Seth, can you please also do a video on your squat wedge? Seen your wife and you often use the que "pull" while going down/getting set, would be very interesting to know from you since your squat is impeccable.
Find Your Glutes - Fix Your Squat | TECHNIQUE TUESDAY ua-cam.com/video/vgxUP_OAB_w/v-deo.html
@@dr.sethalbersworth I literally skipped bc. of high bar, my bad, thanks Seth!
I struggle with the “leg curl” part. I sometimes end up with the bar rolling out in front of me just as I’m about to initiate the pull.
Set the bar @mid foot before setting up like this. That's what helped me.
The lat pull (think straight arm pull down) is going to pull the bar back in
@@dr.sethalbersworth thank you 🙏🏻
Thank you, would be nice to hear your explanation on the head packing on squat you always refer to.
Posted it last week lol
When I figured out how to wedge back in 2015, I simply considered it as loading my hamstrings before initiating the pull. The term wedge was only made apparent to me in the last 6-12 months. Prior to this "technique journey", I would stiff leg my pulls and muscle up the bar. I got pretty good at it, but my deadlift stalled at around 600lb, so I needed to learn how to be more efficient at my pulls if I wanted to get better. I vividly remember when I first got the technique right, and 500lb had broken the floor using a stiff bar before I even initiated the pull. I felt like I had unlocked the DaVinci Code that very rep. Your explanation on how to do the technique correctly is a lot more simple and straightforward than how I explain it. I would tell people to see-saw the bar with their hamstrings, using the knees as the fulcrum, while simultaneously using their lats to hide their armpits with their upper arms.
The leg curl is interesting. I was wondering how get my hams involved
Did some deficit pulls and noticed I had to be more intentlful on the wedge to not fuck myself on lockout. Does this mean deficit pulls could be useful for learning how to wedge more efficiently or am i just being an asshole with them? 🤔
Serious question: is giving a single solid hip “pump” to unstick/pull slack off the bar and off the ground not a preferred method of doing the DL?
Not dr Seth here but personally I like to do multiple hip pumps and think a hip pump is fine for the following reasons: one it gets me hype and kinda locks me in mentally (knowing that in three pumps I’m going to have to pull), two it gives me a dynamic start (stretch reflex type shit), and three it allows me to know that my slack pull is good and the upper back / hip position is ready to pull. Hope this helps (and also hope someone corrects me if I’m just fucking crazy 😂)
With my levers, multiple pumps helps me find more tension/better position. For those who aren’t built like a meatball, it’s not necessary.

Great videos! Recently subscribed after noticing we've got almost similar time left until our respective meets! And our prep programs are, as-well, pretty similar! Good luck on yours, Seth!
Where are you competing?
@@dr.sethalbersworth Czech Republic, however, it's a local meet. Starting small and transitioning to IPF meet next year!
I enjoyed seeing that part of your training too, not only the PRs
You'll love todays post because she was not a fun session lolol. Necessary to better figure things out though.
Common now, Doctor. You know better than that. The JM press does NOT load your triceps any more than the others. There's more weight on the bar but the tension is the only thing the muscle knows. Whether that's achieved through leverage or more weight is irrelevant to triceps growth. It's not like your triceps are magically stronger when you do JM presses so they can all of a sudden lift more weight.
No shit - you’re missing the point here. Expressing strength is more than mechanical tension. If that was it people could train for powerlifting meets with machine work only and win.
Love your videos man. I’m no powerlifter but they’re fun to watch while I walk on the treadmill
THANK YOU
damn your gym looks cool af
Hi Dr. Seth, what are your thoughts on Dr. Mike Israetel? Would you collaborate with him? I would love to see that.
