One thing that strikes me about those who are naturally gifted in any venture in strength is the massively over developed upper back. Upper back conditioning seems to be key to having overall functionality in every aspect of strength. I now specifically focus on rhomboids and mid traps every workout session because of how prominent this feature is. And you know what, it's working. Shoulder imbalances disappearing, lagging muscle groups growing and over all strength increasing. The upper back seems to be the glutes of the upper body. Without them, everything downstream suffers.
It's really interesting that you've noticed this, that's very observant of you. I was once studying androgen receptors in the body and found that the mid and upper chest, the neck, the shoulders, and the upper back all have the most androgen receptors. The study claims that with added resistance training focus on these areas, the rest of the muscles in the body will grow with even very limited training. Alpha destiny has his theories on this as well, teaching people to focus heavily on direct neck training for overall development.
@@arghnews Cycle through all kinds of rowing movements. Right now I train some kind of rowing movement at the end of every workout day and the gains have been good. Nothing fancy just 3 sets 12-20 reps. Stimulate but don't annihilate.

Great video and thank you very much for making it! I will be making a full video covering the program soon. To add a little context - it is aimed at more intermediate to advanced lifters, the volume is too little for a beginner but for someone that's already strong it will be fairly tough. If you are a beginner there are more suitable programs to run on the app. The reason it's 3 days is because it's catered to people already participating in a sport and can supplement their power for that. Therefore they will likely be training one or twice per week at their specific sport (for example I train gymnastics one per week) taking the total days to 4/5. If you don't do any sports then another optional day should be added. I will make a full video about it very soon.
I find your channel superb Mr Bromley! Really happy that an athlete like this gets shine. I've dedicated my training to a similar endeavor. Currently working on reaching a national level in Olympic weightlifting in Sweden. I can perform one arm handstand, freestanding handstand push ups for multiple reps, one arm chin up, climb at a high level, attain a high level of flexibility and so on, and so on.
I feel extremely attacked by your comments about unathletic people picking up powerlifting later in life. But yeah, I am actually really glad that the pandemic and martial arts forced me to mature as a lifter and an athlete. Now I'm doing calisthenics basically every day and probably seeing my best gains ever. I’ve also incorporated lots of sprinting into my routine, and somehow, it helps my upper body feel more explosive too.
Doing flexible and coordinated things helps with everything just like raw strength does. It lets you move your body fluidly and efficiently rather than trying to slowly move your bound shoulders to lockout.
Think a large part of it is just that they have their GPP and stabilisers sorted. They don’t get tendonitis in their elbows or achey knee’s because they’re already built as fuck. Scapula, rotator cuffs, wrists, ankles, all strong on day 1.
I integrate calisthenics and running to keep my fat percentage from shooting up. It might not be “optimal” from a sport perspective or even the hypertrophy/strength development obsession most people have in America, but I can maintain an athletic body in my late 40s. Competition with others is not more important than having fun. Calisthenics is really fun once you get to a certain level.
I see hybrid athletes as the solution to people who like group training and having athleticism in multiple domains, but don’t want the low ROM low specificity and inaccessibility of CrossFit. Im starting a club for powerlifting/calisthenics/triathletes in my area.
@@cheeks7050 Handstand push-ups, burpees, pull-ups, running, rope climbs, and really anything that involves pressing are all things cfit just kind of dicks around with in terms of ROM.
I must admit in my competitive powerlifting days over 3 decades ago I was one of the powerlifting princesses you described at the beginning of the video 😂
I really wish powerlifting didn’t shed all of the “spectacle” aspects it seems to have had in the 80’s and 90’s. And sumo should have been banned the first time a judge ever laid eyes on it.
A gym I used to go to had chalk board in-house records for the squat, bench and dead, but also chinups, dips, overhead press and strict curl. Really good fun.
@@fatmunch6318 I use it more as a variation to get used to holding heavy weight in my hands (and of course supporting it with my upper back) without all the low back fatigue in a conventional deadlift. It hasn’t directly gotten any part of my conventional stronger if I’m honest but definitely helps with fatigue management on my current program
@alexanderbromley You should look up Street workout & Street lifting This program is fine but I would actually structure this differently knowing in mind these guys wanna do Planches and Front Levers or even knowing the difference between Straight Arm Exercises and the stress they can put on an athlete doing heavy lifting or Bent Arm strength and those skills.
So, where do I get this drug package you mentioned? Yeah, I am not a competitor or even full time lifter, of any object, but I am full of minor injuries that have prevented me from having the guts to fully dedicate to fully enjoying my life. I hate that guy and I don't even know him. No, I am not ashamed.
Nothing wrong with being jelous. When king, there will always be others grasping for the crown. Our one way trip on this earth is short. Make the most of it by competing with yourself to be the best person YOU can be. Also why I think the name of Larry Wheels product line is genius!
First run like hell second master your own weight then start increasing the load on the barbel... that worked for me but I started weak and seek at 10y it took me 7 years to start work with weights abowe my own mass
If he doesnt pull sumo, he doesnt have a 10x bw total. Surprisingly, as much as you talk againt the movement, you make an exception and leave that fact out. Interesting.
because this video isn't about deadlifts. discrediting his deadlift wouldn't add anything to the video in fact it'd probably take away from it. see how you pointed out his sumo in spite of all his feats of athleticism and strength? that's exactly why he didn't talk shit about his sumo. it just takes away from the point of the video
For the record I believe conventional is far superior and I trained that exclusively for many years to get athletic and have carry over to the rest of what I do. I only swapped to sumo for a powerlifting comp because I got a PB the first time I tried it. The program I made does not include sumo but only conventional deadlifts or trap bar for even better carry over.
So you deleted comments that were most likely correct, simply because they made you mad? This is the first video I watch on this channel and it'll also be the last.

