What's great about this, of you've been following his channel for a bit, is that you can recognize him putting everything he says to work, when he's doing it slowly and breaking it down I'm like oh yeah, so that's what he was doing. It's cool, entertaining and informative.

Decent = not bad
Descent = the word you were looking for
Me lift weight good not think good
That’s why we watch.
@@mattvena226 Too many squats will give you brain drain.
My deadlift went from a mere 120kgs to 155kgs in a week with this technique. It's crazyyy. Thanks!
I love this format. Very good educational content. Can you talk about tendinopathy: prevention, rehab, post-recovery?
I’m sure this will look different for different tendons, but also I know a lot of tendon issues come down to improper load management and really wild spikes in training intensity, which should apply the same whether it’s a patellar tendon or a biceps tendon.
hey brother, im not an expert or anything, but i had really bad tendon pain in my left bicep for a very long time, i tried stretching it, massaging it, supplements and nothing helped.
then some1 recommended i try doing some super high reps to force blood into the area.
ive only been doing it for a few weeks, but it seems to work! no more tendon pain at all for me! what i do is at the end of my workout i would grab the empty barbell and do bent-over rows until failure, but depending on your strength levels you can change weight. i think you want to aim for a set of at least 40+ reps to really force the blood in that area.
but it seems to have helped tremendously as .... no more pain in my bicep area! yay!
also i did start stretching my pecs a lot more, so maybe that could have also helped? I hear that if one muscle is tight it can affect other muscles that are nearby.
good luck brother, tendon pain fucking sucks
@@geekstomper5562 thank you for this advice man
I hit a 30 lbs PR (355-385) just by doing this. THANK YEW MATT🔥💪🏼
Out of all the powerlifting videos I have ever seen, this is the first one to mention the stretch reflex. I have always wondered why the top competitors quickly get out of position right before starting the lift and now I know. Thank you Matt
Crazy because I’ve been doing this as a habit and had a hard time explaining it to people. Definitely gonna refer them to you, thanks Matt 👍🏾
Absolutely loved this format and I don't think watching it once was enough.
AMONG US
Loving this new video format, the shorts were great for quick info but you really go into depth with these videos. the information you give is really useful to us newbie powerlifters.
AMONG US
7:20 actually you made a good point, certain types of juice are bad for tendons. So it negatively affects the stretch reflex

Why does this man not have at least 500K subscribers?
These longer videos are gold
Please don't stop making these type of long videos,These are very helpful
Aka the hip shoot! Cailer Woolam is one of the best at this
I'm really liking this format in addition to the small 30 second ones. I'm getting great info. Thanks man.
AMONG US
Another great video, thanks. *Do you mind making one on injuries you've sustained and how you managed and/or healed them?* I hurt my lower back on deadlifts a while ago. I'm unable to do a quick descent on squat because I feel like my lower back won't be able to sustain a sudden increase in force (I feel tightness just unracking the bar). Also I know you coach but do you offer 1-time sessions (something like 1 hour call where I can pick your brain)? Thanks in advance
He has a vid on training while injured
@@aditwani6562 I've seen it, I was just curious if he'd wanna share more on his injuries and how they've affected his lifts even years later. I imagine that issue is fairly common among experience powerlifters
AMONG US
Great video Matt! I appreciate you taking the time to break these things down for us, very informative!
Digging the longer video’s matt
Matt, I have been following your stuff for awhile and your style, authenticity, consistently, and intellect have all helped your content really grow on me. Just really appreciate you and your contributions-thanks!
We need more videos like this.(long educational videos)
Really loving these long videos!
Thank you Matt for this incredible video.
Top video, learnt a lot cheers bro
My guy found out how much more long form videos pay hahaha! Anyway, I enjoy the new format because it is a lot more detailed and therefore informative. Thanks Matt!
This is a master class taught by a master.
Very informative thanks a lot
Top quality content 💪🏽🇬🇧
Much information, very nice
Love the video always saw ppl do it and didn't understand why
Yay more long videos
This is a really good explanation. I used to do this for my deadlifts but, I stopped, at least for my first rep. The reason is, that I have to get really tight on my back and core and pull the slack on the bar before i even try to lift the weight so I can start the movement by pushing with the quads, instead of only pulling with the back. If I do the dynamic start, I cant really get as tight as I need to. However, after my first rep, I am already tight and I benefit from starting my other reps with the dynamic start.
For the algorithm!
I love the way you explained this! Thank you

Good SESSION
Was just hoping for a video on this!
I'm a level 92 lifter. Yes, quite admirable indeed. I give this dude two thumbs up. In fact, I have a broner for him. I can't say I disagree with anything he's said (unless I missed something obnoxious). He would make an EXCELLENT coach for an elite family. I wish PL would be in the Olympics and Matt would be head coach.

