Hey man, great video. When I workout my chest & tri's I roughly do 4-5 exercises for each with 3 sets of 8-12 reps. Ive seen other videos where people say to only do 2 exercises per muscle group or else you are doing more harm than good? Any advice man?
@DaRealRusso The best advice I can give is to do what works for you. I tried doing 2 or 3 exercises per muscle group and it just don't work for me. I see no gains in strength or size. Now I'll hit chest with 4 different exercises then when I move on to tricpes I'll do only three exercises because they have been getting work while I was doing chest. Doing things that why works the best for me.
Dont clack your weights together on the incline brother. Send a shock down the arm potentially resulting in elbow problems, Just a hint, great video though, very strong lifter.
loads of advanced body builders reccommend pyramiding up in weight for compound exercises, if not all exercises. i noticed u do this in ur video. whts the reason for this? i woulld hav thought doing sets of ur max weight would be more beneficial....
@jodhan23 You don't see it in my videos but I do both DeLorme and Oxford pyramid methods. Ascending I feel I'm lifting to failure each set. Set's of 135, 225, 275 and 315 my muscles will be thoroughly exhausted and I may only be able to get that 315 for a few reps. Now if I start with a warm up of 135 then jump to 315 on my second set and I rep out 315 I don't believe my muscles are working harder. But I would look better in the gym lifting 315 for 8 reps Vs. 3 reps
@bmoresgent oh right, yes that makes sense. im going to try that next time i bench press. thanks... one more question. when you do increase the weight from set to set, would u recommend increasing by the same amount each time? if so, by how much? and do u think that using pyramid methods is ok for all exercises for all muscles or just the core exercises? thanks again
@jodhan23 The rule I follow is this, first set 10-12 reps, second 8-10 reps, third 6-8, fourth set 4-6. Your increase should keep you in those ranges. I feel this gives light weight & high volume and heavy weight & less volume. I don't do four sets with everything; if I'm only doing three sets I'll adjust to 8-10, 6-8 and 4-6. I pyramid with almost everything the only time I don't is if I chose a weight and I don't reach my rep range for that set I will use the same weight for my next set.
@bmoresgent hey man, i spoke to you a few weeks ago about workout rep ranges and weights etc... i have been using your technique you were talking about and it has really helped me.. thanks for the advice bro...
duuude get a spotter or do bench in the power rack, espescially decline, i was scared to death you wouldnt make it on the last rep of 225 and where are you gonna ditch the bar if you fail, because you sorta can on flat bench. Plus, w/ a spotter you'll get forced reps which equals more muscle stimulus and fatigue and more growth.
mate you're solid. have you always done chest/triceps and back/biceps on same day? I have been doing that for about 9 months now and my gains are decreasing. Are the triceps not already pre-exhausted after doing the benching and pressing (so you won't be able to lift as much weight on tricep exercises) and hence build less triceps? same goes for back/biceps. I'd be greatful for a reply.
@bearhardman I've done it this way since day one. I think my gains have always been great. Yes my triceps are pre-exhausted but that's what I like and that's why I do it that way. I actually do it with all my muscle groups, I'll work out a muscle group the day before for a few light sets to get me ready for the next day. It works for me. I just started a new split where I'm not doing chest/triceps and back and biceps. I'll see if I see better gains then with my old splits.
@Solefresh345 I switch up just about everything. The only thing I don't like to do is flat bench dumbbell press. I'm going to start uploading new videos next week.
@coolseal141 I would say NO, I've seen seals train and this little workout has nothing on there training. SEALs take a different approach to training, they are concerned with strength and endurance.
@bmoresgent alright thx a lot! i actually found out the us navy has a youtube channel and some videos on how seals workout so yeah, but thanks for replying and telling me, and goodluck with your workouts!
chest is decent strength triceps are pretty weak bro. try doing chest with biceps and back with triceps, one push and one pull, youll find yours bis and tris to be stronger.
@sellyintegra Thank you for the comment but did you read the description? this was my very first workout after taking a year off. At 195 pounds I have a max of 405 and I can close grip bench (hands about 6 inches apart) 315
@bmoresgent yo my bad bro, i didn't read that. that's hella impressive if it's your first workout after a year off, I can't imagine how strong you would be if you never stopped for a year. sick stuff bro and keep training hard!
Less then 2 minutes. Sometimes it was real short like 45 sec. As I move up in weight the rest get longer. I have a timer with me so I wont rest to long. Yes I do decline press on the same day. This video is one workout on the same day.
I can't believe you took off I was following you. I was competing on the low, although I was behind a few pounds. I'm still really no where because I'm trying to focus more on entire body but 345lbs bench isn't terrible. Good luck with getting back. Looking forward to seeing the progress.
Thanks for the comment, I'll be back soon on 3.16.09 I rep 315 a few time (3) so it should not take me to much longer to get back there. By the way on the day when I rep the 315 you could say I was fresh. I did my full back workout and I just had to see where I was. It was my first time lifting 315 in a longtime.
Nice vid... I have always been confused...about exercising the chest...should I do, 2 exercises for upper chest then flat?

hey is this a good workout for navy seals? im trying to find ways to workout certain parts, like the parts in your video chest and triceps, thx
coolseal141 1 year ago
@coolseal141 I would say NO, I've seen seals train and this little workout has nothing on there training. SEALs take a different approach to training, they are concerned with strength and endurance.
Running: 2 miles, 8:30 pace, Mon/Wed/Fri
Pushups: 4 sets of 15 Pushups Mon/Wed/Fri
Situps: 4 sets of 20 Situps Mon/Wed/Fri
Pullups: 3 sets of 3 Pullups Mon/Wed/Fri
Swimming: Swim continuously for 15 min. 4-5 days/week
Those sets and reps should be upped every week
