    Alot of knowledge here fellas. My dad taught be about Tony Atlas and working out with just his hands and resistance when I was just a little kid and didn't even know who he was.
    Alot of people don't realize how much knowledge goes into bodybuilding.

    That is the exact way the weight room was when i played high school football, except we had to do atleast 8 reps, everybody had to max out once a month

    Tony, do you remember a North Carolina man named Whitey Edwards? He said he was a bad motherfucker and you ran with him. He used to hit people with a playmate cooler and drink Milwaukee Best Light until he dropped kicked porcelain toilets in rented apartments.

    The strongest I’ve ever been, which is nothing impressive, was repping 275lbs for 12. I weighed 170 at 6 ‘ at the time.
    I would start with just 45s then add 10s after each set. In between sets I would do 10 incline and 8 decline push-ups.
    Used all the 10s in the gym but hey I worked out early so it didn’t bother anybody. Got me to hit 315 for 3. That’s what worked for me but I did use my shoulders too much after listening to the legend.
    225lb became something I could rep 17-20 time with no rir. Going to give the old routine a try with a pencil.
    Football was all about training light then heavy for double days. The rotate heavy to light

  • @LonesomeNomad137

    We used to do a hundred rep work out. We’d start with 135lbs, and then add 2 5lb plates and do as many as we could. We’d continue this until we hit 100 reps.

  • @billseka4141

    The steroids allow the incredible strength to do this reps at extreme weight so don't for a minute think Tony Atlas was natural because everyone that gets that massive takes high amounts of steroids and if you're lucky you'll live long but many are long gone.
