The internet is a weird place where almost anything can happen. With millions of videos circling around the web – you can bet that any random thing you imagine is probably out there somewhere. Case in point, this random video of a bodybuilder getting shot 1,000 times by paintball guns. If you are at all curious about what that looks like – check it out above.
While building up the abs, back, and chest is an absolute priority for having an impeccable upper body, it can’t be denied that other elements are needed to round out a strong frame. In particular, if a bodybuilder really wants to look the part then there’s no doubt that building up the shoulders should be a top priority.
Shoulder training offers that illusion of size by essential building a larger frame from shoulder to shoulder. But while there are some pretty basic ways to train the shoulders, you’re going to want the most scientific method of building up these muscles for the best gains.
In the video, Jeff Nippard explains the science behind shoulder training and offers detailed insight into how you can get boulder shoulders with specific focus.
What do you think of Jeff Nippard’s shoulder training advice?

Bodybuilding has always been about dedication at the end of the day. Simply lifting some weight from time to time isn’t enough to bring about massive change. You must have that kind of obsessive passion that pushes you to the brink. Besides dedication to the craft however is the distinct genetic advantage that can’t be faked or replicated. The only way to get those distinct physical advantages is having the good fortune to have good genetic capability passed down from our parents. For many professional bodybuilders this seems to be the exact scenario. The case of Lee Priest highlights this fact perfectly.
Once one of the greatest bodybuilding talents in the world, Lee Priest has since retired from professional competition and has become something of a fitness personality. Reading questions and giving often times brutal and truthful answers, Lee Priest seems to be known more for his outspoken nature than his bodybuilding ability nowadays. But Lee Priest was an absolute beast in his day with some superior genetics.
While most of us know little of Lee Priest in regards to his parentage, it was clear since day one that he possessed some truly remarkable genetics. Rather than speculate on that notion as has been the case for years now, we apparently have some hard evidence on the matter. Lee Priest recently posted about his father who apparently was a bodybuilder and from the looks of things, the older man is still in some amazing condition at age 71.
What do you think of Lee Priest and his impressive father?

IRON CINEMA – Every Monday we connect you with Generation Iron director Vlad Yudin. Get a first hand look at the entire journey of the bodybuilding industry – ranging from athlete interviews, behind-the-scene looks at major events, and insight into the Generation Iron Fitness Network‘s original shows and films.
What I respect most about Luimarco is his complete DIY tactics that eventually led to him being one of the bigger bodybuilding YouTube stars. Unlike famous YouTube bodybuilders such as Rich Piana or Bostin Loyd – Luimarco doesn’t showcase a massive physique to attract the masses. Instead his knowledge and words have led him to a sort of bodybuilding fame on the internet. Often known for being brutally honest (and somehow not cocky) – Luimarco’s channel is the undisputed place to go for straight shooting advice in an industry full of politics and dodging questions. In many ways he helped bring attention to the “bubble gut” issue that eventually Arnold Schwarzenegger spoke on – and he always found a way to quite accurately predict the outcome of major bodybuilding events.
It has been far too long without our paths crossing – so I wanted to make sure to meet and interview this bodybuilding YouTube star who literally started from scratch. Now he claims he might be retiring from posting his YouTube videos… get the full details in our interview above.
