This basically describes humans. Each and every one is going to be different with regard to strength and hypertrophy potential. This is why you shouldn’t compare and just train intensely. Do the controllable. The rest will take care of itself.
Interesting, thanks Jay. I think grip strength (in the case of the climber Magnus vs. Larry Wheels) has some benefit. If the grip part is easier for him, it might help him recruit more bicep and lat musculature.
Since strength is a skill, and because of good leverages, if you practice lifting heavy all the time you will be be very strong but maybe not necessarily have a lot of muscular mass. That’s why I say after intermediate stage of building muscle strength and size don’t seem to correlate as much. Cause you can be really strong on a specific lift cause you been doing it for so long but don’t seem to have the muscle to back it up cause that specific lift requires skill.
Hey Jay. Could you make a video on overlapping? I find that there is not a lot of information online about this topic coming from HIT experts like your self.
Yeah some guys can do one-arm pullups for reps. Similar to curling your whole bodyweight... for reps! Personally, most days I still can't even do one regular(two-armed) pullup. I read once that true strength comes from the tendons(reason for crazy grip strength?). Something I noticed with myself though was that when I stopped cracking my knuckles, my grip strength skyrocketed(maybe coincidence). I used to have incredibly weak grip strength back in the day(could barely play racket sports or armwrestle), and now it's higher than the guys around me, with basically no training to get there(including vs. regular lifters, who are regularly gripping bars). Some claim that grip strength is a great overall indicator of strength, but I don't agree with that. My regular overall strength is likely average at best. Feels like I got a lot of fast twitch fibres though, being able to throw a golf ball easily 90+ metres(basically 300 feet, tested at an archery range, rugby field and athletics field). It was a ball that said 'max 90m distance' on it though so it's possible another ball would go even further. Sprinting fast has always been really easy as well, without training. However, lifting weights has not been one of my 'strengths', weirdly enough. Never even got past 60kg in the benchpress, despite being ~188cm tall and ~105kg. Interesting stuff anyways.
Boyer was a seasoned bodybuilder, deep into his genetic potential and enhancements. HD training are the rapid way to hit that limit, compared to what became to be traditional training styles.
So there is a way to build strength without building muscles? What?? So why we do hit then??? If muscles are not evolutionary efficient why we dont do this way?
@@fightpoiskthose "strength" training only increases your bench press, squats and deadlifts. They require strength, but it's mostly technical skills and you have to do them more frequently to keep and improve the neurological adaptations. You can't isolate strength. Those 3 lifts are still great for demonstrating strength, but they're innacurate since they require technical skills. We should use equipments that require the least skills, which are machines.
@@fightpoisk Any training where you apply progressive overload will allow you to gain strength. HIT is just a safe and efficient way to do it, which does not have a high technical requirement, so it makes it simpler.
Damn dude a video a day? 💪
8:44 this is why you see combat sport athletes are some of the strongest pound for pound people in the world
Thanks Jay.
Great content Jay, very informative. Loving these new videos!
Great series Jay! Keep up the good work ♥️💪🫡

I think it also is a great deal to do with tendon strength

Yes. And vice-versa.

"...strength is a skill..."
No. Various barbell lifts have large skill components. Barbell-lifting is not strength.

and what would you do, to help a person with these characteristics in order to make them look more muscular?
Anatoly, one of the best examples 🔥 Can I clean here please 💀
Was the first person who came to mind 😅
very informative
I've always been stronger than I look. And I don't have the leverages to demonstrate strength.

Guys, is it worth doing a push, pull, legs program with HIT?
Boyer Coe Trained with Arthur Jones….Gained a lot of strength on Nautilus….8 months Later there was no increase in Muscle Mass.
Boyer was a seasoned bodybuilder, deep into his genetic potential and enhancements. HD training are the rapid way to hit that limit, compared to what became to be traditional training styles.
Mentzer asked Jones about why he had four months of strength gains but no size increase. Jones replied "It happens."
When Coe was doing this training he was off his cycle.
In one word Genetics. 💪🏾💙
Different style of training, if you follow pavel tsatsoulines early books like pttp, you can stay skinny but very very strong
The reason is genetics.
that's the goal... strong, not big. power/weight ratio.
So there is a way to build strength without building muscles? What?? So why we do hit then??? If muscles are not evolutionary efficient why we dont do this way?
In reality we do, the body is resistant to gaining contractile tissue in proportion to the gain in strength.
@@JDEG100 so is there better way to build strength than HIT? Ask because Jay always said that hit is best of the best for everything of the everything

@@JDEG100 yes but hit increases muscle mass . Which training does not?
