    Daniel and Geoffrey Verity Schofield are around the same height (both 6' / 183 cm tall if I'm right) but Daniel is around 190 lbs /~ 86 kg and Geoffrey Verity Schofield is around 105.8 kg/232.8lbs. I think if Daniel would be willing to be more "fluffy" he could bulk up to 200 lbs or 210 lbs. 💪😎 Either way both gentlemen look amazing.

  • @DavidBreneisen
    @DavidBreneisen Місяць тому +8

    For the technique question, what I do is periodically lower the max weight and increase reps with cleaner technique. Then I progress back to where I was and beyond. This also allows more time for the tendons and ligaments to adapt to higher weight and avoid injuries.

  • @tokimeki8746
    @tokimeki8746 Місяць тому +5

    Had to laugh when you talked about examples of gym injuries in the beginning, because my worst one genuinely is that I dropped a 45lbs plate on my big toe. Finished my workout, actually, but by the evening it hurt so bad I couldn't sleep that night. It's been almost a year now and it actually still looks a bit swollen, but luckily feels completely normal.

    It's true what Geoff says about leg press and back squat. I was repping 5 plates on the leg press for 10, my quads had grown a good amount and I decided it was time to start doing squats, ass to grass.
    I had to start at 135 for 5's, huffin and puffin.

  • @Hyperborean_2
    @Hyperborean_2 Місяць тому +2

    Leg press is stressing the lumbar area big time.. as it forces the sacrum bone out of its natural position under huge amount of load. Combined with deadlifts, these movements gradually weaken the joint (L4-L5-S1) between lumbar and sacral areas.
    Neglecting the spine is not a joke.. I'm speaking from experience

    @DCJayhawk57 Місяць тому

    Top sets are great for hypertrophy. I use that approach all the time on certain compound movements, and will throw it in when I've stalled on isolations. Strength is still very necessary for long term progression, and I don't think you can just do 8-12 reps straight sets forever.
    This is also great on weighted pullups especially, these can be very difficult to progress. I've been doing a first set in the 4-8 rep range, back off sets 6-10, and then an AMRAP at body weight.
    It goes without saying that this is a great way to progress your upper body presses, especially barbell.

It's not that complicated. The squat and leg press mostly hit the same muscles (slightly different emphasis) apart from the low back which can be hit using a deadlift or back extension.

    I got a 20 kg plate on my big toe on my left foot. It was after a session of hack squats where i put the weight just unto the outmost outside of a rack of weights, almost hanging off it. Later in the training session I got back to that rack of weights and was pulling that weight off it, but it slipped and dropped on my left big toe. An immediate screech of pain and a "numb feeling". The stupid thing is that I limped but continued to train in that session full of adrenalin and that numbing down of pain feeling in the toe. I had to finish a planned session and with the numbness it surely wasn't as bad as thought?
    It took about six weeks to recover from and the first couple of weeks I thought it would be permanent damage to the foot/toe.

      ​@@liamburns8554 gvs is just wrong about that point though. Isolation work is a great way to break through sticking points with the compounds. It absolutely translates. Especially if you identify a weak point. Like say if I'm failing pullups with a crazy bicep pump and burn. Bicep curls can catch up my biceps so i can get more pullups and lats become the limiting muscle again.
