i think its misplaced assertiveness imo. He dosent always get this blunt but its jarring when he does and stands out. is it insecurity next to a better looking more jacked "competitor"? immature if so. I think Chris is usually quite nice, not sure why he gets int othis patronising style. not a good look
The Mind Muscle connection is huge and should not go unnoticed for anyone looking to transform themselves or at least better their training. This finally clicked this year for me after years of stubbornness and the results have been wonderful. Also the best quote I heard elsewhere but fits "Your muscles can't count" they don't care what the number on the weight is or how many reps you do. They care how much you are tearing them down in a proper way and how you fuel them after your workout.
Mind muscle connection is the way. It also encourages you not to "cheat" by recruiting other muscles by focusing intensely on perfecting your form and really feeling feeling the strain in the muscles that should be hit. Can be a bit more mentally taxing though.
I think it's overrated and gone too far nowadays. People are coming up with stupid exercises and/or not challenging themselves on basic exercises for the sake of mind muscle connection. Intensity and form comes first.
Yup. Going zero reps in reserve, as in you can't do more reps even if someone threatened you with a gun, is the key - OR going atleast close to it. Yeah, your muscles can't count, and many people stop when they get to a certain number even if they could do way more. No wonder you aren't growing.
He probably isn't liking the exercises he's choosing. For example for the calves he chose seated which doesn't even hit the calf muscle we see. For shoulders he had a redundant movement instead of a side delt movement etc.
Almost perfect, but it just lacks a bit of quads and unilateral work to get muscle imbalances fixed. If you would replace pullovers with Bulgarian splitsquats, you would have a winner.
Im about the same as you but would change: Squats Deadlift -> Farmers carry Bench press Overhead press Barbell rows Cleans -> Shrugs or Lat Pulldown if you dont like wide grip pull ups Pull ups Pull overs -> Calf raises Dips Push ups
I have to disagree. A proper full clean and squats just blast your quads. Unilateral work, I agree. But a dumbell press and split squats instead of regular squads could fix the issue and you could keep the clean for force production.
Ryan will go down as one of the best physiques in history. The chap lives like a monk, is humble and so appreciative of everything in life. What a pod.
Never seen either of these dudes before. Some quality info from Ryan Terry alright. Damn, this Chris guy could do with lightening up. "Let me just interrupt you while you are answering my question with another question while I stare intently at you to demonstrate my dominance". Terry seems like a chilled dude. No need for that at all.
He was interested and trying to get real information. Sometimes when a conversation is really relaxed you don't get the information you are looking for. You get side tracked or get BS throw away answers because the other person doesn't think it is serious.
Best comment on this thread ,,,,when I finally learned that after 20 years of lifting my best gains and pumps happened when I engaged my mind to muscle instead of ,,,,,ego lifting
To get the best rounded with only 10 I’d pick. 1. Walking DB lunges 2. Lying hamstring curl 3. DB later raise 4. Bent over barbell row 5. Incline DB press 6. Medium mag grip lat pulldown 7. Preacher curl 8. Ez bar skull crusher 9. Hanging leg raise 10. Seated calf raise.
This is coming from a guy that’s 49 & been lifting every week for 20 yrs. No injuries ever. Just stay consistent & you won’t be able to deadlift & squat as you age. Just be good to your body.
When I'm at the gym, so many (guys) have poor form, poor isolation of the muscle the exercise is trying to isolate (try locking the elbows), and vastly insufficient range of motion. When I suggest to them a better range of motion, the typical excuse is "I'm recovering from a shoulder injury". The reason WHY you had an injury is because of shitty form and incomplete range of motion. Gets more important as you age. As you age, more reps, less weight, and full range of motion is the key. Too many boneheads getting injured as a result of training stupid with lots of weight to show off, only to end up getting passed by the old man doing moderate weight, higher reps to failure each set, and full range of motion and proper form.
Dumbbell bench press Incline seated overhead press Diagonal pulldowns Hammer curls Rope tricep extensions Squat variation Deadlifts Loaded hip thrusts Decline situps Calf raise variation That's an excercise for every muscle group and it still isn't comprehensive, eg no upper trap excercise, only one lat/mid back excercise which is a compromise between a vertical and horizontal pull, not side or rear delt exercise. I think it's better not to limit yourself to 10 excercises.
i do iso's every day. not like he says. but kind of in the same way. since i've been doing them i've actually gained muscle and i'm bigger than i've ever been. that's cool that he talks about that because i never hear anyone talk about iso's. what i do is 3-5 rounds of dip and pull-up iso's. so i hold at the top of the pull-up bar and i try to breathe all the air out, then i naturally inhale and try to exhale fully again. do that for 30 seconds. then dip bar hold at the top and do that again. that's a great arm pump but also an amazing core exercise as well.
