IFBB Pro Dallas McCarver and Redcon1 Head Trainer Joe Bennett take us through a grueling workout on this back training video. We really get to see what it takes to be one of the best bodybuilders in the world with this footage. The guys start off with a ridiculously heavy set of Underhand Bent Over Rows. Dallas works his way up to 405lb with perfect form on each rep. Joe follows suit with bent over rows and bangs out an equally clean set of reps using 315lb. After that, they went into Rack Pulls, T-Bar Rows with varying grips, both narrow and wide. From there it was time for Hammer Strength Single Arm Rows. They did drops sets while standing upright instead of sitting on the bench fixed to the machine. To finish the brutal session Dallas hit a few sets of Angle Pull Ups. This training session was not for the faint of heart. If you try and do this one yourself be prepared to be sore for the next week!
Road to the Arnold Classic
This is the first in a series of in-depth videos sounding Dallas McCarver’s contest prep for the Arnold Classic. At this point we are a little more than 10 weeks out, and Dallas is sitting at an incredible 330lbs. Dallas has also begun this journey with a new coach in his corner.
After much deliberation he opted to enlist the services of famous contest prep coach, Chad Nichols, the same man who helped Ronnie Coleman collect his 8 Mr. Olympia titles and Sandow trophies! Join us as we chronicle Dallas’ road to the Arnold in more detail than ever seen before. The good, the bad, personal moments, and much more will be captured and available for you three times per week! www.redcon1.com

I’m really looking forward to going back down and finishing out prep with Dallas on Saturday. Part of us being a team is being together so I’ve missed that part of prep the past 9 days. Jordan and I will be down Saturday and it will be hands on the rest of the way!
