Move your body explosively, move weight powerfully, move weight maximally. Those 3, plus hypertrophy work that will keep your shoulder n such healthy, should be the base of every athletes GPP
I don’t know about that ! I have lifted weight on this manner and always got my joints sore, gain muscle weight and those combination were not ideal for sport (bball). When I switched to calisthenics and plyos, it was a game changer. Never will touch plates again
@@abcdefgh4404 if your joints are sore from training you are doing something seriously wrong, it’s not a methodology issue it’s a you issue. And weight gain is 100% determined by how much you eat.
Hi sir. I would like to ask if by moving the weight explosively and powerfully that does mean i wont go slow on eccentrics? I hope you see this. I badly want to know because I really want to improve my athleticism.
@@ElleTheScalper mix both low weight fast reps and high weight slow reps to train both Type I (SO), Type II A(FO) and Type II B(SG) If you want me to go into detail into the muscle fibers, here. Type I muscle fibers is Slow Oxidative which carry higher capillary and aerobic respiratory enzymes. They are the slow muscle fibers. Type II A muscle fibers are Fast Oxidative, They are the walking(slow and not explosive activity) Type II B muscle fibers are used to produce high force rapid contractions to make quick + powerful movements such as Sprints, Punches, Kicks, and get tired fast.

Get a trampoline. It's a very safe and easy way to practice mobility and explosive movements and is also just lots of fun. When you start practicing and getting good at flips and stuff, all of a sudden moving around nimbly on the ground feels a lot less scary. I know that might sound weird but it definitely worked for me.
I agree 100 precent. I would appreciate a whole program from you where I can buy when I want to achieve a decent level of fitness, above average, get strong, build some solid muscle to look good naked but no instagram sensation, build a above average level of conditioning and stamina and when I want to be athletic and healthy and to be ready for every task of life but for the average dude, not for a specific sport, just look and train and move like an athlete. Thank you very much for sharing so much great content. I appreciate you

