Amit Sapir Prep for Detroit Pro

[Amit Sapir]

Hey guys

Going to post all my pics, vids, training here now.

Sexxxton captured some video and a pic tonight, as I did chest/tri's.

I am going to be practicing all the events at the proper weight for the O strongman.

Tonight I practiced 1.5x bodyweight bench. Unfortunately Sexxxton ****ed up the film! It is jumping but I did manage 13 reps, which I am happy with in such a depleted state.

Tomorrow we hope to capture some good film for Military Press @ 1.5x bodyweight and then Sunday is a big one, 2x bodyweight squats, which will be 400 lbs for max reps. I am hoping to do more than 13!

After bench tonight:

And the jumpy bench vid that looks like it was shopped (but why would I shop something to show LESS reps? lol):

lookin good homes

[Amit Sapir]

Hey guys, worked on 1.5x body weight military press (in the f****** smith machine!). Didn't get a good video so scrapped posting it.



Thanks for your support!

Sexxxton finally got some quality footage. I practiced today for Olympia strongman, 2x bodyweight squat for reps (405 lbs, 15 reps). I am pretty pleased, given I`m totally depleted at 4-5% bodyfat.

[Amit Sapir]

Nothing crazy today, I was pretty exhausted. Back width day. T-Bar Row featured here

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oBjW5hQ-9Zc

[Amit Sapir]

Today was chest, and I decided to prep again for the Olympia lb-for-lb strongest bodybuilder: did 1.5x bodyweight bench for reps (300 lbs x 12). Did 13 last week. But I'm really happy given that I'm almost totally depleted (50g carbs here).

Video is weak.

so as we speak your around 202lbs?

[Amit Sapir]

YES,198 to be extact

[tiramisu]

If you are going to give the pound for pound comp a try you might want to get some benching lesson from a powerlifter. You can likely get your chest an awful lot higher and your shoulders lower to reduce the travel distance of the bar dramatically. More reps :)

Thanks for posting this stuff it's cool to watch.

[bigtavi8]

Man good form on that bench if u ask me. Nice slow controlled reps with that much weight is definitly impressive. Yah i know you sed u used to be into Olympic lifting but that base really is going to help you in the strongest BB comp. I hope you do well and i want to see if i can make it to the Detroit show that would be sick!

Heres info on the Detroit Pro if anyone lives in the border cities and is interested. I am def considering it because its close to home and gonna be a good show it looks like!

Thanks bro! I hope so. Feeling ****ing awful right now. I am worried @ the O that some guys are not going to do proper reps. But I can't control that.

If you come to Detroit, say hi bro!

[Amit Sapir]

Well tonight was fun. Did practice for O strongman: 2x bodyweight deads for max reps. Put up 405 for 19. I feel good, given I had only 120g carbs today.

[Amit Sapir]

3 Weeks out, soon will lean out totally and then suck water. Can't wait to fill in for the show!

Did a little arm video today hope to share with you guys soon.

[bigtavi8]

Sick lats bro. You have high lat insertions like me but seeing ur level of development is an inspiraion. I no one day i can have wings that wide cuz i have similar genetic structure. Good vascularity and i dont see any spots ur holding fat/water even low back, low abs very close! Fight the cravings bro and stay stay strong!

[MuSuLPhReAk]

Those are not lats, they are wings.

[brandt]

Nice work Amit, impressive!

[Amit Sapir]

Thanks so much guys! Getting great support here, psyched up!

2 Weeks to go. 120g carbs these days. Last cheat meal is today then clean all the way to Detroit! Monday / Tuesday will be my last leg training and deadlifting.

Wish me luck!

[massabsamurai]

damn! best of luck bro

[z83]

Those are not lats, they are wings.

freak !

[Amit Sapir]

Thanks! Got a vid of me benching 300lb for reps:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=050wwgPZHQM

[z83]

i'm curious about your back widht exercices. You have different back day ?

[4031]

very good bro! thanks for posting up all your progress pics! Good luck!

[Amit Sapir]

i'm curious about your back widht exercices. You have different back day ?

Yup, one day back width, one day thickness.

The mainstay for me are weighted pullups. I will start with this movement and do 10, 8, 6, 4, 2 reps, while adding weight each time.

Then I will usually do old school T-Bar rows with the cg v-handle. Then lat pulldowns. And perhaps one other movement. Then I will do some biceps.

On thickness day, basically just deadlifts, then barbell rows. Then hamstrings.

[Amit Sapir]

Well this is it. One week to go, and not much to do but expel water and hope for the best! Do my best @ Detroit, represent my new country; and if it doesn't go well, at least I have the Olympia lb-for-lb strongman to look forward to!

[bigtavi8]

Looking ridiculous. What do u mean you wont do good bro. Dam man ur prep is treating u well. Looking sliced and hoping the show goes well for ya. Whether or not u take #1 u no ur cond/size is the best it could be + your a strong Mofo and r gonna take a bite out of the strongman part.

[Andre Gregoire]

Look great, good luck buddy!

[Amit Sapir]

Hey guys, thanks so much for the positive words and support! Unfortunately things did not go as well as I'd hoped. Most people had me about 8th/9th, but I ended up 15th. Not at all what I'd expected, but, as they say, it's not whether you get knocked down in life, it's whether you get back up again!

I am now in Las Vegas prepping for the lb-for-lb strongman. My plan after that is to hit Sacramento and try to get an early qualification for the 2011 'O'.

I have my pics up on a lot of sites, but, by far, I got my best support here. Soon I will have my Canadian citizenship and will be able to represent Canada. Thanks again!

[Delt King]

You came in peeled and ready. The difference between 6 and 16th is very minimal. I thought you would've place higher as well though.

Thanks bro. I don't know about you, but I always learn something from every contest, win or lose.

I think this was a poorly judged contest, however. There were a few guys that should've been a lot higher. And I think Daryl clearly had 1st.

[Sandwiches]

if i can just say some constructive criticism, you are a little top heavy.. work on that, you will do some serious damage

[MuSuLPhReAk]

Amit was banned from competing in the pound 4 pound challenge :( It seems the other competitors didn't want him to compete.

What a bummer this must be for you Amit. I know you're in vegas right now. Official answer by Robin Chang to why below.


He is the promoter/organizer of this competition and said because the competition registration was "closed" earlier this week and Amits contracts weren't signed... Because he was doing his competition in Detroit he had to get approval from the other athletes in order to get permission for him to be entered to compete. All of the current competitors decided that they don't want him in the competition so he is in vegas now ready to compete and was shot down just moments ago.

[Delt King]

Seriously? WTF bunch of scared bodybuilders. CRazy.:mad:

[Amit Sapir]

Yeah guys, I wasted a lot of money. I learned some things, not just about prep, but about politics...the hard way. It was difficult for me to watch some guys put up numbers I know I could beat. But I'm revitalized for the Sacramento show, and am beginning my diet again today. I'll try to get some new pictures up soon.

Thanks again for the support.

[bigtavi8]

WTF im so angry right now. U got ****ed 2 times bro. First that judging was a joke then u prepare for the strongman and they dont let u compete. Im honestly shocked by the way they handled that after u went all the way to vegas. Screw the politics and keep ur head up bro this is a really tough break.

[Andre Gregoire]

That's too bad man. By the way, good interview on Rxmuscle's Off Topic Radio. You should post a link here so those that missed it can listen.

[Sexxxton]

Hey guys I'm posting some stuff for Amit while he's away. He thanks you for the kind comments and support. I've seen some pics and he looks deadly for Sacramento!
