I tried pro bodybuilder Chris Bumsteads back workout (Too many reps?)

Hey guys in this video I try chris bumsteads back workout. cbum also puts some biceps in there too. I just wanted to see what I thought on this back workout and if it was good or bad. My overall take was that there is a little too much volume which can turn into junk volume for hypertrophy training and won't actually do much to grow your back. Although we are all different and if this works for him awesome. For me it was just a little too much. Hope this helps some of you and gives you guys something to try on you next back day at the gym and is a workout for you to grow your back.

Twice and potentially 3peat

Yes. that would make him professional

Awesome video! Just some notes as someone who watches literally all of Cbums videos - since you said you weren't sure about sets/reps Chris has repeatedly stated that he only does 2 working sets for each exercise: one set to pretty much absolute failure with an 8-12 rep range followed by a 'back off' set with lower weight and a higher rep range, sometimes with an intensity technique on the second set depending on the exercise. Only doing 2 working sets might help lower some of the junk volume you were talking about

[@SzatStrength]

Awesome thanks! I don’t watch any of his stuff really just was inspired after someone at the grocery store said we look alike

[@hasancinema1224]

So he is more on yate style?

[@1Rickwolverine]

I'm really glad that you came back real quickly from your bicep tear!! Keep kicking ass, coach!!

[@blammela]

As one of the 3% female subscribers, I super appreciate seeing coach Tanya in the mix w the WOs!!! More coach Tanya please!!!

[@Abell05]

All I gathered from this video is you don't have any equipment but you're still a grade A strongman. Gives me confidence that my home gym setup is enough for me to crush at 2022 Nationals.

[@walrus3867]

I think the issue is he has strongman equipment and not body building equipment lol

[@killxswitch]

I think it's just different approaches. I have a semi-pro BB co-worker and he often says "I don't work out, I work the muscles." He and lots of BBers don't care that much about progressive overload or keeping track of their lifts, their progress, efficiency, etc. It's a terrible approach for PLing, strongman, Oly lifting, and probably for most lifters that aren't either massively genetically gifted or enhanced. But it's the approach that will probably win him a 3rd Olympia. Not "wrong", but probably not right for most people. Including those kids at the store. So I guess I started my comment to say "you shouldn't criticize what he does" but I talked myself into thinking it's a good thing you reviewed it to show that for most people it isn't the best approach. Thank you for attending my stream-of-consciousness TED Talk.

[@noahlangston]

Coach Joe, you've mentioned junk volume a few times now and that got me thinking: have you ever thought about doing a video on volume? What is it? How it relates to training for strength/hypertrophy/etc and other related questions?

[@aspenwagon04]

There are thousands of videos on this topic.

[@noahlangston]

@@aspenwagon04 and?

[@Jimsmash171]

Junk volume is essentially doing quality reps until the form breaks down and you keep going even though form has deteriorated or you no longer actually contracting the target muscle. Just feel it out bro. You know when your mind muscle connection breaks. If you're training for hypertrophy just tax the muscle to failure on a few sets and youre fine.

[@clevernamehere7559]

He’s gunning for his 3rd Olympia in a row, he’s gonna push wherever he feels it the most, and seeing as how he’s very enhanced he’s gonna want volume, this guys like about as big as you can even get, stage 115-125 offszn 165+ it’s not a workout tailored for the average person, he literally just posts what he does that day so it’s his program his weight his volume etc.

[@ronin_9]

Facts

[@ck3125]

He doesn't do a lot of volume. It's two actual working sets/exercise. The previous sets are all warmups/feeders. This is what people fail to understand when they try to copy pro bodybuilder workouts. They see 3x10 on bench press, and think it's straight sets like 315x10,9,8. Where in actuality it's 135x10, 225x8, 315x12. They ramp up to one top set. So when you see 6 different exercises for 3x10, it's not 18 total working sets. It's actualy only 6.

[@ronin_9]

@@ck3125 spot on

[@ClintGoble86]

I'm going to try Chris Bumsteads workout but not actually do any of the same exercises.

[@B5Byrne]

The specific exercise variations matter much less than the intention and work. Doing a low machine row rather than an incline dumbbell row isn't going to matter.

[@BaldOmniMan]

Your mustache wins for the sheer fact that you didn’t even know who he was lmao

[@happygilmore8321]

Cool Bald Cbum pfp

[@johnmcgrath1477]

I'm a fan of both you and cbum. His workouts he usually builds to 2 top sets. 1 heavy, 1 high intensity.

[@KingRoxas-cc8zr]

Would love a video on volume and junk volume I’d think it’s be great cause most people don’t know difference

[@_Aaron_G_]

Dude how are you doing a back workout with a torn bicep? That's amazing, keep it up 💪🏼💪🏼 Just stay safe pls, tnx

[@CelticGod220]

Thank you for showing the dumbell variations as that is the bulk of my training equipment.

[@lakotamack]

Just started watching your videos and so far I’m loving the content. One Critique though, there is way too much background noise.

[@Ripcookiethief]

Check out Chris Bumstead's lat spread. It's honestly mind boggling.

youre right about humbling! ive been really focusing on rom and mind muscle and its soooo much harder. thats when you know its good!

[@nicholasboodoo2841]

Man i would love to see a colab video between u guys

[@Zondu]

I think CBum would qualify as a "I tried Mr. Olympia's workout". But yeah, his methodology wouldn't work for a lot of us, but then again a lot of us aren't on such a strict....supplement routine. He knows what works for him, and his workout is very much tailored to him.

[@joonasantinaho1921]

Man!!you are anf you look like a monster!!hehhehhe ,l am new dude for this youtube thing,so many year you training??and what program you stardet??body?power?weightlifting??strongman??but you feel like good bro!!keep rocking!!

[@PussyDevourer69]

It would only be junk volume if you're weak. But if you're strong like him every exercise is precise and hit the targeted muscle. His training is not for mediocre weight lifters he was already strong before he started bodybuilding.

[@evertha.serna.m.6941]

Excellent video Joey 💪🏼, CBum is an idol for many others due to the physique he has achieved and his training techniques.💯

[@smbrumbaugh]

Dude, in that last exercise I think your tongue got as much work as your biceps. Lol! Great video. I like when you break down your thoughts on different workouts. Great vid.

[@domepiece11]

Very few guys can pull off a mustache without looking like a dad, a d bag cop, a creeper, or a hipster. Your thick mustache with the stubble beard looks REALLY good. You are a mustache unicorn. I think part of it is you don’t need a full beard because you have a strong jawline but a little facial hair adds additional masculinity.
