Episode 28: Old-School Training Wisdom From Julian "The Quad Guy" Smith

He's a highly popular trainer and bodybuilder who also happens to have one of the most impressive sets of wheels out there. But Julian Smith doesn't keep his training secret! He shares plenty that you can use right away in this in-depth conversation. Highlights: - His history as a bodybuilder, and as a student of bodybuilding - How equipment availability drove him to innovate - How 195 pounds looks and feels different 12 years apart - How Tom Platz inspired him, and what he learned from the Golden Eagle. - His other favorite pro bodybuilders, and why he stopped trying to mimic them - Is muscle cool in Portland? Not quite yet, unfortunately. - Why he loves the Smith machine (it's not just because of the name) - How he thinks through what load to choose - The art of slow negatives, and the mindset that goes along with them - What you absolutely need to do on your last rep of bench press and squats (you'll need a spotter or safeties!) - The secret of his leg development: isometric contractions - His horrible first show prep - How he navigates eating at restaurants while staying conscious of his macros - "All I eat is Rice Krispies treats. You heard it here." - The magic of heel elevation for squats--and some unique ways he does it - How he trains right now, on a two-week rotation - How much he plans out his workouts beforehand - The mind-muscle connection: Why it's the be-all and end-all, and how he finds it - Why he almost always squats at the end of a leg workout - "I tell people this all the time. Bodybuilding is one injury away from never doing it again. I want to do this as long as I can." Be sure to follow us on social media for daily fitness updates!
