“There’s nothing stopping you from adding 100 pounds to the bar,” and as one of my friends says “ER or PR.” Thanks, this is the perfect motivation for my next weightlifting session!
Heavy walkouts were a game changer for me. For squat warm up, last set is just: load up about 110% of working weight, walk out with it, stand there for a few seconds, maybe do like a 1/8 rep, then put it back. Makes walking out with my working weight feel ezpz and gives me COURAGE and POWAH
I've been following fitness content for a while, and everything you say is so accurate and beneficial. It seems like if you had started your channel 2-3 years ago, I wouldn't have had to put in as much effort. So much hugs and love from india
"Roll of shame" - I love that expression 😄My PR in the ROS is 130kg, leaving my abs slightly bruised. I would like to point out that it is safer to not wear a belt when you're unsure if you will have to perform a ROS, because otherwise you have the extra challenge of hoisting the bar over the belt, which will lead to at least extra bruising.
You're literally so underrated I appreciate the effort in the videos you put out, you'll reach 100k soon I believe in you! Tell your editor I said thanks haha
I have failed squats deadlift and benchpress every time I go, as long as you do it safely and don’t try to push past failure too much you’ll be good. Also use safety bars
Bracing is why I encourage doing corework and fixing your everyday posture. People round their back naturally cause they slouch alot and keep their heads down.
Another tip for failing a bench press: if benching without a spotter or safeties, DON'T USE WEIGHT CLAMPS ON THE BAR. If you feel yourself about to fail a rep, simply tilt the bar to the side and let the plates fall off the bar. Obviously try to do it with as little tilt as necessary, but it's much better than getting a bar stuck on your neck. Also, I wouldn't recommend doing this if benching over 2 plates, but i wouldn't recommend benching alone or without safeties if going that heavy regardless.
I gotta trap bar to do deadlifts and got a hack squat machine to replace back barbell squats, as they compress the spine when you go heavy. Hack squat machine is much safer and puts all the load on the legs and keeps the back out of it...i workout at home so its quit costly to get one, so go to a gym that has them. You can easily and safely go to failure.
Does warmup actually increase performance or does it just minimise injury chances ? Also what's a good warmup for push ups and pull ups, what does going to failure feel like and how do I know I'm getting enough rest between sets
As far as I know: Warm-up's almost Certainly Increase Performance because they make you Feel better and more Ready for a Workout. What I mean is that I may be able to do 10-15 Pushups without warmup, but with Warmups I can do 20-25. A Good warm-up for Pushups and Pullups are Knee Pushups and Negative Pullups. Going to Failure is when you Literally cannot do any More Reps. The Point of Failure Hurts and Burns Incredibly but Feels Incredibly once you've done it, and more so if you Pushed yourself Harder. You got enough Rest between sets when you feel 80-100% Ready for the Next Set. A few Minutes should be enough, but it Honestly depends if you went to Failure and what Muscles you are Training.
warmup does both, warmup with easier pushup variations or just less reps than failure. Failure is when you can't do another pushup even if you don't give up. Rest until you feel ready for another set. typically 2-5 mins, depending on how hard the exercise is.
To me. Definitely. though I rarely do a cardio warmup. Though it's 10 min via bike to the gym. I do a warmup set. Or many. Often quickly move up through the weight stack with just 5-10 reps per weight. A high rep set as set one is also a good warmup. Saw a vid of Larry wheels trying to pr. He didn't just go for super heavy either. Not only is your specific muscle ready n has more blood you can also guestimate better what you can and can't do. Though it's of course a balancing act. The slower you get towards whatever you wanna do, be that a 1 rep max or just your heaviest set, finally getting 10 reps rather than 9 of x weight today, the higher the chances are you are already tired out. In my experience ( I think 🤔 Greg doucette said it n it was kinda right) after a High rep set of x weight you are good for almost double that weight.
