[62890ballplaya]

metallica : )

[silbaar]

LOOK AT THE THUMBS. THIS IS A SILLY WRONG TECHNIQUE. WHY RISK??? USE THUMBS CORRECTLY

[bicmyflic25]

bodybuilder video with metallicas unforgiven played on a violen okeeee fuckin dokeeeee!

[steriods4champions]

he's even got the gum, the gloves, the same kind of tank top. fucking wanna be coleman

[rippertrap]

baller527 in what world do you live? even arnold did use steroids to build his mass

without steroids there is no bodybuilding as you know it

[steriods4champions]

this guy thinks he's ronnie coleman. not even close

[Baller527]

I can't believe you guys are justifying steroids and saying their ok. Using steroids to win a competition is like using aimbot in an MLG COD tournament. Fucking losers use steroids. Oh and there ILLEGAL and unnatural

[rafael77687able]

obviously he off season....

[lbdeftones]

this song is Apocalyptica - The Unforgiven

[zztop12790]

this guys has a great build from what i see, all i would critic would be his rear delts and traps they make his shoulders look to narrow compared to his lats, anterior delts and arms otherwise this guys would have a chance to be a top pro contender

[pellepellecorps]

this guy was big as hell.. what eva happened to him?

[martin1234512345]

his chest looks gross

[Mrbeatingsyou]

what is up with his chest is it hair or steroid abuse?

[MBryantFFNY]

@Mrbeatingsyou Im assuming its hair because.. thats how black men's hair grows on their chest.. but who knows with this guy..probably a mix but.. who knows

[Mrbeatingsyou]

@MBryantFFNY haha lol probably right but true who nows :L : )

[steriods4champions]

@Mrbeatingsyou i think its hair, black guys body hair looks like that

[henryfootball52]

the fat guy spotter cracks me up

[ELkORji]

huge tri's

[ro66ie30]

steroids are cheating for fuck sake..i personally now this because my neighbour is on them and he never goes in a gym ever and he has a body to die for...he never works out...so go fuck your selves...who say they arnt cheating!!!!!

[kakolaukiom]

@ro66ie30 i know a guy in my class too who never trains too and have a body to die for too and he is on steroids ..but his back is eww full of acne .and in the sports school activity he chooses to do ping pong because he is not able to run for a long time.. i was thinking he has gold genetics before i knew what steroids are .

[manfredoxyz]

idiot spotter

[swollen4ever]

roids are not cheating.. its not that u take em and next day u are 300lbs.... training hard, staying away from rec drugs, smoking and drinking, eating 7- 8 times a day, 5000 calories plus and eating every 3 hours, and sleeping 8 hours a day and taking steroids will get u 250 lbs plus.

if you consider it cheating, dont watch any npc.bodybuilding shows.. just bunch of haters.

[chunkypooh12]

steroids arent cheating if everybody does them

[anytingbu]

true guys..even if u take massive amounts of steroids.. you wont look like a pro bb unless the training and diet is methodical over years and most time decades..

also remember..is it cheating if everyone is doing it?

[BoboILFolle]

Like me..

[TheCarbon26]

mmmm ssshhhhhhheeehaa

[mightyice2000]

He's got a good easy going attitude

[cassiaro]

Wow, look at this Gym! Cool

[Plato413]

@cassiaro you shit

[cassiaro]

@Plato413 What, I can´t say it´s a nice gym?

[Plato413]

@cassiaro fuck you

[cassiaro]

@Plato413 Lol someone has an anger problem... roids got yer testicles?

[Plato413]

@cassiaro bring it on you chicken, you shit

[cassiaro]

@Plato413 Anytime. Rage more, I´m having fun!

[Plato413]

@cassiaro you shit

[cassiaro]

@Plato413 Cmon you have more creativity than that, pal

[Plato413]

@cassiaro you shit

[powerlifted]

does he even ever try to train them 15 inch calfs? or is it a genetic lost cause?

[jazzyj12399]

this guy is a fucking beast

[Kigoz4Life]

nasty hair on his chest lol nice form anyways

[beadednecklace]

huge lats

[jerelcoles123]

half the ppl who hate are the ppl who wish they was as big as him or the ppl who are fat with no friends and watch these vids all day ,, if he did steroids so waht ,, worry abt yourself he still had to pick up the weight /

[Bsnakes]

excellent form on bench press. the crossovers could have been done a bit more controlled. I know I know (I'd like to see you do it pussy). Whatever, just saying. He is huge, good intensity.

[tony7132901]

damn

[joeanz1234]

love big muscle dont care how day get there!!

[geaser22]

full of water big boy !

[bobxoo]

@geaser22 he is and his pecs seem small compared to his arms

[burkey830]

holding 2 mutch water

[JacksonXxXWaWa]

theyr not week they are big srong and also athletic!!! they focus on ther body ...they not week weight isnt everything

[Sleepingpillz]

lol They are weak compared to weightlifters.

