“No one cares how much you can lift” is the realest and most important fact to remember while weight training. I know countless people who have countless injuries because they fail to realize this.

@vipe650r 4 ай бұрын

Wise words. I'm sure I could be bigger than I am, but I'm here to do work and to keep doing work for a long long time. For me, that means education, rest, nutrition, more education, and a willingess to push hard AND slow down when my body needs it. I WILL work hard, but I will also rest, eat, and play hard. The gym serves me, I don't serve the gym, and I intend to be showing up there for another 60 years... at least.

@@vipe650r👍👍👍 I’ve been lifting since high school and I’ve been a full time trainer/gym owner for 25 years. Focus on the primary lifts (Squat, dead, bench, dips, pull-ups, rows, military) those will give you most of your results. I cycle my reps from 4- 25. Going down/up to 25s/4s rarely. Staying in the 8-12s mostly. I train deep ranges of motions slowly. I go to failure rarely. Knock on wood, no injuries.🤞 if you get back pain, stretch your piriformis, psoas quads. Those are the usual offenders. For size eat more than you probably think you should. If you use AAS start with half what most people say ie: test/tren/anavar/dbol etc. For cutting I’d recommend low dose retatrutide. It’s new but the science is old. Peace bro ✌️

Even though this may blow your mind, most people just want to be able to move and perform better in life. A lot Bodybuilding and strength exercises suck for this. In normal life we lift a lot of awkward things, which require the full body, with rotation at weird angles. Bodybuilding exercises don't replicate these moves.

@@b.28Exactly. I see tons of bodybuilding critiques of movements that are for functional strength. Debbie might look weird on that cable machine but what you don't know is Debbie has to awkwardly lift 70lb boxes off a conveyor always on her right side. So if Debbie doesn't go to the gym and replicate that movement on her left side, she gets back pain from an imbalance. Everyone has different goals and people need to stop criticizing from the perspective of only getting bigger.

The general rule of thumb is that if your joints are getting at least a 90° bend on any exercise, then you're good. Some people will disagree, but the reality is that everyone has a different body type and modifications typically need to be made in most people's training for at least one exercise. So long as your muscles are actually getting activated, it's going to be beneficial.

One of the things that people don’t realize about professional wrestling is how much your knees get messed up from jumping and landing off of the ropes and out of the ring. And his back, while stronger than whatever fraction of people, is also probably not in as good shape as if he had only lifted and not wrestled. Pro wrestling is a super taxing sport, so I wouldn’t be surprised if his knees are jacked up and he doesn’t have the flexibility. Plus he’s (a very handsome) 50+ year old man.

Dr Mike, I remember reading a while ago that the Rock injured his knee in college playing football. The lack of deep squats & lunges Probably stems from that. Great video as always.

I heard in the 90s that eccentric contractions were not good for your muscles, so I have no idea why that was, but glad to see you see them as beneficial today. Thanks.

The "ego" part of the bottom ROM is real, for sure. As my hip, pelvis and lower back mobility and stability have improved I've been able to get deeper into just about every lower body lift and god damn. Going from 420 from a 90 degree leg press for 6+ reps to 320 and barely being able to get 6 reps is insane. On the other hand, despite the weight on the machine dropping by almost a third, I can actually get almost all the way down on a pistol squat and sissy squat now. Relative strength OP.

@@mightyhendo9828😂 I was doing 45 curls on Monday lol. But they were actual reps to 10 with proper form and full ROM. I also just happen to be a big guy so 40-50 is my typical workout weight for biceps curls. That said, I've seen some of the younger men in the gym (late teens-early twenties) doing the swing to the moon strategy, trying to lift more than they actually can.

yeah cause you're not trying to impress idiots on instagram; but i mean what he's doing here tracks, fake natty also happens to be an ego lifter is not that surprising.

@@mightyhendo9828 Yeah, I have definitely gotten more out of a set of slow-as-shit, deep, good form pause squats with two plates than I have out of any heavier set. Hell, after finishing that even just the bar or body weight feels like you're moving the world.

I liked his explanation on unilateral DB presses. Lately, I been doing them similar to what he explained, however, I would do 3-4 reps on each side, then press both and repeat. I will try the way he explained next time!
