Not totally sure what you’re asking, because I see momentum used in basically every elite lift usually just in subtle forms. You can absolutely build full rom static strength using kipping momentum in training. It’s in my book just a more natural way to train all strength capacities. I’m currently working on by far my most complex and interesting video and have been for the last few months, it will hopefully launch in January. I appreciate the support!

@@darwinianfitness7311 oh. I was asking for static lifts that can't be helped with momentum, or rather that would force static strength to increase. I guess I'll have to take your word on it. And I guess I'll have to make a machine for that to specialise in static lifts. But I wish you a merry Christmas, and a very Happy New Year bro!

Definitely, or a sturdy chair that won’t slide. But you could just a well situate yourself in whatever extreme pose you want while doing this breathing unweighted and achieve a comparable training effect

No

Also it feels like closing off the glottis automatically slightly engages the tva, no?

Doing that sort of perma braces you, or at least primes your body to brace very easily, and might be useful as a training tool. It’s something to play with, but I don’t personally don’t like to use it outside of training. I instead keep my tension dynamic, tensing it when I need to exert strength as I breath and relaxing it when I don’t. My suspicion is that it imposes a stress and can slow recovery if held constantly (it literally makes it muscularly fatiguing to exist). Relaxed glottis breathing also seems vital to recovering stamina and proper healing, so a mix of both seens necessary. Using your glottis in training if you’re not used to it will give you a sore throat, so you probably just fatigued it.

@@darwinianfitness7311 so it should be treated as an exercise almost but otherwise when you’re not working out and just relaxing you’re not incorporating it in and just letting the stomach chill on the porch and hang out? Thanks for replying otherwise I would be still be breathing with my glottis closed 😂

Thank you :)

My general advice is to build up every movement pattern. Like squatting, hinging, spinal extension and spinal flexion in both movement styles (I have a video on the concept of movement styles), and ideally using lifts that involve extreme end range stretches. Things like split squats, wide stance good mornings back extension and leg raises. The exact lifts don’t matter, it’s more so their execution (building compromised stretched positions) and their balance (building weak movement styles or movement patterns)

This really inspired me. Thanks for the support, and I hope you continue to find my videos useful

Thanks for watching bro

Definitely agree, a lot of what I try to cover are ideas that the greatest lifters did unconsciously or had trouble consciously communicating. All the best old school guys seemed to have great development in areas I’d expect from deep breathing under load

The first option. Each style moves towards its name sake as the concentric happens, then resets back on the eccentric

I lost it in the war

@@darwinianfitness7311 which war

Thank You! I’ve only looked into it in a cursory sort of way, but I don’t really e see any advantage to doing it. I think the gold standard for breath work is Emil Zatopek style hyoventilation cardio, and ribcage expansion as described here. Other methods don’t seem to be easily scalable and progressive, nor as intense

I don’t really have any particular advice other the maintaining full nose breathing

The gasping sort of inhale created by narrowing the glottis as the inhale is taken to create a more pressurized stream of air

You’re probably thinking of it as a movement, but It’s really a form of structuring or flexing engagement. You gotta lightly tense it the same way you might flex your arm in place (without actually moving it or locking it at a specific endpoint)

@@darwinianfitness7311 i can tense my platysma without making a frown but they dont look like lizard neck

Lizard neck is just to get awareness of the muscle, it’ll barely be noticeable when incorporated into the breathing properly

Tokyo heat

@@darwinianfitness7311 Thank you.

If you hit me up on Instagram with a detailed description of your issue I’ll help you out

No, you’ll be able to actually inhale, although your intake may get quite small at the most difficult parts of lifts, sometimes to the point of almost no air getting in at all

@@darwinianfitness7311 I see. I asked because when doing deadlifts with this technique (other lifts are too dangerous to try this with for now since my gym has no safeties) I saw I could inhale either extremely little or not at all. I figure this is due to contracted abs which pull the sternum/spine down and thus compress the diaphragm and lungs. So I just wanted to confirm if this was normal, something one would improve over time naturally or a sign something was wrong

@BlindBosnian deadlift is basically the place I notice tension cuts off my breath most prominently, so it sounds normal to me. The important point is that the attempt at the inhale is continuous even if it can’t happen truly. You might find it helpful to practice using calesthenics because they’re much less daunting. Try going to death failure on a set of pull-ups or something using a conventional brace, then try to “rescue” Your performance by applying total concentration breathing. You’ll know you’re doing it right if you can immediately go from complete disabling failure to an additional 5-10 tcb reps

Do it while doing the pigeon pose or frog or while doing the splits

How do you get a boner from this??😂

Sorry to hear that happened, I never saw anything similar in the many people I taught in person, but I’ve updated the description with a warning anyway. My suspicion is that you might be using the wrong form of breath hold, causing you to go unconscious from holding a valsalva unintentionally super hard (which is a very common thing to happen)

I checked out his video on mewing and I think I largely agree with it. I don’t mew as forcefully as the actual Mews advocate for, but I do think a light mew is the ideal default position. That guy seems to argue that the super exaggerated mew might be harmful, but that’s not what I do or advocate for. I don’t know anything else about the guy and his views on posture, but I don’t think people really even need to speculate. It seems to me that my natural posture is shifting more and more as I practice expansive breathing, to what I presume to be the evolutionary norm. That means most people should be able build up their posture from grassroots and not need detailed instruction or top down-methods. That also gets to my critique about most people who seem like Alexander (again, I don’t know anything about him specifically ). The game of whack-a-mole for fixing evolutionary mismatches is usually too insanely intricate to be useful to most people unless some sort of fundamental organizing principle (like expansion breathing) is the main focus. Most people in the “alternative” health space never bother with finding such a foundation, and instead tend to address problems from the top down (much like the Mews’ use of orthotropic devices) These people are able to point out dysfunctions, and even somewhat correct them, but their fiat hyper specific routines are always locked behind paywalls and almost universally fail the most fucked and desperate cases. I view that as a sort of destructive and dogmatic carelessness, and it’s the approach of almost every health and fitness educator I’ve come across. I should also say as an addendum, my suspicion is that most of the valuable facial growth of mewing is probably best achieved by pressurizing the sinus cavities using expansion breathing into the head/face. I think mewing provides some of that accidentally by allowing access to that space, causing some change from mewing and nose breathing under intense exercise, but it’s probably best done consciously if your goal is reversing something like sleep apnea. This is something I only realized was possible recently, but practicing it seems to be very similar to ribcage expansion in the resulting sensations/fatigue and soreness, except obviously localized to the face. My goal was to talk about the concept in a future video after expanding my face into the gigachad meme for a few months, but it might be worth playing with now for your sleep issues.

@@darwinianfitness7311 Thanks a lot for taking the time to check it out and for the detailed response, boss. I'm definitely inclined to agree with you. I have a hard time believing that sleep apnea in lieu of sheer mass weighing the throat down (obesity-centric) is just a regular thing that happens to healthy people, and the way this concentration breathing method brings so much tension to the throat without the intracranial pressure of the valsalva maneuver is pretty profound. May take a while, but I'll let you know how it works out.

No

I really appreciate the sentiment, although I’m sure they’re always be plenty of normies to mog after we made it to the moon

Autists together strong 💪 Thanks for watching!
