elitefts love the videos, especially the Ed Coan. Just a thought for some content. The difference between raw and geared, cues and form. Bench and squat for sure would probably be eye opening for some. I’ve seen some of the geared sit back , back, back cues coached to raw lifters. I think showing that different muscles and form should possibly be used based on the style would be helpful. Just my two cents. Thanks for all you do, I love my New Yoke Bar!

fuck thats hilarous!

yes sir

Loving the videos

Fake News, he definitely did lol

I hear ya! But remember Arnold used to train barefoot all the time--granted it was the 70's and it was Arnold...

Yeah, hell no. People be walking around the locker room barefoot at the commercial gym I go to, even in the showers!

There are no shoes as good as your bare feet for strength training

Husafell Shrugged lecture me then. What benefits do I get out of a shoe during heavy lifting?

@@petrl9838 What benefits do you get out of athletes foot or another type of fungus walking around barefoot in a gym?

Arne Asada Fuhhh yes

If you're not pulling the bar into you whilst maintaining thoracic tightness, then benching beyond 135lbs safely is beyond you. Every single client I have learns to bench with tightness in the upper back, pulling the bar to a rising chest is essential for that to happen. It may require a different queue, like pull your shoulder blades together and down or stay up on your traps but essentially a rising chest is a key indicator that tightness is being achieved. I think the point your making is that an inexperienced lifter shouldn't be attempting lifts beyond their own technical ability, the only way to reach the required scapular mobility is to train correctly and address the real issues stopping them from safely pulling the bar to a rising chest due to correct retraction and depression of the shoulder blades.In time they will increase their bench with the correct technique needed to do this safely. No tightness in the back leads to bicep tendon injuries, which believe me will inhibit benching for a long time :(

TheSagemeister what this fella is talking about doing and keeping your shoulder blades together are two different techniques all together and performing one doesn't mean the other is happening and vice verse as well as the chest rising. I'm not trying to argue especially on the internet where things are misinterpreted but I will say just for the sake of putting some validity behind myself, I'm old now but there was a day when I competed at the top end of the 275 class for years when geared lifting was in at the national level and shirt or no shirt I still had a 500 plus raw bench and trained with the best of the best at that time so I'm just giving my opinion after years of seeing it and hearing it all.
