I appreciate this so much. I am a 50 year old bikini competitor NQ…and I also work a 50 hour week. My stress increases and I get inflamed when I train more than 4 days a week. Volume focused really increases my inflammation
Well Greg Doucette always said, "how hard? Harder than last time" always thought he was talking about reactions to viagra. You guys definitely got valid points. Appreciate everything you all do
I remember when I was in my late teens and early 20's I used think the more I would punish myself, the better it was. It would absolutely destroy myself every time i would go to the gym. Funny enough, I barely made gains. I take a more chill approach now; listen to my body more; and low and behold I see better results now.
@@jayredmon3769 I was watching one of Andrew Huberman's podcast and i learned it is due to testosterone men do this. Testosterone makes us enjoy pain. We like to suffer because it makes us feel like a reward is on the horizon if we suffer. The whole "no pain, no gain" axiom comes from that I suppose.
Harder does not nessescarily mean Harder in terms of intensity but, more reps, better teqchnique, better connection. A easy/dumbed down way of saying "progressive overload"
Omg I am so excited about how the guy in the middle with the gray hair at 5:00 mins 1. Understands that working out that intensely will only damage the body and not lead to gains or benefits (like the guy on the right with the red hat seems to think for some awful reason) and 2. Is actively defending that training that hard will only make you hurt by “arguing” with the guy in the red hat, arguing meaning responding with a rebuttle of sorts that confirms what he said was incorrect. I love that too much lol I’m screaming at my phone at dude in the red hat like no bro you don’t see the scale drop fast with that you get hurt with that…. Lol that anyways… That clip was actually hard to watch, idk why anyone would say that looks motivating. Anyone with a brain and respect for women and understanding of fitness to any degree has a hard time watching this, as the guy in the middle with the gray hair awesomely seems to understand. I have too much respect for that guy doing this!!!!!!! 💯💯💯💯💪🏽🙏🏽
If you do this every workout, it's terrible but you should do something similar every once in a while to actually see how much your body can take and what actual failure is. It's a lot easier to go too easy and stay below minimum effective volume and intensity than to go above maximum recoverable volume and intensity, most should not worry about going too hard
Dude that works out like this told me the other day , you always look happy after you finish your work out , im like : That's why i do it , don't you ?
I feel like sending this message, “training too hard is not necessary” is dangerous for lazy people that workout twice a week and say more than that is excessive.
Yea but him and mike mentzer taught to train to failure. Only one set each exercise and recover a couple of days and rinse and repeat. So it’s really not that bad. I train hit and it works
And for a woman mane like I doubt women have the brain built for that amount of cortisol and stress as men do (I’ve heard women may recover from sets faster than men), which explains the crying… That’s just ridiculous to do anything incorrect to any human

Same here. Always listen to your body

But coach Greg yells at us if we don't go harder than last time
Bahahhaha. This was funny. Love coach Greg too. He will yell at us!
And why I train harder than the last time 😄

@@OleMariusHovind yes I'm aware of that. Just adding some Coach Greg humor in here because it was a perfect opportunity to add it.
When you said “friends of ours” i felt that lol

I am the type of person who finds it difficult to take it easy. With anything.

Justin said looks like they’re in labor 😂 I’m 3 weeks postpartum I didn’t scream that loud in labor😅😂
What that lady was having her do is not what exercise is. That isn’t even lifting to failure lol that’s just actual body damage
Dude that works out like this told me the other day , you always look happy after you finish your work out , im like : That's why i do it , don't you ?
“Looks like they’re in labor” 😂
It’s not optimal but it’s fun

It looks like the HIT workouts Dorian Yates has been selling for years.

It’s the most vague bodybuilding statement ever
