Bill Kazmier speaking about powerlifting meet preparation.

[@TheErik249]

When I bought Bill Kazmaier's workout training booklets in 1981... I immediately began making progress at the age of 16 from a 240 lb bench to a 315 lb bench at 17 yrs old. The KAZ is king!

[@Flawgore]

What was you doing.

[@bruhmane1944]

I don’t believe you

Athlete, tactician, Legend. Thats Big Kaz

[@Andrew-vt2wq]

[@winston678]

great build . was honest about drugs

[@willh1655]

he was not talking about drugs here...

[@RobertP2000]

@@willh1655 Bill talks openly about his steroid use in some of his interviews. Look up the one where he's interviewed by Josh Bryant for example.

[@szymusiek1980]

which year is it in this video? He looks like it was filmed in 1996.

[@szymusiek1980]

Me too. He looks to good for 2000's. It gotta be 90's

[@F5connecting]

He is wearing an Under Armour shirt... UA was founded 1996. He wore it before it was cool lol.

[@Danimal77]

Kaz did NOT look like that anymore in 2006. The last time he looked muscular and in shape was 2002, so this was before that.

[@RobertP2000]

@@Danimal77 I think Kaz looks great today considering his age.

[@misanthrop1958]

I haven`t understood one word of what he was saying, but it was nice to watch his muscular body in that tight t-shirt.

[@darthghitza8037]

he's explaining how he used to periodize his training.

Met bill in 1979 on Baltimore Street - red light dist - Baltimore MD. It was near dusk, I was walking east bound, the sun was setting behing me and I saw what looke like 3 guys in a tight bunch walking toward me. As "they" got closer I could see it was only one guy, THEN I recognized him... IT WAS Bill Kazmier. I exclamied Kaz! Whacha doin here? He said: "same as you, watching strippers.." I laffed. We chatted on the street for a few minutes, I offered to buy him a beer, we stepped inside the strip club watched a few strippers, had a beer, chatted and parted ways. 🙂

5x5 most size and strength?

[@konstantinosfilippou526]

Well, it's right in the middle...you start with sets of 10 at the beginning of the cycle, and the middle point will be sets of 5 before you get to the triples or doubles at the end...it works in a loop each phase feeds into the next but the most progress does happen in the middle of the cycle

[@Verdad2024]

sounds like MRV

[@punishr36]

Why can't,, even today,, anyone give proper advise on how to use roids etc?

[@mark4lev]

Because it’s part of the ‘business’ . Many individuals have made millions from muscle. WWF movies strongman. They don’t want to willingly give up anything, although the internet has opened it up a bit

[@RamonHRE]

Cus its the simplest part the training is the most complicated

[@punishr36]

@@RamonHRE I did roids back in the day and there is an absolute ton of gear out there, what would you reccomend?

[@RamonHRE]

@@punishr36 testosterone with maybe some orals at the couple last week i like anadrol or turinabol but all the tren and stuff causes nothing but complications keep it clean and simple

[@janoycresva276]

I'm super confused. How did he actually train? What exercises did he do? What did each workout look like? How long would he do 10 rep sets for before dropping to 5 sets of 5 then 3 sets of 3 and so on? 80% of what weight did he use? Was it 80% of the max weight that he wanted to hit at his powerlifting meet for each lift? How many sets did he do on those 10 rep sets? How many days a week did he train for? So many questions that are left unanswered & I've never once heard anyone be able to explain it for someone who knows absolutely nothing about strength training.

BASE TRAINING PHASE (Approximately 4 weeks) This phase provides the basic groundwork for the cycle and could be extended or reduced in duration to suit individual needs and planning. The emphasis is most certainly on intensity, variation of bar position on chest and assistance work to develop a good muscular basis. Monday: 1} Bench Press, competition style and grip. Warm up, then 3x10 2) Wide Grip Bench Press, varying bar position on chest 3x10 3) Narrow Grip Bench Press 3x10 4) Front Deltoid Raise 3x10 5) lateral Raise 3x10 6) Tennis Backhand Cable Extension 3x10 Tuesday: 1) Lying Tricep Push (Inclusive of 2 warm up sets) 6x10 2) Prone Tricep Extension 4x10 3) Seated Hammer Curl 4x10 4) Standing Curl 3x10 5) Close Grip Chins 3xMax 6) Seated Row 3x10 7) One Arm Row 3x10 8) Wide Grip Pulldown to Chest 3x10 Thursday: 1) Bench Press, competition grip, varying bar position on chest. Warm up, then 3x15 2) Wide Grip Bench Press 3x10 3) Narrow Grip Bench Press 3x10 4) Front Deltoid Raise 3x10 5) lateral Raise 3x10 61 Tennis Backhand Cable Extension 3x10 Friday: 1) Lying Tricep Push (Inclusive of 1 warm up set) 5x15 (lighter in weight and sets performed faster than Tuesday) 2) Tricep Pushdown 4x10 3) Seated Hammer Curl 4x10 4) Standing Curl 4x10 5) Close Grip Chins 3xMax 6) One Arm Row 3x10 7) Seated Row 3x10 8) Wide Grip Pulldown to Chest 3x10 Again the emphasis is on intensity and speed throughout the workout, not on weight, maintaining strict styles nevertheless. Increase all poundages gradually and only after all sets have been achieved fully.
