Looking Awesome Johnnie keeping it real Hardcore what an inspiration all the best for your comp cant wait to see you on stage

[@FehadBilgramiChannel1]

Who cares about the show, it is about how you live and train, these guys bring it on each session. Watch them in decades to come if they are blessed with long lives, they will look like tanks where all the current bodybuilders will wither.

[@TrueFilter]

Fehad Bilgrami other guys are smart enough to get off the gear after 50.

[@FehadBilgramiChannel1]

TrueFilter have you ever trained like them for long term? Your body goes into a habit of repairing itself constantly, even if you come off gear. It is the same thing with Robby Robinson, he trains intense and heavy, regularly. I train everyday, Heavy and intense... for 4 years now. It works. I suggest you do research on this.

[@johnlivia3603]

Never mind a training partner, I can’t find a friend like that.

[@drewsky1008]

I'm afraid we will never will it's all good we gotta push ourselves the hell with it gentlemen 😎✊

[@dieselx506]

LOL yep

[@paulschiell5355]

To hear Johnnie talk about his upcoming Arnold competition - I know he didn't get anywhere near the results he was looking for - but man, you are still bringing it! Sadly, father time is undefeated

[@user-go9eg2hw9z]

Я лично все понял не зная языка, респект!

[@incogcheeto9322]

I've noticed alot of body English (moving/using momentum) but they're massive. So then why is the rhetoric "strict/perfect form, little to no momentum to move the weight"?

[@SuperSteelSteve]

Strict form is for 2 reasons. 1.) Isolation of the intended muscles 2.) Reduced risk if injury. Proper nutrition, sleep, and drugs are the reason these guys are monsters. Like you heard branch say.. they've been training partners for 18+ years. 18+ years of hardcore dedication and hard work is the reason they are monsters. Body English vs strict form is like 1% of the equation.

[@incogcheeto9322]

@@SuperSteelSteve sure, but when you see these vids lol there's alot of movement vs standing or sitting still and lifting with "good" form.

[@SuperSteelSteve]

@@incogcheeto9322 did you read what I wrote? You asked why the rhetoric about strict form. That these guys are massive but use lots of body english. I said 2 reasons. 1.) To isolate the intended muscle 2.) To prevent injury. ??? What are you asking?

[@incogcheeto9322]

@@SuperSteelSteve ok, so with the idea of strict form and not using alot of movement, why are they using alot of movement to lift and move the weight?

[@SuperSteelSteve]

@@incogcheeto9322 .......... ? Are you messing with me? Obviously these two 20+ year bodybuilders arent concerned with 1.) Isolating the muscle 2.) Reducing risk of injury What aren't you understanding? Lol Strict form doesn't have anything to do with building muscle... only what I described 3x now for you.
