1:48 is a big Soviet no no. Never step over the bar

I for one love training vlogs. I really enjoy the nuance and minutiae of training. Even with stuff as relatively simple as a back squat.

That pants are boosting everything with at least 50% 💪

I love the wooden walls. There's something about that old-school vibe, like the hall from the Bulgarian training videos.

Yes! Have miss the training vlogs

Love the training vlogs

Sorry if you’ve mentioned it in the past, but congrats on the growing family Gurph. A little fridge in the making.

I can dig the idea that you don't have to know, you just do. I think it's more than anything a personality thing. For example with me, my parents tell me that even as a little kid they had to explain and rationalize everything for me to accept what they were saying. And I've noticed in late adult life that I just encounter less problems if I'm explained the whys. So many things where I've had trouble performing them have clicked when I learned the why, suddenly it was obvious and easy. At first I might do things in a stupid or unnatural way even though I'm trying to copy the instructions, but when I get the why, it's like a snap of the fingers and I can adjust just the right way without instructions. It also boosts the motivation for me a lot when I feel like I know what I'm doing, it comes with a built-in purpose. Which is why my parents had hard time directing me, I wouldn't be motivated or do things right unless they made sense to me or I knew that they had a reason to ask for it. A fascinating topic. And probably a good idea for a coach to be aware that even that is a personality thing, an individual thing so they can adapt to the client for the best results depending on the client.

Favourite video in a while

I did the shoiku training programm in summer. Had amazing results.

FOR THE DADDYLAND! LONG LIVE SIKASTAN

Love it

Can you make video on beginner workout plan

Sick.

Dude the carrying your son on your shoulder thing is for real. I carry mine on my left shoulder and the right side of my core/hips always has some twinge in it. They might only be 10-20lbs but carry them for 2-5 hours on any given day and it adds up

What a big lad

sikastan training hall is looking nice. can you show if you have the weird euro electrical outlets?

congrats on your baby

Any chance of a review of the TYR weightlifting shoe?

would you please list the weight that is currently being lifted at any given moment? This would be helpful for me because these plates are different than what I'm used to, also I know some people use KG and some use LBS.

Belts looking way to fresh

Hey fellas, my back has felt a bit weak lately since I've been mostly just squatting and not much else (for Squatober lol) Do you recommend I start back with some volume on something lighter like snatch pulls, or should I go for some heavy clean deadlifts? Or just anything?

Congratulations on the kiddo, Gurph!

Prediction -zack griftlandrr starts soviet training next week

Love some refrigeration.

How did you learn to program for weight lifting/strength and conditioning? Do you have any formal education and do you believe formal education has value in the world of strength and conditioning?

Random one. Could we get a breakdown on the potential effects of masturbation and sex on training and performance. If there’s any research in that area!

For the Al Gore rhythm.

is the nail behind you in perfect alignment with your spine also part of the Soviet style?

What does Sika stand for?

Question as someone who is beginning to include more weightlifting into training: do you calculate snatch grip pulls as a percentage of your max snatch (whether below or above 100% of that value: i.e. 115% of snatch), or as a percentage of your deadlift? If a dumb question I understand lmao

for the algo

How did Anton decide that your back was your weakness?

Stopped everything I'm doing and walked out mid job interview to watch this training vlog - love these!

Why do weightlifters like ju jutsu so much what's the deal with that lmao

What squat stand do you use?
