FUCK YEAH!!!! MATT’S stuff is rad as fuck!!!! Dude is super smart. The dude has been training forever and he isnt banged up. He has helped a ton of people! Algorithm , take this shit and show more of it!!!
On my last training cycle I was focused on bringing my OHP up, and at mid cycle I shifted over to pin pressing to address my sticking point. By far the hardest and most humbling strength training I've ever done, and the progress in no way matched the effort I put in. Next go around I'll be doing banded OHP to erase that sticking point, and I'll see that works better.
@@WenningStrength I'm benching for the first time in a few years now. My shoulders were pretty jacked up (legit injuries), and I spent the last year rehabbing them so I can bench press effectively without the risk of injury. I used the OHP as a gauge. I figured if I could get back to an advanced level on the OHP, my shoulders would be rock solid, they seem to be. Maybe I dodged a bullet of further shoulder injuries, haha.
Perfect video timing. Started today and for the next 10-12 weeks I'm using bands on my bench and deadlift. No straight weight at all. I trained straight weight for awhile, I'm curious to see how/if using bands makes a difference when I go to retest my bench and deadlift max after the 10-12 weeks
Competing again in December, hit 215 with 15 lb chains for 8 at probably an RPE 7 this morning. I love chains and can't wait to see where my bench is come December, hoping to smash my 308 lb PR!
@@WenningStrength Make that 230 with 15 lb chains for 9! I am so stoked about my bench! Just added safety bar squats with 60 lbs in chains too, really hoping that helps my squat!
Awesome video Matt!! Do you/or anyone you know have any information on testosterone and recovery with LEOs? Currently doing 6 week rotations between night shift and day shifts (12hr shifts). I feel like I’ve had to ramp up other areas with recovery to counteract the lack of sleep I get, which is probably killing my testosterone.
Hey Matt at the moment I only have access to a straight bar.. Would you do something along these lines, for a RECREATIONAL LIFTER? 3, 3 week waves at 75/80/85% (straight weight, because no bands, chains or specialty bars, yet) starting with my weakest squat variant the zercher squat working to front squat then switch to the back squat, (all done on a box that gets me below parallel). I would then test my regular squat and start over with other variations. This of course would be done on "dynamic" day. Same thought process to upper body. do you think this is any good for now?
BANDS MAKE HER DANCE
They make me dance, too.
Lol!!!!
BANDS WILL MAKE YOU GAINS*
Chains will make you gains
Straight weight is like missionary: it's fine in the beginning, but once you have some experience you have to mix it up to get the job done.
Lol!!!
The gym I go to just asked what equipment the members want, easy CHAINS CHAINS CHAINS
Now this is the content I subscribed for

I just started using bands (thank you Matt for showing me how to set up) and I swear it only took weeks to see a difference.
Yup!!!!!! 💪💪💪💪
Bands are chains are AMAZING!!

Ohp a great way to mess up your shoulders !! Get your bench up and watch ohp will rise

@@WenningStrength dang it, strongman competitions always have an OHP event.....
I talk about this extensively on patreon
@@WenningStrength what's a patreon..??

First priority. Bands. More versatile. Then chains. Thanks for the video.
Chains on the other hand never break

Great explanation!
I find banded resistance also helps my joint aches and pains too!
💯💯💯

What are your chains hanging from on the wall?
A bracket I made
What brand of bands are best for a home gym ?
Join up patreon for questions brother. Funds the channel 💪💪💪
I understand using resistance band but why chains( just add more weight right?)
☠️☠️☠️
Best content as always
Yes!
✅✅✅
If the bench is hardest off the chest would you stay away from bands/chains
Try long pauses.
Long pauses will help along with increase ROM!! More questions ?? Join my patreon brother
I know you have a patreon, but have you considered an onlyfans?
For what??
@@WenningStrength pictures of your feet or balls preferably
Lol!!!!!
