    You are only strong as your weakest muscle. When i started out i could easily curl like 30 lbs but instead of my bicep my forearm used to fail like in 8 reps. Did a lot of forearm exercises like this and pretty much solved that prob

      Why? The guy can be weaker on one side but Squat U blames it on energy leaks with no further explanation. If you read the comments it seems a lot of people are more knowledgeable than this clown, mostly because as soon as something revolves around heavy lifting his advice is quite poor, probably because he never lifts heavy himself

      @@tomashorst9544 Yes because the commenters who are experts clicked this video and didn't understand the video despite their vast knowledge 🤦‍♂️ if you've been in the gym for a long while and gained knowledge and experience then this video is not hard to understand. He's saying a muscle imbalance could be due to one side of the core not depositing enough or nil air. You have to make sure you're in a stable position. Aside from a weak one side core, he talks about a broken link in the shoulders and legs. Who wants to tear off their chest SMH

    This kind of short form video makes it hard to understand the concept you're explaining. I don't see how an energy leak is needed to explain the uneven press. Isn't it simpler to just say one side is weaker? People are stronger in their dominant arm. Unless you do unilateral work to compensate virtually everyone will show these imbalances near failure. Doesn't the kettlebell exercise just make your non dominant arm stronger?

    What are you talking about? The dude in the first video is clearly pushing to or beyond rpe9. There will be obvious form breakdowns once a trainee gets to a weight that is that difficult for them. No amount of prehab or additional exercises will stop you from possibly misgrooving at rpe9 or above.
