Victor Martinez and Akim Williams Train Shoulders for the 2019 Arnold Classic

three weeks before the 2019 Arnold Classic to MHP athletes one a former Arnold Classic winner and the legend of bodybuilding and the other a young contender in the midst of a career transformation meet at iron bound Fitness in Newark New Jersey for a shoulder trading session though both athletes are clearly in the throes of low-carb contests dieting and dragging a bit they bring as much intensity to the gym these last weeks and they can knowing that their competitors are getting the same thing at this very moment in a previous MHP video we showed how a keen williams is adapting to a new way of bodybuilding with the help of his trainer oscar Arden setting aside his love of heavy lifting for a controlled style that will refine his physique Victor Martinez 20 years his senior is dealing with a gashed finger today the result of breaking a glass while washing dishes right before this video session unsurprisingly Victor no stranger to hardship presses on with a makeshift bandage holding his finger together Victor will sub for Oscar today helping guide Akeem toward a workout style that will produce the best effect on the Arnold stage despite the fact that Victor's himself will be competing there as well you guys see Hakeem or garlic pizza definitely pleasing watching work out because it's form and my thing is when I watch somebody training up crazy about form and steady and stable no jerky movement and it's just straight one two sittings also yeah what is it 66 yeah yeah definitely strong but uh the form is primo the only on show the press first because you know this is uh say about almost two and a half weeks away Arnold Classic and that's the basic bread and butter of shoulders it can leave them for last so Warnock goes out before we got out I'm just here for look you don't need a spot first one Oh Cal the suicides that we want to go how did you go forward to die Somali I just want to drop that Oh as you get closer to show a lot of work out start becoming twice a week especially as you want to deplete the muscle longer a little bit longer it could be shorter it'd be already in shape for us could be shorter sit on key dropping that weight so it varies based on where you are condition wise this is the point where I need it to know drop 50 should take a lot of energy out of you go it's great cause he won those a drop set tired depleted has every right to cheat for car for corner come on jerk the movement throw it and it's still steady you know concentrating on muscle [Music] stability [Music] [Applause] [Music] pre-con says I tend to incorporate both dumbbells and Barbeau all season I alternate between one of the other of the other workout people say of course is a say movements far as pressing goals with the angle notice the dumbbells up to the side and allows you actually get that extra bit of a squeeze you can work them in where the presses you got all your upper clavicle the front and it's just straight up doesn't allow you to hit that extra inversion plus it's more stable movement the bar everything is stabilized so you're recruiting a little bit of a different muscle fiber you know be able to just focus in on pressing more than vs. stabilizing the dumbbells like you know the working muscle put our 2/4 design we do it drop the Quran take out the 45 but too cold not searching [Music] Roger Roger accurate the short one [Applause] [Music] oh it is the guys things those work half reps but even half works have the purpose and it's different fibers different ending of the muscle very effective yeah I need stitches on one superglue [Music] a half point let's go to properly [Music] these are midpoints it's the bottom part on the shoulder right before you lift and it creates that belly reaching the bicep and the brachialis is that nice [Music] [Music] they want to roast your shoulders this is it right here now mind you again alternating from free weights so we've seen this is just today last week that's worked out there was don't go free weight again it just allows you to stay more stable concentrate directly on that belly of the shoulder [Music] you got so much muscle I think he's actually not doing the movement but he is again it's every little move just small with it what one degree up your feeling is contracting that one point we're gonna hit again we're hitting full shoulder and half fret so hit the bottom [Music] people usually do the read those little flexible they overextend on the way back with almost doing like a reverse chest press and it's hitting more of the trap it's not be right where hits the red belt so it's likely gonna hit the trapezius but that's not your mango I mean goes results and your hand should be directly even in your red nose shouldn't be higher or lower [Music] Oh more [Music] [ __ ] read those from hell [Music] one more that's wrong [ __ ] is killing me the Kimmy's gonna happen on the stage and a little bit better double single double for money I'm invincible what are you doing 1215 1250 do that and then turn on the sink then but I have to drop the weight though come on everyday for now every little thing we do it's for the show wake up in the morning brush your teeth cardio ETB pose he trains he pulls again this day in day out this is now every day every day and this is where it's going to make a lot of guys a break them because now that's when the psychic goes in mental strength either fail your diet and you think you're ready push a little bit harder and I'm gonna go push harder [Music] so it's called are you oh cool [Music] William yeah ended up oh [ __ ] 309 that's a my meter hops 305 [Music] [Music] good thing is the more you work out unless you feel the pain put morning in the car Oh guys ticket that's it for today not really some cardio tonight some posing tonight putting in three sessions a day just chipping away detail can you put on a little bit more muscle just attack right now is about conditioning and presentation I feel like doing one more movement to finish up if I do one more move that can be a head of Aquila what do you say come on let's do it this door [Music] [Music] he's just for me one extra set it's not gonna let you catch up on 20-plus years he's like ending with this one to isolate the shoulder caps usually two sets fifty [Music] [Music] brought to you by [Music]
