If starting them from the bottom, I used to use them as a deadlift assistance movement (conventional), and I'd put them at a pin height that resembled my deadlift start position.

It’s often an issue with starting position. Having a slow/weak lockout isn’t necessarily a problem that needs fixing, often it’s just overall strength and maybe some focus on top end work (bands/chains can be good). If your arms are short, try to make them as long as possible!

Hello Bryce! In the same vein, what would be the differences between a spoto press and a block press? and how and when would you recommend them to your athletes?
@ImTheBlackJesus5 жыл бұрын
In general, Spoto Presses are recommended more for anyone who's competing raw to increase control over the barbell and explosive power. Block Presses tend to be more for people who compete in gear and focus more on building strength during the lockout.

Hey Bryce. Could you go into more detail about why you would prescribe pin squats over paused squats for “squatmorning” people? I didn’t quite catch/understand it in the video.
@ethansheppard96645 жыл бұрын
Whenever I've done pin squats it feels like a necessity to drive the bar backwards and to immediately get more upright off of the pins. This is due to a 'squat morning' being way more difficult to do without a stretch reflex. So if you often squat morning, the pins squats might force you to squat in a style where the squat morning is even more punishing. Or at least that is how I see it!

Is using boxes to set the plates instead of pins to set the bar ok? I feel a noticeable effect regarding the slack of the bar, which I suppose wouldn't be an issue in regular pin squats. Unfortunately I have to train in a crossfit gym and there are no pins/safeties available.

For a raw lifter who doesn't squat super wide, they're usually better as a secondary movement than a main variation, if they're used at all. Fits much the same role as something like a snatch-grip dead or an incline bench - too different to be a good high-specificity movement (for most people) and too heavy to be a good pure assistance movement, but still useful enough for hammering a weak point with more volume/less stress. That's assuming you're talking about a standard westside-style box squat. There's a lot of variations in stance, box height and form that can change what you might want to use it for. Now if we're talking non-powerlifters, that's a different story.

@@straightgains6239 I started off on one of the beginner 3x5/ 5x5 programs that are out there. In particular i got the app (while it was free) Stronglifts 5x5 and followed that for 10 months. Starting Strength is also a very good one ( and the Rippetoe isnt a jackhole like Medhi :D ) From what i have seen briefly going through your channel you look like you are doing something similar? I adjusted my diet to a lower carb intake (for me that meant 100-160 carbs) and much much higher protein and fat intake. I didnt see alot of weight change for the first 2 months, however the strength and perceived muscle toning that was occuring was very motivating. After 2 months the fat cells started shrinking and the muscle started to punch through. I went from 95.2 kilos to 82kilos in 7 months. I am very happy with that as the muscle continued to grow and the numbers are reflecting that! I'm super stoked that you're hitting the iron too and i geek out watching and hearing other people's progress. I've subbed to your channel and wish you the best in the rest of the gains train journey!
