I was one of the skeptics, those who believed that it was impossible to be strong and hypertrophy through “high” explosive reps or that without bench press it was unlikely to develop a great pec.
A chimera… until one day I discovered Jesús Varela “Bilbo” on his YouTube channel and saw the biggest pectoral development of my life. In fact, I came to think that it could be prosthesis or an optical effect of the camera.
My name is José Antonio Sancho “Josean”, (1970), together with Carlos Campos, I prepare multiple natural bodybuilding competitors.

How I Incorporated the Bilbo Method into my Natural Bodybuilding Pectoral Training Routine
During this time we have achieved several world and Spanish championships and runner-ups, as well as many other outstanding positions both nationally and internationally. In many of our athletes we use the Bilbo system for pectoral work, both in the context of powerlifting and bodybuilding.
What led me to learn first hand about this method was an injury to my right shoulder, even though my technique was pretty good. “I decided to give it a try and see how this “light weight” thing worked. It wasn’t long before I became addicted to the Bilbo.
When I met Jesus personallyI found that there was little of imposture in what he transmitted in social networks. He really is a close and humble guy, eager to teach all the wisdom acquired during more than two decades perfecting a methodology and, of course, with a huge strength in his chest.
I tried his method for over a year and broke all my personal records.

Benefits of the Bilbo Method in Natural Bodybuilding. Analysis and results
We began to implement it in the routines of bodybuildersuntil we achieved something magical: to achieve the greatest possible impact of strength and growth with the least number of sets needed, allocating all that excess energy for the development of other muscle groups.

Understanding the “Bilbo System”, beyond the “Method”, was key.
In this process I had to banish my prejudices and even argue with those who had been my teachers, who argued, in a biased and interested way, that it could only work for its creator because it was a “rara avis”.
It was really a conflict of emotions as it came into opposition with his own knowledge, beliefs and economic interests, while Jesus, free of all dogma, taught it in his social networks.
For me the easiest thing has been to implement the Bilbo Method in Power building preparations , to do it with amateurs on foot, it is one of the best tools for strength acquisition with a lower degree to injury than high loads.
With competitive bodybuilders is where we have needed to understand the System the most and it has taken several years of implementation by both the Master Coaches and the competitors themselves to get the performance we wanted, something that …. we are still optimizing.
