Love your videos. I'm over 50 and battling the years of joint abuse, it's so good to find helpful information as I transition into the next 50 years of lifting. You're both an inspiration.
Love how Doug never lost his passion for the sport, visionary individual if there ever was one... (Edit: Can't leave Ric hanging, he is one cool cat and that's an understatement)
Great to see Doug on YouTube, I was a member of his gym in Pasadena California in the mid-1980s, he was a great source of knowledge then and was always willing to share his knowledge with the members of the gym.Kudos to you and Doug!
Thanks Ric for yet another fantastic video (they are all great). I'm 43 years old and have been a Personal Trainer for about 15-20 yrs. It's of great comfort to watch videos like this and know that the advice that I have been giving over the years is correct.
Doug Brignole seems like a great guy. His approach to bodybuilding is much like my own. Though there are many ways to approach bodybuilding, as we get older we make adjustments.
Watching these videos, it's great to see that most of us, after many years of training, are on the same page. Cheers.
Great info Ric1 I purchased Doug's book The Physics of Fitness and it is fantastic! It is so well written and makes so much logical sense that I am amazed how misinformed I have been. I can say it is worth far more that the $50. Ii am 59 years young and back to the gym for almost 2 years after 20 years off. And can honestly say that this book has made my workouts so much better and enjoyable because I am not in near the pain I was because I was doing so many things that were a waste of effort. I now know that I am getting so much more out of my effort. Great job Doug! Keep up the great work Ric!!
Doug is an interesting interview, it's great when you have him on. His views on light weight and very high reps as well as higher carbs are interesting and they clearly work for him. Low Carb with refeeds (the anabolic diet) works much better for me. A great interview, have him on again. I watch the Doug and Jerry episodes multiple time since they go through so much info in such a sort time.