[lagitoos]

yea but he is a bodybuilder.

[alexubo]

it doesnt matter if bodybuilders are strong their only concerin is to build muscle not strength

[Sleepingpillz]

lol I love how weak bodybuilders are. =P

[Bsnakes]

Compared to most powerlifters, yes they are not that strong. But there are exceptions. I KNOW you've seen the ronnie coleman videos in which he squats and deadlifts 800x2. I mean there are a lot of bodybuilders that also powerlift. Johnnie Jackson, Ben White. And, compared to the average lifter, these men are exceptionally strong.

[Sleepingpillz]

Not really..

[mitsugst06]

who's the guy that keeps annoying them?

[superpredatorr]

steroid abuse and nothing more

see my pic for a natural

[techn0sailer]

this is steroid use...not steroid abuse

[fikerz]

the shoulders are lacking but disent take from th fact that the guy is huge... i aint a hater like most the ppl who post comments here...........

[powerlifted]

he looks d-ball or anadrol bloated

[scientificallyunstab]

is that 55 kgs or 55 pounds?

[powerlifted]

he is gona have a problem he holds alot of weight in the ASS Ass is over powering the rest of him

[MsGio7]

i think its 55 pounds mate

[scientificallyunstab]

I thought that...but I was thinking that 55 pounds (25kgs) really isn't that much for such a big fella...does show that bodybuilding is all about light weights many reps...

[Brodi93]

pounds

[112proof]

I like the HIT training instead of all that volume training.

[abominative]

Way too big glutes.

[nenzi671]

It isnt cheating if they are all using steroids. Its just part of being a pro BB.

[bebencence]

where are your shoulders?

[BigRonLovesAnna]

Steroids aren't cheating. It's regular part of bodybuilding and many other sports.

[rippertrap]

@BigRonLovesAnna STEROIDS ARE THE BIG SECRET FOR WINNING

[BigRonLovesAnna]

@rippertrap Sorry?

[R0bert2169]

@BigRonLovesAnna Why do a lot of sports/commissions ban them then?

[BigRonLovesAnna]

@R0bert2169 Good question. Dunno.

[SiiKN4sty]

your fucking retared what your saying is you can take roids and sit on the couch and get big fucking stupid ass go blow shit out of your moms ass

[superpredatorr]

i never say that they are not training..cheating is cheating.. go educate yourself before i kick your ass

[SiiKN4sty]

fuck you you are little as fuck i bet

[hghis4winners]

w for winner...

[griggins]

You cannot gain muscle/strength with only the use of steroids - it still requires a large amount of work, and a diet based around the goal. I've known people who have been on steroids for years and are nowhere near as big or as strong as this man.

[Acid113377]

@griggins

dont forget genetics... I'd say only about 5% of men can look like Phil with putting in all the hard work, nutrition and rest...

[Halobolu]

@griggins Depends on how hard you work at it... taking steroids isnt automaticaly going to make you ripped... Hell they give the sick and elderly steroids to get enough strength to heal, but they dont turn into ronnie coleman... still gota work your ass off...

[TiN0350]

@griggins

they prob have huge gyno's too eh?

[Tetraid13]

@griggins

if you use only steroids you will gain onle FAT

[BigRonLovesAnna]

@Tetraid13 Depends which ones.

[kaalilulli]

who the fuck says he is abody builder,he is ajunkie.

[vansidney77]

niggers are powerful

[Samuraiul1]

lol

[dimashur]

i dont get his flyes. is he doing them right? i thought your elbows are sopuse to be olmost straight

[ir0nprodigy]

lmao hes tryin to be coleman saying lightweight

[DARK2196]

dont 4get da needles 2 mention da needles!!

steroid eating muthafucker!! with chicken legs!!

[yaytalap]

his flyes are perfect!! his targetting the lower middle chest too..

[crimzan123]

hey bro keep up the good work man, alot eating means alotof sh..... but is worth it in the end!!

[cheesedips]

no lock out?

[moopfucker]

constant tension ftw. lock out rests the muscle, no point

[cheesedips]

ftw?

[ryanflynn11]

for the win

[kevitubexd]

can some 1 tell him how to make his fly

[studiobuddy]

can some 1 kill this dude and his worthless family...this dude can do flyes better than you hes a competitive bodybuilder obviously

[samtheo7]

fk u!

[studiobuddy]

you dont even know who i was replying to dumbass

[yokedox]

most of you jealous haters i want to hit. acting like you know everything about bodybuilding and lifting weights......His flyes are perfect! your not suppost to keep your elbows straight while flying otherwise you'd have no elbows or no muscle after about a year! bunch of dumbass wanna b's

[ultimatumjs]

his flies have good form though Im no expert, but he is!