Based on Ryan Terry's recommendations, the ten exercises are: 1. **Deadlifts:** Fundamental for overall strength and muscle development. 2. **Bench Press:** Essential for chest and upper body strength. 3. **Squats:** Key for lower body strength and overall muscle growth. 4. **Hanging Leg Raises:** Effective for core strength and developing the midsection. 5. **Incline Dumbbell Chest Press:** Targets the upper chest with a focus on muscle development. 6. **Dumbbell Shoulder Press:** Important for shoulder strength and isolation. 7. **Lying Hamstring Curls:** Preferred for hamstring development with better contraction. 8. **Seated Calf Raises:** Focuses on the Soleus muscle for calf development. 9. **Overhead Tricep Extensions (Rope, from bottom pulley):** Targets the triceps with emphasis on proper form and muscle engagement. 10. **Close-Grip Pull-Ups:** Primarily a back exercise but also effectively engages the biceps as a secondary muscle.
These are great for people without muscle imbalances but if you have true posture issues, pelvic tilt, overactive pecs, lats, weak back muscles etc. most imbalances plaguing sedentary lifestyles. Dont go into any weight lifting session without first correctly stretching and activating proper muscle groups.
The intensity the comments are pointing out is partly because of the way the two men are positioned. Were they not fully facing each other, but slightly angled, it wouldn’t feel nearly as confrontational.
I’m a 40 y/o firefighter and I work with guys well into their fifties. It’s cool to talk to guys like this bodybuilder, that move around heavy weight with perfect form but the real studs jerk, pull, push, and lift in every wrong way to achieve a goal….daily. Interview them.
I like that he went with pullups for the bicep exercise. When you work your back and your back grows, the biceps will come along for the ride. Curls are a waste of time, unless you have time to waste. Same.goes for shrugs. Do loaded carries or cleans, because you'll get jacked traps as well as hitting so many other muscle groups.
Completely agreed. Unless you have time to burn in the gym, single-muscle isolation exercises are a waste of time, unless at the very end of the workout. Bicep curls and triceps extensions can be avoided with other compounded movements. The dumbest thing I see is newbies using light dumbbells for the inclined press, as that's all they can lift. For newbies, stick with the machines to avoid injury, and to progress to moderate weight so that you can use dumbbells as an option. Machines are underrated but are intended to prevent injury, and are also time-efficient.
Dang i did the same thing. I went OD on abs for years. Like 12-15 sets once a week for abs... weighted ab wheel... standing ab weheel... weight leg lifts... my lower back is messed up now . I do 2 sets of standing ab wheel per week now and it maintains what ive bullt. My lowwr back is still trashed. But much better than it was.
Why is everyone thinking Chris is tense because of something?? I think he just does it on purpose in a kind of sarcastic kinda way to highlight the fact that even though he's not interrogating, the things that are discussed are very important and helpful.
Lifting heavy objects off the ground and put it somewhere between head high or higher pulling heavy chains walking backwards pushing heavy objects forward
It may appear rude but he is just getting the meat out of the interviewee as time is limited and getting straight to the info he wants. I feel this was an interview for personal gain as much it is for viewers. I always drill someone when I want to get into the specifics I am really interested in.
The hanging raises have been huge for me. Not just for the obvious shredded mid section , but the stretch , the shoulders , chest, You gotta think, we used to be climbing and hanging all day to our arms being at our sides all the time The hanging leg raise is HUGE
oxygen advantage - iso breath holds/movements not recommended to go longer than 3sec. if sp02 low/c02 tolerance aren't trained its also a version of stance training - zhan zhuang
I don't want to be the guy correcting Ryan Terry here, but in my opinion it's not really a great list because: 1) No upper or mid back work 2) No work on side or rear delts 3) No direct biceps work 4) Not much quad work 5) Including incline bench is totally pointless from a body mechanics point of view. It trains exactly what you train with a flat bench but activates front delts a bit more (ref. Doug Brignole) Here's what I would do (OK I cheated a bit and added one extra): 1) Bench press 4) Lateral raises 3) Bent over rows 4) Pullups (different variations) 5) Biceps curls 6) Tricep extensions 7) Pick either deadlift or weighted hyperextensions (based on injuries and body type) 8) Squats or hack squats (based on injuries and body type) 9) Seated or lying leg curl 10) Some type of lunge (standing or walking) 11) Seated calf raises
It's funny because he even admits it in the interview. He said he was front/anterior strong which caused problems, and his answer to fix that was hyperextension and less weight. What he should've also done was develop posterior strength.