Can you give examples of what kind of additional upper back exercises you're using or would suggest?

First got introduced to Hadyn through the Sika lads and Clarence. He's an incredible athlete and it's good to see him getting more love!
Sika lads the most underrated guys in UA-cam fitness
@@YTho-ev1ej true and real
I myself I'm a charter club member of the old Balco club.
Hadyn's powerlifting videos are probably the most enjoyable vlog style "road to..." videos on UA-cam.

Just met him and Clarence at the Sheffield! Super nice guys
Nice to meet you dude! Was a great meet to watch
Hadyn Wiseman is an incredible athlete, very underrated.
Holy.... I didn't expect a video about me but awesome, I have only just clicked so will comment after viewing!

Great channel Alex ,love your content .
Hayn is unreal. had to grab the brick by brick Bullmastiff shirt too Bromley, love to see it
He is a certified badass
i was also surprised by hadyn!
Good content 👍🏼🙏🏼
Great video!
2:33 do NOT show bro Vatican City, Monaco, Nauru, Tuvalu, or San Marino,
It’s so impressive to move your body that way!
I really wish powerlifting didn’t shed all of the “spectacle” aspects it seems to have had in the 80’s and 90’s.

Sumo is a good accessory exercise to deadlifts to improve the lockout similar to box squats or rack pulls but yeah definitely not a competitive lift

I like to see other ppl's programs being kinda similar to what i am doing. Validates my efforts i guess
Dude, I didn't start lifting or doing cardio until I got to 29. I would walk the mile in high school or just hang out in the bathroom to avoid gym!
There's a calisthenics athlete named Slidis who is ridiculously strong.
if he didn't collab with clarence the squat wizard i wouldn't have any idea that haydn post on youtube

This is interesting video on deadlift strength of a calisthenic athlete who doesnt train deadlift - their deadlift is very low indeed!
"He has a more petite frame" just killed this man's soul lmao
so many good jokes through this ;)

Love the jokes!
My man's already changed the title like 5 times

Id say I'd hate to be kicked by Hayden, but its an event that wouldn't be my problem the second it happened😂
How they got that strong? By traning...
That is the point, they dont.
YUHIOH CARDS!! And subscribed

Why would I want to train like this guy? Seriously, his starting point is gymnast ninja.

Just because he cant do it in convencional, doesnt mean his sumo doesnt count. I bet you cant deadlift as much as him with the sumo
