That's great. I'm going to build one for my garage gym. No more tripping over plates!

There's like two different starts and roads even in the "how do I start" category. The almost exclusively discussed is "where do I start when I want to be a first priority weightlifter and dedicate my time and resources to training for the most progress" and then there's the "where do I start when I want to learn the lifts and progress, but I don't plan to become a weightlifter, I learn it to support my main sport, I don't have 1,5 hours 4x a week and recovering from that". Like what's quite common in programming is that fully dedicated format even for a beginner, even though the intensity from the weights is less than if you had relatively high PRs, and it's supplemented with a full day of core work as accessory to build up the work capacity and using the leftover resources. Which is of course quite detrimental if you train something else as first priority like 3x a week, you will not perform in your main thing and you are hard pressed on recovery with that lifting program. You might want to choose weightlifting over powerlifting as secondary just because the loads are smaller and weightlifting is so beneficial to athleticism with physical literacy, speed and power development. And in general weightlifting is a fantastic training method for athletes. There's very few resources for "weightlifting as secondary tool" like minimal dose program, like you might find in strength training programs these days after the study by Dr. Pak for powerlifting, and which is much more common in hypertrophy training for average joes who have a busy life and limited recovery resources. This is not a criticism at the video or weightlifting programs in general (hiring any coach would solve this right away), it's more like voicing out a target audience and group of population that's available to weightlifting content that is not perhaps acknowledged well. And the beginner content is often offering some free snack to people to bite into and get excited, train for a while and realise they really like it and built consistency to training that, it can work for more casual people as well who are into weightlifting but can't dedicate much time to it. You could also easily tweak a basic program for less intensity as an experienced athlete or coach, but the problem with beginners is that they don't know their capacity yet and don't have any idea what is the crucial core in the weightlifting program they can't touch and where they can remove intensity while still improving technique and progressing, just slower. And there's plenty of students and other people who don't have the economy to just hire a coach or join a club to try and have something else taking the first priority, they want to have a touch on the thing and see if they want to invest in it, so I think it would be valuable to have that snack bite like strength and hypertrophy programs (which are good at marking what's necessary and what you can skip if you can't commit or handle as much). A lot of beginners just want to know what they do on monday, wednesday and friday if they can commit to all those days for let's say an hour. Weightlifting is a difficult and demanding sport of course, but weightlifting as secondary for the benefits is somewhat untouched territory outside athlete coaches and the community is a bit focused on committing fully to the sport. I've only seen John Jayne show his weightlifting program as a judoka, but he's an Olympic level athlete and was in his gym focused phase so it's not very relevant, it was more serious than your casual weightlifter's program.

I'm a total noob, but my experience is a bit similar. I totally see why Gabriel prescribes no contact muscle variations for beginners or just about everyone. They feel so good in terms of figuring out where you want your body to go in the lift, a great teaching tool. It's so so easy to start doing stupid things with your hips and cutting things short as you increase the weight and focus on speed thinking that will save you from the heavy barbell. And then you do some no contact muscle variations and remember how it feels when the barbell feels weightless, like it just came up by itself. It really does promote the extension and allows to train the timing, a lot of good things just follow when you have that movement in your backbone.

Really?

Era territorio boliviano donde se pelearon y lo robaron???? Asi dice la historia no contada

Incredible advice. Clear and succinct for someone feeling new to the whole concept

Yes

i’m coached by Gabriel online, had a chance to attend his camp and visit him in his hometown. to be honest i don’t know if there is any lifter that has his technique so well analyzed. Gabriel has every “why” he does lifts his way. a true inspiration and amazing experience. once you really understand his approach, your lifting is hitting another level in terms of understanding.

This is all VERY right. Especially long femured (just the femurs! not the tibias!) lifters experience the *crash* : if you have long legs the bar is higher at the start of the pull, and so is the final pulling height ! you better not extend fully, or the bar comes crushing onto you when you deep (front) squat. We long femured lifters have a harder time recovering from that, even with the "bounce", because our feet aren't "back enough" (tibias are not longer, only the femurs are!) so we must lean forward a bit more - also, our torso is short so the arch must be held over a shorter length and is therefore sharper and also harder to maintain under the stress of the bar crashing on us.

As Cal Hannay says “innn herrr METCCCONNNS” (I can’t see what shoes they are, No Bull?)

I like this very much - timing over extension. This is especially true for any beginner or intermediate lifters!

voice of an angel <3

Yes for the taller lifters!!

Help me please! 😂

❤❤❤❤😂😂😂😂

It’s November 😮

Great video mate. Well great from a coaching perspective anyway as I don't jerk heavy enough these days to feel the whip 😂

What a lifter!!

Love the new set up

you have perfect technique

True

Who are the left and the right and do they represent black and white??? I don’t know!!!???? Let the prize go to the winner. I wish success for you and me.❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉 🎉😊😊😊

Good one

i want to play this game too, my record is 3 singles in a row :(

So good 😊

Great tips 🎉

Nothing but straight gems

Very handy

Fast as fast😂

So what would you consider an intermediate training program? Great video

Very high quality

love the accessories

i needed this.tnx

What a great video

That’s a red person

This is very helpful!

🎉🎉

Keep going love it

always been a fan of Ilya clean and jerk and wondered how he does it, great value

I guessed that these 3 things would be what you mention and I'm happy I got them right :) also he tends to roll the bar forward on his start which is very bad for everyone else . Cool video

KZbin recommended this video to me. It's a good one! I recognised the guy lifting in the Victorian suit. What a stud.

As a person who is coming into lifting through CrossFit I especially appreciate your advice to aim for consistency. I have been sacrificing consistency for speed.

The two plinths are definitely better than plates (I've used plates and yeah their positionning is weird). Thanks for the video, quite informative!

Lol the crying rocking

🎉🎉 so good, number 3 sounds like it would help

Interesting video.

What was that alarm going off?. If I may ask.

I'm doing this sequence and is helping me a lot! thx

Coming from powerlifting where the orthodoxy is 'you do you for your body and levers', the really prescriptive weightlifting 'this is how everyone MUST lift regardless of biomechanics' attitude seems very strange. I wonder if it has to do with these country-specific training orthodoxies that are prevalent in weightlifting where evidenced-based lifting has not seemed to have reached every corner of the community yet. E.g., if you're a Turkish lifter you have to lift like a Turkish lifter regardless of if that very forward snatch technique is biomechanically optimal. Obviously not all, or even most, coaches are like that, but you see it a lot online.
