    #1 way to prevent injuries in novices is to not do crossfit.

    Alex, could you make a video showing some connective tissue exercises and how to perform them? I've never heard of connective tissue work before. thanks

  • @AlexLeonidas
    @AlexLeonidas  8 років тому +38

    Guys...use special exercises. Not saying you need to do a million of them, but you need accessory work and variations of the main compound movements. Not doing so causes overuse, muscular imbalances, and postural imbalances which over time can lead you to getting injured. This is why ALL athletes use a multitude of movements and why strength and conditioning professionals administer special exercises (includes isolation as well).

    This video is so right. I just injured my lower back doing 300-pound 5x5 squats. On the last set, my core lost tightness and I pretty much good morninged it the entire way up, tearing my lower back apart. Now I'm just praying it's not a herniated disc and rehabbing it with rest. I need to do so many more accessory lifts to strengthen my core..

    Great info. Never heard of this Z press before. I've been neglecting overhead pressing simply because I train at home in a low ceiling environment. Never occurred to me to just do it from the floor. Definitely going to try this.

      i'm not convinced he is juicing if he wasn't working out for 3 months. You and anyone else will lose muscle if you stop training for 3 months and you will lose a lot of muscle and it will make people think you were juicing as well.

  • @turnippatrol4607
    @turnippatrol4607 8 років тому +3

    Great video, lots of the training minimalists should watch this. I think another problem is novice lifters imitating advanced routines with way too much volume for individual bodyparts

    • @AlexLeonidas

  • @Wtizreal
    @Wtizreal 8 років тому +1

    I used to have pain in my wrists from benching 225 because my wrists locked up and at times was really painful. wearing wrist wraps masked the problem but it was still uncomfortable. When i started doing rope hammer curls on the cable my forearm extensors got really strong and I have no pain. As a matter of fact every strong bencher i see has MASSIVE forearms.

      feel you man, kinda same here, don't give up
      I can just tell you what helped me
      1 month complete break, maybe a little bit of abs and core, maybe forearms and hammies
      then slowly build back up once that pain has passed, high reps, good form, mind-muscle-connection, focus on stability, posture and mobility
      and be patient, I can't tell you how many times I reinjured myself because I was impatient and immature

    Sup bro! I commented on your page earlier today about my recent injury from the OHP. I believe it's from a pulled muscle, or strained muscle. I'm icing it multiple times a day. Not sure if you ever had a strained or pulled muscle but that would be some good content to post! I'm hoping my injury doesn't last very long.

    Dude you're awesome! Subbed! Perhaps you can help me with this. It seems that every time I do squats or conventional dead lifts I end up with upper or lower back pain... I therefore switched both exercises with the low-handle trap bar dead lift and have been pain free for months! But I do know that using just this exercises will eventually lead to imbalances. What exercises do you recommend to incorporate with low-handle trap bar dead lifts for my lower body?

    • @AlexLeonidas
      @AlexLeonidas  8 років тому +2

      +Joe Shaer Are you using the valsalva maneuveur? How about direct lower back and ab work, are you doing that?
      If the answer is no to both questions, I think I found your problem.

    Strained a muscle in my lower back again doing deadlifts. Only did 285 for 3x5 felt great, form felt spot on good leg drive and maintained a neutral spine, yet later that night started getting the pains which lasted for 3 days. Disappointed that this happened again after resetting my form working back up from 135 nice and easy. I'm guessing it's lack of core strength so I'm taking a long while off of squats and deadlifts to build up the core and work the legs individually with split squats etc. Also got physical therapy coming up only 26 years old can't stop getting injured

  • @swordsmanwil
    @swordsmanwil 8 років тому

    Alex would you say that your recommendation for doing fullbody training with low rest periods have caused a different training stimulus on the muscle fibres as opposed to normal strength trainingprotocols with the prescribed long rest periods? It is general knowledge that type I muscle fibres (slow twitch) have less power output but high endurance while type IIb muscle fibres (fast twitch) have greater output but lesser endurance. But there is evidence to show that u are able to convert a type IIb muscle fibre into a type IIab, which is a mix of both high power output and high endurance. Could this thus explain for your ability to withstand the volume while still maintaining adequate strength compared to other methods? Would like to know your insight regarding this. Keep up the great work and love the fact that you actually know your shit!

    I realise this comment isn't about potential injury, but did you ever find at any stage of your training that your wrist extensors were a limiting factor for an exercise? I like to think that reverse curls would train them well but thinking about doing a bout of reverse wrist curls, interested to see how much of a difference it would make

    Whats your take on this program? Been running it and seen great progress, but is it safe in the way you are talking about?
    Front Squats 1 x 5-10
    Dumbbell Shoulder Press 3 x 5-10
    Weighted Chins / Lat Pulldowns 3 x 5-10 (Lat Pulldowns when weightbelt isnt available)
    Dumbbell Bench Press 3 x 5-10
    Hammer Strength Rows / Bent Over Rows 3 x 5-10 (Bent Over Rows when im not in my regular gym that has hammer row)
    And im thinking about adding Barbell Shrugs 3 x 5-10.
    Thanks dude.

    I wish I never got a shoulder injury ruined my lifting for a year, didnt train at all. I still have pain but I feel like the pain is now there only cuz of muscle imbalance and if I do stuff like pullups or lat pull down my front delt area hurts its a weird pain but it goes away more if I warm up good and stretch but I feel like my rear delt is really underdeveloped..if only I did more back exercises instead of all that benchpress and OHP. I didnt have that suddent loss of ROM or hard to reach behind the back thing I could still do all that it just hurt and lost some stability, and it all happend while I was sleeping fuck lol..btw u looking good mate, alpha as fuck.

    • @Wtizreal
      @Wtizreal 8 років тому +2

      +Alejandro Gangotena vary the grip i.e do a close grip and wide (klokov) and do high freq. low volume. This will provide a new stimulus to your body which has a direct carryover to your exercise. Personally I would do closer for shoulder safety
