what's going everybody big Ron here got my boy Cory Matthews
just flew in from Dallas muscle & strength headquarters gonna train some
legs do some quads and hamstrings so yeah I want to follow along come on
let's do this so first of all going start off with
some leg extensions try to do like five six sets get really good and warmed up
before we get into our workout I like to start out with like 30 reps so we probably
start out 30 good reps we'll pyramid as we go along but we're gonna
start out first doing uh I like to start out individually so you know I get my
legs individually warmed up that make make sure I get the left one warmed up as
good as the right one so I I do the individual I probably do like three sets
individual then I do another three sets doing doing them together
I always trained everything the same you know year-round so I'd be doing this in the
off season the same way even when I'm uh getting ready for a show I train heavy
all the way up to the show till I can't go heavy no more that's normally like the
last week or two we used to talk so bad about Cory sometimes I feel sorry for him what
we call initiation though at least he hung in there everybody else quit see they had a
group then nobody was able to work out with them
for 20-some years yep everybody would come and hang om there for about
four four three three four weeks and if I talking bad about them and talking bad
to them didnt run them off doing the workout wouid people give up you know
now all of them call me their baby brother
now it's time to get to the real workout
now time to do squats got em all do good and pumped now it's time to
put some size on them we do our squats we do competition style squats this is
the way I was taught when I first got into weightlifting I started out with powerlifting
I didnt know what bodybuilding was way they taught me was to go
all the way below parallel because in meets if you didn't go below parallel
they gave you to red light so once I adopted that form
I kept it me how long it took me to get back into the gym took about four
weeks double hip replacement both of them doctor had him on house arrest he
was sneaking out going to the gym the week after surgery yep the first one the
first one I was in there the next week but the second I I gave a little
bit more time oh that's what I love doing that's my hobby yeah and uh kind
of like makes a makes the day a better day for me when they say it's a
lifestyle that's what this is it's the lifestyle yeah so there ya
a little bit cool out
here but this will warm you up we're doing some walking lunges now
what I try to do is uh I try to walk the length of a football field I have to
do it in two reps and we would do is that 25 down and 25 back gonna be
farther than 50 yards though this is working the glutes most it's mostly our glutes
when I do this but of course hamstring get in there
the quad get in there but for the most part I'm trying to isolate on my glutes but
it kind of like it kind like pumps the whole leg though
hmm I don't know if it's cold or not I
just know my legs are hurt
and this the difference right here come on you got it
think uh hundred pound gorilla jumped on my back
half way there on the way back man
yeah we do second move that's what it was I knew
it something yeah me too I didn't either
ain't never quit though aint about to start man that
was rough now we doing hamstrings I've always done quads and hams
together cause like I've said working full-time at the police department ain't had
time to break all this stuff up so I had to do all this stuff together so
once I retired still did the same way so I always do quads first and finished off
with the two sets of two exercise of hamstrings
four sets each got these 20 year olds and 25 year old guys and they want to be a
part of the sport you know they come in it want to work out man my big brother be over there
just outdoing everybody he'll tell them hey you didn't do enough reps oh I'm watching you
they stopped at five eight ten reps Ronnie will say hey we've been doing 20-25 reps
keeping that the tension on the muscle that's how you make them grow
keeping that tension on me every muscle group even on a chest press when we lock your arms out
that's nothing going on right there all that pressure that you putting on going in
elbow your shoulder and even your tricep
we could've did a better workout if I had some sleep though a dang sure would've put
on them lunges that was the hardest thing ever I didn't quit but I wanted to
just wrapped up quad hamstring workout with my boy Cory here he is three weeks out
from the Arnold classic his first Arnold classic in the 212 class and you
saw you just got to doing some walking lunges out in the thirty degrees heat
when I say heat just that's how it felt to me it was hot outside anyway uh
that's how we do it hard workout had a little fun wrapping it up muscle & strength headquarters
now it's time to get our grub on yeah buddy
my meals are a little bit different from everybody else in the fact that I don't
know when I was trained I weighed and I measured everything I ate and had a scale so
every meal I weighed out like whatever I was eating 14 16 ounces or whatever my carbs
were well same thing I weighed and measured everything all the carbs that
I ate too but I only thing I didn't do was count calories all I counted was protein
and carbs I'd be taking 600 grams protein a day with shakes and maybe
about 100 my grams of carbs and it was the hardest diet in the world
it was hard because I was taking in maybe a hundred grams of carbs and I burned
that hundred grams up doing my first session of cardio the rest of the day I'm on the
adrenaline and sheer desire motivation and passion
