[Dragspelarn23]

Hi Tuan!. How did you learn that exercise?. I have been training in gym for nearly a year now and im want to strenghten my back. Is deadlift the best exercise for that?

[roughneckasian]

@Dragspelarn23 one of the best. also, pull ups, rows of all kind and powercleans help too

[Dragspelarn23]

@roughneckasian  Ok thx:)

[TheDaniel97G]

How many Regualr Pull ups , dips and Push ups can you do ? Can you do any muscle ups :) ?

[jcyl141104]

I don't understand English.

[rmsolympic1]

He's rocked up, boulder-built. Good exercise. Not a roughneck at all, but a nice guy. this exercise looks like slightly plometric.

[cyspy]

is there an excercise for getting that full, wide back part of the tricep to get bigger, or does that come with general tricep mass?

[greenthumbbum87]

SOMEONE! get this guy a band aid! this fool is CUT!

[GotToGrow]

Never seen that b4

[impreza127]

Nice Tran! Keep it up =)

[Gcardfinatic27]

@impreza127

[izakaru009]

hahaha wow. he looks like The Rock(Asian Version).

[Jamietran123]

Fucking hell, im lookin for a vid to help my improve overhand pull ups so i can join the Royal Marines, and you see the guy face and when he get up hes a fuckin ripped beast!

[MrLilcfly]

you're an beast

[poppadop89]

where can i get tank tops like that? razor backs or y-backs...

[stylezxcuhz]

hey i was wondering if you can suggest me some workout to build a bigger back because when i workout my back i feel im not giving it a hard enough workout any suggestions?

[roughneckasian]

deadlifts of every kind and lots of them. also, rack pulls

[blindmellonchittlen]

Good strength, you look like you could do a couple of one arm pullups, can you?

[roughneckasian]

sorry my friend, but that is something that i can not do. and respect to anyone who can. takes for the comment

[krumpinAnnanth]

@roughneckasian there is actually a speical way to do 1 hand pull ups use 1 hand to pull up, and with your other hand, grab your forearm, that's how i can do 1 handed pull ups.

[fijijontsay]

@roughneckasian you can totally. granted idk if you want to because its definitely a commitment

[103Rockistan]

@roughneckasian very honest,, 

[landreev]

can you do a muscle up

[goat6inboots]

How the frick does Tuan just come and have a chat straight after these intensive exercises he's doing as if he just went strawberry picking!?

[zudiko]

Tuan Tran I really enjoyed that as I allways enjoy listen to you and watching you.

You got a great personality and I hope I can meet you once.

A great fan of you in Germany - Z u d i k o -

[Toughguy8586]

hey Tuan wats ur height???

[GWY2007]

Hey Tuan, nice thing... problem is, when i tried this i can only do it 4 reps for each side and then a trainer came to me and told me that this is wrong and there's no such thing like this type of workout, he said this could harm my shoulder joints or something. Every time I copied your tech he said it all wrong. Any advice(s)?

[roughneckasian]

very sorry to hear that. people will always voice what they believe to be right or wrong. however, just because the trainer was taught 1 method of training, that does not mean it is the only way to train. next time he tells you that u r doing something wrong, ask him do marathon runners do the same exerciese as olympic sprinters? how about gymnest, boxers, powerlifters, cross fit, free runners, breakdancers? last, any exercise can hurt bc there is always a risk no matter how safe it is

[EAbrego76]

Fucking A man! Those are awsome!

[roughneckasian]

thanks

[cartlidge1313]

nice stuff, im 280 lbs. and can get off a good 2 pull ups, not quite there yet..

i use the counterweight pull-up machine at the gym, i'll give this a try sometime...

[roughneckasian]

great idea. that is a great way to build up your ablilty for pull ups. i too used counterweights when i first started

[seannnn2006]

this dude has an amazing back, anyone know if he just uses the bar or does he use machines like the lat pulldown to..cuz i cant to the pull up bar yet

[roughneckasian]

i use many different exercises and yes, lat pulls, cables, dumb bells...etc. if you can not do pulls ups yet, make sure you are training up to it for they are a staple movement in my program. good luck

[TKsupraTT]

man..that must hurt the forearm..good way to get your hand strong..i will try that..good tips bro..!

[ronyboy40]

interesting

[PrinceMarcilo]

can you do one armed pull ups?

[roughneckasian]

no i can not, too hard. maybe if i lost 30 more lbs, i could do it

[c4t2f0]

Dude youre the man.Thankx for all the help.I do pull ups everyday and started to get used to the same thing...Saw this and its a real help.

[shipmatez]

hey tuan.i am a 32 year old, who honestly is in pretty good shape but you have motivated me even more my man..thanks for the vids....

[roughneckasian]

[4806577005]

[jonasjonasjonas]

[JonahGui]

oh, kg! oh, no way, thats freaky. lol

im lbs

[dogharper]

you must being using a machine?

[nickwadn]

that is a great excersise, im half lao and half american so thats pretty cool. im 15 5'1 and 115 lbs. im curious to see how many pushups you could do, my record is 130 without stop.

[mknuwt]

ey man, i like yr built? can u tell me some tips on dieting? wat to eat during training and also off training? thansk

[ab3k1nz]

good stuff Tuan, hey what supplements are you taking?

[gruze123]

Ok question out of topic. You are indian, chinese, or indian-chinese? Because you have similarities of both.