[pellepellecorps]

he got that prison body

[Nolij121]

He's out of proportion.

[ScrippsRanchDC]

ok... suicide grip, elbow wraps, weight belt for bench?

+ a rip off of ronnie colemans favorite catch phrase?

Bent elbows on the fly's, bouncing on the pull downs?

Whatever works i guess, cuz clearly it is, but hes doin it all wrong. Not that many other people could bench 405 for reps under those circumastances, or at all even.

[rhox1567]

lol his form is actually really good. the belt for chest exercise is useless tho. doing bench with thumbless grip is better for the elbows and wrists and long as u have a strong grip. and bent elbows doing flys is a must unless u wanna rip the insides or ur elbows in half. and those are not pulldowns. its called cable flys.

[yokedox]

wearing the belt while training is to help taper the waist down. your welcome!

[amoo2007]

i wonder about his info. weigth (off-on seasone, heigth, age) anybody knows?

[inktoxicated]

i notice lot of pros keep there heads up n tucked on chest. ?

[vlad0integra]

yeah i was wondering about that, i've seen it before, but i have no idea wut it dose so i never bothered to do it...

[krb0123]

this guy may not be ronnie coleman, but i bet hes just as strong even though hes not as ripped

[laisijunt03]

good form and breathing

[ericpelletier557]

on the plus side , your bench press techinic is perfect , on the down side your flyes are to tight in , oh ! and by the way , that ``light weight light weight`` crap, is for coleman , and coleman only

[lololobol]

great!

[giovallada]

I am not satisified what he did in dumble fly. His wrong movement twisting his arm will result to injuries. Try to look at Arnold video's chest work out for the best guide.

[rockerD1717]

love the music..apocolyptica

[pellepellecorps]

supa nigga

[andrewg19]

your a chode, stop saying lightweight baby your not ronny

[pkmills82]

this guy is chill, he's doing his thing, he clearly just loves bodybuilding and maybe ronnie inspires him whats wrong with that?

[avyion13]

what was the weight of his final bench? looked like 8 45's and 2 35's. might be wrong.

[Pla426]

8 45's on last set....6 45's and 2 35's and next to last set.....nice controlled reps!

[w8tLifter]

at 8:36 ur face looks hilarious! lol but anyway very impressive bench

[madhonda500]

good bench form, but the way he did cable flys was retarded. big effin dude tho

[madhonda500]

only 9 weeks out and u look like that? hope u cut down easy haha

[joeanz1234]

hoo cars big mofo..

[joeanz1234]

big nigga

[tinpsu]

STEROIDS = SUPER SMALL PENIS HAHA

[sybrikrp]

Actually it = small testicles... the penis may in fact grow due to high testoserone levels.

[youngCaptain86]

hes not Ronnie Coleman

[fireb1d]

P = Pantat

K = Kasi

R = Rabak

Why? kerana ketuanya "King Liwat"...so, sudah pasti kakitangannya dubur dah rabak sebab enjoy buat orgy main pantat antara satu sama lain...imagine kalau "King Liwat" jadi PM? mampus sial, malaysia pasti jahanam punya...gay/pondan/bapok activities akan menjadi cara hidup harian...orang yg tak beretika mahu represent malaysia as PM?! eeeeee!!!! jijik sial !!!! eeeeeeeeeee!!!! itu pantat sumbat dgn timun sudah lah....hahahaha!!!

[tomblymill]

the way he grips that bar, damn i would never do 400 like that

[cheesedips]

405 for 4.

[KokainTrouble]

ahahahah XDDDD,the muscles are so...soooo LITTLE!Im 16 and got bigger muscles than him

[reverenddisciple]

awesome

[GunnieCutschattimer]

my calves are bigger

[broski44]

are they really playin unforgiven with a violin?

[rhinosmash]

NO...dickweed...its a cello...and the band is called "apocalyptica"

[broski44]

sorry, didnt mean to offend you

[N3m3cis]

And it's finnish band, great shit!

[anthism2]

No spotter until the 405 set...suicide grip on the bench press...using speed on the flies instead of control...can someone say Injury-Waiting-to-Happen?

[ghett0fabu1as]

i agree entirely, he needs a spotter behind him for everything but his warm up sets and even then he just needs a goddamn spotter! there might be some guys right off camera on either side, but even so, all the big name guys use spotters all the time. its just too risky not to.

[jeht2000]

9wks out?! Leave the ego at home. No where near contest shape. More like 16wks out!

[Rastabuffor]

maybe jusf off season mate

[zeeman11]

He is a big power full looking guy, but i don't think he will ever make it as a top pro, he lacks symmetry and appears to have a big waist. Just my opinion could be wrong.

[auman01]

"Light weight"--isn't that Ronnie's saying?

[lvdawg]

think everyone says that

[lololobol]

indeed

[mattogus]

I cant wait to see what becomes of him! good luck phil
