Best tip to prevent snap city is to always do behind the back deadlifts with a round back that will keep you safe.

[@bloozism]

[@silatguy]

warming up is no joke, im 34 and just the last year or two I have started to really feel it, especially making sure my knees are warm. I neglected mobility work and foam rolling and almost got a serious injury, my knee buckled and gave out when I was warming up with 315, for the next several days I had to stretch and ice it and do bodyweight squats

[@ericbugenhagenOfficial]

silatguy sounds like just about what happened to me, only my knee just exploded out of this stratosphere

[@silatguy]

when you say your knee 'exploded', what does that mean, is it a euphemism...did it make a pop or what is an exploding knee and that sounds like something that can never be fixed? Just wondering because I have never heard that as a medical term and I want to know what to watch out for haha

Love this channel man, found you from juji. After discovering spine decompression from Athlean, my numbers have been shooting up like mad (415 lb DL is where I'm at currently.)
Thanks for the tips on hamstrings, honestly I've been neglecting hamstrings other than just doing deadlifts and trap bar DL.

Hey Eric, Louie Simmons also recommends using 10 or 20 lb ankle weights for 250 lying leg curls everyday or every other day for muscle mass, endurance and ligament strength

[@tonycrosby1061]

kyle kelly sounds like a similar movement to jogging. why not just jog instead...

[@hardcorebarbell]

Tony Crosby Because jogging also works the quads, hip flexors, knees, calves?
We're talking about *hamstrings* focus.

[@Dave-de1ly]

but that's not even the point!

[@urinater]

Warming up your rotator cuff will only help if your actual shoulder exercise form does not impinge.
Keep your shoulders in your socket when pressing. That usually means a much narrower grip.

[@Qwerty_789]

i find 20-30 degree shoulder joint position is best for chest activation and safety

That’s what’s Mountain Dog training is, pump a muscle before heavy weights. That’s what Alex band workout for connective tissue are too, strengthen supportive tissues and pump muscles. That’s what ultra high volume training from Vince Gironde and Serge Nubret is too. Always keep relearning things

[@SamuelRWB]

Great tidbit thanks eric been doing a deadlift with a band between warmup sets to keep the chain real warm. Thinks it's actually unlocking power too, since if the body feels pain it limit force production, now I'm doing the band my back feels better and i unlocked like 2-3 reps of my sets of 5

[@TheLockon00]

2:50 I'm 26 right now and have learned/am continuing to learn the need for avoiding injury. Tips from guys like you is well appreciated.

[@mistalineaalba6309]

I agree about the hamstrings but the knee can be pretty loose on open chain exercises, I hate isolating legs on machines with a passion. Hamstring curls on a stability ball or rings are probably better options for prehab.

[@ericbugenhagenOfficial]

Mista Linea Alba agreed

[@gunnarjuve]

Eric Bugenhagen good shit Eric. You have “it”.

[@PP-xj7vg]

Mista Linea Alba Machine leg curls feel like absolute dogcrap

[@cantankerouspatriarch4981]

Machine ham curls will lead to an injured lower back because of how they isolate the hams. Check out Athlean X's vid on the subject if you don't understand what I mean and have not experienced the lower back rapage yourself. GHR's are the saviour we didn't deserve but desperately needed.

STICKY RICKY, THE TORTOISE WITH THE HAIR

[@georgemosk3693]

This video is golden. Honestly. I logged in just to write this and press the like button.
I wish I saw it before I injured my knees. Nothing very serious in my age, I believe, but I still got a very unpleasant pain issue, which also took me out of the gym for a few weeks. Obviously, it led to a huge setback since I used to train almost every single day, and now I am working to address those muscle imbalances in my hamstrings and quads before I can even begin going back to my old routine.
I am certain that everybody who is doing squats (no matter heavy or high volume bodyweigth) has to do knee flexion as well just to prevent long-term knee injuries.

[@yeetspageet5679]

Is there any good ways to do flexion exercises with only a bench, barbell and dumbells?

