@willieb.hardigan64027 ай бұрын
@@waldmeisterbrehm I was mostly training and competing in powerlifting for many years so that played into it of course, but essentially I was just following a mix of specific powerlifting training with auxiliaries for general bodybuilding. When I stepped away from powerlifting due to some unrelated injuries and got into bodybuilding more, I sort of floundered around with approaches. I was dedicated and consistent in doing the work, but I didn’t focus intensity into fewer sets, and instead spread it out across long workouts with many sets. When it all clicked - I first did Dorian’s blood and guts approach strictly for 6 months, then I discovered Tom’s approach for legs. I combined the two approaches by essentially doing blood and guts for upper body and Tom’s insane style for squats/lower body. I put on mass, enjoyed the gym more, and was far more efficient in the gym (less time lifting). That allowed me time each week to also enjoy getting into cardio, which I was terrible about previously. TLDR: I do less sets but they are extremely intense. Blood and guts almost to the T for upper body, Tom one “real set” insanity for legs. There is nothing groundbreaking about what they preach, but the simplicity of it mentally saw me pushing myself to the absolute limit. When I train squats, for instance, I leave everything I have at that rack.

I feel obligated to tell that nonostant it is a known thing. Yesterday I went to the gym and I wasnt feeling great before it and I was thinking maybe I shouldnt go....and I thought to myself.....some almost 30 years ago Dorian through the snow walked to the gym preparing for Mr. Olympia, and I am driving myself with the car to have a relaxed workout in the gym . I have no problem, no snow, it should be fun, and it was fun. To be honest, I could write nothing, I could just give a like to the video, being midle aged, working, accomplished in life with family and no problems in life but I felt it is right to write something personal to the man who is inspiration to me......and yes, just to shake hand to You it would be an honour and a moment to remember. Through all of my youth and now being able to hear more advices from you through social media I could say - your tips, advices and raccomandations are a tresure! I have been working out for 30 years and still I get something to know much more from You - positives, negatives, dont do it with momentum and etc. it is not all about only regarding the training, there is much more because You evolved through the years much more than the others, and from You people can hear things about life, spirit and other things.
