If you're not adding WEIGHT, you're not building muscle, *FULL STOP*.

That is extremely impressive, holy shit.

>>76797346
it’s fake weights

>punching the weights

>Knee sleeves
he didn't lift the weight, not impressive at all

Okay, I 100% believe injuries predetermined by your genetics now.
How come this guy snapped his shit with 1/10 of the weight?

>>76797311 (OP)
every time I see a video like this, I brace and imagine the worst
so glad he wasn't hurt

>10 years later
>"why do my knees hurt so much??"

>>76797311 (OP)
True although going 2 rep maxing out on isolation machines is fucking retarded, and not impressive. Low and behold he still looks DYEL

>>76797367
Completely different exercises. a) leverage is much less during the knee extension b) Sir Snapsalot here probably ruptured his ACL, which is not possible on a knee extension machine

In regards to the ACL problem, bear in mind that your ACL rupture when your shin dislocates forward, which is basically what this weird reverse-nordic-curl does; you can clearly imagine how that metal bar is pressing into the back of his calf and really wants to push his shin anteriorly. Leg extension machines are the opposite, the bar is pushing you shin backward/posteriorly.

Most knee extension machines are also designed such that equivalent resistance is much lower when your knees are bent, whereas the reverse nordic is the opposite.

Both exercises are ego lifts in their own right.

Pretty impressive, but I'm pretty sure I have similar leg size to this guy and I don't move anywhere near that amount of weight.
What gives? Why isn't this guy the next Tom Platz?

why are his headphones so gay

He's not getting in the reps. Mechanical tension is the primary mechanism for hypertrophy but without the volume component you'll get stronger without getting much bigger. Once you go for all out sets of 10-15 after your sets of 5-8 and AMPK and friends is in the picture along with mechanical tension you'll blow the fuck up

>Sir Snapsalot
kek

>>76797883
time under tension doesn't build muscle

my gym is full of dyel retards that do shit like this, use the max weight on the machines, not even sure they do 1 rep
Its not bodybuilding, its just retardation

>>76797933
nothing does

>>76797346
>That is extremely impressive

reminds me of the webm of the basketball player who slams his fuckin head into a wall because they lost the sportsball game or whatever, and he immediately paralyzes himself

>>76797360

>>76797883
AMPK is literally antagonist to hypertrophy you tard.