Yes you need a good aamount of blood flow in your muscles which is done by doing cardio-like warmup. Combine this with moving in large ranges of motion to get the plenty of synovial fluid into your joints (and drink water during your session). Once your joints are lubricated, and both your joints and muscles are warm, your body will be more prepared for moving explosively in large ranges of motion. Everyone will benefit from a 15 minute *general* warm-up before moving onto the barbell, something like the old school stuff you do in PE class works very very well, sadly many people are too embarrassed to do simple warm-ups like hip circles, turning your head side-to-side and around both directions, rotating your wrists, elbows, shoulders, cossack squats and bodyweight squats and duck-walks etc. There's even videos on tik-tok of people making fun of older people doing a general warm-up, when really it's the best thing ANYONE can do for themselves to maximise both short-term and long-term performance. Examples include the entire South Korean weightlifting team, Romanian weightlifting team, Russian weightlifting team - under all their systems they make the athletes warm-up together, very basic jogging and stretches until they're all warm before warming up with the barbell. If the best sports' teams in the world are doing general warm-ups, I highly doubt the general warm-up isn't beneficial to their performance.
They don't kill gains. The only time they might have a negative effect is if you do them right after you're done lifting. I usually do my ice baths 20 minutes before working out or on rest days.
ABSOLUTELY. When we say we bench 2 plates, we don't mean we bench 180 lbs (90lbs per side), we man we bench 225, because the bar is 45 lbs. This is how they track it in competitions, so that's why we do it as well.
Brother when i do squats and hacksquats i feel a sharp pain in my lower abs top right to my crotch ive been told this is a hernia coming in i am scwred and havent been able to do squats please help
so i have. question, i do full body all compounds, if i start with bench and warm up and my second exercise is weighted pull ups do i have to warm up for pull ups as well since its a different muscle or am i just fine the entire way?
Well sleep def stunted my growth since i was still growing when i was 14 from 5'3-5'5 and then covid came and i had terrible ah sleep and im still 5'5 now at 17 😢
Guys pls help I think I tore my traps I was doing 80kg shrugs with bending a little so my lower traps can also be Targeted and now I can breathe properly 😢
Got me some serious Ostheochondrosis from heavy powerlifting. Proper form, just poor genetic disposition. Have yourselves looked at if you ever feel a "Tweak"
I tore my right pec on going for a 225 pr on bench despite hitting 220 for a rep. I got the weight up half way then failed with a spotter, then I rested five minutes and tried again and went to snap city. I still got away lucky with a minor tear but I learned you just can’t neglect stretching before heavy sessions and slowing down the lbs on the bar at rpes of 8-9. My recovery felt mentally good but my body didn’t agree with me lmao
Shoulder mobility is actually pretty important for a back squat. Having properly retracted shoulders can be the difference between an upright squat that doesn't stress the low back or having a bent over squat that will destroy your lower back.
Bruh wtf. This is overcomplicated as hell. Just go do the exercises you want to do with light weight (not Ronnie Coleman style) for a few reps until you feel good and then start the working sets
you'll fuck your shit up blindly believing your joints can handle prioritizing low rep ranges and honestly people should stop pushing the idea that you can just "lift heavy" if you warmup good enough or make your form a little better. warming up is not that complicated. form is not that complicated. exercise is quite straightforward and while it has some nuance there is little more to it other than paying attention to your body and responding appropriately. you should not maintain any constant in your training if it is at the detriment to your health. everyone needs to be mindful that they can still get stronger/bigger if they lower weight and increase reps which are a common method of reducing joint and/or tendon pain.