I think he was out on the spot and forced to come up with something that he didn’t necessarily put a ton of thought into. I imagine he does a huge variety of things as a professional bodybuilder
What is sexy here is the guest speaks in a friendly, confident, relaxed manner. Chris on the other hand, shrills with fast little speech patterns...like an annoying little chawawa 🐶
No dips?! I‘m surprised he mentioned pull-ups at the very end, even after all the isolation exercises. Pull-ups and dips should‘ve come right after bench, deadlift and squat imho.
If I had 10 exercises I'd probably go hack squat, Romanian deadlift, 15-30° incline db press, dips, pullups, chest supported rows, side lateral raises, hanging leg Raises, sled push & pull, & farmer Walks. The exercises I picked don't put as much compression on the spine like a regular squat or deadlift will, you can train biceps & triceps more than enough as secondary muscles in my routine, & you'll build the traps, forearms, calves, & general core strength from the farmer Walks as well as getting healthier knees from sled pulling backwards
Pullups work the biceps secondarily Unless you have time to burn in the gym, bicep curls are a waste of time, unless you want to do one isolation set at the end of your workout. I typically start and end my workout with pullups, each set to failure. No need to ever isolate my biceps.
The role of an interviewer is to gather and tease out knowledge from your guest, not to show the audience how much you know, or how much smarter you are than your guest. Chris doesn't know his shit, but he comes across as shit in this clip.
my revised list: 1 front raise 2 inside curls like across your body 3 military press to pinch traps 4 squat/deadlift 5 lateral angel extensions to pinch shoulders 6 standing russian twists to pinch abs. i do it like a lift and extend rep. 7 crunches 8 incline bench 9 dead weight curls for core focus. 10 calf raises
He could have asked for a dozen, rather than ten. Giving your guest the question a day or two beforehead would have been more productive. CW was just being a dick, trying to one-up the guest, who was more accommodating than most, in terms of dealing with an at-times hostile host. Awful demeanour on the part of CW, a real turn-off.
1. Bench press (Flat, incline, decline) with Olympic Bar 2. Squats 3. Bicep curls with Olympic bar 4. Tricep Dips on Dipping Bars (Weights around waist) 5. Hanging Leg Raise 6. Deadlifts 7. Barbell Shoulder Shrugs 8. Standing Calf Raises 9. Bent Over Rows with a dumbbell 10. Dumbbell shoulder press Honorable mention to close grip pullups
Be cautious of taking advice from a genetically gifted, geared lifter who's spent his life in an entirely different realm to the average lifter. If you want to get big and strong and functional you only need the following. I'll keep this extremely condensed and short. 1) Barbell back squat (low bar or high bar) 2) Barbell front squat - Olympic grip (crazy trunk stabilization required) 3) Deadlift (hip hinge movement and also the most functional i.e. picking up an object from the ground) 4) Overhead press (superior to bench pressing regarding recruitment of upper body musculature) 5) Dips (basically the squat of the upper body) 6) Pullups (hits the entire back and is a good gauge of your strength to weight ratio) 7) Rows (a wonderful compound movement for the back that involves strong stabilization from the legs when performed correctly) 8) Bench press (not really needed but y'all want the big boy chest....) 9) Bulgarian split squat (unilateral component that quickly shows up weak areas..also useful for people with knee issues) 10) Farmer's carries
Great video! Can I ask, what is the “seated car phrase”? I’m not sure I’ve heard of this exercise. Maybe we have a different name for it in the US? Thank you!
he was referring to the seated calf raise. Not entirely necessary, one can hit the calves with low foot placement on the linear seated leg press, and get the calf extension at the far range of motion.

Why is Chris soo intense. He’s asking some arguably silly questions with obvious answers while staring soo intensely 😂😂
I think he's on something
Haha 😂
Chris looks ready to fight from the beginning
To teach the beginners.
He probably isn't liking the exercises he's choosing. For example for the calves he chose seated which doesn't even hit the calf muscle we see.
For shoulders he had a redundant movement instead of a side delt movement etc.

Chris Williamson would be a good criminal interrogator
Guy doesn't have time to blink!!
It’s uncanny
YES!
Was Chris intimidated by this guest because finally, a more attractive man was in the room? He seems to act very stern in this interview 😅
Why do you go to that conclusion? Lol. Maybe he's tired/caffeinated or very interested/focused.
@@HandyPandy989 good insights but I still think Chris was over playing assertiveness which comes across as insecure and patronising here
Impacted colon?
