"He could jerk whether it was raining, snowing; it was on a hill; it was Tuesday and the light was in his eyes; his mom was mad at him; he didn't have his favorite breakfast--he could jerk all the time." Basically just described my entire adolescence. 😆

Hey Robert, thank you for the great content

Robert as a fellow 6ft 7 beast! You are my favourite current strong man

What is is saying about the stance I understand, Fought for a while and I am a southpaw. Now when I do OHP or clean I have this tendency to bring my right foot forward, and I have a way stronger lunge on that side.

Very good information Thanks

That's what I've been trying to tell people for years is that even though you don't have to stretch as long as you exercise but its half of the workout when it comes to better results and way less injuries. A strong core is also very important to have to reduce injury especially low back pain! I became a personal trainer to help show people it's easier to make pain go away and prevent injuries than it seems to be with stretching and prehab exercises, as I gained valuable knowledge through my own experience of having to rehabilitate a few injuries.

Hi Oberst, For novice lifters not training in strongman would you still recommend 5x3 75-80% for strict pressing? and also what would you add to that , e.g front raise, lat raise and how many times a week would you suggest doing shoulders? Would you do them twice a week one session focusing on going heavy and another focusing on reps? Good luck for Jan ! Hopefully you smash the WR

Make a video on clean and jerk; log press in more detail. Great video

Having a real conversation you know how intelligent Robert is!! Big up oberst 👊

great video, great advice, like the old olympic press mouvement in fact ;-) and yes i love your brand , pretty and strong :-p

Martin's Licis made the jerk form work really well for him

He’s right about strict pressing. The Soviets found the same thing regarding clean and press vs clean and jerk (old days). Training clean and press interfered with clean and jerk

The Legend Continues

There is a Russian saying: "To press a lot, you must press a lot." In other words, if you want to press some heavy poundage, you have to do a lot of pressing. That's what I'm planning my training around. Various overhead presses, including jerks and snatches. Anything to build my shoulders and upper body strength.

@alexjohansen1337

4 жыл бұрын

The saying means you must press frequently. As in many times per week you should be doing some sort of overhead work

Your honestly pretty. Love the open mind and help you guys combine to help get amature lift ithusiest the motivation they need to keep adding weight. Strong thoughts for you guys!

Feel the log, accept the log

Strongman is about getting the job done...bigger lifts...no long term survival for just really good among tough competition.

Don't move your feet, it's a waste of time and energy. But don't forget to move your feet, it's efficient and it gives you more drive. Lol.

Awesome

U R a beautiful young lassy n if those meany boys say otherwise I'll go see their dad's 4 u n have a word or twain. Keep strong bredren.

Don't want nothin. Stay cool, big man. You're awesome.

jerk is better as a lightweight strongman. Rob kearney is smaller so he can move and stabilize better than the big guys. Guys like big Z shaw or oberst would not, they’d lose their footing or control. Basic physics, using your whole body as a unit is more efficient than select muscle groups.

When was this recorded? He doesn't hold the American log record anymore, Kearney has it and he used a jerk when he pressed it so his statement that the jerk doesn't work in strongman is clearly wrong.

This guy is funny, he should try out at the comedy store.., oh wait, he did.

bruh the first part is so hilarious if ur not thinking of actually lifting

I like OB, but sometimes he talks out his ass. Rob Kearney regularly uses the split jerk and he used it to break OB's American Log Record LOL

A lot of great information yet does this work only for enhanced lifters who recover much better and faster oppose-to naturals? What works well for an enhanced person will not work so well for a natural is s fact so take it with caution.

Never take advice from and steroid lifter. Steroids change literally everything. I've been around long enough to see the whole game. Dude's on Juice can lift ANY WAY they want, and it makes them big and strong. It's just the juice doing the work. If you lift naturally you'll become over trained, the weights will be too high or you won't get enough work because you'll be too busy recovering from their insane workouts. If you're natural and you want to be strong you need to basically do a really heavy day once every 3 weeks or so. If you do it sooner than that you'll ultimately have a physical break down in some area like getting injured or lose strength from your inability to recover. All the other days you workout need to be 70% type work where you do a bunch of reps and sets and put in the work. If you do too high of a % like a juicer, you'll never recover in time.

@are3287

Gigantic amount of volume will be your downfall if you're a natural. Work hard, intense, yes, but by the time youve done so much volume that you have to take full plates off, you've already overtrained. Enhanced you can do whatever floats your boat, you'll recover more easy from anything

@vinnyvtec8722

Steroids basically just speed up your muscle repair which in turn speeds up growth. In my opinion (like others have stated) as a natty you need more rest so your muscles can repair otherwise you'll constantly be getting injuries. Thats why i dont believe a natty and enhanced should have the same routine.
