@@harvestingstrength I was wondering if a different bracing method could prioritize it since I’m guessing bracing takes away from the spinal erectors
@harvestingstrengthАй бұрын
@@cheffroggo4363 Well the erectors are going to work in some capacity to assist your brace but if you want an erector-challenging variation of exercise to help with development, perhaps try an SSB or front squat to challenge the postural muscles?

With a herniation in my L5 I'm too afraid to even try barbell squats or bent over rows, my lower back is just to fragile, instead I do Bulgarian split squats and chest supported rows, probably not as good but better that nothing i suppose.
@bloatmax4420Ай бұрын
If your lower back is fragile, strengthen it. Make it more resilient. A disc herniation is the farthest thing from a career ending injury in strength sports, you just need a stronger core is all. Bracing is a really simple concept, but difficult to properly teach and execute. It took me suffering from a severe enough lower back injury that put me out of commission for about a year and a half plus a year of rehab to get back to throwing really fucking heavy weights around. I think most people just lack the proprioception required to effectively brace, I'm extremely "in-tune" with all of my core musculature now. Highly recommend looking into Stuart McGill's work with Brian Carroll for some inspiration, lots of outstanding information from those two. Chris Duffin is probably the next best resource for proper bracing mechanics, he has some great videos on here as well.
@harvestingstrengthАй бұрын
If you go to the description of the video, there is a link about the article I wrote for Powerlifting Technique. In that article I talk about some exercises to help you enhance bracing. One of them is the "Elbow Plank with DB Row" and this one is INSANE for helping you understand how to have an immensely braced core. Check it out!

@@harvestingstrength What are your thoughts on dynamic core work's contribution to overall stability? Obviously isometric work is tried and true, but anecdotally I feel like also incorporating more dynamic work took my bracing, and rectus ab development, to the next level. Probably one of those things where you should always do both, I just don't see a whole lot of people doing it. They usually just choose one or the other, and I've known some damn strong people who only do stuff like weighted ghd sit-ups and cable crunches
@harvestingstrengthАй бұрын
@@bloatmax4420I absolutely agree, I think dynamic work is very important. One I love is eccentric-focused sit ups or even an eccentric-focused DECLINE sit ups. This ads immense time under tension, exhaustion, and growth without a ton of volume. When people lose their brace their spine is flexed, and a sit up is going to mimic a flex as well. So your preparedness through dynamic core work is a must in strength training. Great input man!

Prs are not good if it's less than 2 it can hurt you bad. I always do sets rest for 2 more then rest for 3 then again for 4 then a final set so roughly 3-4 consissent sets of 5 reps. I do 165-170 after warming up with 125 for 8 reps so 20+ lifts. I'm 16 310 I have been building more musscle then strength sadly so I'm good at sparring due to my weight not expertise as much. Now i have on a new preworkout amino acids it is litreally magic whey protein and creatine helped me maintain amino acids for the last 3 weeks made me stronger noticebly every 2 days. Have not done bench recently but It is noobie gains all over again. Post script been lifting for 2 years since 14.

I started benching 225 around 2009 or so, when I was 24 years old. However, I am also seriously mis-proportioned (I can't squat 315). 15 years later, I'm still able to do that, though I peaked around 255 as max. I really figured 225 was pretty common because most of the dudes I see at the gym can bench that much.

IHerb has scammed me out of 60 dollars worth of goods and I'm currently waiting for my credit card company to get back to me regarding payment reversal which seems to be rather complicated. They claim that despite the fact that my parcel (order. I was referring to order 5 2 5 26 7 2 5 2) has arrived short of 4 products that their warehouse records indicate that they've sent it in full. Long story short, they've charged me in full for 4 missing items and now they are trying to brush my messages off. They've already refused two refunds requests and listed the reason as 'friendly fraud' which is apparently their go to excuse for ripping off customers. I suggest you shop elsewhere as you literally get what you paid for - their customer service is a bloody nightmare and they clearly don't give a toss about it.

@@PowerliftingTechnique I'll admit... I use the 225 metric as well. But I am close. I feel for those that are much smaller than me and are made to feel inferior even though they might be 125lbs benching 185lbs, a ratio of almost 1.5, which is approx the same as a 210 lb guy benching three plates. If there was more emphasis on the body wt/lift wt ratio instead of absolute weight, it would motivate more people. It is why there are weight classes in power lifting. I am 158 lbs, 71 years old, and last week benched 220lbs. Close, but not there. At my age, the opportunity to make 225 will not last much longer!
