In a recent post on social media, bodybuilding coach Joe Bennett shed light on two pivotal training techniques that propelled Coleman to his eight Mr. Olympia titles. Among these, progressive overload played a crucial role, enabling Coleman to not only develop immense muscle mass but also achieve remarkable strength. Bennett explains that Coleman adhered to the principle of progressive overload by maintaining the same exercises for extended periods. This consistency allowed him to gradually increase the weight lifted in each session, week after week. Beyond merely focusing on lifting heavier weights, Coleman paid special attention to the most challenging parts of a lift's range of motion. For instance, during the barbell incline bench press, he concentrated on the phase where the arms are parallel to the ground or slightly below â where torque and tension reach their peak. Joe Bennett offers an in-depth analysis of these techniques and discusses the scientific backing behind their effectiveness. [Lift Like Ronnie]( TRAINING TIPS âThe Shadowâ vs. Science Credit: @TheDorianYates / Instagram The significance of a well-developed back cannot be overstated in the competitive world of bodybuilding. And among the plethora of exercises aimed at enhancing back strength, the lat pulldown stands out as a cornerstone. Dorian Yates, a six-time Mr. Olympia celebrated for having one of the most impressive backs in the history of Open bodybuilding, shared his preferred exercises for back development. Perhaps more importantly, he singled out one specific variation of the lat pulldown as an absolute âwaste of time.â Yates argues against the wide-grip lat pulldown, suggesting that its broader grip limits both the range of motion and the activation of the lat muscles while also diminishing the engagement of the biceps. He advocates for the narrow-grip variation, positing that it offers superior effectiveness. This claim rests on the premise that altering grip width during lat pulldowns can significantly impact which muscles are engaged. The question then arises: does scientific evidence support Yates' preference for the narrow grip variation over its wide grip counterpart in terms of efficiency? Read on to discover the answer.
