There was so much going on with the conversation I'm going to have to watch again tomorrow. 😆 another good workout. Time to get bigger faster stronger 💪 good stuff..
@@Egoliftdaily not actual break, but yeah i was stuck in bed and dreamed up this side quest lol. Your RDL’s are strong and you’re hilarious. Excited to see what you got coming up next .
Yeah, one of those things that you cannot unsee and totally changes your perspective on what's possible. Seeing stuff like that sticks with you. My buddy did 455lbs for 2 reps on the bench as a natty and I was the spotter. He didn't even train for it. He just did it on a whim. He had some advantages in terms of his build but witnessing stuff like that really does make a person raise their standards and believe that more is possible.
@@spencergraziano6840 he was one of those guys who were gifted but not really into strength training or powerlifting. He benched 225 his first time benching. He trained like a bodybuilder but never competed because, in his own words, "Bodybuilding competitions are gay. Bunch of men admiring other men's butts on stage." 🤣😂🤣 - so he never even tried competing in bodybuilding.
Ok, now I see how to load the step-ups. What do you think about the band around the neck on the dips? Are you having to fight getting pulled forward the whole time? Those Kroc rows were pure BEAST!!!
@@GetRightFitness thank you Mr Lucky. I don’t really have anything compare the dips to, I always do them this way when I’m not just testing my 1rm. I try to put the band pretty much straight down, but I do feel like doing an upright dip style might be hard, it kind of pulls you horizontal.
Great work champ! Football athletes are a different breed when it comes to strength and conditioning training. The mentality will program your mindset to push beyond any obstacle. Great story and your work capacity is great. Keep being GREAT champ!
@@NoMoTheUFO I feel like my work capacity improved so much (relatively speaking) from including 8 x 3 speed work as opposed to not doing it all. 1st to 2nd to 3rd session even though the effort might be more challenging the breathing feels easier. Doesn’t have to be enough to make you hate life but can still raise capacity. Especially since I’m only doing top sets on other movements right now. And so true, some people are really built different, not to down play any of the extreme hard work that it also takes to reach the highest levels .
Great story Spencer, some people are just genetically gifted, sound like your friend had great work ethic to go along with the genetics. I forgot to say, i loved the ninja turtles shirt the other day. 215 lb Kroc Rows???? It feels like you're upping the standard multiple times per week. We'll see what i got in the tank tomorrow. Thanks for the video, have a great night
@@buildingdadbod2.0 I didn’t think I could fit it because I thought the other 35s were too tall. Worked out okay. Hit my stomach / shoulder / ribs best I could to get good height. Better than a million reps with 95 lol. Might stay 155, 175 , 195, 215. Idk it’s nice being able to tolerate some dips and chins in there again .
@@spencergraziano6840 🤣😂 You could turn a set of 95 lb kroc rows into a 3 hour workout these days. Yeah, I would love to see what your chin-up max would be injury free. Even with the bad shoulder and forearm issue, they are very strong and explosive.
@@spencergraziano6840 The plan was just to go 165 lbs tomorrow. I'm trying to build slowly and see how this left forearm responds. I'm honestly worried if I push this left arm too hard to fast, I may finish this radial brachialis tendon off for good. I'll probably stick to the plan, even though I now want to hit at least 185 for double digits.
@@buildingdadbod2.0the forearm Issue was on both sides or just left ? So left forearm and tricep nerve that’s rough. I think I can still hit relatively the similar weights on chin-ups , the main difference is the amount of speed. When I can handle those jumping off chin ups bodyweight and smoking 75lb first warmup we’ll be back on 😂. The nice thing about them climbing while doing them infrequently is I don’t have to worry about them. The downside of doing high frequency and then taking some more days off the peak strength falls off fast too. When I got up to 215 I was thinking hmmm almost 10lbs over bodyweight, I think we said you did a few triples at that weight so I would try to shoot for a set of 5 to match that eventually. So I was like okay 6 was a good solid set😂

@@thebodybeatdownDiTi I always think of a topic and it never comes out as planned lol. Ty for watching big man .

@@cardinal8044 there’s a handful of strength feats you just can’t forget when you see em 😆
So my guy, you broke your hip and now you're on a quest to break a zercher record? That's awesome, mayne. Keep at it. I just subbed now.

@@Egoliftdaily rocked up and smoked 455 double 😳😳. What was his bodyweight ? Not that it matters that’s insane lol
@@spencergraziano6840 he was 260lbs at 5'3". He's around 200 nowadays since he's a pastor now and doesn't spend that much time anymore into lifting.
@@Egoliftdaily 455 x 2 by a natty friend in person, 🤣 unreal pastor.
