Pfffth! I bet you don't even drink a Gallon of Milk a day either!
Did I say I do no squat?

I voiced my concern previously about the lackof big compound movements to stimulate a hormonal response in our aging bodies,but what about the lack of 'big load bearing exercises' to stimulate Bonedensity as we age @
Fadi;
Sticking those big ass weights on your front or back has to be good for yourbone density*. Missing out on that be a problem Fadi?
Thanks.
* I'm not talking about real big ass weights that may cause degenerativeissues like RC.
You're forgetting: health.
Just being able to get off the couch, pick up kids or grandkids, walk upstairs, be less likely to need a hip or knee replacement, run around for asocial soccer game without worrying about popping an ACL, and so on. Now, forhealth a person doesn't need to squat 200kg, and they sure as shit don't needto do 100 reps. But they do need to squat.
Some of you need to look beyond your own training and past the studies to seewhat most people need. Some of you get it, some don't.
This. Squats are not a pre-requsite for good healthand mobility. Movement is.
Volume must be relevant to the muscle size, ie the larger the muscle the greater the volume.
So for the "bros" doing say 3 variations, 3 sets of 10 reps each...90 reps. What do you say is sufficient for quads? 180-200 reps as Fadi is doing here?
So for an average quad that is twice the size of your pee shooters, 300 reps? ?I am THE Bro and I'm at approx. 150.
Yeah, Id go with with that or at least 150-160So for the "bros" doing say 3 variations, 3 sets of 10 reps each...90 reps. What do you say is sufficient for quads? 180-200 reps as Fadi is doing here?
I was thinking about this thread yesterday and wondering how you've been coming along @Fadi ; I'm quite curious to hear of your results.
It was during my workout yesterday when I was watching all the 'bros' do their multitude of different curling variations. I thought that most of them do 3 or 4 different exercises to hit one tiny muscle and here you are doing 1 exercise (albeit with a lot more reps) to work a much larger muscle. Whilst I do think that what the average punter does for their biceps is excessive, I can't help but wonder if you're leaving something on the table by only doing 1 movment for that muscle. Volume is king for growth as far as I am concerned but are you stimulating all the fibres with 1 movement?
This is of course (going by the previous posts) assuming you've dropped the other movements in your original post?
And I don't believe Volume is the king for growth, strength is.

Haha knew I'd get a biteWhat makes u think I'm rollyn pea shooters.....kunce.
Wrong thread. But if you are talking about Levrone, he has an exemption. Yay.why is he exempt from qualifying for the olympia?
Because of the title "Legs"?weird, not even been in this thread
Hey Mick, just taking it easy until Ramadan is over, then I'll be changing this up drastically, and will be writing a full article on my method and why I've come to the conclusions I have.Any results so far Fadi? And did you try the milk, if so how was it
