    Depends, some people can grow off just tons of volume with moderate weight. There's no absolute, genetics play too big of a role. That being said, I would never watch these guys for advice. I listened to some stuff they were saying about prohormones and couldn't stop laughing.

    I have watched loads of those guys' videos and i use to think they knew there stuff.

    Guess what when they were 19 or 20 they experimented with pro hormones. ALso they use to be in the marines. Thus thats a reason why they are in great shape. Plus they are around 35 years of age. I looked at the before picture when they use to never lift weights seriously, this happened just after the marines. You know what, there before pictures weren't to shabby.

    I disagrew with alot of what they say. You need to lift heavy to grow, they don't think very much.

    They don't deadlift nor do they squat. One of them can't squat because of a back injury. But the other one choses not to do either. Both of them don't deadlift or squat. This ends my thoughts about them.

    I do not believe you have to lift heavy to get big/strong. Except for select exercises, I use anywhere from 20 to 30 reps and sometimes more.

    Depends on what one's definition of 'heavy' is. If you only trained with 10-15 reps, assuming this doesn't qualify as heavy, (well I don't think it does), then of course you could pack on some size, but by not doing low reps you're limiting yourself by not training all of the muscle fibres worth training for size.

    Best thing to do is mix things up...Try working up to a couple of heavy sets, then drop the weight and do 5x10 or something...Simple stupid = Results.

    I have always trained for strength and I have steadily been getting bigger and bigger each year, all while my lifts are sky-rocketing each year. I don't understand how people can just go to the gym and rep sht out but not want to move the most amount of weight you can and then try and beat it in the next few weeks...I get huge satisfaction in getting PRs in my training.
    Strength is more useful than weakness.

    This topic is always discussed in extremes and absolutes. Even these guys say you need a decent amount of strength to put on size. What they say is true, if you're benching between 160-200 15-20 reps you're going to be significantly larger than someone like myself who probably can't do 100, and you'll probably be 'impressive.'

    The problem on their side is that 'big' comes in many sizes, there's big, there's ripped, and then there's pro body builder big and it depends on your goals whether moderate weight is enough to get you the results you want.

    The other problem on the opposite side is always "Yeah well you'll never get big lifting 5 lb.s thousands of times!" If the pro-lightweight high volume side says yeah you can, then I invite them to prove it, but like in this video, they never made outlandish claims like that.

    Well I think what they mean is that you can stay in a high rep range around 10-12 reps and get just as big as if you lifted really heavy. If your adding weight then you should have no problem getting big. Muscles know failure it doesn't matter if it's 225 to failure or 300. If you bench 225 10 times it's the same as doing 265 5 times. Both are failure and lifting those weights until you can't anymore. Both 225x10 and 265x5 = 300lb bench maxes. Why ruin your joints? If it doesn't hurt now it will later.

    Like they said if you lift heavy alot your always gonna want to beat your record and one day when you have 400+ on there some **** is gonna get snapped up!

    These twins certainly aren't big by my estimation. You lift like them if you want, but my money's on applying weight to the bar.

    That's kind of the point. Your going to have a hard time finding bodybuilders that don't lift heavy. When you do find them they aren't really bodybuilders because they don't make much progress. The guy I mentioned must of had some serious training to pull off the feats he did. If you could get big without lifting heavy then he would have some size to him but look at the records he holds and look at his size. It made sense to me .

    225 lbs for benching is not light, at least for me because after 10 years of lifting I can't bench 225 even for 1 rep. I can stop the bar from coming down but I can't move it up more than an inch and the spotter has to help me get it up the rest of the way. I beleive I can bench my bodyweight 20 times or at least get close to it but I mostly use hammer strength machines or dumbbells for benching and never trained consistently with barbell benching due to not having a spotter and when I do get a spotter sometimes I get a spotter that does a bad job spotting me. If benching 225 lbs is light enough for a particular person to be able to do high reps with that weight then mostly likely they are huge.

    I think I know what I"m doing wrong. I don't train consistently on the barbell bench press and once in a while I might do barbell benching just to see where my performance is at in that exercise and sometimes even stick with it for 3 weeks and then leave barball benching for many months and use dumbbells and machines for my chest.

    Not necessarily, but i do see your point.

    There are heaps of people that can throw around 225x8-10 reps and are not huge. Not sure if you heard of music man on here but he can throw up 225x8 but is only small at 5'10 165

    8-10 reps is not high reps. I'm talking about going over 12 reps. Also at the gym anyone that I see benching 225+ for reps has good size. However, I do know that there are people that are strong for their size.

I looked at the before picture when they use to never lift weights seriously, this happened just after the marines. You know what, there before pictures weren't to shabby.

    I disagrew with alot of what they say. You need to lift heavy to grow, they don't think very much.

    They don't deadlift nor do they squat. One of them can't squat because of a back injury. But the other one choses not to do either. Both of them don't deadlift or squat. This ends my thoughts about them.
    Get your information right. They BOTH have rather severe back injuries. Of course they aren't going to deadlift or squat. Not that those exercises are necessary--leg press works for them.

    And their "before" pictures look like ****. They were skinny-fat and could get 4 reps with 135 on the bench. At 6'1" (or however tall they are), it doesn't get much worse than that.

    how can this come up so often...

    There is a direct 100% proven correlation between lifting heavy and size gainz.....IF said trainee is eating enough calories.

    Size is manipulated by food
    Strength is manipulated by training style

    doesnt matter wat u say or do...size gains are only gonna occur if u are in positive calorie surplus...no amt of reps and weight is ever gonna change that.

    they look black to me.
    therefore, no, they don't have to lift heavy.
