Sounds like it’s not just your body that’s growing it’s also your mind and knowledge of bodybuilding, every day is a school day!! Keep it up big guy! 🤙🏻
love Wesley for always working hard af on weak points and certain things he wants to improve, like the lower lats, even vacuuming everyday, this is what it takes to be a champ. LETS GET IT
This chanel really shows what turning pro does to you. You were big and detailed before pro card, but the difference in last year or two is unbelievable, whole new level
Wesley try this superset: V-raises on a incline bench with back hyperextension. V-raises will hit that stubborn LOWER TRAPS & hyperextension hits LOWER LATS. (I have seen Shawn Rhoden do V-raises often in his training videos & he has some of the complete Trap development)
@@georgemorgan5 no it not a Pullover. Search V raises for lower Trap in youtube. Athlean X has a video on it.. Hyperextension is the most important exercise you can do in gym to stay injury free.
Hey Wesley, a good exercise for the middle to lower traps I have found is get in the position you are in at 7:15 and shrug the weight, it is important to be close to 45 degrees, you can load up the weight more of course, just shrug the shoulder blades together, DISCLAIMER: I am not any specialist, I just figured it out muself so you dont have to listen to me. Just try it if you want, if you didnt understand smth feel free to ask me to be more specific, english is not my native language either
Wesley, for the Q and A, would you considering explaining the lat pulldown, step by step? How to hold your hands, where to "aim" your elbows, how low should you go etc?
Charles Glass has a variation of the dumbbell row where he starts the movement with the weight accros the body, and as he pulls up and back to the hip, he also tries to pull the elbow around the back of the body and supinates the hand. Can't find the video anymore, but I had great results emphasizing the lower lats this way. I believe it is a superior variation of the classic dumbbell row for stubborn lower lats. Keep up the good work, waiting to see you place as you deserve in Olympia. Cheers.
You have sick development bro! don't be too harsh on yourself lol The thickness and those quad sweep plus hams need the most attention and we all see you doing the work!! Awesome motivation, thanks
When you hit the front double without the vacuum it looked very good and flexing down on your abs makes your waist look smaller imo.Keep it up man you're gonna be a top guy next year!
Zoveel potentie, blijf doorgaan en je gaat sowieso een keer de top 3 halen van de olympia. Je outro laat wel zien dat je heel weinig glanst, amerika houd van veel olie als je op het podium staat heb ik het idee. Ik blijf je sowieso volgen, echt goede videos.
I've been lifting for about 7 years and you have provided the best advice that I've come across. Thank you and stay humble! Quick (maybe stupid) question - Do you have any recommendations if I want to look less thick and more defined? I typically lift heavy/slow- I have thick arms but no peaks, tree trunk legs and a thick back, but want to go for a less "hardened" and a sharper look, like a Christiano Rinaldo with more developed chest/muscle, or Michael B Jordan. My routine - Lifting many compounds like deadlifts, bench, squats, rows etc with some accessory like curls/lat raises.
Love your channel also gone support your brand been falling u for about 2 years now man really sad I missed u at fibo last year and I just couldn’t make it this year good luck and keep it up bro
I saw him at he fibo yesterday. He was the most pleasing bodybuilder in my opinion. His arm were awesome. Now i will do one of his routines and during training i will imagine that body. Thank you for that great videos and inspiration.
Wesley it good to see your workout videos I learn so much from them. Also, how important it is,, to be honest with yourself and go back to the gym and make corrections to improve.
Underhand bent over row is what got Samir Bannout his excellent back, Dorian Yates the same (until he switched to more upright type) and definitely Phil Heath, whom has said countless times it's the exercise that got him the Olympia targeting the full lats.
When training back I feel it works best if I imagine that 1 rep is made of 4 movements,like for a split second when the bar is like 2 palms away from my stomach I create a small break and then the weight shifts on to my back 100% and I just contract , same thing on the way back,I hold it with my my back then there is a split second when it feels like im doing the stretching part. What I noticed , besides a greater pump is that my arms do not get involved as much in the exercise and this in return creates more control on working the back.Its kinda like when doing pullups,if you hang at the bottom you have to re-engage the back before you continue the movement or you end up lifting with your arms and swinging,last thing is the stretching part,I found that not stretching to the max also makes my back more engaged and forces me to keep the force of the entire rep on my back instead of arms and my spine and neck stay fixed in place,giving full control on the movements,just feels 10 times better.
