You're probably right, that probably doesn't happen. Because then they start concentrating on contracting while repping out 8kg DBs, then 8.5, then 9.......His advice has it's place but let's be real show me anyone who has developed decent arms by concentrating on contracting while repping out 7.5kg dumbells, doesn't happen. It's this kind of shit that leads to young guys doing ridiculous programmes and never progressing.
Honestly, I'm surprised this is even being debated, these principles have been around since the dawn of bodybuilding.

Oz I'm not disagreeing that these training principles have their place or that bb vs pl are two different sports but mate you have to agree dropping the weights and doing exhaustion sets, pyramiding etc etc is better left to guys that have already built a base. It's a training style for big units not blokes that aren't already stacked or well on their way. Even then the weight matters cause it's relative to what you are already lifting.
How is it that I can fail at 10 reps with a 20kg dumbell, or at 10 reps with a 12kg dumbell? The 2nd instance is using my bicep to curl, the first instance I am using my delts, momentum and my biceps and not using full ROM and squeezing at the top and fighting the negative.
That is the point of the video, The video isn't telling you not to train as heavy as you can, but to reasses how heavy you can actually train.
