I Trained like Sam Sulek

[@reev]

Hello guys! Firstly hope you enjoy the video, secondly, I can only apologise to the avid Sam viewers, I’ve let us all down and didn’t continue my sets with partial reps, all my sets were to failure in terms of full ROM but WWSSD… continue with partials. Either way thanks for all the support in 2023, here’s to an awesome 2024 helping each other 👊🏻

[@randomdudez00]

you should do a video on supplements. like what an average person should take or what you take or something along those lines

[@keisha7412]

I’m not heavily into fitness. I just got into running a few months ago but I love your channel . Very engaging and never feels like a boring watch

[@reev]

This is a kind comment, thank you

[@alexanderkastrup6710]

Just wanna say, it's incredible to see you responding to so many comments, even the ones that are slightly negative. Love watching your gym videos, inspires me to keep going gym. Also, like some others have said, I think you could've gone to complete failure with partials, if you wanted to copy it exactly like Sam usually does in his videos. But failure is obviously different for everybody, great video nonetheless!

[@b.ohm.watson5550]

[@ohyeahyeah8150]

You said ‘When I stop at 8 reps, it’s kind of embarrassing’ it’s actually not, if you get 8 reps and no matter how hard you push, you can’t get 9, that’s optimal training, 8 reps builds muscle just as well as anything else, even 6 reps, reps per set don’t matter as long as you get enough volume from the rep range, if you do 3 reps to failure per set, you’ll need more sets to get the same muscle growth, but 3 reps in itself isn’t worse than the stereotypical 12, 12 is just more convenient for most since it doesn’t take as long to maximise muscle protein synthesis doing that, but what’s most important is training within like 2 reps of failure, usually when it takes like 3-4 seconds to complete the concentric with maximum force output, that means you’re near failure, also ‘partial reps’ are done not out of choice, but because you can’t physically get another rep with full range of motion, they’re not necessary, but can be a good way to get a bit more volume in, with some of your sets in the video, I feel like you could’ve got a few more reps, I’d recommend going heavier and going to failure, even if you only get 5 reps the first time, then next session you can go slightly lighter, it doesn’t matter, you’ll have a much better gage of how close you are to failure and you’ll know if you need to change the weight by doing that just once.

[@dghost2699]

his 2 sets to failure only works because of the true failure he reaches (partials/dropsets), if you cant reach failure, have 10 second rest then go again (rest-pause sets)

[@MiniChalk]

@@reevreps have nothing to do with failure 😂 20 reps just shows u we’re going wayyy to light, u need to be failing doing partial reps when you’re on the 10th rep

[@reev]

@@MiniChalk partial reps is not the same as failure, people have differing definitions of failure. I couldn’t do any more full ROM reps in a lot of these cases, people seem to be misattributing failure for not performing partial reps, which I’ll take the L on not doing those in the video for, but I definitely hit failure on many of these exercises.

Sam does partials to get every last fibre of his muscles working, he is a beast though, and I am not

[@louistheeighth8976]

How are you hammer curling 27.5kg for 10 reps? I thought I had strong arms but that seems ridiculous. Were they strict reps without any momentum assistance? (I know you said you cheated towards the end - but still)

@@reev yeah it's a funny movement, I find the first 4-5 reps feel too easy and then suddenly it gets real fatiguing 😂 for me it allows a real good isolation of the hamstrings!

@@adamduffy3999 haha it’s all good! People have been mentioning it, I definitely was for all the exercises in terms of full ROM when it said to, I’m not one to shy away from doing things properly, just didn’t include those partials. Also I’d like to think I’m very CV fit so if I didn’t have blowing red faces or sweating it it’s because of that, but I can assure you my muscles were burning/struggling

Do you use any tracking apps (e.g., Hevy) to keep track of your progress and weights x reps?

[@reev]

Not at this stage of my fitness journey, certainly at the start I had a notebook for all my sessions, but I’m not really training for aesthetics as it stands. I will say this though, the Marchon training app I do use is where I put my numbers in when I’m doing those particularly sessions

[@Jay-tc9on]

I mean you could do the workout and just change the order of the exercises to hit tri then bi then tri etc... For most people that will be more productive because you are giving the muscle time to rest and then you can go heavier.

[@elliothosie3206]

this might seem daft, but how should i warm up for a back day?

[@musicalmonarchkingaamir5244]

Stretching would be my best guess. All of your bodies strength comes from your back and it's always holding up your torso so always warm? So stretch it to help it so that more effectively is my best guess

Dead hangs, scapular pull ups, light warm up sets

[@ravisingh5957]

I thought training most of your sets to failure was normal ??

[@disorient0871]

You are NOT training like Sam Sulek! Your form is too good, you're controlling the eccentric, while still going to failure at what, 8 reps? That's great for building muscle and beginners will gain a TON of muscle from Controlling the eccentric and failing at 6-8 reps. You can still gain muscle training like Sam, but if you're a beginner, it's not the best way to train to gain muscle. Can YOU move the full stack WITH a 25 or 45-pond plat added on as well? No. Sam is using VERY heavy-weight! So of course he's ALWAYS gonna have new stimulus for muscle growth. You will just injure yourself in the long wrong. So remember, Control the Eccentric, and pick a good enough weight where you fail at 6-8 Reps. And watch the empire grow! I LOVE Sam's videos btw I'm not hating on him, I really like the video where he's doing Tricep pushdowns, and a Pitbull walks by him in the gym. That boi boutta make some GAINS lol