Level 92?? What?????
Hey Matt, love these informative detailed videos! Can you pls make a detailed video on how to make a powerlifting program for us and especially if we wanna bench or deadlift more than twice a week? How to know know how much weight reps and sets to do?And can you talk about periodization too?
Some of us can’t really afford a coach
AMONG US
can you do a future video about tendon work? i think a lot of us learned in biology/anatomy that tendons are very rigid, like steel cables, and they do not "do work" (meaning, contribute energy). if tendons were stretchy, it would cause delayed transfer of energy and therefore a lack of coordination. it's the same idea as not wearing shoes that are too squishy; you want to transfer force cleanly, with no resistance. a too-stretchy tendon fails to perform a 1:1 immediate transfer of the muscle work applied to it.
but it seems like some people believe that tendons can add some spring energy to a movement. perhaps it depends on the person, the type of lift, which joint/muscle, and their level of conditioning. for example, achilles tendon vs hamstring, quad or biceps tendons.
Very informative
Could you please do a video on lifting weights and longevity/aging? From what you’ve said lifting weights can actually prevent injuries however are there adverse affects to having lots of muscle and the loading/stress on our body etc in terms of life span and how our bodies age? Intuitively to me it seems like there is probably some sort of sweet spot between not being able to squat at all vs. squatting 800lb. Even if your physical structure can handle the lift itself and assuming injury risk is 0, is it really good for you in the long run to be putting that amount of stress on your body any brain and consuming the calories necessary to maintain that muscle mass.....?
Matt is one of the strongest natural powerlifters in the world. Do you think he has such a “mountain” of muscle mass that he has to consume an stressful amount of calories to maintain it? Outside of some extremely rare genetic freak, I don’t think people can put on such an enormous amount of muscle mass, even though I’m trying hard to do it.
This is weird without that UA-cam shorts music u usually have. Good stuff anyways
Just wanted to say your thumbnail says “fast decent” where you wanted to write “fast descent”. Decent is how you describe something you like or think is good 😅 keep up the good work dude
thank you
Matt, these videos are fantastic. I only know you from your shorts on YT, but how do you know so much about anatomy? Are you going to school for it?
Thanks man
I descent slowly when I squat. I'm too afraid to go fast because I feel like I'm going to misgroove and not be able to come back up
Well a fast descent is a skill like everything else, which means it needs to be practiced. Try practicing it with your warm up/lighter sets first and then over time once you get the hang of what it feels like you will be more comfortable to do it with your working sets/heavier weight.
The lift 5:39
Oh this is a banger
algorithm comment, great vid as always
im so confused lmaoo
Stretch reflex = cheat mode for power lifting.
@@badboybs98 nice
I just watched a video of you telling me to do the opposite lol
Hi brother i am watching your all videos from past 8 months approx actually i am injured currently i want to know your opinion about bfr training for legs will they help me to gain or atleast maintain my muscle mass do you ever tried bfr training and what are your experience
Quality information indeed 🫡
Hey Matt, can you do a Video on your Progression Style? I know from your Program Video that you add one rep each week for one training block and then reset your reps again but + 2,5 kg. Based on what do you make that jump? Do you recalculate your training weights (percentages ?) based on a new 1 RM?
AMONG US
Either add reps or increase weight. The Basic overload principle is adding 2.5kg til you cant, then stall and focus on increasing reps, then back to weight, then deload etc.
@@RustyIsScared this is also what i understood so far. But if an advanced lifter would increase training weights like this every three weeks, the average training intensity would probably be like around 80/90% (especially on Benchpress) in a couple of weeks and not like ~75% like Matt does with the high frequency approach. So there must be an approach to increase training weights according to the REAL progress a lifter makes. The only possible way i could imagine, is to test a new 1RM and recalculate training weights accordingly.
@@michaelguggenberger419 no it would not be 90% and im not saying every three but every one week. You start ur cycle at about 60% then you increase every week, eventually you will be at 90% but thats only for a week or 2, then you deload and reset. This is how linear progression works.
@@RustyIsScared i get your point about the linear progression. So you train like for example 60,70,80,90 % in a four week block and then deload. If i add 2,5 kg each block then it would be like 62,72,82,92 % the Block after ,then 64,74,84,94 % and so on ( just as an example) Until the weights get too heavy. All i want to say is, that most advanced people don‘t progress that fast, that a 2,5 kg increase in 3,4 weeks will always automatically fall in the 60,70,80,90% Range.
I tried a more dynamic stary to my conv deadlift today and horribly bruised my shins on my one plate warmup. I will figure it out eventually just hopefully before my shins get too destroyed.
Did you ever figure it out? I'm assuming this was caused by your hips being set too low after your dynamic start which pushes your knees further out and therefore causing you to bang your shins against the bar. Another reason why is because the bar was too close to your shins and should be farther away from you. I say this because I had the same problem as you as my shins would constantly be bruised and tender every deadlift session. I fixed it by doing the opposite of everything above, setting my hips higher in my starting position and having the bar farther away from me.
Hey Matt. I’m competing in my first powerlifting competition in 4 months any tips on how to prepare? Like 2 weeks out do I De load. Do I cut on water to lose weight? Do I eat less carbs etc.
For a first meet, don’t worry about your weight at all. Just stick to your normal diet and macros (and if you don’t have a consistent diet check out some Renaissance Periodization videos). Find a program that specifically mentions peaking for a meet; I know Calgary Barbell has 8 and 16 week programs that peak for meets, but there are a lot of other free programs that do that too. Good luck and have fun!
Don't cut carbs and don't worry about your body weight. And maybe next time get a coach or run a program.
You are a powerlifter, so you train bench, squat, dead. Do you do any other exercise/accessories besides them, and why?
Check his video about his program. I think “my program” is in the title.
5:06
does this apply to the OHP. Should I do a fast descent on them?
yes
Oh, descent
whats your height btw ???you look like 5'10 or 11
He's 5'11
Fantom FTM 😢
When you introduce something new like faster descents, where do you recommend to start progressive overload from (what’s should be a baseline number that I progress from)?
AMONG US
Hi
nice slippies
If you bench, you have to pause but ROM can be a joke.
If you squat, you have to perform good ROM but there is no pause.
Wtf is wrong with powerlifting and why are its rules so idiotic? Love the sport, hate the rules.
1st
No you
Lmao did you mean “descent” and not “decent”
3rd!!!
Not something to INSTANTLY implement. Lot of misleading thumbnails from a guy who does the "lowbar crouch" vs the squat
Low bar crouch 😂😂 never heard that before.matts squat looks good to me 💪🏽
Ok Ryder
