In this fast-paced world where everyone relies on science, many bodybuilders like Jeff Nippard and Dr. Mike Israetel are using cutting-edge knowledge to take their gains to the next level. But what if the 43-year-old IFBB Pro bodybuilder Marc Lobliner thinks the complete opposite?

Lobliner recently uploaded a video on his YouTube channel, “Tiger Fitness,” addressing a major concern in the bodybuilding industry. The IFBB Pro titled the video “Science Has Destroyed Newbie Gains.” Let’s take a deep look at the matter of why Lobliner is against teenagers doing scientific bodybuilding.

Can unilateral exercise affect your gains?

The 43-year-old compared the youngster’s training method with his traditional training. Lobliner highlighted that he used to lift heavy, do as many reps as possible, and spend a long time in the gym. On the other hand, these newbies in the gym are “doing too much science sh*t.” He then shed light on the fact that these kids try to do more and more unilateral exercises.

Lobliner gave an example of the hammer-strength incline press he did with full power and took it to failure. But the kids beside him did “squeak squeak squeak squeak squeak.” Continuing, he explained, “Look man, I understand when you are an advanced trainee; maybe you’re competing for the Olympia; even then, you don’t see Dereck Lunsford sitting doing weird stuff.”

According to the 43-year-old IFBB Pro, “intense training builds big, hard muscles, period.” He called out biomechanics experts for misleading the kids into doing “weak-a*s reps.” Lobliner even mentioned, “Go heavy, go hard.” As the IFBB Pro emphasizes the importance of lifting heavy and doing strength training, let’s take a look at the potential benefits of lifting heavy.

Lifting heavy can make your cardiovascular system work smoothly

There are numerous benefits when it comes to lifting heavy weights. It increases your overall strength and makes you stronger. Going for an intense workout burns more calories and helps you lose unwanted fat at a much faster rate. Along with these, lifting heavy also strengthens your bones, making your balance and coordination of your body to the point.

High-intensity workouts help you build endurance, increasing your stamina. Strength training decreases your chances of fall injuries in old age. HIT helps you support your body much better than others. Lifting heavy weights improves your heart health by decreasing your blood pressure and improving blood circulation while strengthening your blood vessels. 

Doing anything excessively has its drawbacks.  Even going berserk and lifting heavy loads has its disadvantages. Everything within the right limit must be targeted. What do you think of this situation? Let us know in the comments.
