      I love how you seem to care just as much as your husband about his hard work and journey working out. Wow. Too many times I hear stories of women becoming upset, insecure, or unsupportive of their partners progress in the gym and with nutrition. Apparently, because it makes them feel bad about themselves, changes their diet (and therefore impacts her), or whatever other dumb issue. Good on you. You seem very supportive and I'm happy for your husbands success.

      I think using an ab wheel is a natural progression. It’s a plank that you’re dynamically making more difficult as you descend, then easier as you return and reset.
      Why twiddle your thumbs waiting for your abs to work when you can go from zero to “squeeeeze” in just a few short seconds.

    I don't know where to leave questions for Jeff, so I'm just going to leave it here...expecting him to find it miraculously. Hey man, Jeff, I've been following you for over a year now. Watched a lot of your videos and even got myself some of your books on back hypertrophy, push,pull,leg workout program, and upper/lower split program. So, as for me, I turned 34 this year, and I'm a phd student, approaching the end of my 5th year fast, in a social science program. I've been going to the gym for about 7 -8 years. I love what you preach about slow progressive overload and maintaining good forms rather than stressing about how much you lift and how many sets you can complete. Lately, I've noticed that my joints (esp. my knees) started to hurt a little more (hurt my shoulders about 2-3 months ago as well) and felt like I'm hitting the plateau. Until last week, I've been doing squats (6 reps x 4 sets, 140kg), deadlifts (7 reps x 4 sets, 130kg), dumbbell chest presses (12 reps x 3 sets, 22.5kg on each arm), weighted dips (10 reps x 4 sets, with a 10kg kettle bell), 60-70 bodyweight pull-ups, one-arm seated cable rows (10 reps x 4 sets, 70kg), and a few more exercises. This week, I'm planning to have a break, maybe until mid way through next week (about 10 days in total then), and trying to come up with new routines. But I was wondering maybe if you could one day make videos for people like me, regular gym-goers who can make commitments to work out maybe only 2-3 times per week due to so many other commitments at work and other places. Work stress, writing thesis, while simultaneously trying to make some money to survive...you know what I mean. Cheers man. Hope you find this message somehow..haha and me and my girlfriend also love to watch Stephanie's videos as well when she goes crazy for some delicious food that we can't really get in Korea! Peace!

    • @imgonnabethebest
      @imgonnabethebest 5 років тому

      Oh, maybe I was being too vague there about "...make videos for people like me..." It's always nice to have someone give you clearer ideas/goals/objectives/whatever to help you plan in a certain direction. My question is mainly about whether or not it is possible/feasible for people like myself to set goals to become, or even get close to, like you, like bodybuilders. Do you think there might be possible routines that we could follow or even any tips? Should we take more time to reach a certain state of body composition or muscular development than professional bodybuilders would take? Is that even possible? cuz taking too much time might not help stimulate muscles to grow (that's just my guess). If all of this is just not feasible, becuz it comes down to how much effort you can make, just like any sort of achievements you might desire in life, then should people like myself change goals to rather lift less heavy weight and focus more on keeping the bodyfat low and developing lean muscles? Sigh...now I don't know where I'm going with this...haha anyway, thanks for reading this long message man. Peace!

    Finding the "optimal training" for abs is actually not the question I spend most time thinking about: the problem would rather be finding exercices I enjoy.

      Most people lift for aesthetics, pursuit of improvement, or the myriad of health benefits. Looking for "enjoyable exercises" is the lowest t mindset I think I've ever heard. I'm not actually joking. Having high t makes effort and "discomfort" actually satisfying. Ironically, the best thing for you is to probably push yourself into discomfort, and it's exactly what you're trying to avoid lmao

    I do a modification of the plank where I rest the elbows on a foam roller. When doing regular plank I feel that I can use my shoulders to offload the core. Of course I could just... not do that, but using the roller eliminates that possibility altogether so it's one less cue to think about, and I feel it makes the exercise more consistent.

    Hey Jeff, long time trainer here and subscriber of yours. To be honest, if we were doing a training session I would have some corrections for your plank. Even though you demonstrated (while standing) how to shift into a posterior pelvic tilt, I do not actually see this happening when you do your plank. I use the term "high hollow core" often to help teach people rock solid, flat lower back planks. My suggestions for you would be to drive into your posterior tilt a bit harder (exaggerate it) and raise your hip line about 1 inch above your armpit line. Exaggerate rounding the upper scapula as well. Then creep your nose line over your knuckles while keeping the higher hollow-core, and the plank should look and feel more solid (specifically when looking at your glutes and lower back positions). - I Felt like you would be ok with a little critique. You obviously are a master at what you do!

    Another common error of the rollout is not having a hollow body, if you don't have a hollow body your lower back will tense to make up for your weak abdominals, and you will cramp so badly. Happened when I first started training and took really conscious effort to crunch/hollow during the entire rollout.

  • @rattletop

    Another point is with the ab wheel you can start doing it with Barbell + plates to increase resistance.

    And this is where I rather Jeff Cavalier vs Jeff Nippard. The way these exercises were used can be made more effectively. Example: to better use the ab wheel is to actively flex the spine to bring it closer to your leg, not keeping the back straight.

  • @xtraOrdinaryAthletes
    @xtraOrdinaryAthletes 5 років тому +4

    I've never recommended overloading standard planks by adding plates. Way too much of a pain to set up and dismount from, and not the most optimal exercise for progressive overload either. But I have to admit, the times I have tried it with a partner, something about it feels soo satisfying!

    good routine and workout video. Easy to follow. I think the one thing people tend to forget about abdominals is they need to keep contracting. It's not enough to just move the lower body, you have to activate the abs like every other muscle needs to be activated on the body. Good video!
