ENORMOUS BODYBUILDER TRIES TO SQUAT LIKE A POWERLIFTER!

they'll get don't get super pumped i won't be able to see a line in them yes four three two one that's it come on [Music] what's up guys larry here with carlos uh we actually were competing at nationals back in 2018 together you were middleweight back then we have actually yep 176 pounds and you are two thirty fifty two fifty now i can't believe gained 100 pounds yeah man it's uh three years it's been crazy so um yeah a lot of food and a lot of training a lot of heavy weights so we're gonna see what we can do today um so usually with my leg workouts i'm working with patrick tornow and he has me doing two working sets and the first set is just mostly a straight set of six to ten um as many feeder sets as i can to work up to that weight and then the second set is again six to ten but then it's an intensifier added on that so say if we did squats here it would be 6-10 for the first set uh 6-10 for the second set and then maybe like a drop set or maybe a cluster set so it's really our pick of the pic you know kind of pick your poison for the intensifier so we can get really down and dirty with it with the weights with the heavy weights or we can go slower with the negatives with the eccentrics okay okay perfect whatever we want to do today all right this is a squat bar yeah there's two kind of squat bars this i believe is a duffel squad bar but the tech squat bar i usually use is identical to this it can be identified with the knurling all the way from the cuff from the sleeve all the way through there's no smoothness so no matter where you place your traps your back on the bar you get knurling so it sticks and you feel it it's sharp yeah stronger yeah yeah yeah so it doesn't um slide off your back two it's extra long so for taller lifters big lifters most powerful strong men are um you can get a much more comfortable grip i get a much more comfortable grip on the bar usually with a stranded barbell i can't get my arms beneath it because it's too short and my range of motion is very limited so with this i could comfortably grab it anywhere and three um it's very rigid it's heavier 25 pounds oh my picking it up yeah you feel a difference oh yeah definitely yeah so that means you have less flex in the bar so when you're putting 79 even a thousand plus pounds on it it won't be bouncing on your back yeah any bar whip so it'll create as minimal instability as possible but this is by far the best bar squawking on it got it so once you go here you may not go back all right well i did run through a low bar reference like sure so a low bar you're gonna have it much more than that even and you want to get in position from the rack oh re-rack it can you go outside of it come on racket for a second you're going to want to wedge yourself on there i'll demonstrate real quick sure so i take a very white gift from my lemonade oh yeah yeah i probably appreciate it you might have to yeah you're way out here all right you're gonna really wedge yourself in so it's resting on your rear delt and then you don't stand up straight but you just stand up with the bar right over the center of your midfoot so you're never straight you're never here you're always here for so a little while load is only for speed what's the benefits of it stronger at least ten percent more weight you lift low bar versus higher yep there it is beautiful yeah that's perfect oh wow it's a perfect little damn dude i have to get used to it it's funny yeah you really do you know everyone wants to stand up straight they understand that you're stronger here than here so it's you but you caught that right away it looks good yeah i'll play around with it i'll play around six weeks [Applause] probably for this um i would use you start with hack squats sometimes and i'll do like a a 30 drop in the weight and i'll be like a negative but for this if you want to we could do um cluster which would be like four by four so for the second we would do six to ten in a for the second set it's like four by four we'll hit four rest 15 seconds hit four again rest for 10 seconds or again okay so it's a little tough it's a little it's a it's a barn burner but it's good okay i'll do my best all right let's do it that's on the second set yeah that's the second set first let's straight set six to ten okay but we'll work up to the heavy side of that awesome so you know what i mean set templates per side for you bro ten cleats for ten reps ten reps and now you know five plays for me you know i haven't squatted in about two or three weeks it's been the same for me nope been the same for me i've been doing hacks mostly hack squats that's why yeah i haven't done anything any formal squat anything but it's the worst way to build muscle but the best way to get strong this is why i come in fresh every time i really feel like my hands and my glutes activate on that more yeah