Thoughts? Strength through length refers to the concept developing strength through longer ranges of motion - and is a founding principle in my training and programs. While some doubt strength through lengths effectiveness for hypertrophy, Arnold makes quite a strong case for it. It’s also been well documented that developing flexibility and training through a longer, pain free range of motion can enhance hypertrophy and injury prevention So if you need one more reason to include flexibility in your training - do it for Arnold To gain access to my custom app, programs, weekly giveaways, and Skool’s largest health & fitness community - join Movementgems Elite today!

😂 if I remember correctly I set up my camera so the water bottle is in the center of the shot, as it’s hard to know where true center is otherwise. The things I do to get you guys good footage 😎
These exercises aren't about flexibility, but mobility. He was flexible because of how mobile his body was. Arnold's mechanics and technique for lifting were perfect.
i used to be able to do a great pancake, but i spent two weeks on my ass for a holiday, like barely above ZERO movement, and when i went back to the gym, it took me over a month to work back up to my flexability, except for my right ham/glute. now when i stretch my right hamstring in the outward range for a pancake, either sitting or standing, it feels like my glute and hamstring are tearing apart from each other just under my "sit bone"
Arlond probably be the best idol for bodybuilding without going extreme. As he is still able to perform & stay active at his age. Not like most professionals.
It really depends Mike Metzner had a bunch of shit advice honestly. You cant just listen to the greats because even they can be wrong. Arnold still being in shape is a good showing that he was right.
How what Arnold was doing was a "Jefferson row"? absolutely no similarity, unless the footage was a representational one and he actually did a different row documented elsewhere.
The similarity is in the rounded spine. Orthodox rows are done with a neutral spine. But definitely agree - I am emphasizing hamstring flexibility in my row while Arnold is emphasizing strength. Same movement on different parts of the flexibility/ strength continuum. If you TH-cam “Arnold barbell row” you can see a better angle of him doing these rounded back rows
@@Movementgems But brother, the low back is staying relatively fixed in place/unmoved, even though it is rounded. The whole point of the JC on the other hand is flexion of the low back. I just saw another clip when searching for Arnold Barbell Row, as you suggested, titled 'T bar row'. That clip probably has more low back flexion.
So your saying Arnold trained to failure with full rom even changing exercises to get better rom and trains 6 days a week damn did he have it down and people ride Mike mentzer like half the things he said weren’t wrong not that he could have known
Did he overtrain? Probably. Was his form bad? Absolutely not, his form is nearly perfect, only thing he could do better is not bounce out the bottom of the movement

Im getting flashbacks for that last one
💀
Ahahhahaha
You set the water bottle in that exact spot purposefully, right? AHAHAHA
In the deleted scenes he picked the bottle with his glutes
@@Dilfed_69 He also took off the cap with his cheeks and but chugged.=)

Dangerous bro

1 guy 1 bottle 💀
mcgill and glassbacks are punching air rn
100% right except for that bottle. You're wrong for that.

That can’t be Arnold in the first picture right?!?! 😂 😂
those are fake legs on the top of his table. he is behind them forcing the angle
Also he would lower the dumbbells nearly all the way to the floor on dumbbell flys while lying on a bench.

How do you train for those lower dips? I messed my shoulder up doing those low dips so I keep it at 90
It really depends Mike Metzner had a bunch of shit advice honestly. You cant just listen to the greats because even they can be wrong. Arnold still being in shape is a good showing that he was right.
your legs are crazy
Why sorry McGill? I wanna know
Lifting with back?
He still lied about his measurements.
Huh? Arnold’s legs were bent as hell
This guy is clueless lol.

And steroids u cant forget steroids
Yeah i'll never go that low on dips no matter what you say
Because you are waaay too stiff. I also wont be able to make a split even though he might tell me how good it is haha

Arnold did a lot wrong too. 52 set workouts twice a day 6 days per week is not a great idea tbh
@@paint3839 yeah u right about that
bro was just egolifting, overtraining with bad form i ain't taking Arnold seriously lol
