Still one of the best KZfaq channels at using shorts correctly and informatively.

Advice is spot on, well done.

most soft spoken Fitness trainer

Those dips looked painful 😣

One piece of advice I wish I had heard sooner is to record your sets every now and then. It's upon watching a tape of me doing pull ups that I realised I was going way too fast on the eccentric phase.

Those exaggerated dips were hilarious! Great info as always

Fast concentric, no pause at maximum contraction, slow eccentric, big stretch at the bottom. That’s what RP teaches for maximum hypertrophy stimulation. It makes you really sore and thus you require less weight less sets and less exercises per muscle. Super efficient if growth is your goal.

What will be strength required for no arm pullups? ☠️☠️

Idk why but those fast dips were really funny to me

Bro your so underrated

You are absolutely right! Imagine having huge biceps and not being able to do something. Training for strength is the main goal!

Even tho i dont do calisthenics, i absolutely love the information you provide in these videos. I apply them all throughout my lifts

The key is mix up both types.

To the best of my knowledge, most research suggests a fast concentric is superior for both strength and muscle growth. And there was no difference between a 1s eccentric and a 4s eccentric. You can interpret that in either direction: Do more contractions because longer eccentrics offer no benefit, or maintain TuT by milking the eccentric. While your tolerance for volume may differ greatly from 1 person to the next, volume is the number 1 factor for building muscle. Mechanical tension and thus your proximity to failure is the next most important factor. For strength, proximity to failure isn't as important, but the load is. It needs to be heavy. And that's where it will veer away from hypertrophy training. You can't amass as much volume because it's too taxing (and too time consuming, rest included.)

explosive concentric and slowed down controlled eccentric is best of both worlds

Best fitness advice on KZfaq bar none 💪

Perfectly explained brother congrats 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

I agree with you Daniel!! You’re the goat.

Great info as I just starting lifting weights and I actually prefer slower movements. I count reps but on the last set I try to go as slow as possible until absolute failure. Then later I’ll go back to that muscle group with a much lighter weight and do very slow reps until failure again. I feel like I already have improvement

Agree with most of this but explosive concentrics are likely better due to greater strength development equating to more hypertrophy down the line. Controlled eccentrics and full-rom (most importantly the lengthened position) are a must but pauses are very likely not neccasary. There is already decent evidence to suggest that intentionally using the strech-reflex is very stimulative.

This is stuff that I’m looking for! Great information. I train for explosiveness and strength so I always do my reps quickly and I utilise the stretch reflex to get as many reps as possible. Slow negatives with a large ROM is more ideal for muscle hypertrophy!

The problem I have with this, I tried both ways for many months! The „incorrect“ way was the only way that got me actual results and stronger tbh

Love how you look bro. Respect :)

He's right. I used to do this on pull ups and when I did arm curls. My wrist and forearms were in pain the next day after workouts. Now that I perform the workouts at a slower pace. It made a world of difference.

I been saying this. See so many using momentum as a crutch, they cant really do the weight without moving their whole body for it.

I use time under tension for every strength exercise I do, very effective 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

I love any trainer who gives more emphasis on resistance training (making each rep count) than ones who don't

Slow and controlled on the way down. Smooth but faster movement on the way up is my philosophy. Sometimes a pause, but not always

Damn a guy that explained it with PRECISION. No bs. No “ya gotta do it this way bro.” Just an honest explanation of what is better for what, and why. Bravo!

Training vs performing. Developing capacity vs using capacity. Good vid.

Your podcasts are so informative, blessings

I've been around since you were a teen in your parents back yard, it's fabulous to see that you're still sharing incredible body weight fitness knowledge today. Well done Daniel.

Well explosivness is for who for example practice combat sports 🥋

You and Alex are the only ones with good information KZfaq shorts 🔥

Fr, it's good to have the same pace when doing every rep.

Rp periodiazation gives the best advice on muscle hypertrophic training.

You’ve explained something I already knew, and left me understanding it better than before. Exquisitely well explained, sir

I'm watching this man almost 10 years. He's great

As an over-60 calisthenics guy this is what I try to do, controlled reps. I stopped chasing numbers.

