My Basic Chest & Shoulders Workout

[USCboy1]

ok dude first of all you only weigh 160? damn you can lift a shit load for that size, nice job and good effort. I'm starting to like you, no homo!

[Fnetoesteves]

voce ta tomando bomba!!!!!rsrsrsrsrs kkkkkk

[diesel5355]

Terrible form on the raises

[filthyrugrat]

damnn tank!

[tsrolph]

quiet gym brah... depressing

[PaulBernardLyons]

good video! i'm a certified personal trainer and gym instructor, you have a good pysique and im sure it would be better if you watched your form/technique on the lateral raises and you would hit the lateral head more evenly for example: forearm in line with shoulder and don't leave the hands go higher than your elbows, just a tip to help you out! peace!!

[A7X0313]

pretty beastlike for a fragrance reviewer lol naa im into the same things you are

[vots1234]

Eat your meat, milk, and eggs and you'll hit 180 Brandon, you're still young. To make sure maintain your bodyfat, try Burst Training for cardio...you tube it...you'll find that you only need maybe 2 sessions of it a week max.

[ivymansion]

mate, your a tank

[camdavis38]

Good video Brandon. What kind of gloves are you wearing during your workout?

[jburch001]

you can get a much more intense workout if you go slower. for example when you are dumbbell pressing if you would go three seconds down and three seconds up it would work your pecks alot better. you might not be able to do as many reps but ya get my point.

[LotsxOfxNuts]

i go to the communtity weight room and we have some extremly buff people there and ive never even seen 100's before, i watched a 18 year old do 4*100's with a 50, it was insain, and 1 quistion when did u start using the 100's

[samanferrari]

brandon why do u do sets of 8? and also at the machine incline press why did u put failure? nice work tho

[CutlassSupremeSL]

@samanferrari Cuz 8 is the magic number for strength heavy sets. And to failure means till you cant do another rep.

[see17]

@CutlassSupremeSL

Not to be like a dick but 3-5 reps is optimal for strength, as it trains your CNS which is vital for heavy lifting. 8 is far too much for a strength set.

[CutlassSupremeSL]

@see17 So yoir suggesting to up my weight to the point of only being able to rep it that many times?

[see17]

@CutlassSupremeSL Yes, for instance my rep/set scheme for benching would be like:

225x12(warmup) use roughly 50-60 percent of your 1RM

315x10

365x8

405x6

415x4

Then heavy doubles of 435. Do singles and doubles (1-2 rep sets) to get your CNS involved in the lift. 

[PianoMan1532]

@see17 I think 6-8 is perfectly fine. I do 8 reps personally. I think anymore than that and your tapping into slow twitch muscle fibers. 6-8 is still low enough to work though. Lower reps could also work, but is more accident prone and could be detrimental to form.

[see17]

@PianoMan1532

I suppose some people find results on any rep scheme, but your CNS is working in overdrive when doing sets of 3-5. Muscular hypertrophy is only a part of the equation when it comes to lifting heavy- if your CNS has adapted to lifting as heavy as possible frequently the results are staggering.

[xXGaurav408Xx]

holy crap you ann tim are fuckin beast

[superped2]

Looks like a good workout you just need to put some weight on the bar playa lol

[VenumosFate]

you take any supplements?

[CutlassSupremeSL]

@VenumosFate Nope but I use to

[nickelwindow53]

@CutlassSupremeSL what supplements you used to take?

[unhallowed45]

I never thought of doing a combination of shoulders/chest in one day. Usually I work Chest/Tris, then Back/Bis and then shoulders on their own.

[CutlassSupremeSL]

@unhallowed45 I like the way it feels to do both together.

[wreckingcrew07]

Good job Brandon. Awesome video. Way to hit those weights. I gotta question are you at Gold's Gym, cause I really like those 45's cool ergonomic design never seen those. If it's not Gold's dont say or locations to keep privacy. I live in Texas, Im not a stalker. Just curious cause I would like my Gold's to carry those weights. Thanks and keep up the good work

[CutlassSupremeSL]

@wreckingcrew07 Nope not at a Golds Gym. And I like them too but I wish they went higher than 100's.

[jmsteve45]

First of GREAT video... Three questions though (1)How long have you been lifting

(2) What supplements do you use if any (3) How tall are you

[CutlassSupremeSL]

@jmsteve45 1. Since i was a junior in high school with a few on and off's.

2. None for the last year. But I normally take nitric oxide and protein.

3. 5'8''

[aklipsed]

great idea man! i have a question, how tall are you?

[CutlassSupremeSL]

@aklipsed 5'8''

[DJCa1eb]

I wanna see you and Tim do some arm wrestling.

[codehorror]

Nice video Brandon I hear you mention that you do jiu jitsu, that is cool so do I how long have you been doing jiu jitsu, and do you do sport jiu jitsu or self defense based jiu jitsu. Keep up the good work.

[CutlassSupremeSL]

@codehorror I train with Carlson Gracie direct students.

[jreily88]

Damn, Brandon, you are jacked! Just curious, but what is your max bench press?

[CutlassSupremeSL]

@jreily88 the highest ever is 280 but I haven;t tried to max in years.

[jreily88]

@CutlassSupremeSL

That's awesome, keep it up. I think maxing out, at least all the time, can be very dangerous. Doing it every once in a while is fine.