because they're driving up like with the lower like in my hand like i get more it's all posterior yeah yeah you'll find politics generally don't have big quad sweeps yeah they're always your low bar squats okay high bar squats with that's an accessory movement yeah we'll do them maybe bearing the hypertrophy base for a couple of months then we'll do the next couple of months all heavy low bar squats yeah so you'll see a pocket generally with very over developed hamstrings glutes yeah i definitely feel the difference when i like go down i was like oh all here yeah he hasn't unveiled his shorts yet but his legs are good maybe one of the biggest i've ever seen wow you got it measured it i do emergencies about the end of the work all right last time i got a measure they were 31 inches i was going to say look at this wow yeah because romney's like a 33 oh wow or maybe maybe and we'll start doing like signals so so any any red lights ah no no no red lights oh wow all right that's it that's perfect that's perfect man same size waist goddamn that belt will add at least so 50 pounds what max at least 50. oh yeah but um there's also i just looked it up we can also do just max that six to ten for the second set then rest pause 15 and then do max reps again so what is it max reps well six to ten and then rest uh 15 seconds and then max reps for the second intensifier okay sure dropping my thirty percent uh again sure a little bit better than clusters of heavy of sixteen reps that'll kill so we could do that for the uh leg press probably those are really good too if we yeah you're more in a stable environment exactly i was actually thinking it over i was like it's a little bit as you're fatigued because you know like your core starts to fatigue and your chest is dropping further so yeah that's awesome what would happen but the leg press you're supported by the bench so yeah so this is a this is an awesome belt and this is your brand yeah yeah i love it nice it's pretty usually like yeah definitely yeah it's not look at the same size waist [Laughter] legs [Music] still getting used to this rack it's a bit uh when the weight gets heavier it's gonna be even tough to be honest a bit high like one too high maybe unless you go high five do you have it high in your traps unless you give you how you squat anyways though yeah yeah yeah yeah if you're higher what's your top setting going to be uh i got that for eight it felt good yeah um or anything yeah throw four ones see how it feels sure and then probably go from there but how you try aiming for like the upper number as much as possible so if i can hit 10 i'll probably increase it by a little bit like i said it's been maybe like five six weeks since i've done a back squat five six weeks right yeah what i've been doing yeah but i've been doing like a lot of hacks that's the thing so you should be more or less used to loading your back yeah yeah that's just a different bar yeah dude this is awesome this barbell is freaking amazing but you can't compare it to a standard 20 kg off brands no bar with no knurling and short flimsy yeah i'm gonna have to invest in one of these take these back home with me yeah we're not too expensive you always went to your gym are you talking about something it's not [Music] has a curvature in it right yeah this is the road swap right here almost identical to a texas swap bar if you get either or squats you'll be happy i gotta put i had to put the sleeves on no belt but i got put sleeves on dude yeah i told my acl back when i was playing ball and it's just like never been quite the same for sure so bigger better things now literally yeah i had a peg leg this one was so small this one was bigger i can't imagine for development yeah rehab was good we did a drop set it was five places we dropped and we did about five and a quarter we dropped to four i hit that for 20. but i was more cardiovascularly fit i was prepping right now i'm like i get gas from doing two reps cardio getting it higher in the track so you can clear the rack easily okay easy yeah sure are you gonna use wraps oh i forgot about you have some reps hey i do have rats we do have rounds with wraps on you'll get 65 yeah for sure you know but yeah he's explaining between like using like wraps and like the sleeves because i've been i was called was kind of the like i don't need wraps because it helped too much and you know i mean i want to feel the weight but i've been kind of leaning towards more just not so much more for assistance but more like more stability and uh protection a little bit more than like a sleeve so what do you like what do you think about like wraps versus sleeves a sleeve acts as protection it warms the joint yeah um a wrap can actually because of the extreme compression can actually cause knee pain and make it worse yeah i've actually experienced that yes yeah so people who use knee wraps generally they're