Here's the thing though: You don't need to lift heavy weights to stimulate muscle growth. Any weight that you can lift for 5 to 30 reps until(or close to) failure will make your body grow muscle
@@jacobsvetich8735 but working intensely can mean different things for different people no? For example, doing high intensity hiit it cardio is also working hard
That's not the message of the video. It's the contrary: there are top level bodybuilders who managed to get there in spite of not putting in some hard ass work. So most maxed out optimal plans aren't actually useless unless you do that
Ronnie also had something unique, he was highly quotable. Every time I need to mentally prepare myself Ronnie pops into my head shouting "light weight!"
@@loves2smooch384Jay didnt train light despite whats said now you can see footage every training session he’s going hard. I don’t get this new idea that pros train like pussies because it’s simply not true.
@@loves2smooch384thing is, he was probably on to something. He went until he felt the burn, probably like 2 reps in the tank. Most research showing that's probably fine. Not like he didn't move huge weight too
There is a difference between working hard and doing sets to failure, and going too heavy so often that your body disintegrates. Train smarter, not harder.
I'm still learning even now to know what trying feels like. It's easy to let yourself off the hook and be like today was challenging. But that's not the same as CHALLENGING lol
Yep. As a Natural, training is the only stimulus for muscle growth, so you have to push yourself hard to get big and continue progressing, especially at a competitive level. Enhanced though, a lot of them can simply go through the motions of training, while relying on PEDs for most of their growth. I've straight up seen it more times than I can count.
@@PlayerSkillFTW thats not true. I'm a natural and i dont lift to failure i still grow after 12 years of training. Its more about genetics. Not about failure training

It's about consistency lifting heavy like Ronnie it's only a matter of time before you hear that pop! Then your not lifting for a year+ which isn't consistent.
You gain more muscle not working out while on gear compared to actually working out as a natty lol. You could do anything and still get jacked if you are on gear

I actually agree, but most now, just take all the gear in the world and not train as hard, nor do they look as good 💯
Arnold didn't train with intensity. He did alot of cheat reps with lighter weight and spent hours in the gym. Mentzer spent no more than 30 mins training till failure and Yates spent no more than 1 hour training till failure
Even now in his limited state, he's still going for reps! Arnold even asked him why and he simply said "That's the only way I know how!" Hope he's back on his feet soon 🤞
I'm natural and as my experience grew year by year its becoming crystal clear that you can not grow decently naturally without bulking and training hard to failure.
No one has ever got in great shape through easy workouts. That what separates the best from the rest. Weightlifting is a progressive sport which means you have to continually improve your training regime whether that’s working harder or working smarter!
It is by the juice of sapho that thoughts acquire speed, the lips acquire stains. The stains become a warning. It is by will alone I set my mind in motion.
Yet another uninformed comment about what happened. Ronnie had injuries, and was supposed to get surgery. He didn’t want to risk missing competition, so he trained through the injuries, and decided it was worth the risk for him. WTF that has to do with putting in maximum intensity, I’d sure like to know. If you wanna use Ronnie as an excuse to go half ass, feel free, but understand it wasn’t his intensity that put him in a wheelchair. It was training through major injuries, all to be the GOAT
@@thetowndrunk988 How do you think Ronnie got injured in the first place buddy? The intensity and loading to his spine lifting those “heavy ass weights” contributed to many of his injuries…specifically many of his damaged intervertebral discs…. If he had gone a little less intense with less weight and more rest and recovery he might be able to walk today. His intensity was absolutely a factor in his injuries.
@@CM-ky5go He actually first got injured in high school playing ball, and never had it properly repaired. He’s said it a million times. If intensity automatically means you’ll be in a wheelchair like Ronnie, then why isn’t Tom Platz in a wheelchair?
@@thetowndrunk988 No one said intensity automatically means you’ll completely ruin your back, it also comes down to genetics, form, weight, number of reps you do, etc. Platz and Ronnie also trained differently when it came to legs. Platz is famous for doing 525 pounds 23 times or whatever it was. He didn’t go quite as heavy as Ronnie for less reps. The heaviest Platz ever did on squat was 635… for 10 reps. He didn’t try to go all out like Ronnie squatting 800 pounds for 2 reps. Squatting really heavy weight close to your body’s failure/max squat weight is how a lot of people get injured. Keeping the weight lighter and focusing on reps can eliminate the chance of a lot of those injuries.
@@CM-ky5go First off, Tom Platz squatted a 1 rep max 765 in a contest against Fred Hatfield, so obviously he did hit heavy weight. Second, let’s look at the context of the video, and what the OP said. The video is saying effort is extremely important, and the OP implies that effort put Ronnie in a wheelchair. Of course again, I must stress the point that Ronnie trained FOR YEARS while injured. Third, why is it then that elite level strongmen and powerlifters aren’t all in wheelchairs, because we’ve certainly seen numbers far higher than what Ronnie ever put up?
Yeah I saw a video of Jay Cutler watching a video of himself bench press and he was pretty shocked he was using 225lbs on a more narrow grip bench with slow rep form and said he stopped even going past 185lbs but I mean he said that was from a shoulder injury.
Yes it does. Roids now allow you to push harder than your body can recover from. But natural ego lifters lift into their 60's and beyond. Ask me how I know.... I'm 60, lift time natural and approaching a 5 plate 220kg bench at 100kg bodyweight.
Top guys weren’t even trying in the gym… yet Mike also says that roofs ARENT a shortcut… very mixed messaging on this. I think he’s trying to preserve his own ego on this
I love redefining my limits at the gym. Almost giving out on preacher curls, going for that stretched eccentric on upright rows, until the weight is not going up anymore. I think that pain is what keeps most people from truly training to failure. From a standpoint of survival instinct, who can blame them? The body gives off signals to stop and save yourself, after all. I do think it is an advantage, to have the type of constitution that does not shy away from crossing a pain threshold in training.
The mentality really is everything. When the pain starts kicking in, learning how to work through it is crucial. Learning how to grind out a stalled rep is crucial. That’s what makes the big difference, in the grand scheme.

