Exercise Scientist Critiques Hany Rambod: The Greatest Bodybuilding Coach Ever?

Training Session Introduction00:02

Hany Rambod coaches the Tren Twins through an intense chest workout. The session includes chest flies with cues to drive higher and perform partials at the hardest part of the movement. The Tren Twins demonstrate explosive concentric movements from the bottom position with full range of motion and eccentric control.

Chest Fly Technique Analysis02:00

Two distinct fly techniques exist on a spectrum. One involves significant elbow bend with hands or arms at approximately 90° angle, which takes biceps out of the movement and focuses heavily on chest. The other uses completely straight arms, which massively involves biceps through stretch under tension at the bottom position but requires substantially less weight. Most people should choose something between the extremes, such as a 10° or 20° offset bend, and experiment to determine which works best for individual biomechanics.

Eccentric Training Discussion03:30

The Tren Twins acknowledge they don't typically perform eccentric training. Dr. Mike notes that slowing down the eccentric component represents a major opportunity for improvement in their training approach.

Rear Delt Training Priority04:00

Hany identifies rear delts as a weak point for the Tren Twins and emphasizes that weak body parts should be trained at the beginning of workouts rather than dead last. This applies the same principle as training weak calves first in a session. Many competitors claim to prioritize certain muscle groups but continue training them in their usual position, which is often last in the workout.
