Back to Fitness Park Montpellier for an interview and training of a physical Men's competitor who is trying to win his pro card.
Everyone knows how much harder it is to train when you are tall. But nothing is impossible!
I present here a training with the biggest physical Men's of France. Steve San MartinHe is 1.97m tall and yet has a harmonious physique and a great slim waist. He shows us that when we set goals and have constraints, we can adapt our training by finding solutions to achieve them.
Bodybuilding for tall people: How to do it?
With each exercise, he will adapt to the machines as you can see in this video. He will find techniques to do the exercises according to his size.
As much as it will be easy for him to do the exercises with free weights, with the machines, it will start to be a headache. Fortunately, with the years of practice in bodybuilding that Steve has acquired, it will be easy for him to overcome his difficulties because today these are habits that he has taken.
His difficulties...
Everyone has different proportions in relation to their size, with shorter or shorter muscles, different segments. A tall person will not train with the same amplitude as a short person. For the same result and good symmetry, a tall person will need more effort, more work.
In this workout, we look back at his competitive journey and his early days in weight training to the present day. Steve talks about his training, diet, and cardio when preparing for a competition to lose as much fat as possible while limiting muscle loss.
Following this interview we continue on a training session intense weight training for the pectoral muscles and biceps. We go through the exercises taking into account my recent back problems. Steve and I will focus on seated exercises on a bench and machine, not easy to train with a hard corset. We finish with a little conclusion and Steve tells us about his short, medium and long term goals with the desire to win his card one day Pro IFBB.