I hate that whenever I go hard in anything, especially squat or compound leg movement, but also even sprints or any high intensity effort; I always get light headed man it’s so annoying I either almost throw up and pass out too much and shit isn’t even heavy 😭😭
It's called intensity! If you're not sweating and fucking tired when you're done working out, then you didn't workout hard enough! I think this should be encouraged before all science-based training
Most gym goers spend their energy on physical job and then can't push to the limit in evening. I did 20 reps sets for biceps and triceps and didn't feel fully recovered even after 5 days.
@@jarkkojukkola9790 Well, I went to college for 4 years, then became a truck driver, then a small fleet owner. Worked 70+ hour weeks, doing platform (chaining, strapping, tarping), yet still managed to compete in powerlifting for almost 20 years…… I’m well into middle age now, do more pure bodybuilding/hypertrophy training, and still push myself hard AF in the gym, despite knowing gains are probably behind me. Mainly because I refuse to allow excuses to block me. Just saying….
I optimized my training and nutrition for years, trying to create the perfect routine. 2 years ago i decided to stick with the basics. Eat what i know is good for me, train how i want to train, train when i feel like my body has recovered. My progress has been unreal, but then again i think its mostly my genetics.

@@BrandonRohe That's junk volume. I rather do 3 to 4 sets till failure and not risk losing muscle. Educate yourself. Bodybuilding workouts aren't the same as endurance workouts
@@ijazaziz8531 that was a somewhat sarcastic response meant to highlight the clear idiocy of your statement that “training to failure” is somehow an absolute cap on intensity that in no way can be surpassed. Also, Dr. Mike & Menno Henselmans just had a podcast discussing a meta-analysis which showed that upwards of 50+ sets for a muscle per week can continue to create more hypertrophy than lower amounts of volume. Regardless, I’m surprised you’ve never heard the phrase “training beyond failure” or other methods such as rest pause training that Dr. Mike also talks about. If you want to train harder than the last time you trained to failure, you have the tools of adding frequency, volume, reps, rest pause, spotter-assisted reps past failure, shortened rest times, lengthened partials after failure at full ROM, and probably dozens of other techniques you can research and discover. I “trained to failure” last time therefore there is no way to train harder than that is a conclusion worthy of only ignorance, a lack of intelligence, or both. Get real lol.

Yeah but alot of body builders dont want to end up like Ronny..Paul Dillet the man with delts like half bowling balls also said after his shoulders became unscrewed . I could have trained with half that weight and still have the same shoulders. Do you want to be a power lifter or body builder ?
Take all RIR and failure and volume and Mike Mentzer and Rich Piana 8 hour arm day and anything you can think of for training out of the equation the single most important thing you can do is train hard.

Bill Starr always said work so hard your eyes cross on the final set.
Sometimes I think I am spent at the end of a set, but then if I actually try, I can sometimes squeeze out one or two more reps.
Ronnie’s spine is fused and he can’t walk without crutches because of the way he trained you genius.
Man looks like a god

Ronny should not be a good example for anyone. As much as I admire him, he is no role model for proper training.
Your the Best troller bro. Pls make more rdr2 content❤
BRO IS INSANE BUT DAMN THE PAIN HE IS IN NOW MUST SUCK BAD
Part of gaining muscle is convincing your body you need it. You do that by lifting heavy and often
No disrespect but that is why he ended on a wheelchair. Other bodybuilders trained smart and continue living a regular life after their careers.
yeah if you call having small balls and low T the rest of your life normal
True.
LIGHT WEIGHT BABY!

Take all RIR and failure and volume and Mike Mentzer and Rich Piana 8 hour arm day and anything you can think of for training out of the equation the single most important thing you can do is train hard.
Like The Bugez says
“The Pencil necked science based lifter will be smaller than the guy who just lifts heavy and often” or something like that idk
