Freak your BACK out & GROW
INTRO
The training madness articles are real stuff that we do at the old school gym the official gym of musclepharm. We like to train no holds barred with a a mixed crazy concept of bodybuilding, power lifting & functional training. I am passionate about the way I train & want to change others around me, but also screw the conventional 3×10 bullshit you got to make it intense, tough & get out of your comfort zone to really change your body. We leave it all out on every workout. I am here to change all of the musclpharm disciples into straight up animals in the weight room.& if you already train that way here is some new shit.
Article #1 FREAK your Lats OUT– Pullups for 1 hour or 200 reps +
Story:
Most guys in the gym shy away from pull-ups because they are hard but the gym rats who really know what the do for your back & shoulders go right after the pull-ups bars hanging off the concrete wall at the old school gym. Everyone has to start somewhere my first day of pull-ups I was 15 & doing back with Dustin Myers my partner at the Old school in his dad kims garage. He weighed in at about a wet 125 then & he ripped off 25 pull-ups on his first set. I jumped up then & hit 1 yep 1 freaking rep. 3 sets of 1 wow pretty impressive uh. So don’t misunderstand me go after the pull-ups & it will make your back freaky don’t shy away because they are hard. Once you get good they are something to be proud of my best yet now 33 reps or 2 reps with 100 lbs hanging off my waist.
I came up with the great idea to really freak out my back that we would do multiple type of grips & handles to hit Pullups for 1 hour straight only 2 of us with the lowest amount of rest possible. Other days we would do 200 reps & that takes about 1 hour or so also. So me a my boy Dust would hit the first 4-5 sets overhand wide boys. Next we would go with a close overhand grip. Your lats are so full of blood by this point you feel like a freak. Then we would incorporate the seated row bar or ROCKY 4 pull-up’s we call them for a few sets. . Next Dustin’s favorite we go with wide behind the neck pull-ups which are tough by this point. Lastly we will go with your traditional under grip bicep type pull-ups. You are a dogg if you can finish this routine & I know some of my muscle pharm boys out there are ready for the challenge.
Workouts looks like:
Pullups for 1 hour or 200 + reps
Wide grip overhand
Close grip overhand
Seated row bar rocky 4 style
Behind the neck wide