piloting looking to squat as much weight possible while um being within the restriction of the competition like strongmen for example you can use a squat so you can use knee wraps piloting meat they have a wrap and a non-wrap division so you want to level the playing field and you want to use the equipment that your competition continues but from like a health standpoint it just it can make it worse and you're right about squat uh wraps squat wraps helping too much they certainly can add as much as 40 plus kg to one year max you're talking almost 100 pounds with a wrap squat versus with a sleeve squat that's why with different divisions you know and uh for example like the wrapped squat record is at least i believe a hundred pounds higher yeah than the sleeve record we're able to take a thousand forty and daniel bell just did 505 cages over 120 pounds um 110 pounds just a few days ago yeah so it's almost like a 100 pound difference from sleeping wraps you know um psychological as well if you always train in wrath you never use you never do heavy squats with sleeves um you'll only feel powerful when you have the wraps on so if you want to be good at both you have to train both you have to go heavy in sleeves and also heavy wraps yeah currently i've only been going heavy and wrapped so without my wraps on i don't feel confident because just how my brain has been conditioned yes to only squat having a drop song previously to this year yeah i've owned this car sleeve for years right with wraps on actually squat less but now i've been squatting heavy only with wraps for several months i feel much better and much stronger absolutely yeah it's a different movement it's not the same if you put those wraps on tight that can put them and you try and stop squat five plates it may feel like you have seven plates on your back you'll feel very unstable it's gonna feel very just a different movement yeah different mechanic okay okay yeah that's my idea no i think i think i kind of understand because i would always literally squat with no wraps no sleeves and i just like started using sleeves maybe about like a year or two ago and now i feel like i have to i get the three plates on the squat i feel like i kind of have to put this in you can depend yeah unless you were just work up to your max effort weight without sleeves on yeah if you always squat heavy with sleeves on you'll only feel confident and top wood sleeves that's how you condition your brain to work right so you suggest like kind of work both sometimes not necessarily it's just like what your goals are if you don't need what have you without sleeves it's not just no point you just don't have to you can rely on the sleeves it won't hurt got it you know it won't hurt okay make sense like tying them a little bit because i like don't know like if there's a really good way to tie them i kind of just go kind of what feels comfortable yeah i mean generally that's the idea you can watch dozens of how to rap me wrap videos on youtube some just go from the bottom just work the way up yeah um me i just do a couple loops on the bottom shorter than the ones i think i have they may be yeah yeah i think these have been shorter yeah i'm not sure how long yours are right i'm not sure either but they're pretty long and they don't even seem like they're like cranking it down really ridiculously no look you know what because i'm doing reps today yeah if i was his jewel uh one or max i would crank as much as possible right me and him were pulling the wrap together but for now like he's hardly tightening it he's like 30 right how hard he could really tighten them because it's still a warm-up weight for me but as i get heavier over the next two warm-up sets i'm going to wrap it tighter and chat each so i get to get used to the wrap because it is a different move it's a different mechanic you know make you certain always keep the knee locked i always keep the knee locked okay while he's wrapping keep the knee yeah i think that's something i wasn't doing i was keeping a little bit bent okay we're with you got it all [Music] all right nice you just smooth looking real good nice that's good that's good all right perfect awesome i'll probably work up and do my hip next with my head and i'll put this wrap somewhere let's squeeze the quad and lock it out yeah keep the knee locked don't contract okay i'll give you fatigue before your squats got it just keep it not locked damn see i don't know none of this yo i don't know none of this i'm just getting it oh yeah you hear that guys these wraps are good calm down we're here we're here yes thank you i think that's the most i've done in so long dude obviously that was more than i thought you'd get because five plays looked tough yeah but this didn't look any harder to be honest it looks just as difficult which is great it's 90 pounds heavier i think i'm so used to having like the