Facts

[@jordonlittle5]

Agreed

[@fender1000100]

@Barnacle Boy For real Don Howarth Mr Shoulders. Was the man in the 60s. Never really cared for the politics of bodybuilding. Sergio stole his shine. But never saw a bodybuilder who could just stand there and impress as much.

[@JayBuccola]

Definitely.

[@MarcoIsBig]

Serge is one of my training influences. I also train in this high volume fashion. I put up my workouts here. This style works excellent for muscle growth.

[@gatway2376]

He was 55 at the time of this video. Now imagine looking like a pure beast at that age

[@main_stream_media_is_a_joke]

Agree.... He looks like he is in his early 30's in this video. Absolutely amazing body development and maintenance.

[@antonioingram8825]

Damn

[@stevebelanger6879]

I was fortunate to be causally acquainted with Serge around this same time. He trained at golds gym in cypress,ca in Orange County. He trained as shown in this video. He did like a timed protocol counting reps not sets in a certain time parameter. Say twenty minutes on bench press and got a certain number of reps then next BP session would try to increase on that number.

[@craig4867]

Serge Nubret, Steve Reeves and Vince Gironda, are the ultimate in bodybuilding physiques!

[@targetrender9529]

He was 50 here. Over a decade after this, in his 60’s, he still looked fantastic.

[@gabrielsachs8939]

I thought he was born in 1938

[@bobdole27]

[@loho316]

One of the all-time greats alongside others like Frank Zane, Francis Benfatto, Bob Paris, Shawn Ray,...., classical aesthetic physiques. Serge Nubret was 55 years young here, unbelievable!

[@toastedcrack8105]

55? Damn. Let’s shoot to look half as good at that age lol.

[@raindoset5408]

I thought he was in his 30s

[@dozermendoza]

It's not overtraining because the weights are lighter. Less taxing on central nervous system. He also incorporated 20 and 30 second rest periods. Longer rest periods on lower body. I also stopped lifting heavy weights often. No more aches and pains. With shorter rest periods, you have to decrease the weight. Feels awesome.

[@dozermendoza]

@Jason Bates if you mean "conditioning" yes. Adds a cardio type element if you take short rest periods on compound movements. Compound movements require longer rest period because more muscles involved, more oxygen supply needed. So typically at least 1 minute rest between sets, but if you shorten it to 30 seconds on squats or rows, adds cardio type feel.

[@nattybynature1262]

How does it work for hypertrophy??

[@heribertocandelaria2140]

I agree! I started moderate weigh, higher reps and very short rest periods between sets and my joints feel alot better. I also superset alot which is really good all by itself

[@heribertocandelaria2140]

@@dozermendoza been doing a super set barbell rows and shoulder press with 45 sec breaks between sets and im freaking winded like i ran a few sprints

[@dozermendoza]

@@nattybynature1262 less rest does not allow adequate clearance time for blood and metabolites from lactiacidosis. You muscle stays pumped, and creates occlusion. Allows you to get into the burn zone. The burn, lactiacidosis, creates the key thing needed, which is Metabolic Stress. Metabolic stress is one of the things that stimulates hypertrophy.

[@730holdings2]

ESPN 2 was so dope. I legit miss this stuff was a kid watching pro beach hockey, bodybuilding, and bowling along with the x games

[@jacobanderson9262]

His training system works! I wish I had done this in my 20s and 30s!

[@sethlamanna7996]

Me to i went heavy and now i have back shoulder issues i was stupid and didnt listen to my Dad

[@jacobanderson9262]

@@sethlamanna7996 this system works. You use lighter weight and focus of form, volume and minimum rest. It doesn't make you look tough, but once you see the results, you'll wonder why you didn't do this before.

[@Gabriel-xe4jo]

How much rest btw sets ?