GREAT SIR. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🔥😎 NO ONE MOSTLY TOLD THIS ONE ! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR PODCAST SIR !

The cleanest dip I've ever seen 👏

Those first clips looked like every gymnastics exercise ever. It works for explosive movement

Wow! What a great technique!! You Can really see you know your stuff about muscle building!! Thank you for being so enlighted!!! 😄😄

This is the best advice I've heard in ages you're the real deal for sure

I'm glad at least one guy is spreading good info about lifting!

Good explanation of why people get injured

As an athlete I prefer strengh over muscle mass. Ty for the informative short !

Straight facts brother

This is soo fkin true. Great insights.

Thanks broo I have learn something ❤❤❤

Thank you, Daniel

Very true. I used to train very explosively because I enjoyed the intensity. Now I've had issues with my elbows for some time.

Best piece of advice I ever heard when it came to lifting and gaining muscle; slow down and control the negative. Sometimes I'll even do 5 second eccentrics just to add the more tension on the last two reps of a set to really try to tear the fibers.

I would still include SOME explosive sets, because it comes with its own benefits, which you pointed out in this video.

Those dips were literal art

Good explainaition 👍🔥🔥

Thanks for advice

Pausing at the top is resting

That actually makes perfect sense. Thanks bro bro

All 2 formats work for both goals thats the truth

Strength > muscle mass

explosive into a static hold at peak concentric is the good stuff. reset with a respectable eccentric into a dead stop

spot on advice

Coooooool coooool!! ✌️😎✌️

I needed to hear this thanks ❤

You making my life better and worth living. Thank you

I’ve always been about controlled technique (something I learned from. Muscle and Fitness mag back in the early 80s!). When I watch these young kids lifting heavier than they should with explosive and incorrect technique I cringe! After many years ~ decades in fact ~ of weight training, swimming, surfing and martial arts; I had surgery on my rotator cuff and thankfully I’m mostly back to good (and I’m past the half way mark of life) some of the young ones aren’t going to get to 35 without a surgery, if they’re not careful ! Great video mate ~ Keep educating . The OG. 🇦🇺 💪🏽😎☀️🏄‍♂️💦

This is good advice when you can easily do 10-15 reps. But, if your below that, each rep is already pretty difficult.

One of the best advice. Base. 👌💪💪

GOD BLESS EVERYONE KEEP EVERYONE HAPPY , HEALTHY AND SAFE 🙏🏾

Mans looked like a flopping fish out of water 😭

Short precise effective information

I needed this. Thank you sir.

Thanks, definitely needed to hear that.

His form at the end was amazing 😭✨

Great video perfectly concise

How Fizz is still A tier is beyond me tbh

Ever since I lowered the weight and slowed my reps, my muscle development has been more effective

I definitely go for strength rather than muscle building

No pain No gain

agree!!! quality over quantity

Thank you

It should be explosive on the positive and slow and controlled on the negative for maximum muscle growth .

Don’t lockout. 1 keeps tension on muscles throughout set. 2 when you get older your joints will thank you.

Great stuff!

I've been trying to wrap my head around this because to me it seems like lifting can turn into more technique or raw physical power and the slow muscle building control seems to give you the pure raw power and grows muscle + endurance compared to traditional strength training where you can do 1 rep super heavy then gas out but seems more like a sport than actually getting stronger

My elbows are soar watching this

Explosiveness on concentric part of the movement and controlling the eccentric part of the movement is fine and pausing at the bottom stretch is far more important than resting at the top

Yesssss. Love the demonstrations 😂😭

That is exactly my goal I’d much rather be wrong then look strong.

Yes it is. Scientifically an explosive 1-second contraction followed by up to 7 seconds in the negative is the most stimulus. So it's explosive power and controlling the negative that is the most muscle building.

Seek Inefficiency for tension that leads to hypertrophy and strength

That stretch reflex is so real

Those dips when he was kipping it looked like hell for the sternum

Absolutely right you are

👍 Agree 100% Well said!

Beautiful video

a simple way you can get the best of both is to have a slow, controlled eccentric but an explosive concentric. and you don't need to have sloppy form on the concentric to do that, just do it quickly

Time under tension is the name of the game folks💪🏻💪🏻👍🏻👍🏻
