Big T- Felt fine despite volume. This was focused on small muscle groups, so little systemic impact. Inroad Training- Thanks for the kind words. Will post new material as often as I can. Brad- I was just performing a workout from the 1970's that I originally encountered in the Nautilus training bulletins. Relative to the routines of the day, this 7:20 routine was considered ridiculously short. Arthur would have bodybuilders visit for one week and offered to pay their way if they did not put on at least a half inch on their arms. He would have them rest a full four days, and most of them lost the bet before even getting to train (due to recovery). I have done subfailure workouts with good results. I find that I can increase volume and still do well. I do tend to trend back to higher intensity and shorter workouts just because of the need for time efficiency. Their are many ways to skin the cat, and one should pay attention to their own physiology and do what works best for them.
I remember well the Nautiuls 2/4 cadence. A couple of friends and I wen to a Nautilus studio about 1980-1982. The owner directed each workout. More than once a friend or I were in the parking lot losing our lunch.
Would have to find one in a Nautilus graveyard and have someone like Tim Ryan or Rob Serraino retrofit it for you. Ken is back in Florida...perhaps he could help. I doubt one would ever show up on the used equipment sites...too perfect.
@@dr.dougmcguff282 Once upon a time I managed an early Nautilus center and we had one of those vintage bicep/tricep plate loading machines. A great piece of equipment! One minor criticism is that on the bicep end people could cheat by lifting up the shoulders as the angle from shoulder to elbow was about 45 degrees downward. On the newer multi-bicep machine the elbows were a bit higher creating more isolation of the biceps. Also I noticed he changed the shape of the cams slightly for on the newer Multi bicep and tricep units. Great video and thanks for all the outstanding fitness education you provide!
Is it true the reverse curl places more tension on your brachialis than the biceps? Rendering it a less effective biceps exercise? I also find that it really irritates my biceps tendons.
Yes; if you are training for aesthetic purposes you want to maximize the size of both biceps and brachialis; while reverse curls are effective for the latter they can cause joint pain; a better option is hammer curls.
Jay Vincent biceps supinate the forearm so a reverse curl will put your biceps at a disadvantage which calls for a higher percentage of work from the brachialis and brachioradialis
Not super slow but still masterfully done and safe imo (the benefits of keeping slow, controlled reps your baseline technique). Relatively HV compared to what you normally do, how did you feel the day after Doc?
what made you do a multi set workout? did you ever experiment with doing multi sets just shy off failure. I'm finding that if I do that and just add 1 to 2 pounds the next workout I can keep the reps the same. maybe just doing a Little more weight each workout is a better way to overload. if I go to failure I can't go up in weight or add reps next time I train. I read that failure is not necessary but just shy of it is better.
I as well find training to failure on each exercise in a routine too exhausting - requiring additional rest days. By training close to failure and/or a few sets to failure in a workout I am not as drained the next day and able to train more often.
All you need for your bicep are (Seated Hammer Curls). Reverse Wrist Barbell Curls are not optimum to say the least. The fingers DON'T connect to your brachioradialis. Standard Wrist Curls work your for arm.
I think I heard poliquin mention once that a study was done using thicker bars and supposedly had better results in strength and size, I believe versus regular bar. Anyone else heard that?

Dr. Doug McGuff thanks Doug its an honor getting a response from you sir.
You are a motivation. I would have loved to be able to work with you. Thank you for everything you give us.
I remember well the Nautiuls 2/4 cadence. A couple of friends and I wen to a Nautilus studio about 1980-1982. The owner directed each workout. More than once a friend or I were in the parking lot losing our lunch.
Also, is that a super slow systems biceps/triceps machine? If so, How could I go about purchasing one of those?

Why do you use a so-called curl bar? It prevents full supination of the hands.

Felt great. The smaller muscle groups allowed for more volume without ROBAT.

For certain individuals what you say is true. If you have found that to be true for yourself, then stick with that approach.
I as well find training to failure on each exercise in a routine too exhausting - requiring additional rest days. By training close to failure and/or a few sets to failure in a workout I am not as drained the next day and able to train more often.

Hard to even move your arms after something like this. It doesn't take nearly as much time in the gym as most believe.

How much size did you gain half of this routine?
So why not do barbell complexes…..time under tension more, intensity more, body working as a unit,,
All advocates on one set , never do one set…