Mate, go to marbella and workout a deal to train with Dorian Yates for 12months or so. He will have your back/legs looking twice as thick in no time. Or just get in touch via the internet. I would love to see you, the young classic physique lion being trained by the old beast; the original mass monster! 💪
Looking awesome Wes. Triceps have really come up, & look great with the striations you achieve in them. A little more mass on the upper long head, & they're going to add to your already long list of very strong body parts. You have the structure to get to top for sure. Standing next to Laureus at the end there, you can see just how wide your back really is. The thickness & detail will catch up, is only a matter of time.
Yo Wesley you need to start picking up the intensity and work rate now, I watch Breon's videos and he is outworking you and he is the champ! Let's go Wes let's go!!
3 of these exercises are more for back width than thickness....especially doing underhand targets the lats instead of the upper back... to really target back thickness u need to be doing chest supprted rows, rack pulls, shrugs, etc...
I knew you read the comments but hearing it made me think. I heard you wanted to improve the long head of the tricep yeah? Well i know a good set for that. The thing you call french press. Do that to failure. Then do skullcrushers. Do that to failure. And then do close clip bench press. A lot of hypertrophy in the triceps. Also might need to work on the lower traps as well. But I don’t know how the efficiently work that
Great video as always. Would like to see some cheat meals in future videos, because I think I have never seen wesley eat a pizza or any other fast food. 😂😂
All what you need is the quality muscle and working on your abdominal and waist and that what you get when you work smart use cabel try to decrease the free wiaght as much as you can plus the dead lift that can just make you look bigger and that's not what you need you're already big enough for classic physics ,that my opinion with all respect champion
Hey Wesley big fan from Chicago. What do you think about kre-alkalyn? I am considering taking it but i am a little hesitant because im 5'8 260 pounds. I have lost 34 pounds since august but i hear that i will gain weight if i do try it. Would really like to hear your fead back. Thanks. Keep up the great work. U really inspire me because im more of a classic body builder type of guy. #Q&A VINTAGE GINETICS
Wesley, I sincerely think you should train your abs more. Every old school bodybuilder with a SMALL and DEFINED midsection did lots of direct bodyweight ab training. I think your mid section is the weak link atm. It doesn't connect your great upper body to your legs, which I think furthermore creates the illusion that your legs are lagging. I would like to hear your own opinion on it. I know you're aware of your midsection being a weak point, but I reckon it's not just your stomach control like you think.
I'll be incorporating more bodyweight ab exercises. I have noticed that my obliques are too involved when doing weighted ab exercises. I 'unfortunately' have a strong core so most crunch exercises (even with the entire weight stack) are pretty easy. However, I find doing leg raises more difficult and challenging with higher volume. That tells me my lower abs are a weaker point too, as well as the rectus abdominas in general.
@@VintageGenetics Yeah I reckon that will work! May I recommend decline ab crunches? They really helped me a lot. I find that those are the easiest to focus on the contraction. I truly wish you the best of luck. I hope just like all of us that it's not about the trophy and what they think looks good but about what you want to sculpt out of your body.
Good bro as i suggested work on ur lower lats as arnold did which he did a lot💪great video. Next year will be ur year bro keep at it up. Hopefully they see ur physique and relize this is the physique we want winning cause u have a true golden era classic physiqie like arnold. V bar chins are great as well arnold did a lot. Also he did one arm cable rows with full stretch for lower lats
Sounds like it’s not just your body that’s growing it’s also your mind and knowledge of bodybuilding, every day is a school day!! Keep it up big guy! 🤙🏻
Appreciate it!
Can't wait for the time to come where Wesley's physique is unanimously agreed by all the judges as being the standard to be 💯
Then he needs to get better bro
@@mrsmithers9612 notice my use of "can't wait for"
when*
I agree the man has true dedication
Just came back from the Gym.!!! What better then a Vintage Genetics video !!! 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
So much valuable information, thanks !!!
Thanks man!
Wesley even admits when he's going too heavy.... world class
love Wesley for always working hard af on weak points and certain things he wants to improve, like the lower lats, even vacuuming everyday, this is what it takes to be a champ. LETS GET IT
Your voice and accent is awesome. Great physic. Keep killin it and you'll get yourself a 1st place finish!
This chanel really shows what turning pro does to you. You were big and detailed before pro card, but the difference in last year or two is unbelievable, whole new level
Got the motivation I needed. I’m a natural bodybuilder and enjoy just working out, just feels good. Enjoy your videos,?stay golden!💪🏾
That right there, is the most responsible and the best coach you can ever have, highly recommend
Thanks Daniel!