uh like the braces right here yeah that like mentally it's just something i need i need someone like to like kind of just be right there of course yeah it's sketchy it's sketchy yeah i'm not using like this like this uh setup but i like it yeah i've been backstabbing so long that was great yeah i really liked the raptor man thank you it was like not because usually like i've been getting my wraps done and like like larry said they would bother my knee and cause pain but uh that was perfectly no pain support that was good yeah so good thanks boss i don't know if they got any lines in them right now wow don't get super pumped won't be able to see a line in them unbelievable i mean just look at mine these are big legs for like everyone else they are we're nine percent of people like once you put the legs together there yeah the right one oh my god oh you you guys are so close and excited and then from the side oh yeah you got to turn this side oh jesus so sorry larry hey don't be sorry i still got height you know yeah yeah yeah yeah that's what it is you had you had the same amount of muscles just stretched out over the height yeah i'm actually heavier you know yeah it is a bit more difficult to fill out a big frame wait oh definitely but at the same time you being 250 would be like me being 330. so i give respect to you because for you to be that big at this side doesn't mean it's easy oh it's uncomfortable you know yeah it's still very difficult it's hard it's definitely hard so like i've been 136 and i couldn't maintain that for two weeks so i know what goes into properly gaining size yeah yeah i think it's probably at this point it's been more difficult than like a prep trying to like restrict food just to force down all the calories and eating it you know going to sleep at 11 and waking up at 2 a.m to get your last meal in i think it's equal i think whether it's restricted or in calorie surplus done right i think they're equally difficult yeah i don't have a big appetite so i could always just go i feel like i can go without definitely yeah i'd be the same way i'd have an easier time getting shredded than trying to gain size yeah yeah for sure yeah but they both they're definitely equally terrible in their own rights yes i don't think one is any harder than the other if done right and done correctly of course yeah we just started a debate on the internet yeah right yeah yeah yeah what's harder i could eat like donuts and i've done that and it's hard yeah yeah it doesn't taste good anymore when you're doing it right like oh i don't want to see another [ __ ] doughnut potato or rice slice of bread i'm like no way yeah last time i squatted was uh originally leg training about three weeks ago two and a half three weeks ago actually did really well i did a 800 pound safety squat bar squat i was the one that's ever done ssb so but i have a low bar squats in ages it's been a very very long time several months it doesn't feel harder than ssb because i've conditioned my body to do low bar squats for years but it definitely doesn't feel any easier it feels about the same i want to say right now usually safety muscle squats should feel much easier for me than uh sorry low bars much much easier for me to take the wet squats but because i haven't done in a long time it feels about the same so we're just going to go for reps on this one i'm not going to say how many i'm just going to see what i can crank out let's go let's go come on come on i'm all right let's go let's go writing the next step we have to do now mm-hmm like six to ten and then we'll take a short rest pause drop the weight 30 or more if you need it and just do like as many reps as you can not really it doesn't matter if it's like four it's whatever you can get into okay sure a comfortable failure i don't know if failure is ever comfortable it sure isn't no worries if you've dropped a weight i can handle right now so um second set here uh gonna do the same weight for me i think i got like six on that one so i'm gonna shoot for same amount of reps maybe try to push for louisiana because i think that had maybe an extra in the tank um and then we're gonna rack it again whenever i finish with that and then deload by like 30 so maybe around four plates and i'll just go after as many as i can do alrighty perfect ah yes here it is yes okay four plates four plates that's four plates four plates yeah so just a 30-second break [Music] yes yeah so a little birdie in my head and you would have done four for like one or two yeah because your atp would have been so depleted so so here same thing six to ten and then uh we'll um do uh second set will be six to ten rest forty five and then it's like a drop set with rest time basically so you'll do your 6 to 10 on the second set rest 45 do your six didn't do max reps rest 30 max reps rest 15 max reps rest five seconds for max reps patrick is ridiculous it