It all starts with one.

I thought I was the only one flabbergasted by bro getting folded like an omelette
I thought I saw a dude die
Doing one rep of your working weight as a warm up is a game changer. Trust me, do it for every movement and then wait like a min before your first set
Heavy walkouts were a game changer for me. For squat warm up, last set is just: load up about 110% of working weight, walk out with it, stand there for a few seconds, maybe do like a 1/8 rep, then put it back. Makes walking out with my working weight feel ezpz and gives me COURAGE and POWAH

the way you get straight to the point and use calamity ost makes ur content an easy 10/10
You're right. There ISN'T anything stopping me from turning my steering wheel into a tree. I know what I'M doing tomorrow.
ur channel says ur only 16yo??
most knowledgeable 16yo i’ve ever seen, great vids
These videos are too good, I really like your content. Keep it up
Thanks for the tips bro!!
Love your editing and narration, thanks for the tips!
I’m glad I started lifting in my 40s. Wish I started earlier but now is the next best thing.
this video is super helpful tysm!
Very useful information, thank you

After herniating my disc while deadlifting and squatting I couldn’t agree more!
Great video! I will definitely have to add the frog pose to my warm up. My hips get refuse to relax. 😅
Excellent video! Foundational strength and stability of the body is so heavily underrated in the weight lifting world and is not talked about enough.

If lifting with no safeties or spotter just don't go for that rep you are unsure of
The calamity osts combined with zoomer editing give me life
This video is MASTER CLASS
That cliffhanger goes hard tho
my biggest fear is my spine getting cracked longways and not sideways. As in for the entire length of it. Like a stick breaking in two
I think the most fucked up thing in 6 years training was that my blood pressure drops, but I have to strength my tendons
i started doing jefferson curls with the bar and progressed to 120lbs for 2x5 in 3 days and my back doesn't hurt anymore when im doing deadlifts lol
Keep it up Bro
I love how every video I click on, the Terraria Calamity music just keeps coming back to me lol
the most important is technique being well done
Bro chose to wake up and speak 🗣️ facts
I really like your animation style
people still following the whole stability means no injury narrative for the longest time
Very important information

DEAR GOD!!!
Do a video on core/abs
The calamity mod music from terraria is goated. Keep posting please 😩🙏🏼
No one needs that many warm ups
id say its the maximum before it actually becomes too much.
ive never been more happy for a channel starting to blow up (i know i say this everytime but calamity music goes hard)
Hi man,
I really Like your content. It really helped me.
Could you please make a "Chest Made simple" Video?

the one he describes in the video doesn't, who the f warms up with 1RM???
My parents:don't lift that much weight!!!
Me with my 0.5lbs dumbbell:
(I do thousand reps and wasting my time too much just for 1 set of exercise)
you make a vid about the difference between strength over size
Please do a video on ice baths and cold showers. Supposedly there are many studies to show that they kill gains
They don't kill gains. The only time they might have a negative effect is if you do them right after you're done lifting. I usually do my ice baths 20 minutes before working out or on rest days.
how to build traps for your next vid?
*looks at thumbnail* yeah say it to my back that got its nerves damaged had to go to surgery
FINALLY SOMEONE SAID IT!!
Another very important part I think you missed is to pretend to act nonchalant for a solid 15 seconds after doing a roll of shame
Quick question do you include the bar weight on your stats (bench press, squat etc)? I'm lifting 100lbs plates so I guess my bench is around 135 lbs ?
Always include the bar!
ABSOLUTELY. When we say we bench 2 plates, we don't mean we bench 180 lbs (90lbs per side), we man we bench 225, because the bar is 45 lbs. This is how they track it in competitions, so that's why we do it as well.

None of my content is monetized
can u stop the screen shaking please im dizzy as hell 😭😭
love ur vids

Worst advice for seniors
Your shoulder rotation gonna do anything for squatting?
For helping getting your hands in a comfortable rack position yes. Bracing, failing safely, progression, and fatigue management come first though
Shoulder mobility is actually pretty important for a back squat. Having properly retracted shoulders can be the difference between an upright squat that doesn't stress the low back or having a bent over squat that will destroy your lower back.
@@richardcaraballo1185 being upright doesnt automatically determine wether a squat will "destroy your back"