I am trying to start at powerlifting, and I am watching a lot of videos from both of you guys, it's not fucking easy as I first thought lol, I am having some difficulty understanding how periodization works and etc... I hope I can reach my goals at the end of the year or maybe January s: 2 x 120kg b: 1x 110kg d: 1x 160kg bw:85kg
@@skinbo6955 Keep it up and you can reach your goals for sure. As someone who’s been in powerlifting for a bit now, the biggest thing I see that makes people fail to achieve their goals is just quitting when it gets uncomfortable or hard
Thanku doc👍🙏
Hi
This session kinda embodies 'trust the process' ... good shit Seth
Know this means nothing coming from a rando on UA-cam but very proud of you Dr Seth for not giving up. You are fr my inspiration and can’t wait for you to smash it on the platform
What else would he do?
@ Real. The Lorax ain’t no quitter
You are what makes youtube comment sections much more enjoyable than instagram lol
I'm doing the oogha boogha after deads toonight, need some twisty bendy rotational work
Great example of what I should've done!
Spoiler alert but I’m glad I took it easy cause today’s was MUCH better. But, I only got here because of learning the harder way when pushing wasn’t the right call.
God bless you soldier
It’s the right one that was lame not the pec side at least lol
Could you explain the 'lat slack' that you were looking for on the early sets of not quite overhead press?
Lat stack* Trying to get the lats to help support the bottom end
Your firing the weights now..over the last month when I believe you had to be a little more careful..
@@dr.sethalbersworth Got it - thank you. That makes more sense.
Love those kb swingy things for the torso
Goated
MOTIVATED FOR MY DOLO❤
I REALLY DON'T DO BENCH FOR HOW MUCH I CAN DO. BUT I WILL NOW WITH SOME TECHNIQUE. NEW YEAR IS AROUND THE CORNER....MIGHT AS WELL GET IT GOIN NOW!!!!!!!!!!!
THIS SUNDAY.....I'M GOIN' HARD AS A M!@#$F!@! BECAUSE OF THESE UA-cam VIDZ...THANKS!
Why not just wear knee wraps in training and start loose then tighten them more as you get heavier?
How many powerlifters does it take.....
3 powerlifters, 1 bodybuilder, and a strong woman
Don't forget the NHL strength coach with a fork lol
Also, Doc's got some insane looking legs.
Clicked just for the thumbnail portion. Did not disappoint.
Sounded like Rex from Toy Story at 3:35 😂
skipping to 3:35 was a wild experience
You might have addressed this in earlier videos. But I noticed that your hand placement when you squat is “uneven”. You’re right hand is basically all the way to the plates and your left is like midway. Is that because of like a shoulder injury/tightness?
Have had 3 shoulder surgeries on the right side, and a shattered humerus making the arm much shorter results in the unevenness.
@ gah dayum I figured it was something like that 😳
Need best accessories for squat and Deadlift also please
Anyone know what tbe song playing called when hes doing the first set of dimmel deadlifts sound like dnb
Heading to the gym now to try it out - excellent explanation of the relationship between the shoulder joint and lats
Such an underrated channel! Great advice!
THANK YOU
Just wondering have you done a UA-cam video on how you do your tate press?
He talks about them in a video about tricep accessories iirc
I talk about er here ua-cam.com/video/dUBQ4BcW4TU/v-deo.html Basically, it's just "close your elbow, open your elbow" with the elbows flared out somewhere between 45-75 deg from ribcage for most people
Thanks very much
Uploaded just before my bench day. Going for 405 so wish me luck yall 🫡
SMACK IT
Tell me if you get it good luck!!
Update: hit 410 paused, and hit 425 touch and go
@@Dave_Gunderson Was not expecting that well done
@@Dave_Gunderson HECK YEAH
First
I love the pump,helped me out 😊
with deadlifting how do you determine if you would be better at sumo or conv?
Greg Nuckols has a calculator on his website using your torso and limb lengths!
Easiest answer is to try both and see which one is stronger.
i never even thought of where my neck was when squatting! (im new) thanks for the entertaining content, had a good chuckle at your mic
Joel’s glutes look like he squats a little high 🧐
The only way they’d get that vascular
He who doesn’t pack neck, has small squat. 😂
You should put your own glutes in the next vlog
I second this
Dr Seth lifting heavy weights and Joel pic made me lose nnn 😔
Me too
Named dropping Jacked Dudes in KOTP 4 - and missed me. I'll let it go this time.
