back movement, but at that point your form is terrible. Same thing with bench. If you're not getting the bar up, your shoulders are going to start getting out of position.

You're not going to hit snap city right away just by doing that a couple of times, but doing it every single day sure will.

>>42142989
DAILY MAX

DAILY

That means the MAX you can do THAT DAY. Sometimes that is indeed a PR, sometimes you'll match your PR and sometimes you'll hit a little less, it is completely impossible to PR every single session and that's not the point either, the point is to hit one (1) heavy lift each day, the heaviest possible weight you can manage that day WITHOUT form breakdown and with SPEED, and then do back off sets based off of that lift. It's simply a different approach to structuring your training, one which has been wildly successful in many contexts.

>>42143275
Eric doesnt sacrifice his form that much though

sure hes explosive af at his deadlifts, and sometimes dips look sketchy, but thats 1rm. He does also backoff sets with no weight or much less weights and i can assure you he does those with perfect form


in general what he told me to do is
1) begin with low weight and progress up to your 1rm, this is your "warmup"
if its rows, you are allowed to cheat, and use most weight possible, form breakdown allowed
2) afterwards do backoff sets based off 1rm calculator (rep ranges depending on exercise but typically 8x55% 6x65% 4x70% 3x80% 2x85% for heavy compounds) but here keep form strict

It has worked for me and is veryeasy to do once you get familiar with 1rm calc app, and you know what weights are you capable of using and how to make quick warmup sets

>>42143401
i think its called autoregulation

Chris Duffin is a big advocate of this, except he uses tools that measure velocity of the bar to quantify "difficulty level" of the lift and potential strength for given day. they also factor in subjective athlete feedback.

Apparently for a experienced lifter that has very stable movement patterns this velocity based training can be very good way to make progress, without using percentages.

like when he was doing the 1002lbs deadlift according to statistics he could hit 2 and half rep, lo and behold he did exactly that.

You can learn alot about VBT and autoregulation from strength chat podcasts on Duffin yt. Shit is amazing

>>42143497
Call it whatever you want, RPE, auto-regulation whatever, this specific method however is the modern version of the system employed by Ivan Abadjiev as the coach of the Bulgarian weightlifting team.

>>42143686
what about asking the person doing the bloodwork

or go ask in fraud

>>42143562
yeah they mention it in the podcasts

>>42140594
is there a better looking (face) fitness guru on the internet?

>>42144360
Clenner Murphy, unironically.

>>42141134
>if he was roiding he would be pulling in the thousands

he wouldn't even be fucking CLOSE to DLing 1000lbs+

do you know how fucking insane that would be?

>>42140594
Okay then since i'm still somewhat in noob gains phase im gonna do the following for a month, see if i make big gains

A
Bench Press
Barbell Rows

B
Deadlift
Squat/Overhead Press

Does /fit/ just homo lust for this guy or what?

I did gomad, it just made me fat

>>42144951

He means with all three (squat, DL, bench).

>>42142030
More of these?

>>42140594

Can someone give me an idea as to how to program Bulgarian Light? I've tried it before with a few exercises and made some great gains on my deadlift, but I feel like maybe I should be smarter about how I approach things. If my main goal is to improve my deadlift, should I pick one deadlift variation, work up to my max everyday, and leave? And after that cycle of deadlifts, choose a different variation? Or should I move to an upper body movement instead to give my lower body a rest?

Also I fucking love Eric full homo

>>42145800
do the lift every day fucko, how hard is it to figure out, maybe do like a lift "group" so say you want deadlift, you can do deficit, sldl, competition lift, block pull, opposite stance, sgdl etc.

I do this with squats, I front squat 4/week and back squat 2/week

Please tell me someone has a back up of all his old vids

>>42142820
not that guy, but fuck man I love doing zerchers from the floor. It was the first thing I did on bulgarian. added 80 lbs in 4 days

>>42142185
The reason you're sore isn't because you're not resting enough, it's because your frequency is likely too low. People that squat 3 days a week never feel leg DOMs - it's because they're conditioned to not feel that shit. Do higher frequency and after a week, you won't feel sore at ALL.

>>42142030
sure lifting for 2 hours, no problem

>>42144951
he trap bar deadlifted 1000 lbs iirc. not sure of yt ate that vid or not.

my mobility is so bad i cant even get into starting position from floor

had to set it up on small blocks
>>42145065

>>42144951
ofc im just ballparking
but he would be stronger than he is rn

>>42147674
Lmao nigga he's jacked but eddie hall makes this guy look like a twink and you think he can out-deadlift eddie if he just took some gear? He's already strong as fuck, meaning there's a good chance he's on gear.

>>42144992
Lol, post your body you faggot

>>42149193
He'd be well within the 850-900lb range of he was on gear