[@jacobanderson9262]

@@Gabriel-xe4jo15 seconds up to 1 min. Just enough time to regain your breath, and flush as much blood into the muscles

[@Gabriel-xe4jo]

[@jagaz1239]

Quite possibly the most underrated bodybuilder of the golden era. Wish that Arnold would release the large amount of footage they have of him training from the cut pumping iron content

[@yabeenbamboozled5067]

Serge was a pure bodybuilder ... all about the pump

[@terrydonegan1622]

Thank you Serge. I'm new to the g but I've already adopted the light high reps way of thinking. God bless you

[@chillout2nyc]

Serge was an inspiring bodybuilder. Love the 💪flex 💪after each set 😂

[@garrison6863]

He was a great bodybuilder. the sport took a step backwards when they opted for the mass monsters over Nubret, Makkawy, Labrada and Paris. Zane said that when everybody went to lunch, Nubret stayed in the gym and when they returned he was still working out.

[@solb101]

They didn’t serve horse meat in the local cafe

[@ClassicPhysique27]

[@Bathoggywinger]

He looks like that at 50!?, just legendary!

[@t-rexpaca518]

Yes, I remeber him in a report about his career in a french magazine: he said that people asked to him when he was 52 years old: " how will you be when you're old??"...He replied:"I'm old!" :)

[@octobass9072]

Just look at dexter

[@Trendle222]

55 here , was born in 38' , looks like he is 35 lol

[@anass5835]

@Ana Schrödinger510 people didnt even count age back then. Its a new thing and they had different calenders. Humans brow ridge grow more the older they get. Look at all the "neanderthall skulls" and ancient human skulls almost all have big browridges. There are also numerous accounts of people living upto 150+ years search it up. Aging is a disease death is certain.

[@gbaker1a775]

He was 55 in this video.

In my opinion the best golden era bodybuilder to exist, not only that I’ve done 8x12 that he uses on simple compound lifts even curls it kills muscles in a good way and works

[@saikumargonapu3795]

Legend of all time

[@PeculiAair]

Thank you for uploading.

[@markwinchester3005]

High volume - never to failure w/ short test breaks not only builds mass quickly, it also burns fat like a furnace. 1yr later & am now certain Serge was exactly right for muscle mass. Medium-sized weights done for many sets w/ little rest in between IS the way. I did HIT for over 40 (FORTY!) damn years thinking I wasn't training heavy or hard enough when I was actually training too hard & too heavy. Totally contradicts everything I thought I knew about muscle building.

[@markwinchester3005]

2yrs later & STILL just as sold on Serge's methods.

[@fernandofuriaesq.6266]

@1:05 Wide grip chins with overhand grip. All you need for the lats according to Leroy Colbert. Also the avoidance of super heavy weights. Experience has taught me that is totally true.

[@bradleyellis7336]

True to a point. But Dorian and Ronnie coleman suffered greatly because of the heavy stuff. Ronnie more so. Serge trained and was in great shape at 70 plus years.

[@bradleyellis7336]

Ronnie coleman does not share that blessing. He was king of heavy. Heavy is a young man's game. Everything catches up in the latter years.

[@pablorubin9638]

[@achieveidealweighify]

One of my favorite bodybuilders of the golden age. I 100% percent agree with him about ego training with heavyweights. Not really for bodybuilding. Moderate weights to stimulate the muscle is the way to go for a bodybuilder.

In Pumping Iron I think that Serge Nubret should have won. His abs were better defined and his was waist smaller and his overall muscle definition was proportional. Lou Ferigno should have won 2nd place.

[@sethlamanna7996]

Great Build on Serge and he's so right about lighter weights and more reps heavy weights create chaos and injury Human body was not designed to use heavy weights look at a Farmer for instance slinging Hay Bales all day 50-60lbs a bale go mess with one of those guys and see if they arent some of the toughest SOB's around

I a 47 years old bodybuilder and I practice this sport (the best one) since I'm 14 years old.I remember a french magazine in the '80 that spoke about Serge, the tittle was "The last Lord". What would be better tittle than that? After more than 30 years of bodybuilding, I desesperately try to workout like him, but he was "a little bit" better than me! lolThank for this video!

[@louiedioso6522]

I used to always lift heavy and had almost no injuries. Once I got into my late 30s, I really started feeling the pain. Two years ago I changed my workouts to Serge's style and I have made more gains and have had no injuries or pain from a workout. Last summer at 45-years-old I made my beet gains ever.
