I’ve been weight training for 50 years. I’m 6’0 185 and pretty lean. I cannot tell you how good your advice is…I’m not flexing, but I also have graduate degree in Exercise Physiology. Keep up the good work
In the 70's thats exactly how my training partners and me trained at the old Tucson health studio. I always lifted weights to gain strength. The muscle gain was secondary to me. At 6'3" I weighed a fairly solid 280bs and we incorporated the basic compound movements in our training. I'm 72yrs old now and although I can't handle the same weights I still train 5 days a week consistently. I really like your channel. Thanks for your work and posts.
There's a lit of bs training videos out there, there's no bs here, just the best advice for training and nutrition fir real old school workouts that yield results. Thank you Pete.
On your last video I have a request. Can you help me out please? I feel like I need DAYS to recover after my workout, and I'm not certain if it's because of age (I am 43, but at the same time it is NOW that I'm lifting the heaviest in my life) or because my 2-day split is not clearly enough separated in terms of exercises. I'm 5 months into my training again now (I usually take a year or so off to only concentrate on martial arts as soon as I'm happy with my physique, then I'll go to the gym again). Here are my exercises: Day 1: - Decline Bench press (4x6, 130kg) - Dumbbell pullovers (3x6, 50kg - for CHEST, not back, more would be possible, but gym racks max out at 50kg) - Incline Dumbbell flies (3x6, 40kg with arms open as wide as possible) - Dips (5x6, 40kg added) - Cable single arm triceps - Squats (3x6, 190kg) - Leg extension (3x6, 70kg left, then 70kg right since machine only allows additional weights up to 80kg) - Leg curls (3x6, 70kg, little priority, thus fairly low weight) Day 2: - Deadlifts (4x6, 220kg) - Pullups with medicine ball 2kg (3x6, pulling up until chin is above bar, then lift legs with ball to ceiling to train abs at the same time) - Cable tensions (3x6, unsure about weight, machine says "15", I suspect 150kg, but feels way lighter, so I add 50kg plates) - Barbell cleans (3x6, 40kg, but slowly lifting barbell from belly button as high as possible than switch to pressing it above head slowly - and slowly back down) - Dumbbell Lateral raise (3x6, 15kg) - bicep curl (3x6, 30kg) - Ab exercise (cable machine, rotational movement from bottom up - not sure what it's called). I usually do day 2 first, because day one absolutely kills me for days. I have always built strength crazy fast with my plan, but I feel like I need too long to recover. I want to work out 4 times a week, but I just can't. It's mostly 2, three if possible (but mostly not). Now, I'm unsure. Is it too many exercises per day (it does take me up to 2 hours each time to finish each day), does day 1 and 2 have too many crossovers that wear out the same muscles (I would think this is the case between squats and deadlifts, but I have to separate them, I don't have enough power to do both on the same day), or am I getting too old?
Isnt this technically similar to what dorian did with his hit training style? Pyramid up 3 sets with the last being 1 all out set to failure. I can't be the only one to see the similarity, in any case good video.
@@bambostarla6259 I think Mentzers style is better suited for older, natty trainers than Yates. Something inbetween is pretty good for unenhanced imo, if people correctly take exercises to failure and beyond, which people very rarely do.
Currently running the Arnold Bodybuilding Beginner Program (not the 2x per day contest prep) and on the section under Power Training for Deadlifts, Stiff Leg, etc. are those to be performed like you explain here (i.e. 1st set of 10 reps should be lighter than your 3rd set of 4 reps?)
ive been told to do the heavy set first and then drop the weight down and increase the reps, for eg- 1x4 drop weight, 2 nd set for 6, drop weight 3rd set for 8 and so on for 5 sets, is that viable?
@@XayliftzSurely that just means by the time you reach your max, you’ll be fatigued and the technique will be sloppy compared to doing the heavy set first and then going down. Warm-up, then go heavy, then back-off.
i also do power Bodybuilding . 1-5 reps tops with super heavy weight ...i mean, i think even one rep with maximum strength and slow which you almost fail but succeed to do very very hardly probably gives you more muscle than a week of repetitions
For some reason I feel 99% sure you used to have a video where you talked about the techniques arnold used to improve his chest from just decent to GOAT. You talk about deep stretches and not locking out, among other things. Am I just making this up in my head? Cause I can't find that video
LARRY KING WITH TOM PLATZ: DAY 1: Larry king: Who you think should have won 1980 Olympia? Tom platz: Mike was the next Mr. OLYMPIA, he was the next golden child but he never was a match for Arnold. The right person won that Olympia. Bro roasted Mike Methzer 💀
Tom literally never said that lmao. Every single competitor agreed that Arnold was in his worst condition ever and didn't deserve to be in the top 10, Mike also never said that he should have won, Frank Zane and Chris Dickerson were lightyears ahead of Arnolds conditioning. The entire event was a political move to get the Mr. Olympia competition back in the mainstream.

