I've always been obsessed with biking (more the gravel, xc endurance, enduro, downhill etc side of things) and I've always wondered, why do the majority of the best riders look so ill and frail and underweight that I wouldn't be able to tell that I was standing next to an exceptional athlete? I really hope that the majority of them aren't under eating and under strength training to hit like a certain weight class or are too worried or obsessed with staying lighter for more speed/aero. I literally find it refreshing just to see a thick rider who looks like they aren't afraid to train to get big. I've always wanted to toss this question at a forum or something, I just want to know why almost no XC, gravel, road rider looks like they really got into strength training

the best thing i did was dropping deadlifts and doing it once a week if that. I Love deadlifting but realizing how taxing it was after taking a whole week deload my squat sessions became insanely easier and was able to do more reps. I also got stronger on bench. I can still lift the same on deadlift if not more and i do them whenever at this point. Or i tend to just go at a weight sufficient for maintenance or a little more than that. For me i love the gym alot would do 7 days a week and stopped it because of this thing called catabolic which i had no idea about. Enjoying the process and my progress has become a lot more linear after taking days off from the gym.

Re: "You are not gonna be the top guy..." This piece of advice is full of wisdom! Thank you so much! However, I myself have some idea to remedy this unrealistic thought. I think after considering a few unfavorable conditions, and to set a really high goal for oneself maybe still OK! For example, one person feel eagerly to bench press at least 500 pound in his weight class. However, he's already turned 51 & could barely bench Press (two)one-plates, he may doing some math manipulation, some of this weight-class competitors start at the age of 20 yrs-young. Then, the realistic goal becomes 500×[The square root of (20/50)]=500×.63=315Lbs. I think the above target for a newly-entry untrained person is comparatively realistic than Setting-500 -BenchPress goal.

I do think completely changing your workout style could also work. But personally... after lifting for 31 years... I think taking a month completely off every year will ultimately make you stronger. Whatever strength I lose comes back with in a month, and when I was younger I would always get stronger than I was before... quicker than I was making progress before the break. At 43 I stopped getting stronger, but am still able to get back to the same strength within a month. I just feel like if you are pushing your body to the limit... a month off a year is more beneficial than not. Imo

There is a reason it is being pushed like it is... and a lot of that reason is control and dependence. Having all of the alpha males manhood in the hands of big pharma is not a good idea IMO. I am totally against it! Honestly... I never lifted for strength... I always lifted for size. So I dont even try to max out anymore. As it is I can do 315 x 3 on bench when I am at peak bulk, and that is really the most I have tried in 4 years.

I remember him briefly talking about loading types on there. I'm not sure what exact context he was speaking about, if it was short term or long term. My guess would be that there might be something like a peaking effect with wave loading within the wave, where the neurological changes are more fleeting?? No idea if that's actually a thing and I would also wager that the differences would be too minor to notice.

9:49 While for most that may be true, after 3 months of training I'm somewhere around top 5 in terms of overall strength in my gym and may well be top dog at a few exercises, notably one armed seated and upright cable rows, where I've managed to max out all the cable machines. I'd quite like to attain the top spot in my town of roughly 50k people; perhaps that might be doable within a year or so if my progress doesn't plateau. Once I'm closer to that goal, it might be time to start actually competing and get my ass handed to me by the best lifters from my region (Transylvania) and then from those around the country (I live in Romania, so I'd have to out-lift ~19 million people... unlikely, but hey, I _can_ try). That said, I'd actually be happy to have more really strong guys both at our gym and in our town in general. That way, when I do eventually compete, I'd be better prepared for the difficulty level of national competitions. Plus, maybe someone might want to train with me at some point; that would be nice. PS: Don't worry, if by some minor miracle I do eventually become 'top guy' at the national level, I certainly won't be angry in that letter. More likely, thankful - I've learned a lot from your videos and I quite enjoy the excellent writing of your scrips as well.

Arthur Jones actually spoke about the fact that Casey Viator had recently won a bodybuilding contest, stopped training for some time and lost significant mass/weight. He also pointed out that Casey had an accident at work and got a serious infection losing another 30+ lbs. Jones also had pointed out that he was dealing with an above average bodybuilder. When you’re upfront about all these things like he was, it’s not a scam. He showed how fast muscle can be regrown and with fairly limited volume and frequency and very high “intensity”. But yet, Internet personalities ignore all that and still claim Jones was some sort of huckster. 🙄

He also had Casey intentionally diet down for 6 weeks beforehand to maximize the potential "gains", as did he. They also leaned on the final body fat reading of 2.4% from 13 at the start, which is beyond ludicrous. He printed thousands of brochures to promote the results to sell his equipment and the headlines weren't "use Nautilus to exploit muscle memory.". It was "gain 63lbs of muscle in 28 days". He was the V shreds of his day.

I just showed how he was upfront about the most salient points of the whole experiment: Casey was close to 50 lbs down from his previous contest weight, had superior genetics and was rebuilding previously-built mass.