He was interested and trying to get real information. Sometimes when a conversation is really relaxed you don't get the information you are looking for. You get side tracked or get BS throw away answers because the other person doesn't think it is serious.
Same accent😂😂😂
I'm a firm believer that people need to learn HOW to workout, that mind-muscle connection is incredibly important.

Dumbbell bench press
Incline seated overhead press

That's an excercise for every muscle group and it still isn't comprehensive, eg no upper trap excercise, only one lat/mid back excercise which is a compromise between a vertical and horizontal pull, not side or rear delt exercise.
I think it's better not to limit yourself to 10 excercises.

I like that you put sled in there 👍🏻
WOW!! Is this interviewer on some sort of spectrum? RT is such a cool chill guy, what a horrendous demeanour to have asking questions. Brutal.
The intensity the comments are pointing out is partly because of the way the two men are positioned. Were they not fully facing each other, but slightly angled, it wouldn’t feel nearly as confrontational.
It’s important to include images and short videos on an interview like this. Also text, with key points.
I’m a 40 y/o firefighter and I work with guys well into their fifties. It’s cool to talk to guys like this bodybuilder, that move around heavy weight with perfect form but the real studs jerk, pull, push, and lift in every wrong way to achieve a goal….daily. Interview them.
Good info about the correlation with back pain and ab development
I like that he went with pullups for the bicep exercise. When you work your back and your back grows, the biceps will come along for the ride. Curls are a waste of time, unless you have time to waste. Same.goes for shrugs. Do loaded carries or cleans, because you'll get jacked traps as well as hitting so many other muscle groups.
Completely agreed. Unless you have time to burn in the gym, single-muscle isolation exercises are a waste of time, unless at the very end of the workout. Bicep curls and triceps extensions can be avoided with other compounded movements. The dumbest thing I see is newbies using light dumbbells for the inclined press, as that's all they can lift. For newbies, stick with the machines to avoid injury, and to progress to moderate weight so that you can use dumbbells as an option.
Machines are underrated but are intended to prevent injury, and are also time-efficient.

5. Lateral Raises (to get the diamond shoulders for symmetry)
Kettlebell swings )two-arm and single-arm) and Turkish get up need to be on this list.

1) No upper or mid back work
2) No work on side or rear delts
3) No direct biceps work
4) Not much quad work
5) Including incline bench is totally pointless from a body mechanics point of view. It trains exactly what you train with a flat bench but activates front delts a bit more (ref. Doug Brignole)
Here's what I would do (OK I cheated a bit and added one extra):
1) Bench press
4) Lateral raises
3) Bent over rows
4) Pullups (different variations)
5) Biceps curls
6) Tricep extensions
7) Pick either deadlift or weighted hyperextensions (based on injuries and body type)
8) Squats or hack squats (based on injuries and body type)
9) Seated or lying leg curl
10) Some type of lunge (standing or walking)
11) Seated calf raises
It's funny because he even admits it in the interview. He said he was front/anterior strong which caused problems, and his answer to fix that was hyperextension and less weight. What he should've also done was develop posterior strength.
his list is garbage, if you're not on PEDS there is no reason to take advice from a PED user
Yup I agree and this guy doesn’t know what he’s on about
I think he was out on the spot and forced to come up with something that he didn’t necessarily put a ton of thought into. I imagine he does a huge variety of things as a professional bodybuilder
Dumb comment....the guy has probably forgotten more than you'll ever know. He had a limited amount of exercises...did you not listen to the question?
Start with perfect form knee raises and progress to leg raises.
Thank you, Lucas Lee.
I like his watch. Anyone know what model it is?
you come up with the 10 exercises idea ! and your guest has no idea
he only has to deal with your question and continue the act going.
Squats. Bendover rows. Shoulder press. Bench press. Biceps curls. Triceps push down. Ab crunch. Lat pull down. Calf raise. Bonus RUN.
This guy really does not like working his back, lol
Love this channel great stuff
What is sexy here is the guest speaks in a friendly, confident, relaxed manner. Chris on the other hand, shrills with fast little speech patterns...like an annoying little chawawa 🐶
Exactly. I noticed that too. Ryan is very polite, humble, whereas Chris seems rude.
No dips?! I‘m surprised he mentioned pull-ups at the very end, even after all the isolation exercises. Pull-ups and dips should‘ve come right after bench, deadlift and squat imho.
