Shadowing Practice: Spring Bulk Day 1 - Legs - Learn English Speaking with Video

Creando lección...
1
Oh yeah,
2
all right.
3
What is up?
4
It's fucking...
5
For some of you, this has been long-awaited.
6
others of you, perhaps a little bit less so.
7
Either way, here we are.
8
Today is fucking leg day.
9
Driving down to a more of a hardcore gym before I move back to school.
10
Should get a pretty fucking crazy lift.
11
So yeah, this is pretty much episode one of the bulk.
12
day one current weight 230 pounds
13
so you know over the next turn
14
so over the next couple of months we're going to be
15
increasing calories strength is going to go up sets are going to go up fucking size is going to go up
16
that's the really exciting part but shit if you guys are just maintaining or whatever
17
and you're questioning whether you should be bulking you may as well start right now we could be doing it together but
18
i'll be doing i'm not gonna make a video every day
19
but every time i make one i'll check in with the
20
weight say how the progress is going oh shit is this light red
21
oh fuck that was red as fuck wait the split i get i get asked about the split a lot
22
I don't think it's that important, honestly.
23
It's not...
24
Like, it's important.
25
You don't want to have some weird-ass, like, bicep day, tricep day.
26
You don't want to have something weird going on.
27
But from what I've sort of gathered over the last few years of lifting,
28
is it's a pretty reasonable rule of thumb to hit every muscle group twice a week-ish.
29
Right?
30
So every seven or eight days, you're going to want to hit everything twice.
31
So when people talk about push-pull legs or the Arnold split, or like where they do push-pull legs and Arnold, that's what they're doing.
32
They're hitting everything twice a week, and then they're taking that rest day.
33
Now for me, I don't mess with the rest day.
34
I just go legs, chest, back, and arms.
35
shoulders all kind of spread around like you know after arms
36
maybe I'll do some side I'll do side delts you know
37
during chest maybe I'll do a little bit of front delts
38
that's something you you're going to want to hit about double
39
or you're going to want to hit your front delts about half as much as you do your side
40
and rear at least as long as they're reasonably developed because every time you're benching,
41
every pressing movement, essentially, you're activating some front delt.
42
And when you're curling, you're activating it.
43
It's just people overdo it, right?
44
You want that side and rear so that your shoulder really gets a round look.
45
So for a long time, I mean, I mean, for me, my shoulders are already reasonably overdeveloped in relation to my arms.
46
I haven't done an overhead pressing movement in probably two years, maybe two and a half years.
47
So leave in the comments how many of you guys are over 200 pounds
48
and how many of you guys are below 200 pounds.
49
So is that enough talking?
50
Do you want more?
51
Do you want less?
52
Do you want more training?
53
You got to tell me.
54
I don't know.
55
I'm just showing you what I do.
56
But let's get in there.
57
So I tweaked my hamstring pretty good like two weeks ago
58
it's getting pretty close to recover but I don't want to push it
59
Come on.
60
I'm sure a lot of you guys, when you get leg day, you're doing more quad exercises than hamstrings.
61
it's going to give you a weirder look.
62
You want it to be balanced.
63
The hamstrings look good.
64
Two more
65
sets of hamstrings.
66
Oh, no. So, hamstring's done.
67
Definitely a good idea to warm up the quads a little bit on leg extension to boot squats.
68
I always do just get a little more blood flow.
69
Get them all activated, whatever.
70
Just feels better.
71
All right.
72
This is the goddamn church of the gym.
73
Squat rep.
74
Is that too high up?
75
I'm already getting nervous.
76
What?
77
You should
78
probably want to piss your pants at about halfway through the warm-up sets.
79
I can feel some drips coming.
80
I'm not immune.
81
All right.
82
Pretty big ones.
83
No big deal yet.
84
Now I'm just trying to get serious.
85
Okay.
86
Alright.
87
Alright.
88
Thank you.
89
make sure you slam the weight as loud as possible but it's like what
90
did I just fucking over did I just do all right when it hits five I get a spotter
91
you know I want to ego lift safely Oh
92
Thanks man.
93
I appreciate it.
94
Let's see Andrew Eubanks hit this weight.
95
I'm just doing the one set.
96
I move on to some tips.
97
So there's no chance that I can hit that same squat weight again.
98
So in my mind, you just do the one, go all out, and move on to something else.
99
There we go.
100
Alright, classic drop set.
101
Leg extension, the machine leg press.
102
So the weight doesn't have to be too crazy, but when it starts burning that's a good sign.
103
So just a little bit more of an advanced movement, but Smith machine sissy squats.
104
I'm going to go.
105
I'm killing you so
106
i haven't been going on going heavy on legs this whole diet so
107
I can tell my glutes like the tie-in of my glutes and hamstrings.
108
They're feeling pretty tight just from the squats.
109
So I think we'll just finish off with some more leg extensions.
110
I'll check the pump.
111
body weight 60 squats after leg extensions is a perfect drop set Fuck
112
Holy shit.
113
that's way too many veins for a bulk
114
if we're being honest once those go away we're going in the right direction
115
All right.
116
Let's do some calves and we're done.
117
I know I said if you guys were thinking about bulking, you should start bulking with me so we can do it together.
118
But I changed my mind.
119
If you weigh less than 200 pounds right now, I'm mandating that you start a bulk.
120
All right.
121
2023 is not the year of whatever.
122
It's not the year.
123
It's not a new year, new me.
124
2023 is the year of the 200 pounders.
125
Okay.
126
I'm seeing way too many lifters who have been under 200 pounds for way too long.
127
It's not a problem to be under 200 pounds.
128
It's a problem to stay under 200 pounds.
129
You see the difference, right?
130
If you're growing, perfect.
131
You're good.
132
You're golden.
133
You're already, that's all you can do.
134
You know, I'm not, when I say, you know, you're gonna, you're breaking the law by being under 200 pounds.
135
There is an exception when you're gaining weight, when you're actually, essentially you're on probation.
136
You know, if, if you check in with me, your probation officer, and you tell me, Sam, I gained one pound this week.
137
That's what I want to hear.
138
That is fucking great if you've got a little just a little itch
139
if you've got a little something in the back of your
140
mind that's telling you you know i could get a little bigger you know oh
141
that guy's kind of big he's a little bigger than me
142
now it's your sign all right this is the spring 2023 bulk it has begun
143
uh can i do four double cheeseburgers and a large fry

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?

Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