[roughneckasian]

I am Vietnamese. This is the first time anyone though I could pass for indian. For some reason, I get alot of people asking me if I am a combination of this or that, just surprising to see how many combinations I have been asked

[dannystud]

haha im inspired by your workout. I am also Vietnamese. i do have my work outs. sadly im only 5'4 and 19 already. weighing in at about 130.

[mobsta8890]

is the deadlift the best excercise for muscle growth for the back?

[gorila2bambang]

are you kidding me?

wtf he`s from japan or korea.

but not chinese or indian.

[roughneckasian]

its cool, many people ask whether i am this or that or mixed. i just tell them i am Vietnamese/American. but its no prob

[shacomaco1]

do you train your legs?

[roughneckasian]

YES!!! i am glad you asked. In my opinion, they are the most important part to hit. I train legs minimum twice a week. up to just a few years ago, my legs were not in proportion with my upper body because how large they are. 605 powerlifting style squat and 551 deadlift raw are my best 1 rep max currently. hoping to go 600 raw deadlift and 650 raw squat in Nov. for the UT All Natrual Powerlifting in Austin, Texas. Wish me luck

[lunchbox44]

Why is your deadlift higher then your squat?

[cartlidge1313]

because they're utilizing different groups of muscles

[lunchbox44]

Yeah but a persons deadlift is usually always higher then their squat.

[JoePresentsWTF]

This has given me some awesome conditioning ideas - thanks man!

[roughneckasian]

thank you for the comment and anytime.

[007ObiWan]

From your videos I assumed you were about 5'11". You pack an amazing amount of natural muscle on your 5'7" frame.  You are one of those rare guys who has massive muscles yet looks natural, athletic, and aesthetically pleasing.

[roughneckasian]

thanks for the comment. I try to say as balance as possible. to me it makes no sences to have so much muscle when it is not functional. whats the point. also, i wish bodybuild was more like the golden age in the late 60s and 70's when it was highly respected vs how its more like a circuts now with all the roid and gh monsters. but maybe one day it will change

[007ObiWan]

I bet if you asked 1,000 guys whether they'd prefer to be built like you or like Jay Cutler, at least 900 would choose your physique. As to women's preferences, I'm sure over 900 out of 1,000 would choose their boyfriend to be built like you rather than, say, Flex Wheeler.

At what age did you first get very buff?

[POISONOAK1981]

Dude, you're ripped solid...looks like you're ready for a show!

[roughneckasian]

for some reason, i look so much bigger in this clip...lol. but i wish my leg would just catch up. damn fat ass legs. but at least i can leg press a car...lol

[nicmare]

in germany we call that a adoniscomplex!

[roughneckasian]

It a way all bodybuilders have either a little or a lot of the Adonis complex (always wanting to change their bodies for perfection) but the problem is when it gets out of hand to the point similar to women that are anorexic or bulimic. Some guys may use roids and drugs, other many over training beyond the body's limit. This is where the problem lies.

[roughneckasian]

Once my bodybuilding contests r over, I gain my natural weight back and go into my powerlifting mode. That is when I am happiest for I don't need to try to look like the perfect body. My girlfriend will sec. that. I only try to go the perfection for that is what they are looking for on stage in the bodybuilding contest. But I will never resort to dangerous means or put my health at risk just for a trophy.

[roughneckasian]

I am glad to see this term up for many guys may have a serious level of this disorder and not be aware of it, but it can lead to many problems. good comment.

[nicmare]

yea. everyone who works out knows this kind of feeling. normally its a good feeling because it helps you to reach your aims (lifting weights etc). but some guys loses their relation to the reality which means they allways comare themselves with real bodybuilders and do not see the "simple bodies" of regular people. and this fact causes the disordering you are talking about i guess. kind regards from germany...

[roughneckasian]

no prob. good the have a comment like this so others can see and have a better understanding of things.

[mrimsoperfect]

Yea, thats exactly how I feel, Like i'm 15 and Its hard not to compare yourself to your idols which are much more genetically more gifted and older than you.

[traceurmouse]

Can you do muscle ups or planches?

Just out of intrest :)

[roughneckasian]

PLANCHES ARE AN AMZAZING MOVEMENT. I hate to say it but I can just barly hold that positions for a few secs, much less do a push up with the feet in the air. RESPECT TO ANYONE WHO CAN DO IT. As for the muscle up, i can only do a few, but god its hard. i will post a muscle up on the rings later. They will not look great, but at less i will be able to say i can do it, even if its just 1...lol. Thnanks for the comment. I will work hard on the planches

[nfparkour]

I can planche badly but im not quite as heavy as you since i have more of a gymnasts build :P

Its impressive that you can though from the amount of muscle you have

[roughneckasian]

thanks for the msg. yeah, my legs are very heavy and being around 195 to 198 at 5'7, plaches and other body movements are very difficult, but i will keep training and one day i will get it. but if you can planche, reguardless how bad the form, you still have my respects

[beastis435]

yo man ur a tank! evernight now, i do push ups and sit ups to get muscular

[roughneckasian]

thanks for the comment, but no need to do every night, just add them in to your push and pull workouts. As for mass, the best mass builders for me are powerlifting style squats and barbell deadlifts.

[tenntube2u]

Tran--it is nice to know that you are competeing--way to go--I wish I could have been in TX to see you in the prejudging & finals--Take Care

[roughneckasian]

thanks for the comment and support

[catullus00]

Nice grip changes... pretty awesome!

[roughneckasian]

cool, i will do that. thanks for you info

[roughneckasian]

its weird seeing it for the first time on video, just feels like, "did i really just do that"