This guy is so drop dead gorgeous and love his calm demeanour 🙏

If I had 10 exercises I'd probably go hack squat, Romanian deadlift, 15-30° incline db press, dips, pullups, chest supported rows, side lateral raises, hanging leg Raises, sled push & pull, & farmer Walks. The exercises I picked don't put as much compression on the spine like a regular squat or deadlift will, you can train biceps & triceps more than enough as secondary muscles in my routine, & you'll build the traps, forearms, calves, & general core strength from the farmer Walks as well as getting healthier knees from sled pulling backwards
Can you see if you can get Paul Chek on your podcast. He would be a great addition
Interesting that the only curl movement on the list is pullups!
Pullups work the biceps secondarily Unless you have time to burn in the gym, bicep curls are a waste of time, unless you want to do one isolation set at the end of your workout. I typically start and end my workout with pullups, each set to failure. No need to ever isolate my biceps.
I've always liked BB rows, probably my favorite exercise.
Muscle mind connection is paramount
Thx man, great info, now im gona try those iso hold on my ABS to develope even better AB!
Yeah that sounds like a full time job to me😂. Painful one at that! Definitely going to add bits from his advice though.
Chris full on testing him here, almost demanding answers. Love it. Chris knows his shit!!
He was behaving like an interrogator not an interviewer
@@TheJonboyg yea, it’s intense!
The role of an interviewer is to gather and tease out knowledge from your guest, not to show the audience how much you know, or how much smarter you are than your guest. Chris doesn't know his shit, but he comes across as shit in this clip.
What watch is Ryan wearing?
I'm wondering the same thing!!
Do this with Dr. Mike Israetel please!!!!
my revised list:
1 front raise
2 inside curls like across your body
3 military press to pinch traps
4 squat/deadlift
5 lateral angel extensions to pinch shoulders
6 standing russian twists to pinch abs. i do it like a lift and extend rep.
7 crunches
8 incline bench
9 dead weight curls for core focus.
10 calf raises
Heaps interesting point about the iso holds! Cheers!
Not enough for the back. But a tough question on the spot.
Yeah, it was on the spot and 10 exercises is just a little shy of being enough
He could have asked for a dozen, rather than ten. Giving your guest the question a day or two beforehead would have been more productive. CW was just being a dick, trying to one-up the guest, who was more accommodating than most, in terms of dealing with an at-times hostile host. Awful demeanour on the part of CW, a real turn-off.
WHO ARE YOU WORKING FOR?!?
- Jack Bauer, or maybe Chris
This was great 👌
Hahaha😂 This one is great!
Thanks, Chris and Team!!!
The key to good abs is diet and genetics.
1. Bench press (Flat, incline, decline) with Olympic Bar
2. Squats
3. Bicep curls with Olympic bar
4. Tricep Dips on Dipping Bars (Weights around waist)
5. Hanging Leg Raise
6. Deadlifts
7. Barbell Shoulder Shrugs
8. Standing Calf Raises
9. Bent Over Rows with a dumbbell
10. Dumbbell shoulder press
Honorable mention to close grip pullups
Be cautious of taking advice from a genetically gifted, geared lifter who's spent his life in an entirely different realm to the average lifter.
If you want to get big and strong and functional you only need the following. I'll keep this extremely condensed and short.
1) Barbell back squat (low bar or high bar)
2) Barbell front squat - Olympic grip (crazy trunk stabilization required)
3) Deadlift (hip hinge movement and also the most functional i.e. picking up an object from the ground)
4) Overhead press (superior to bench pressing regarding recruitment of upper body musculature)
5) Dips (basically the squat of the upper body)
6) Pullups (hits the entire back and is a good gauge of your strength to weight ratio)
7) Rows (a wonderful compound movement for the back that involves strong stabilization from the legs when performed correctly)
8) Bench press (not really needed but y'all want the big boy chest....)
9) Bulgarian split squat (unilateral component that quickly shows up weak areas..also useful for people with knee issues)
10) Farmer's carries
Great video! Can I ask, what is the “seated car phrase”? I’m not sure I’ve heard of this exercise. Maybe we have a different name for it in the US? Thank you!
he was referring to the seated calf raise. Not entirely necessary, one can hit the calves with low foot placement on the linear seated leg press, and get the calf extension at the far range of motion.
This would be my list...
1. Jogging
2. Cycling
3. Sprinting
4. Bench Press
5. Pull ups/Chin ups
6. Deadlift
7. Squat
8. Shoulder press
9. Calf raises
10.Hanging leg raises
No biceps exercises ok chins but you need a curl variations.
Same for delts
CB top 10 list was more complete
I would throw a horizontal pull (or 2) in there. Lot of people have underdeveloped upper backs. Deadlift will work it, but not enough IMO
This dude is aging like fine wine. I remember he looked good 6 years ago but he looks even better now???
