This is old but hopefully you see this. I recently got the glute activation down on the deadlift and i think before I've been focusing too much on the lumbar extension, because i could never feely glutes in a lift. Now i feel my glutes and my lumbar is less extended but it feels slightly flexed. However, overall the lift feels much tighter and explosive and more stable. Would a slight lumbar flex in this be detrimental even if the lift feels solid and controlled?

It's fascinating to me that the powerlifting community is so good at identifying benching & rowing, or OHP & pullups, as opposite movements but they don't apply that same logic to the squat. A squat and a deadlift are pretty close to the same thing - if you did a zercher squat, but you just let the weight hang in front, well that's a deadlift. They're both folding up and then unfolding against resistance. So, the opposite movement would be folding up against resistance. That is, while a squat trains hip, knee, and ankle extension, if we carry our upper body logic to the lower body, we need a movement that does hip, knee, and ankle flexion at the same time. So, you broke down the idea of posterior extension and anterior contraction into squat, deadlift, calf raise, knee raise, and hamstring curl, but I think you just need 2 exercises. I don't know if the opposite of a squat exists though. GHR situp is close, but I think a weighted knee raise is closer.

This isn’t accurate at all. You’re confusing and creating a blurry amalgam between hip extension, knee extension and back extension. You’re not even using correct functional terminology.

When I switched over to low bar squatting a few years back, I ended up doing the opposite, I went from full grip to false grip, specifically because I started experiencing pain in my elbows. Maybe I'll give it another try now, that my mobility has improved.

I’m 61 in July 2024. I’m not a heavy lifter as you can see on my YT channel. I find upper back rounding easier to move the one rep max. I aim for the neutral back. I learnt from SS. 9 months ago at time of writing this, I started a new job and suffered from lower back pain (flawed vertebrae according to physio). Pulling with “perfect” form has limited my ability to lift heavy. I’m going to go back to rounded upper back.

Your squat rack position video changed my squat. I changed to more active position, took a bit wider grip. Im 184cm also with a long arms and the wider grip made back activating so much better. And that made my whole body to be tighter and more stable. Thank you sir.

Blood flow to muscles seems to make sense. I wonder if a light/ medium intensity of maybe 15-20min of cardio after a workout would improve that and make a difference?
@BrendanTietz5 күн бұрын
Yes I think it does but I usually opt for 10 minutes. Helps flush the free radicals too. Blood doesn’t circulate the way people believe in a fast linear sense and ensuring blood is always being pushed is key. The main reason diabetics lose their limbs is because of blood pooling due to high inflammation and glucose issues. Blood flow is so key for health and growth

I've been taking this same approach to my training lately, but to be clear, are you advocating training of glycolytic or oxidative systems? I haven't been able to find much conclusive on google, but what I've been able to infer is: -recruitment of high threshold motor units roughly corresponds with metabolic system used -1-3 reps would be the best training for type 2x, 5-15 for type 2a, and 20+ for type 1, and those rep ranges roughly correspond with phosphorylation, glycolysis, and oxidate replenishment of ATP -Low rep sets can be good for type 2 and anaerobic alactic effort, but in rep ranges that recruit lower threshold motor units, you still end up recruiting higher threshold as you approach failure -lower rep sets still have benefit because they train how quickly you recruit those fibers, thus a greater neuromuscular adaptation If all of this is correct, do you think it's better to train with multiple varieties of reps in one session or microcycle, or should each system get its own macrocycle? If an athlete was using block periodization, would a hypertrophy phase (assuming it's constructed properly, which is a lot to assume) not already be training their glycolytic metabolism?

The stuff that happened a month ago, it’s better yeah, but it still messes with my mind, a little too much and also a lot of old stuff as well. Do you plan to do more discussions on that topic in future ? During every meditation session it almost feels like I’m meditating in murky waters while trying to fight a white shark

Supersets are amazing. When i do supersets after a certain point both exercises get stronger, especially in the 5 set range. I feel like the increased energy demand triggers a stronger adrenaline response letting me remove some of the nervous system limitations. Doing this i did get a weird tenderness in my underarm kind of around where the pec meets the shoulder, but it went away after a couple of fasts and has yet to come back years later. Next goal is to reach supersets that ascend past supersets, or you could just call them superset 2.
