      I’d really love to find a dead lift and benchpress focused program. I’m sure it would have some squatting in it but that’s the two lifts that I think I’d really like to bring out. Any thoughts I did just subscribe to your base strength AI it seems pretty cool, thank you for creating it

    Great advice at the end... As someone with shoulder pain... I have done this forever and it works every time.
    When something hurts, but is still usable... I half the weight and slow the motion down by 4x with a full stretch of the muscle.
    99% of the time the pain will be gone in under a month.

      The issue is that connective tissue (tendons, ligaments, fascia, the sort of "membrane" surrounding all joints and muscles), tales MUCH LONGERRRR to heal. In fact muscles are the ones that heal or "recover" fastest, first.

    Real talk about the allergies... It's becoming SO common these days that is disturbing.

There's dangerous levels of heavy metals even in salt, not to even mention stuff that's made from powders - bread, protein shakes, anything ultra processed etc.
    I developed a cat allergy and skin rashes that were incredibly bad and didn't go away until i did more of a carnivore approach, and now over a year later i can eat plants again, my rash went away, ALL of my allergies went away, including my "genetic" seasonal allergies that i had since i was a kid, etc.

    You talk about sandbags, axles, push press, etc. But I don’t remember seeing anything about logs right? Could be wrong. Anyway good video. I didn’t bench press for 6 months just overhead pressed and my bench stayed that same in those 6 months.

      @jaymcn I would totally recommend to do incline pause bench and forget about normal benching, them after some time returning to normal benching and you'll be surprised by how strong you are.
      I don't know you personally but a deload might be very beneficial.
      Good luck.

    Coming from a powerlifter who didn’t do any accessories besides close variations of s/b/d for 8 years (due to purposely staying at 75kg) a point I learned the hard way about neglecting any bicep training or any back training besides deadlift variations-
    The rate of tendonitis and overuse injuries are astronomically more frequent when they’re neglected.
    And while they aren’t primary movers the increased stability makes a huge difference that you never noticed you needed before. The benefits of being able to train more consistently throughout the year outweighs the downsides of having extra bodyweight that isn’t a prime mover

    6'6. long arm guys have a distinct disadvantage at how far back their elbows need to travel. My advice is don't drop your elbows too far below your shoulders and stop trying to compete with those with shorter range of motion and better levers. Even if this means saying that you rep a 140kg even though you are an inch above your chest. Your advantage is torque and you wont see it on the bench press in particular. Dont go deeper than other people and risk shoulder health. Switch to dumbbells and be happy with a moderate bench. We aren't all hafthor or Brian Shaw and need to take our shoulder health seriously. No-one likes trigonometry but it still exists in the strength world.

      @@Isaiah_McIntosh hell no. That wasnt what i meant. Just be careful if you have long arms like me. Sports always has a physical adaption that someone is better, taller etc for basket ball. Tall guys have to watch how far your elbows go down as it puts extra stress on shoulders. That is all. And if powerlifting is your thing then you just have to deal with that if it does happen. I have spent enough years striving for a 150kg bench! Just be mindful that your elbows have to come down waaay further than someone with say short arms and a barrel chest. That is just the difference between lifting and lifting related sport.

      @todretex Місяць тому +1

      @ not really. there is no mathematical scenario where lengthening the arms would directly improve bench press mechanics. The physics of the bench press heavily favor shorter arms due to the relationship between force, torque, and range of motion. You are just strong! If your travel distance was shorter and your levers shorter then you would probably even press more!
