Dave: I'll try not to swear.
Dave: ...
There has been scientific findings that people that swear more are more intelligent, This 11 minute video just proves it! One of best basic, plain-jane instructional discussions I have seen in a long time. Thanks elitefts.
This stuff is actually common sense when u think about it
It's common sense that isn't so common. It's really advice that can only truly know is true if you been there done that with HEAVY weights.
“I don’t care where you go with your mind for any max-effort lift but when the fucker starts to stall and stop, you get brought to reality REAL FUCKING QUICK.”
FUCKING PREACH DAVE. Always spot on.
Thanks for paying it forward, Dave.
11 minutes but more content than some 60 minute videos.
This is worth gold
Wish I could train with him to get my powerlifting game up! such a legend, thanks for the information. As a healthcare provider, I feel like you know what you're talking about
Takeaway “teach the body to take a load.”
Been trying to teach that to the old lady for years
@@korydowell965 As Long as the Max Effort was given
Mmm my favorite
at the end of the video you mentioned the GM wasn't a huge carry over when doing singles for max effort work, then said the better carryover was 5's. Earlier you mention that reps at high weight increase the likelihood of injury; therefore are you using the 5's as the main movement or as a secondary or auxiliary to the main movement? If you're using it as a main movement, are you working at specific percent, if so how are you basing this percent?
i didn't know what i was doing called the max effort method .i use it throughout the year on 5 compound movements .i has given me good results .98% of all my training is 1 rep maxes .
He does curse a lot but he’s seems like a fucking nice guy
How do I learn the curse word method?
Start by shouting at the top of your lungs the 7 words you can't say on the radio. Repeat twice once in morning and evening. Then make a conscious decision to curse at the smallest things. Like htting your shin on a bar, or missing reps in the gym you should have got.
By not being such a puss. 😁
Which of the three methods (repetition, dynamic, or max) have you seen may also bring higher diminishing returns over time?
I would honestly say dynamic effort. I feel repetition will have a greater toll on your body over time; especially working with 60-70% of your max. Dynamic effort builds the explosive power youll need when your teying to get your 1RM out of the hole of your squat. Just a thought. Love from chicago 👊
I absolutely love the dynamic sessions. The Max Effort is always fun because it's different but the dynamic is where I feel the most power is really being manifested
Louie Simmons, secretly a genius
True, but it aint really a secret
This is not a condemnation, but people really love to overthink things.
Man. This was kind of common sense
I_Buy Houses I am glad you agree man. Just bust your butt in the gym and eat pretty clean and that should do the trick. No conferences needed
This is for people that want to maximize progress, not just get 80% of the way there
Daniel W. R. Hart nobody that goes to seminars is worth shit lmfao I bet 1% of those people even total over 1500
Great vid
The American flag in the backround completes this.
11:09 it looks like Dave’s fucking bicep diameter doesn’t decrease until about 3 inches above his wrist.
Where is the rest of the video?
Gotta strain! I love it.
Not using these methods is like using a screw driver instead of a drill.
You had lots of hair 😁
PS do a vid on dynamic bench ?
Some confusion for me, if ME day's most important goal is just to learn to strain, why switch exercise? A new exercise may be a lower strain to one built up to already. I thought the switching exercises was to keep progression in ME effort continuing, not just feeling a max strain, so switching exercise made sense.
Probably to prevent overuse as well. While this does help with progression if you were to maximally strain on say competition deadlift every week it would increase risk of injury
It changes the neuromuscular stimulus to keep the adaptive changes happening in the body
Why eliminate the sub maximal ‘strength’ 70-80% range?
He is talking about max effort only. As he stated at the beginning, building strength is the combination of max effort, dynamic effort, and repetition effort. The last one contains work on the 70-80% range.
because we want to build absolute strength
Jesse Roest By Sub Maximal do you mean not going to failure?
ConScriptz submaximal would be doing a double, triple or whatever on a “max effort” day, you’re working on that heavy single aka 90% of your 1rm
This is the problem with the Strength training world.
Shit fuck I am not superman lol....
Are you struggling with 225 in the thumbnail?
Maybe he did 50 reps..... Or perhaps it was dynamic effort and he was trying to as explosive as humanly possible....
@@jacobmcclure4093 If you can rep something 50 times it's so light it's worthless.
If it was DE that doesn't explain the spotters behind him.
maybe these were 100lbs pund plates?
@@craigtitusfitness2249 you stupid bruh
100 pound plates nigga
I never got this. Maxing out 2-3 weeks in a row in 1 variation will only yield neurological adaptations that will go away the moment you stop doing that movement. Its not like youre building actual strength that you didnt have before, youre just learning to utilize the strength you have in that motor pattern. At least thats what i think 🤷♂️
Im not against heavy singles btw. But using them as main top sets every single week doesnt seem smart to me.
@@deadcakesandpanlifts2019 it isnt necessarily done "every week." There are several different ways to program a conjugate type program. Sometimes coaches will program rep effort in place of max effort for several weeks. Or they may completely cut out max effort for a "deload". Or like dave mentioned max effort can be straining by making a sub maximal weight harder....IE tempos, shorter rest periods etc. Hope this helps
@@deadcakesandpanlifts2019 He literally says to not use a max effort exercise for more than a week, and to change the exercise every week...
This is an 11 min clip. To truly understand the method , you would have to go to Dave's site and Westside barbell site read every article written on the subject.
Your not maxing every week. Its 90% or more of your old 1 rep max. Your always lifting heavy, but your learning to handle the load for your REAL 1rm
You mean snap city method?
Not to use the falacy of authority, BUT the experience is worth a lot coming from Dave Tate. I do not agree with everything he says but I bet you haven´t done 90% in a regular basis to be able to talk about it.
I have had a lot more problems with +5 sets even mainteining my technique.
So, if you believe is problematic in any way. Just presents arguments.
I have a huge amount of respect for Dave but he himself has said he’s had a fuckton of injuries, so him doing it does more to prove it’s dangerous than to prove it’s safe.
@@aidanorcuttpowerlifting6854 Powerlifting is dangerous. Any competitive sport is dangerous. If you want safe, then you're looking at being the average gym goer working 20-30 mins a day.
adr1an44 not really. There’s plenty of top level powerlifters that haven’t had nearly the amount of injuries he has had. I have a huge amount of respect for him and his core beliefs on the sport, but to claim something is safe because it’s the way he did it when he was trying to be the best in the world is laughable.
@@aidanorcuttpowerlifting6854 anyone trying to be the best in the world at anything is going to get hurt at some point. It happens. The accumulated fatigue, stress, and effort required routinely takes down world class athletes in EVERY sport.
Some get back up and get back after it. Some retire. Some- if they have the passion for their sport, will go on to coach. But saying that the fact that he got injured in the process invalidates his training methodology is pretty ignorant and close minded. Would you turn down basketball lessons from Derrick Rose just because he hurt himself? Or are you gonna get out there and learn some tips from a former all-star?
I like Tate, but fuck me, these lectures seem so histrionic and long winded at times.