[@breno3635]

Thanks man, always knew the importance of warming up and stuff but never really did it seriously, gonna start doing it
Much love Ricky

[@PartyRocker991]

Hey Ricky, the long head of the biceps attach onto the supraglenoid tubercle of the scapula therefore crossing the shoulder joint, so they help with forward flexion of your shoulder as well as stabilisation of the shoulder during presses and stuff like that so, it's a good idea to warm them up ( just incase anyone was wondering about why you should warm up your biceps)

[@dude157]

I like to get a good forearm pump before the bench. Don't know if it's preventing any injuries but I can press more when my arms feel like they are going to burst when I squeeze the bar as hard as I can.

[@bretley361]

[@hadramawut29]

Eric you are Jesus. I was focusing on front squats a lot and I assumed it would really stabilize my knee. But my lack of hamstring emphasis and my job has me sitting a lot led my right knee to feeling tweaky. Keep it sticky, Ricky.

[@RohannvanRensburg]

One of the best shoulder health things I've found is heavy farmer's walks. Did YTLW's and junk for years and didn't feel any different when I cut it out. 2x pull volume and do heavy farmer's walks.
Haven't tried bands but that's a good idea. In GPP or hypertrophy phases I also find ring or TRX pushups are huge to condition all those supporting muscles. Slamming 5 heavy bicep curls pre-bench seems to help the bar bend cue.

[@No-way-way]

I'm 25, and taking Sticky Ricky's advice. Don't wanna end up like one of those guys who's 40 years old saying "Yeah, I used to bench 315 for reps, but I can't bench anymore".

Ex physiotherapist and knee patient here. If you have knee pain, do eccentric quadriceps training and TRAIN YOUR GODDAMN HAMSTRINGS. Any kneepain will disappear and your knees will be strong as fuck.

[@benjaminadams9607]

The moustache is looking thicc, sticky Ricky. But thanks for the advice, I'm going to incorporate more hamstrings into my training. As of late, I've gone screwed up my lower back doing heavy squats and now I can barely squat and deadlifts are basically out now too. So I'm trying to focus on rehabilitation, so thanks for this!

Thanks for your videos Eric, even as the beginner I am starting out with simple full body workouts, you made realize that lifting is more than a workout. There’s no need for c4 when I tell my self (or more like scream) “intensity” when heading to the gym. Also, nothing gets me through an AMRAP of squats more than thinking of the 335x20 video and what you said there. Don’t stop posting Bugez

Jacob 0 What!!!!!

[@andrew_35]

Maybe you meant internal rotation?? External rotation would make it worse.

How do u go about stretching? I find it Hard to balance stretching too little or too much when I’m incorporating the super high rep band stuff.

whats your opinion on leg extensions Eric? do you feel they are worth doing If you are after horse quads ?

[@ericbugenhagenOfficial]

adrian silva they get some flack for the sheering force on the knees but for my rehab purposes, I am doing them to build my VMO back up. Nothing really isolates the quads quite like the leg extension so I think it has its place for hypertrophy purposes as long as you don't go overboard with it. As for strength, it'll have just about zero carryover to all your big lifts lol

[@plasticcup5583]

I know the general suggestions are that behind the neck press (Not heavy) and behind the neck lat pull down are stapled as bad but was doing some research and people are suggesting that those two exercises help with shoulder stability, thought anyone?

[@signs80]

PlasticCup They aren't terrible but you have to work up slowly from a very low weight to be sure your rotator cuff in that extremely stretched position isnt compromised

[@s57iotukt55]

I hear don't even try to do the behind the neck press if you have shoulder issues and I believe it was Jeff Nipard (might have spelled his name wrong) who cited a study that stated the behind the neck press is all regardless of shoulder mobility.
But what I don't get is why even do it? Unless you plan on doing snatches, the only other benefit I heard is more medial delt activation.

[@DC-xw3hh]

I thought deadlifting uses a lot of hamstrings. I tweaked my hamstring during a sumo deadlift once , but I never injured my quads.