works exactly really it's uh i love it it's clearly working so what what what are you talking about um the same thing filler sets work up to whatever what you can do um all right how many representatives six to ten got you so the weight the the reps aren't really super high but it's max effort and then the second set is where you're definitely throwing in that that significant time or attention and just zapping your energy though it's good it's really good it doesn't seem like a lot but it does seem like a lot that's the thing this is like two words that so does it not seem like a lot to you guys comment below does it not seem like a lot of work she's like about 40 50 reps by the time we're done yeah yeah it's a lot it is fun all right well we got plenty of plates so so i like it heavy weights a lot of reps so jokes aside but having these chairs we can actually rest your back is a game changer for recovery when you're sitting hunched over on a bench for example or standing leaning over it doesn't really give your lower back a time to actually rest so when you get to lean back and lounge in a chair like this like a folding chair we can fully leave the tension off your back it does make a difference for recovery between sets does it i agree hopefully yeah it takes a lot of pressure off your lower back that's the good stuff that's it yes that's perfect i felt like that 10 was definitely a hard one oh no we'll do rest uh 90 seconds oh same way same weight hit six to ten and it'll be four five so okay uh did you just say [ __ ] yeah you say a lot of things adam i see a lot of things let's go dude that's really 30 seconds um that's really weird about me it's like i got i'll look good and then i'll just hit a wall yeah i'll be with you the whole time next time oh you got at least two more or i need to come in yeah there's like a water no way wait wait oh you're ready 15 please intense yeah let's go come on breathe all right you got me a little more one more doing it's just five second rest it's already up it's already uh it's already up i'll probably get like you ready boss do it wherever you are yep oh yeah now you see why he's stealing when he squats now it all makes sense it all comes together towards his legs so big just watch that lap that's hard dude so yeah so it's just the redstone just keeps dropping 45 as many as you can do 30 15 and then the five is like nothing dude right to it you get like one rep but it's just you know was building that time intention a lot of reps a lot of density within your workout so this is only two working times yeah hard work hard working set very hard yeah um yesterday had a little stomach virus yeah then the day before so if i were to come in here yesterday just doing legs i 100 percent of the [ __ ] my pants kind of look like a crime scene yeah probably a brown crime scene 30 seconds we're going for 10 again yeah yeah manage as many as you can do now okay it doesn't matter 10 and if you get 15 i'll one fourth rep five four three two one let's go come on nice rest come on two a to b three a to b come on come on come on you gotta go you gotta go you gotta go let's go come on yes yes again again come on we need to go to failure all the way up here one fourth rep on that 45 seconds i got something cool very heavy now leg's looking pumped he dunks god damn it doesn't take much for 27 inch legs to get pumped not as much blood needed three two one let's get it boss let's go come on yep good maybe come on 30 seconds here four three two let's get it come on boss i got you don't be afraid 15. 15. it's gonna go quick five four three two one let's go let's go come on all you got good i need a struggle fight through it go go go go go go let's go yep there you go there it is come on come on come on come on come on let's go get it get it there you go five four three two one let's rock and roll baby i don't care if it's one or two let's go all the way all the way go go go go yep i need two consecutive go yep come on baby that was that's crazy right yeah it's a good one nice one boss this is a fish over the next segment was yeah nice um there you go nice i did have a cinnamon yesterday oh yeah that's going to get you fat that's right fully loaded ready to rock and roll all right guys wrapped up today's leg workout with carlos and we worked up to a heavy set of low bar uh squats i worked up to seven plates for everything was nine um very happy with that spent several months up in low bar squats you did six plates for two sets of six and then it drops it then i dropped it right after which i find very impressive because i could not do anything after my tops and nothing i could barely sit down and breathe and let alone do a drop set with like 10 reps 400 pounds so super impressive and then make it you know the cherry on top was you did the leg press i don't know what that was 90 and 45 and 30 and 15 and five yup yup seconds of rest
