Day 3 of 5 - Bodybuilding Contest Prep Arm Workout!!

[beschdmensch]

One question why do all the bodybuilders use bad form, i mean they use momentum to do the reps they could do it slowly with lighter weight?

[BigJsExtremeFitness]

@beschdmensch Good question. Some do some do not. You'll notice most of us over 250-300lbs use the Weider/Arnold, Mentzer/Yates Cheater, to failure, High Intensity, Blood and Guts approach. Slower with lighter weight does not compute to a bigger competitive bodybuilder.You just can't build that type of a physique with the strictest form. Those guys usually end up on the covers of GQ magazine. cut? Yes, Lean? Yes, 220lbs or less? Yes.. Nothing wrong with that, just not my style brother.

[suckureye]

[BigJsExtremeFitness]

@HabsFan081 Thanks brother.

[SnapCity1]

Big J I heard stretching before your workout can have a negative effect on your lifts (makes you weaker) I find that is the case for me, Does it effect you in any way?

[BigJsExtremeFitness]

@SnapCity1 Stretching helps me brother.

[ULikeMyVideoQc]

Almost 200 videos good job !

[BigJsExtremeFitness]

@ULikeMyVideoQc Thanks for the support brother.

[EveyoneLovesAwesome]

[BigJsExtremeFitness]

@EveyoneLovesAwesome Thanks brother.

[JordonSanchez]

BigJ what was your MOS? I see you have a Screaming Eagles hat in some of your videos.

[BigJsExtremeFitness]

@JordonSanchez 11B brother.

[JordonSanchez]

@BigJsExtremeFitness Same here, I was going to be stationed at Fort Bragg, North Carolina with the 82nd. That's cool!

[BigJsExtremeFitness]

@JordonSanchez INTENSE. Made hundreds of jumps into Bragg back in the 80's. We used to fly over and train with them and vise versa. Where are you at now brother.

[JordonSanchez]

@BigJsExtremeFitness I"m home now brother I got medically discharged! It was a very fun and rewarding experience.

[BigJsExtremeFitness]

@JordonSanchez All the best in your transition.

[JordonSanchez]

@BigJsExtremeFitness I'll keep up with your videos. I was a bodybuilder before i left now i have been bodybuilding again! thank for your videos

[BigJsExtremeFitness]

@JordonSanchez Awesome.  What contests did you compete at?

[JordonSanchez]

@BigJsExtremeFitness I was going to compete at the Mr. Nebraska but it didn't happen. I hope to be coming to Texas to train. Maybe I can stop at your gym!

[BigJsExtremeFitness]

@JordonSanchez Everyone is always welcome here. My schedule is crazy though please coordinate before you stop by. Sorry to hear you missed the Nebraska. Hope to see you onstage soon.

[wmontano8]

haha the German count was too funny lol, great vid and keep it up guys

your boy, Will

[BigJsExtremeFitness]

@wmontano8 danke schoen bruder!!

[antigavin]

Got a real quick question for you Bigj. Whats your take on cardio.Low intensity "fat burn" verses HIT? Which if any would you use as a complement to getting in shape for a show. I realise you are very busy so if you have time it would be greatly appreciated as there are so many conflicting views. cheers mate and keep up the good work:)

[BigJsExtremeFitness]

@antigavin Sent you a video on that topic. Bottom line is depends on how lean do you want to be. Can't get onstage with low intensity cardio. HOWEVER you can look good.

[Bracerjack]

Inspiring

[seanc2462]

This is a great series, thanks for the videos will be looking forward to the shoulder workout!!

[BigJsExtremeFitness]

@seanc2462 Thanks brother. Filming shoulders tonight.

[URBNSpice]

For your tri pull downs or w/e, do you recc that little bounce you have? I keep my hands pretty stationary. i use to do that little bounce, and people have told me to try to avoid it. thoughts?

[BigJsExtremeFitness]

@URBNSpice Safety and INTENSITY. If you have competed professionally....are growing or are huge and you have the little bounce without injury.......and the people that are telling you to avoid the little bounce have never competed and are not swole........You see where I'm going with this right brother?? Ha, ha.

[danielnator]

I know you guys use a lot of weight for everything but man that's a LOT of weight for the overhead extensions, with good form even, impressive. Maybe some skull crushers next week?