I'm from the old school era and I still do this type of power training and it works for me.
Do you gain strength only or size and strength?
@@yassenmaarouf7906 both
I’ve done this from time to time.
The strength I’ve gained from it has carried with me through life.
It’s a great way to add gobs of strength.
Best channel in all of RUclips
Thanks for all the education Pete. Really appreciate your content
I love this old school training

Im currently training something similar to this and im having great workouts

I was thinking that. Funny because Pete has always been against HIT training, specifically Mike Mentzer style HIT though.
@@nah88 Mentzer style hit is a silly way of training, but dorian's way of doing hit has always fascinated me
@@bambostarla6259 I think Mentzers style is better suited for older, natty trainers than Yates.

I love your 5 day mass program, I'm still on it year round
I also have the 5 day mass gain program but I don't wanna hit leg twice how to should I make some changes
@@titan7200 I've had to change to plate leg presses as I can't squat
Did you notice a difference in gains using this program?
Oh yea, steady away progress. I've been cutting body fat for a while now so not much gains
Is it worth doing if I want to gain size and strength?
Great video!
Very good insight and super helpful!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
PETER, you always talk about training optimally i learned a lot from you can you show how your split looks like ? you never talk about workout splits!
Don’t tell anyone your plans. Instead, show them your results.
This is how I first started training, before I knew what a program ever was - pyramids and volume are the best
Barbell rows 🙌
ive been told to do the heavy set first and then drop the weight down and increase the reps, for eg- 1x4 drop weight, 2 nd set for 6, drop weight 3rd set for 8 and so on for 5 sets, is that viable?
both are effective tbh, unless u rlly wanna get strong, increase the weight each working set
@@XayliftzSurely that just means by the time you reach your max, you’ll be fatigued and the technique will be sloppy compared to doing the heavy set first and then going down. Warm-up, then go heavy, then back-off.
Let me try this
I do pyramid. High reps and low reps. All in one training.
Power training or bulk training is key for mass
i also do power Bodybuilding . 1-5 reps tops with super heavy weight ...i mean, i think even one rep with maximum strength and slow which you almost fail but succeed to do very very hardly probably gives you more muscle than a week of repetitions
Is 4 to 6 a good rep range?
Edit:i started a war in the comments:p
Absolutely!
No
@@kyledavison8505 Nah . Stay small lil bro
Any rep range is good, depending on your goals.
Naa 8-12 reps is the best
For some reason I feel 99% sure you used to have a video where you talked about the techniques arnold used to improve his chest from just decent to GOAT. You talk about deep stretches and not locking out, among other things. Am I just making this up in my head? Cause I can't find that video

I see you have the powertec leverage gym what is you opinion about it?

Hop off Arnie’s nutsack
i am greatful
Mike O'Hearn did 'power bodybuilding' - but it was all in one session; 5 sets of about 8 reps, followed by 5 sets of 15 reps - or something like that.
Mike O'Hearn is a fake natty
He's natty tho
