Buendia is injured however not absent from the gymnasium.
Final up to date on July twenty third, 2024
4-time Males’s Physique Olympia champion Jeremy Buendia pulled out of the 2024 Olympia, scheduled for Oct. 10-13 in Las Vegas, NV, after struggling two back-to-back Achilles tendon ruptures. Nevertheless, he nonetheless hits the gymnasium whereas sporting a forged, specializing in upper-body improvement for the 2025 season.
In a video printed on YouTube on July 16, 2024, Buendia shared his prime three methods for constructing a wider and thicker again, contributing to his coveted V-taper aesthetic.

Slender Grip Lat Pulldowns
Buendia favors an in depth underhand grip on pulldowns, retaining his elbows tight to his torso throughout concentrics, leading to sharper lat contractions. He employs sluggish, managed eccentrics and pauses within the absolutely stretched place to maximise the time beneath pressure (TUT). (1) Extra TUT promotes hypertrophy, a typical objective in an extended low season for elite bodybuilders.
Prime Set, Drop Set
Buendia finishes every again train with a drop set to make sure muscle exhaustion.
I do again down units after heavy units and concentrate on full vary of movement and muscle contractions.
A medical trial printed in The Journal of Sports activities Drugs and Bodily Health concluded that a single drop set might result in superior muscle features in comparison with three units of standard resistance coaching, probably because of the larger muscular stress. (2)
Leverage Compound Workouts & Progressive Overload
Compound workouts like pull-ups, bent-over rows, and deadlifts have interaction a number of muscle teams concurrently, selling extra environment friendly muscle progress and energy features. Progressive overload includes progressively growing weight, reps, units, or frequency. Greater coaching quantity can higher guarantee constant muscle stimulus and energy diversifications. (3)
Buendia believes he achieved his career-best physique when he lifted comparatively heavy, together with bent-over rows with 315 kilos, stiff leg deadlifts with 385 kilos, conventional deadlifts with 405 kilos, and squats with 405 kilos.
“Coaching heavy works,” Buendia mentioned. “You need to put your muscle tissues beneath a certain quantity of stress for it to develop.”