Thanks for your videos. As a graduate student who competes overseas, I've found everything you guys put out informative, useful, and super actionable. Kinda wondering where all this was when I was a teenager!!
dude is like every single question that I have in regards to strength, conditioning, wrestling, Bjj, plyometrics, grip work and every single aspect of training that I need to learn, is answered by one of your videos, this is unbelievable.
I knew there was something special abouth this guy when I saw a video a while back of him training and he had on a Deltron3030 shirt. Now he's rocking the Big L shirt? This guy never skips ear day
I’ve been doing Shaun Whites workout program. Lost lots of weight while maintaining muscle and becoming leaner and flexible.. It was a good change going from training for size to athletics during the cutting phase.
This was very informative I love your videos they give different options for muscle growth for longevity and performance and salute for the Big L shirt my favorite rapper.
You should do a video on how to balance training. I do a 3 day split and I always feel like my workouts are too long, but I just don’t want to go to the gym 6 days a week.
You might have to make it fun bro. Meaning if you play a pick up sport on your off days from the gym, you can still get your three days of lifting in and you won’t feel like you’re forcing yourself to go to the gym. If that makes sense
you don't have to be in the gym for 6 days a week at all. Your body needs to recover, that is never happening if you go 6 days a week. Personally i do 4x a week with upper lower and always close it off with 30 mins of cardio.
Do you have any advice on balancing two very different styles of training? I'm currently training for a half marathon, but also trying to make improvements in my olympic lifts and strength movements. Currently I'm lifting hard 3 days a week, running long 2 days, and one day is a combination of light technique work and a shorter run.
@@tmjacob2559 he is not telling a lie though. I don’t believe the athletes at his facility are on gear but the three examples of athletes he gave have or currently are on gear.
I don"t think there's a significant difference for naturals. Certainly an athlete might not be as muscular as a natural bodybuilder because their training is focused on specific movements for their sport, and a natty bb might not be as functional because they aren't choosing functional exercises, but not because they're building a different type of muscle. I also don't think that you can get very big without getting really strong or vice versa. There's a limited amount of muscle you can build naturally (about 32 lbs I think), and you aren't going to get near it without getting freakishly strong (think: 3 plate bench, 4 plate squat, 5 plate dead). Until you reach elite stength levels, strength is size and size is strength.
There's definitely a difference in power output between natural athletes and enhanced athletes though, which is why so many sports have athletes that are on steroids, even if the sport doesn't require lots of muscle
To this day I am really glad to have found this channel because damn...there are not really many *GREAT* channels with *LEGIT* information from people that *DO KNOW* what they're talking about.Most are from people that have a...suspicious background or that seem more focused on the social aspect of fitness rather than _actual_ fitness(Fitness gurus and influencers know what I'm talking about...yes, you do). Or they might be legit but there might be something lacking in either their approach to it or the content itself(I mean...how many "get a six pack abs" videos one channel needs?) For a long time I thought that only one person here had the channel that hit all the right boxes(and later found one that was great when it came to all-round fitness and physical prowess), but when I first found Garage Strength I knew that I've found *GOLD.* Although the main focus is mostly about and for athletes(which is fine as it gives us regulaar viewers some understanding about them and their training), the content is stuff that even non-atheletes like me can use(and there *ARE* videos that are for "anyone" when talking in general about fitness and athleticism). And it's just the kind of thing I look for, "becoming strong, becoming fit and looking hella good" all into one.
How strong should a middle to long distance runner be in the upper body? For reference I have a 660lb powerlifting total, but my bench is only 115lbs of those
If you are mid/long distance runner then you dont need to have too strong upper body. Distance runners usually dont even do bench or weights for upper body.
Hell yeah you can. Explosive movements definitely do help in tactical training. When o was in TACP (Air force) we PTed a lot and it was some Olympic lifts here and there but mainly body weight and running. I felt like I was in the best shape of my life then. Athletic, strong, explosive, limber… You know in special ops field our body’s take a beating and we aren’t in the most comfortable positions when it comes to field ops. Another thing you can do that I did, grab a weight vest and perform some explosive lifts in it. Not saying for you to power clean 225lbs. Just with the weight vest adding a little more weight to you and you cleaning something lite, like 65 lbs, it will resemble your gear while on actual duty and shock the body a little bit. I would go more than 10-15lbs if added weight on the vest though
Really big muscles look cool but they don't do a lot and oftentimes you become extremely inflexible building that unless you train flexibility in with it. Also if it's like a plasma hypertrophy a lot of it's just due to muscle endurance and you might not be as strong as you look. Hence the dudes in the gym lifting like 45 lb with a machine and being exhausted o___0...But jacked
Basically lift heavy ass weight for 1-5 reps(absolute strength) Lift moderate weight faster 6-10 reps (power) Lift light weight and yourself as fast as possible(velocity) You don’t need muscle they don’t pay bills
It’s ironic that all these require your muscles getting larger and stronger. You do need muscle. The strongest power lifters have a lot of muscle. The people with the most powerful punches also have a lot of muscle.
I can not speak english well! I can not understand most of what is said !!! Explosive Exercises That You Mention How They Help Me to Build Other Muscles Such As Shoulders, Biceps, Chest I Cannot Understand... Do I have to do explosive workouts and muscle building exercises separately? Pls help me
It's simple bro. Lots of fucking CARDIO like running "sprinting if you can". Also hit the weight room and watch your food. But cardio, getting your heart rate to it's max it's the key to looking athletic.
Okay is there anyway to contact you for some sessions? I’m in NY but I’d be down to travel to learn how I should be implementing things into my training at home.
You cannot actually choose what type of hypertrophy your body does, it is genetic. Hypertrophy just happens. Whatever you train for, is what you get good at.
You can’t directly choose but you can goal orient it. You can build muscle anywhere from 5-30 reps so long as you have good intensity and TUT, but lower reps you’ll build more myofibrillar hypertrophy and mid to higher is more sarcoplasmic, hence the burn and pump feeling bodybuilders get. You get both either way but you can def focus one more than the other although I don’t disagree genetics plays a role

You cannot actually choose what type of hypertrophy your body does, it is genetic. Hypertrophy just happens. Whatever you train for, is what you get good at.
You can’t directly choose but you can goal orient it. You can build muscle anywhere from 5-30 reps so long as you have good intensity and TUT, but lower reps you’ll build more myofibrillar hypertrophy and mid to higher is more sarcoplasmic, hence the burn and pump feeling bodybuilders get. You get both either way but you can def focus one more than the other although I don’t disagree genetics plays a role