V-raises will hit that stubborn LOWER TRAPS & hyperextension hits LOWER LATS.
(I have seen Shawn Rhoden do V-raises often in his training videos & he has some of the complete Trap development)
Noted! Will try those v-raises. Also I love doing v-rows on an incline row. Today is back day again so let's give it a try.
Hey tech chief, is a V-raise the same as a pullover? And what is a hyper extension? Thank you
@@georgemorgan5 no it not a Pullover. Search V raises for lower Trap in youtube. Athlean X has a video on it.. Hyperextension is the most important exercise you can do in gym to stay injury free.
Rajesh Waran how do you perform hypertension
Probably the best body building tips I've seen

7:54 "Gravity is pulling the bar down, you have to pull it upwards." I'll try this tip out and let you know my results, coach! 🤣
Just in case anybody was wondering haha
I'm confused.....
this guys voice + his physique reminds me of like a greek god or something, i love this guy already
Time to grow! Wesley is very optimistic, loving it 💪🏼💯
Don't listen to her
@@cliffecliffe8358 🤣🤣🤣
Shape is their, just have to wait for muscle maturity to catch up and no way you can lose!

You don't get anymore classic than this guy my mind is boggled on how he doesn't place higher in his contests
You have sick development bro! don't be too harsh on yourself lol The thickness and those quad sweep plus hams need the most attention and we all see you doing the work!! Awesome motivation, thanks
When you hit the front double without the vacuum it looked very good and flexing down on your abs makes your waist look smaller imo.Keep it up man you're gonna be a top guy next year!
Might try hitting both next time. My waist does reduce in width quite a lot when crunching the abs in that particular pose.
Zoveel potentie, blijf doorgaan en je gaat sowieso een keer de top 3 halen van de olympia. Je outro laat wel zien dat je heel weinig glanst, amerika houd van veel olie als je op het podium staat heb ik het idee. Ik blijf je sowieso volgen, echt goede videos.
At this point if the judges dont see what we see in Wesley, I am concerned that they never will. Wesley ALREADY is THE classic physique imo.

Simply seek to get leaner and the hardened look will come with it.
@@bryanirzz Thanks bud. I'm cutting now, actually. I'll stick to it.
Man...You are crushing rear delts when doing that underhand bent over row. Gonna incorporate that exorcise into my back workout. Well done. Thanks!
Who else can’t wait to try this beast workout for back day?! 💪🏽😤
Love your channel also gone support your brand been falling u for about 2 years now man really sad I missed u at fibo last year and I just couldn’t make it this year good luck and keep it up bro

Wesley it good to see your workout videos I learn so much from them. Also, how important it is,, to be honest with yourself and go back to the gym and make corrections to improve.
Keep up the good work mate and people need to take notice of this it makes a lot of sense when your training all the best mate
Hopefully we'd get to see you on stage this olympia you against Cbum you guys are my two inspiration !
Underhand bent over row is what got Samir Bannout his excellent back, Dorian Yates the same (until he switched to more upright type) and definitely Phil Heath, whom has said countless times it's the exercise that got him the Olympia targeting the full lats.
Love your no quit... you cant hold me down attitude! You truly have been born 30 years to late!
Dude you're a gem. Keep pushing!!
Ready to hit the gym and my todays plan is to train “the back “ so thks for such a valuable information .. keep it up!!

Really great video Wes! Definitely should do more of different muscle parts workouts!

Fucking ultra wide, major props!! The standard of body building in general should look like this
Rear delts poppin! Something I’m currently working on myself.
Wesley: Could you actually show us what you're going to be keying on by way of a visual analysis of your stage photos from the Arnold Classic?
Nice idea. That'll be an upcoming video.
@@VintageGenetics Cool. On that subject, did you get any detailed feedback from the judges?
favorite youtubr channel
favorite athlete💪🏼👌🏼
Such an educational video !
I’d love to see what you can do with a bit heavier bulk this year! Sounds like a good plan
Bro keep it up I personally think you should try a competition like you are now you look so much bigger and still cut AF
Great fan of yours , please could you make a video with exercise and stretch . Help get rid or muscle spasms At lower back it would be very helpful .
You look like a god man. can’t spot any weak points. keep it up!!

1st of all thanks 4 this becoz today's is my back day
I searched about this n you upload 😃
Hahaha ik dacht serieus is deze man Nederlands? En toen zei je het. Goeie tips man! Ik voel me rug altijd heel lastig. Ga dit zeker vandaag proberen.
I heard from dorian yates that he started with a pullover to pre exhaust the lats. Works amazing for me! Maybe you can try it
Superb workout 👌👌👌
Looks like Wesley may have adopted some Dorian Yates principals🤔👏🏻
Loved it big man really helpful
I like so much your videos, you are the best
you are my motivation to workout when i feel lazy to go to the gym
yAP
It helped me to get my back exercise in action
Great video as always. Would like to see some cheat meals in future videos, because I think I have never seen wesley eat a pizza or any other fast food. 😂😂
just what i needed
Perfect timing! Chest and back today 🔥🔥
Heavy negatives to pull out and wake up those lower lat insertions,that way you are using gravity and the body's ability to hold more than it can pull
Thanks for excellent workout brother
Am I the only one that thinks he doesnt need anymore back thickness but he needs way way more back detail in the middle upper back?
Probably but he has never mentioned detail as a priority and imo it shows very much
I love your voice buddy👍🏼 you should do voiceovers
Love this, thanks Wesley 👍
Dnt 4get to get tht stretch at the bottom brotha. Get em! 👊
Thanks bro for the videos. Your Training style Really hElped get a more classic Physic. The Ladies Love it in Cancun, too
All what you need is the quality muscle and working on your abdominal and waist and that what you get when you work smart use cabel try to decrease the free wiaght as much as you can plus the dead lift that can just make you look bigger and that's not what you need you're already big enough for classic physics ,that my opinion with all respect champion
Good job Wess
Holy shit that back spread man. And your shoulders👍
Outstanding
Wesley je hebt echt goeie videos.
Never give up. The body mind and soul go hand in hand and are all gifts from God
Your voice is stunning man❤️
You look bigger and more shredded today then in the show.
I love this man 🌹

Hope to see you well conditioned with all these improvements at the olympia..
Hold the bar still at lowest bottom to activate low lats most or at all.
I mean hold closest the body still.
Massive chest and back bro u r looking good mate