[blaquestrength]

I would like to get in better shape but because I'm diabetic (insulin and pills)I don't know whether it would affect me negatively or not. I actually ride my bike which seems to give me a thorough workout but of course not developing muscle in the upperbody. I'm getting older so I guess that doesn't matter LOL

[YoungHustla1]

Dam I couldnt tell you were that fit... you lookin like one of those dudes of the thug workout video (youtube it if you dont know what I mean) lol

[MizzKittiNae]

mk...i think i can comment now...this was definitely a great video informative and interesting to see you doing something other than talking about smell goods. how you look like you still smell good tho? lol definitely hurt me and im not even the one exercising, quite admirable m'dear, might i add this was extremely enjoyable to watch babe <3 besos

[85matt85]

Great chest workout, nice to see the cable chest fly, best chest workout in my opinion. I have been havin a hard time finding a good LAT workout so i really look forward to seeing your next video.

[CutlassSupremeSL]

@85matt85 You will love my back video since my back is what im known for.

[MrDondon71]

You could gain twenty more and still have a great physique. Just curios Brandon whats the Chinese writing on your backarm mean?

[CutlassSupremeSL]

@MrDondon71 Not chinese its just shadow text and its my grandfathers initials and on the from is my uncle.

[warriordiscus7]

I bet you would get alot mor shoulder out of those front raises if you lowered the weight at didnt swing them. It's not about weight, its about form.

[CutlassSupremeSL]

@warriordiscus7 Very true but you will NEVER get a nice weight without some motion. And I do do form raises at home with my 20lbs I have. ;-p thx tho!

[warriordiscus7]

@CutlassSupremeSL I agree, I always rock a little too.

[IroningSomeWrinkles]

This is a pretty good routine for building mass, dude. Do you have an alternate routine to incorporate the decline bench?

Also, do you ever do circuits?

[CutlassSupremeSL]

@IroningSomeWrinkles I decline when I randomly feel like it. Like I said that was my main exercise that I make sure I do.

[AyeImaBoss]

aye aye aye Brandon, what kinda protein supplements do you take?

[CutlassSupremeSL]

@AyeImaBoss Right now nothing ive been all natural for about a year. When I do I take nitro oxide and protein.

[MrDondon71]

That must be real expensive!!! Well brandon if we were going off Military Scales.

You 5-8 161lbs your ideal weight 130 to 140 roughly. And your in good shape. Could you imagine dropping 20 more pounds? My Grandpa was Special Forces and told me most of my life. BOY you ain't fit for shit. Drop and give me twenty.

[CutlassSupremeSL]

@MrDondon71 I want to gain 10 more.

[SUebelhor]

you need to exhale more when you lift that heavy, other than that pretty damn impressive. Most ive benched was 260..what is your max?

[CutlassSupremeSL]

@SUebelhor right now 280..... not bad for my size I say. If I can hit 300 I will be proud.

[CutlassSupremeSL]

@SUebelhor And I will try that.

[MrDondon71]

WOW your a stout Dude. 161lbs i thought you were at least 2 Bills. I walk around at 205 and i'm 5-10. At my very best i was 10% body fat. And they weighed me in water.

Mind you this was 15 years ago.How did you determine 12% body fat water also?

[CutlassSupremeSL]

@MrDondon71 Have an expensive ass digital thermal wrestling scale. The lowest I was ever was 6% body fat when I was wrestling in High School. BTW im 5'8''

[MizzKittiNae]

2:45 ----2:54 then i had to stop because it was overwhelming, i'll comment on the rest later when i calmed down. :)

[CutlassSupremeSL]

@MizzKittiNae lol comment

[dicksonaaron]

i just came from the gym today....I love doing sited dips....they do some much for my chest and arms...i do 270 and try to to 5 sets of 10

[CutlassSupremeSL]

@dicksonaaron you will see my version of that in my arms video.

[eddieishott29]

damn i didnt think u had it in you haha but u do ur chest and shoulders on the same day?i find it hard to get a good shoulder workout after my chest workout. so i try to do chest and lower back on 1 day then shoulders and triceps on another .but to each its own

[CutlassSupremeSL]

@eddieishott29 yeah works best for me cuz I dont want to be in the gym 6 days out of the week lol.

[Guinea54]

@eddieishott29 Yeah that was too tough for me, I always tried to do opposing muscle groups, that you don't end up overworking any muscle. Back/chest Bis/tris Shoulders/legs. I forgot i mean it feels like a life time ago.

[slotback67]

wow are all our reviewrs ripped?

[CutlassSupremeSL]

@slotback67 lol

[Guinea54]

100's damn, I mean you look like your in top shape, but u dont look like you would be able to lift 100's that easily lol. Ur really strong for your size man. I was doing 100s when i was at my PRIME, and I wasnt lifting them with the ease you were thats for sure .

[CutlassSupremeSL]

@Guinea54 It could get better but im not on anything not even protein. Thx I pride myself on my pound for pound power.

[vessc]

Great Video Tim.. I mean Brandon, haha. J/K

[CutlassSupremeSL]

@vessc Lol I decided to finally do a few of these but I wont be doing reviews like Tim or any of the other stuff.