[BigJsExtremeFitness]

@danielnator Thanks brother.

[Gmoneymozart]

"Pause at the bottom explode to the top and SQUEEZE"!!!!

[BigJsExtremeFitness]

@Gmoneymozart With INTENSITY!!

[fingerlickingoodism]

man, you guys listen to the best music! sounds like my mp3 player!

[BigJsExtremeFitness]

@fingerlickingoodism Thanks brother.

[BigShotLDN]

Hey BigJ, would u recommend grip training for people working out less than 6 months? or is it better for advance bodybuilders, if so how long should someone be training before starting? thanks.

[BigJsExtremeFitness]

@BigShotLDN Start grip training NOW brother. Never too early to train grip. Most grip experts are not bodybuilders at all.

[woogar]

Strongmanseth is always in jeans, old skool!

[mightyjoelaith]

Seth has really come into his own by the way, props to him!

[BigJsExtremeFitness]

@mightyjoelaith Yes he has brother.

[BigJsExtremeFitness]

@mightyjoelaith I heard he has an INTENSE teacher....Ha, ha.

[mightyjoelaith]

Holy crap, run over by a Humvee? Please tell us more Big J, seems like you have plenty of stories about overcoming adversity. 

[BigJsExtremeFitness]

@mightyjoelaith Way back when I was a youngin'......Ha, ha. Stay tuned for more interviews and past stories with me whenever I get bored and have nothing else interesting to record.

[Ji99i3]

[BigJsExtremeFitness]

@Ji99i3 Thanks brother.

[Dakdizzy]

[BigJsExtremeFitness]

[BigJsExtremeFitness]

@CampbellFitness Thanks brother. Enjoying producing the Bodybuilding Contest prep videos Lots of information on bodybuilding that I feel I need to shed some light on.

[zackattack699]

Man Seth would look so freakin ripped if he cut his body fat down.

[lloyd011721]

@zackattack699 ... everyone would look so freakin ripped if they trimmed their bodyfat down lol

[NaturalMuscularity]

[rctriplefresh5]

doubt ' win that grip contest since never train grip...but i still have a great grip..i' enter if it were online

[rctriplefresh5]

lo i can't find his channel? anyway nice work jay...arms were looking huge on those tri extensions.

[rctriplefresh5]

i can;t enter the paul93 contest through youtube can I? I'm guessing it's in texas where you are?

[BigJsExtremeFitness]

@rctriplefresh5 PaulKnight3. Yes in Texas. LOTS of grip monsters at these contest. Thanks for the complements on the arms brother.

[lambo5277]

Is this sort of like the 5/3/1 program? I am not sure how that works? Thanks for sharing

[BigJsExtremeFitness]

@lambo5277 I do not know what the 5/3/1 program is.......But this is the Big J INTENSE program and it works brother.

[boby6]

Nice a lot of new cable variations I haven't seen before. After this week you should do a series on how to step up certain muscle groups. For example have a chest day, but what it would look like for someone who is trying to build up their upper chest more. Shoulders how to focus on still bring up all around shoulders, but focusing more on rear delt. Routines to bring up most peoples weaker muscles I think would be a cool series.

[BigJsExtremeFitness]

@boby6 Thanks for the support brother.

[kaysee326]

squat curls - if you didn't have the easy bar and cable in the shot, i'd think you were pooping :)

[BigJsExtremeFitness]

@kaysee326 Yes squat curls brother.

[thiscannotbestopped]

I know this is probably a common question, but does your gym have shirts? If so, how would I go about obtaining one? Great video Big J!

[BigJsExtremeFitness]

@thiscannotbestopped I do but am out. I've said I'd be ordering a hundred times but have not gotten around to it. Once I order I will let everyone know then give chances to get them. Thanks for the support.

[kostasphil]

Jay do you feel pain when you are at your full ROM or you cannot go further??

[BigJsExtremeFitness]

@kostasphil Can not go any further and lots of pain.

[Gooknukem]

[stackindatpapa]

[BigJsExtremeFitness]

@stackindatpapa Depends on what your goals are. This program worked for me for years with INTENSE results. May be too much for others. This is a true BODYBUILDERS workout to get ready to step onstage brother.
