Eric and I discuss his current training program here: th-cam.com/video/s3Zo839uOuk/w-d-xo.html . I wrote the first book on hypertrophy periodization! Check it out here: askdrswole.com/
Hi Dr. Swole. I tried to sign up for the book on your website, but didn’t get an email. I’m going to try it again tonight, but you may want to check to see if the site is working properly. Thanks.
@@thesonofzeus6145 I dont feel any sharp pain when doing sets but they feel inflamed. I'm switching from EZ bar SCs to Dumbbell. What also helped is extended the arms kind of behind my head where my elbows arent directly stacked, like how Natural Hypertrophy does them. I do get a nice pump from SCs.
I fu*k my elbows doing 5 reps of SCs with 95 because one gymbro was doing, when my normal weight on SCs for 8 reps was 80, now after 18 months surviving with tendonitis , my elbows hurt sometimes, but i can do with 115 for 10 easy, but my elbows never felt the same... Guys, listen, go slow, slow progressive overload is the Key, give time to your tendons to adapt... And always do cable tríceps pressdown, at least 3 sets to warm-up your elbows before SCs. I love SCs, but IS dangerous If done wrong
I once met Eric Helms at powerlifting worlds in Calgary. I didn't realize it was him but said he looks like Eric Helms. He said that's because he is. I said......that makes sense.
I really enjoy your interviews and appreciate how you keep the topics/questions so practical! I’d love to hear you host multiple guests at once like either Dr. Mike, Eric, Menno, and/or Jared Feather to do a bulking or minicut roundtable. But I’ll keep listening even if you don’t!
Great episode! I especially liked how he addressed the "T taper". I mean, look at my profile pic...I definitely have that problem (shadows make it look even worse than it actually is, but still). I've been focusing more on narrow grip pulldowns to bring up the lats. Can't wait for episode 2 on lower body!
@@Yeahhoee you're right. I should focus on getting food and clean water....OK, that's taken care of, so I will now continue to address my first world problems. Thanks.
Great episode Dr. Swole. Eric mentioned elbow health several times. I have found that direct forearm work via wrist curls and reverse curls is excellent prevention for elbow tendon issues.
I have a quick question, so I been training on a upper lower upper split. Mon, tues and either thurs, Friday with weekend off to spend time with my kids. I noticed and I do a relatively low volume approach like for example chest would be like 4 sets of 10 flat dumbbell press. I seem to stay sore all the way up into that training day of Thursday or Friday. I have however noticed my side delts and delts in general recover fast my chest, tris, and Lats take way longer. Is this a good approach. I choose this over other splits do to a busy work schedule as a carpenter
I’d recommend having at least twice per week frequency for all muscle groups. You may be able to increase frequency for muscles that recover quickly by modifying the split
how does a channel with 264k subs get only about 2k views on average? Also, did his channel just blow up suddenly? Last I checked (couldn't be more than 2 years ago) the sub count was
I have no tendonitis in my arms. However, I take the time to make sure I come to a complete stop between eccentric and concentric portions of the movement to avoid that jerkiness. I feel like that creates more stress on the tendons. Also, slow eccentrics will help with building more collagen.
Absolutely outstanding video! Highly informative and super helpful. Thank you so much for sharing such an amazing and insightful video with us! Everything was explained in a comprehensive manner. Really loved it thoroughly from start to finish. I greatly appreciate all the great work! 🙏
Thanks for this content. Perfect timing because I sprained my LCL. So for now, I’ll be Johnny Bravo lol. Sucks not to be able to squat and deadlift since I’m a powerlifter.

first rule of training arms: don't get tendonitis and keep the elbows healthy
Avoiding injury is key 🔑
Yeah skullcrushers grew my triceps really well but wrecked my elbows. I use mostly cables for arms now.

Love listening to Eric’s take on hypertrophy. Also enjoy his podcasts on silver era bodybuilding
He’s great !

Nice ahah
He’s a funny guy in person
@@DrSwole ya he is. Seems bit more serious in his interviews
@@shorter2051 yep ahah
That’s totally something Eric would say lmao
I see the Norwood reaper has visited Dr. Eric Helms's hair.

Get Natural Hypertrophy on with those guys to mix it up.
lol this summarizes last 4 years of youtube channels in 50 minutes

Abduction sounds like Adduction
AB sounds like AD

So is Rear Delt work not needed for max development ?
For most, no
Isn’t Lat prayers essentially the straight arm pullover Eric recommended?
Lat prayers have a modification where you straighten out at the hips (stand up slightly) during the movement
@@DrSwole yep. Understand. But essentially it’s a very similar exercise I think. Works similar muscles 💪🏼 Thanks for the reply doc.
@@richardtrass yes very similar
how does a channel with 264k subs get only about 2k views on average? Also, did his channel just blow up suddenly? Last I checked (couldn't be more than 2 years ago) the sub count was
Chest and back, legs. Then shoulders and arms!!!!
Any tips, besides using wraps, for wristpain?
Find substitutions for the exercises that cause you pain

What’s a good way to program chest/ back, legs, shoulders and arms so you can hit them twice a week as a natural.
Depends on how many days per week you want to train
Most of my program templates have at least a twice per week frequency
@@DrSwole I would say 4-5 days per week
Just overwhelmingly insightful

Biceps preacher curls , cable curls , and spider curls magic flex 💪 ✨️ the rest is 👍 agree. Good vid
Thanks!
Such an awesome channel for hypertrophy enthusiasts.
