For the very few of you that don't know them yet, Joe Bennet (@hypertrophycoach) and Ben pakulski, along with Josh Vogel and others, are a team of pro bodybuilders based at mi40 gym, highly specialised in the science of hypertrophy training.
Their training style could be defined a little "unorthodox", for it is exclusively based on the principles of muscle activation, joint alignment and stacking, tension and mind muscle connection, concentric pauses, strength curves, along with occasional eccentric focused training (and you can see this by looking at ben's programs like mi40-x). It's kinda similar to how Julian Smith trains.
In short, their training isn't as based on intensity/traditional exercises/progressive overload as, for example, 3dmj or what is considered the norm in the natural bodybuilding community, but much more on activation, tension and mind muscle connection. They also are obviously enhanced athletes (and are very open about their usage for the main part)
Nonetheless, I greatly respect Ben pakulski as an individual, I find his podcast (muscle expert) amazing, he is an overall no bullshit, extremely dedicated guy, and his advice sounds solid to me.
My mainly concern is: while this training style is obviously suited for enhanced athletes, does it apply for natural bodybuilders? Should I drop intensity like they preach and focus solely on a mi40 type of training?
