Van Gelder Training

Nothing wrong with his scalpulas

Now it´s pretty clear to me that Gymnastics won´t give you any hipertrophy at all.... :twisted:

Nice!

You can see some pretty crazy upper trap fibers bulging out about halfway through in part of his planche to HS pressing

No, man. He gets his hypertrophy from the weights he was lifting

j/k

Yep that series of maltese to planche and down, for reps were only a warm up for the dumbells! :wink:

check that out,

this is how he does warm up

Seriously.. I think the hypertrophy seems slower & lesser, but on close observation I noticed. His biceps & shoulders are DIFFERENT. .. They are more DENSE & ROUND'ed and appear FLEXED even when unflexed.

That's absolutely amazing. One day.....

I'm glad to see that Yuri still gets some love

It's rediculous that people use his coke abuse to reject him as a good sportsman. had he done enhancing drugs it still wouldn't take anything away from him as a dedicated and fantastic sportsman. But again armchair critizism is sport itself.

look from the 2nd minute

yuri van gelder does victorian:

also check this out:

That picture is from a competition and I dont think Van Gelder ever did a victorian in his routine. Looks more like a transfer movement, I would guess, backwards. His hands even look slightly relaxed which is natural if he is moving. Compare his hands to the crazy grip Rodrigues has when he does it.

Handbalancer is right. The picture was taken just when he drops out from planche or maltese to inverted hand and then perfom an azarian roll to cross.

HOW ABOUT THIS?

Haha. Check out the 'Victorian Progress' thread under ring strength. That photo is discussed there.

Hey, do you guys think yuri trains for hypertrophy? Because his size is above average by far, ive never seen a gymnast with so many muscle

He trains for strength and function, hypertrophy is a byproduct.

Yuri is a rings specialist. His size is impressive but not freakish for someone competing at his level. If you watch the finals from London, many of the competitors are of a similar size:
