You can explain concepts in 2 minutes that are worth a 20 minute video. And they all make intuitive sense. As if I've always known them. New favourite channel
Love your stuff man. You and Grant Fowler are probably my two favourite people to follow. You've both helped me fill in some blanks when it comes to training, well really you made me realise they aren't blanks, rather arbitrary "rules" that don't serve me anyway!
Yeah, so you can program certain days with a few of those lifts instead of the big ones if you feel it’s necessary. He’s just saying you don’t have to cram them all in the same day
Good info. I am recreational lifter who is still learning but this makes sense for professional athletes and improving their performance. I like your videos, short, concise and to the point.
Good points but I do believe as we age and want to stay athletic outside of playing a sport or sprinting and Plyos we need to stay injury free and I think doing unilateral work is critical. Split squats are amazing and thinking about spinal compression and how it slows is down as we age is something I believe in, no need to back squat there’s nothing magical about it at all. In addition Soleus training is best done isolated in the gym and think it’s something to keep in your program
Couldn’t agree more! Love your channel btw man. I’ve learned more from you and Joe Defranco than I have from any other strength coach and college course combined.
I've been squatting 2-3x/week since I started lifting seriously almost 2 years ago and am still making progress. It's because I squat for 30+ minutes each time. Haven't touched the leg press. And people call me crazy!
I definitely agree with the argument for focusing more on bang for buck. But dont you potentially see a benefit in aux exercises for means of meaningful accessory work that hits muscles in a different manner than lets say a back squat? or for means of improving rom in specific joints or for health? or would you just hit those aux movements in a more intense manner on a different day depending on the goal?
how would you recommend programming two exercises into one session? for example, if doing 20 minutes of back squats, what kind of exercise makes the most sense to follow? thanks big time for all your insight.
I notice that Nordic hamstring curls are sort of a hot topic right now, maybe you could make some algorithm friendly Nordic videos on variations and and different techniques. For instance pelvic tilt vs no pelvic tilt. I’d also be curious about leg extension techniques and variations for different benefits. Thanks
THANK YOU! this is something i discovered myself through experimenting with my own programming and i've been saying it for months but i was beginning to think i was crazy because i'm the only person i know who only does 2-3 lifts per workout, it seems like everyone else does 20
A lot of what you're saying makes sense if you want to get good at a lift. If you want to get good at benching, you should stick to bench. I think for bodybuilders, some slight exercise variation can benefit them.
I’m 6’1 165 and i want to gain muscle mass and still be athletic can I still use the approach of doing the major exercise and skipping the auxiliary exercises ?
Bodybuilding requires this. 70 years of Bodybuilding is my proof. I've never seen a bodybuilder go into the gym and do one exercise. If you're just a regular person trying to become a beast, I agree with this method. But then you also have to worry about recovery; especially if you're not on the sauce or you're over 40.
You think you're smart, but you ONLY train MUSCLES, but you don't allow your joints and FASCIA different angles and directions of movement. Then you are strong ONLY in the exercises you perform, and when those exercises are few, you are weak in other weighted movements. Great strength for squats, deadlifts, bench press, military press, but with the "offset" method you are as weak as tea... Macebell exercises would lift you with a ridiculous 15kg weight, With 20kg ViPR you would sweat like a pig, etc... Minimalism in exercise is a symptom of not understanding what exercise is supposed to be about.

Thanks man

Thank you, very much appreciated!
What about nervous system fatigue?
Auxillary lifts don't fatigue as much as heavy compounds.
Yeah, so you can program certain days with a few of those lifts instead of the big ones if you feel it’s necessary. He’s just saying you don’t have to cram them all in the same day
Hopefully the algorithm starts showing you some love. All athletes have something to gain from These videos. Keep up the good work.
Interesting. Never thought about this before.

He never said exclude unilateral exercises.
Couldn’t agree more! Love your channel btw man. I’ve learned more from you and Joe Defranco than I have from any other strength coach and college course combined.
Thanks man that means a lot. Defranco is a legend.
This is helpful advice. I needed this, I appreciate it man.
Awesome content always packed with information. Can you make some videos focused on cardiovascular and respiratory endurance?
I've been squatting 2-3x/week since I started lifting seriously almost 2 years ago and am still making progress. It's because I squat for 30+ minutes each time. Haven't touched the leg press. And people call me crazy!
Keep squatting. Leg press is worthless.
Agree, better focus 100% on one/two things instead of putt 20% in 5 things, if we talk about strength performanse
absolutely
but what about "westside barbell" style(dead) with LOT of aux@@willratelle8027
pencil neck - this guy can never be called
good advice for strength not so much aesthetics tho
Don’t major in the minors 🤘🏽
Enjoy the information! By the way do you blink?
Love it.

Yeah I would still do those auxiliary exercises, just in separate days and I would treat them as main strength exercises.
Algo
no doutb
I will die before I give up curls.
Damn your channel is liquid gold
🤝🤝
Let me know when your subscription starts up… great idea
It’s up on TrainHeroic. The subscription is Hoss Concurrent.
If you can do five sets od stepups after squats IT means the squats were weak.
True!
2:02 your advice is always so pleasantly nuanced.
Looking forward for your subscription based model of training!
@Will any news on the sub project?
how would you recommend programming two exercises into one session? for example, if doing 20 minutes of back squats, what kind of exercise makes the most sense to follow? thanks big time for all your insight.

I do have one video I made a while back about the Nordic hamstring curl
ua-cam.com/video/DFZtmk994-g/v-deo.html
That's what i always do, less exercises but more volume , intensity sith them
Excellent point 👍
however the clip attached still don't match what you are saying 😂😂
If you aren't doing alternating curls, I question your reasons for even getting involved in *any* sports, because chicks dig big biceps. It's science.
Love it!! Thank you!! Keep posting !! ..oh yeah ...dont forget to blink !
THANK YOU! this is something i discovered myself through experimenting with my own programming and i've been saying it for months but i was beginning to think i was crazy because i'm the only person i know who only does 2-3 lifts per workout, it seems like everyone else does 20

Love your thought on extra e exercise. POWERLIFTING taught me ,there not necessarily, unless it is a dip and pull up.
you need to do on traning what works for you not what others tell you to do
I'm LOVING the videos. So is it ok to focus on the squats like you said , but also do extra movements to build muscle after ?
Yeah, you’ll need the extra volume for the muscle groups you want to build.
👍
10 sets on the main lift every session 😮
Amen brother, great video
I’m 6’1 165 and i want to gain muscle mass and still be athletic can I still use the approach of doing the major exercise and skipping the auxiliary exercises ?
Do this.

Quads are poppppping g
I love these two minute rants!!
What if I’m training so I don’t get osteo when I’m old?
Just keep lifting weights
Thank you
Did you ever make the subscription thing you mentioned in the video ?
Yes “hoss concurrent” on TrainHeroic
@@willratelle8027 is that on UA-cam or a website ? Got a link?

From my understanding putting on mass to build up your base strength over time is favored by a lot of powerlifters.
You think you're smart, but you ONLY train MUSCLES, but you don't allow your joints and FASCIA different angles and directions of movement. Then you are strong ONLY in the exercises you perform, and when those exercises are few, you are weak in other weighted movements.

Wrong
Oly lifting has been at it. 6-10 sets of 3-5 reps is where it's at. If you feel there's an imbalance- do some extra work on your weakside
100 percent
what percentage of intensity do oly lifters usually train and how often do they train the 6-10x3-5 for the same lift?
