370: Training Methodologies Of A Natty Pro Coach - Cliff Wilson

[@majinzanza]

Wow! This episode was amazing! I'm kinda kicking myself that I haven't listened to this one sooner, but better late than never!

[@ironmaiden4966]

That’s my coach… Go Team Wilson!💯

[@tamslean]

Thank you gents, awesome podcast and valuable info as always. Totally agreed on high rep sets, been implementing for over a year now and the development & mind muscle improvements I've noticed have been better than any time during my lifting career.

[@ReviveStronger]

Glad you enjoyed this one man - Steve

[@richardtrass]

Thank you both. Very interesting chat

[@NJN23]

This was an amazing show; me listening from both the perspective of a competitive natural bodybuilder and also as a personal trainer

[@wesrobinson7506]

Wow very interesting take, makes complete sense about the technique/mind muscle connection section and really hammering away and getting the reps to nail the movement

[@ReviveStronger]

Thanks for tuning in - Steve

[@AlexWitoslawski]

I love the message about intuitive high rep training to establish a mind-muscle connection. I recently started doing more hack squats and for some reason find the movement to be odd. My form is all over the place, I'm weak on the movement, etc. Last leg day I was thinking of just doing something like this: 3 sets of leg curls Sets of 15-20 reps of hack squats with a lighter load than usual, until I'm no longer able to perform any more sets Superset that with calf raises on the hack squat machine And that's it. But I stopped myself from doing that because I HAVE TO FOLLOW MY PLAN! But damn, maybe next time I'll just try that and hopefully it helps me nail the form on that movement.

23:50 me too! Hi, reps are great to create the mind muscle connection. I know not everybody loves that term, but it’s basically what he’s saying when you need to improve your technique and your ability to engage certain muscles in certain movements, especially compound once. I also have a client who is tricep, dominant, and we have to burn his triceps out before he benches, we’ve also worked on shoulder stability because his secondary front belt dominant. Now he’s seeing chested element with things like higher red bench press, kettle bell/fat bell floor press, and swiss ball, dumbbell chest, Flys, in the higher rep range. You have to take out the muscle that is taking over the intended one.

[@terryhagen8171]

Great podcast! Forgot about how effective high rep training it is. Also to help better establish mind to muscle connection

[@gamerchristina1079]

I loved it! Thank you both!! 💪💪❤️❤️‼️

[@ReviveStronger]

Glad you enjoyed it! - Steve

[@roshi_strider]

higher reps with light weights to get the mind muscle connection, reminds me of the bronze era light dumbbell system which they did for some time as a beginner before they eventually moved on to heavier weights training.

[@ReviveStronger]

It's a bit more old school/intuitive right? - Steve

[@kasrasayten9047]

this was so enjoyable to listen, ty steve

[@ReviveStronger]

You got it! - Steve

[@Marvin-Thomas05]

Love this guy's opinions. So much so I bought his book ❤

[@ReviveStronger]

Nice one! - Steve

[@bigpicturegains]

I do believe high rep work is highly underrated. Everyone wants to lift heavy to impress people and social media but we are leaving a useful tool on the table.

[@patrickbateman4541]

I did a week or two of just that before a festival, and I got a very full 3D ballooned up look to my muscles, so I've stuck to keeping it in my routine since. Lifting heavy for years before this, although always with very strict form

[@ColeDano]

Another super refreshing podcast. This is the real stuff Steve. It's kind of a shame that there's anything here that would be considered 'outside the box'.

[@ReviveStronger]

Yeah I didn't think it was too outside the box :) - Steve

[@nise-miro]

I've had difficult coming up with exercise variation for hitting muscle gropus 3x per week since my gym doesnt have that much equipment This inspired me to try out using the same exercise but for high reps, hopefully it'll work out!

[@ReviveStronger]

Rep range, slight change in tempo - both good ways to have variation with similar movements - even exercise order - Steve

[@flexforall2]

God, this is good stuff 🎉🎉

[@ReviveStronger]

Thank you Matt! - Steve

[@cdrtej]

Great content beats great audio production every time!

[@ReviveStronger]

You should have seen the raw audio files, hohoho - Pascal

Perfect video

[@adrians5875]

Great podcast

Cheers - Steve

[@TheBaitShopGuy]

Gotta do some extra sets of shrugs being a natty as that upper trap area doesnt grow easy natty compared to enhanced

[@johnjewett7970]

Great episode

Thanks for tuning in John - Steve

[@AnaGfit23]

I love this conversation because it really is so individualized. 25:35 also I thought this was commonplace knowledge? My quads, lagged, so instead of immediately going to heavy barbell bench press, I spent many months to a year, working on my hip, flexor mobility, strength, split squats, high rep, metabolite, work for quads, and building up my volume threshold for quads, and my lactic acid threshold and neurological connection (I.e. MMC) NOW I am training barbell squats, because I’m training powerlifting. I do love our squad, but now my quads are responding, as well as my abductors and glutes. I think sometimes people wanna go right for the stereotypical bang for your buck exercise, but I think everyone’s path to creating a balanced physique, looks very different. Which is obvious when you write it out, but everybody wants to give the same programming prescription. Or somebody who’s lower body, muscles and quads, particularly weren’t lagging, they could have probably just started barbell squatting. But everybody’s different. I love this conversation.

[@JK-pp2xl]

Did he just claim a natty did 10 plates for 80 reps? Suuuuuure. Not even sure Chris Bumstead could do have that.

[@evan191919]

Lmao at Chris Bumstead being your go-to leg press guy

[@JK-pp2xl]

@@evan191919 lmao at you thinking you compare

[@KaydeDrummond-w3w]

The claim was he failed at attempting 7 plates for 70, he never made it farther than that

Best way to start a pod is to create a caricature of every single listener and roast them.

where did they do that here?

Who hurt you

35:29 interesting i grow since years but just a bit

[@rezin9361]

The house of hypotrophy and this man is the same?

[@ReviveStronger]

I'd highly doubt it - Steve

[@brendanbuchanan3543]

i don’t agree with the dichotomy he creates with the evidence based trainers and the bros. he said that the evidence base sphere nails rir’s etc but neglects the nutrition side of training. i’m sure this ties to his personal experience but using a blanket statement like that is just not true. case and point is the RP team. i’m also curious on why he has his clients train in the 30-40 rep range if the current literature shows 5-30 being the most effective and anything beyond results in unnecessary fatigue. i think the better approach would be to address biomechanics with his clients so they can stick to a regimen that doesn’t have unnecessary junk volume. let’s say that 30-40 rep range is effective according to the research down the line-wouldn’t it still be better to have your clients meet adherence over optimization in the case that they absolutely hate that rep range and potentially miss sessions because of it?

[@kapoioBCS]

It is probably the first time in this channel that i hear such low level fake guru level of ideas and opinions from a guest..

[@Omar1066]

Please could you elaborate?

[@Guyfr0mcr0wd]

explain please

[@cbappa2]

​@@Omar1066don't take anyone with an anime avatar serious. I'm halfway through the podcast and this guy is spot on with pretty much all of his ideas and experience

[@richardtrass]

I don’t think he’s a fake guru. Experience is at least as valuable as science. If not more

[@bigpicturegains]

Dismissing what someone is saying outright who has lots of experience and success advancing themselves & others is top tier stupidity.

[@oldnatty61]

Dumb?
