17:16 To effectively implement slack pull in the deadlift, should you feel a bit more pressure in your heels, and then shift the pressure to your midfoot when you wedge in? Is that correct?

Depends on the person, but the idea of heel to midfoot is a cue I use for some people

Great video. Essentially let your body go into the positions it naturally wants to be in lol, Seriously the tucking elbows, bending the bar using your lats. Bring the bar low on the body etc thing ruined my form 10 years ago. I managed to get to a 345 bench but looking back I could’ve done much better. I can’t even bench nowadays without my body naturally wanting to bench like a shorter bencher now. I have to be extremely mindful to have a more flared elbow and try take the bar to my nipple line. There was so much shitty advice back then. I even remember tearing my hamstring using the west side squat from where I was loading my hamstrings by sitting back so much. I’m jealous of the info lifters have nowadays

In the past 3 weeks i was feeling like a stuck burp in my sternum when i squat i thought it was due to bracing although i was using the same technique as before; it would bother me on heavy loads then i went to the doctor it turned out that i developed a hiatal hernia ( the normal one ) do u coach have any advice on how should i work around it without it bothering me when am bracing? Because it gives u a feeling like u need to let up ur bracing or ur sternum gonna pop up. 😩

I have a hiatel hernia as well and experienced the same thing. Unfortunately there is not much you can do bracing wise. It’s more so what you do dietary and medicine wise to control the acid reflux.

Would you think it’s beneficial to have ascending RPE sets that taper from 6-4 reps over a 12 week block, if I’m only practicing the Comp SBD once a week? Or would it be efficient to programme top set/back downs to maximise time efficiency in the gym but still maintain muscle and strength during a cut? Aside from the once a week SBD practice, I have a day dedicated to DB press and HB pauses with linear periodisation tapering from 7-5 reps

Bit late to the party, but an interesting thing I found when trying slow eccentric deads - In Japan, The main powerlifting fed here has a rule stating that you have to let the bar down slowly and in a controlled manner - so almost all powerlifters in Japan kinda do slow eccentric work as a byproduct of this. The problem is that over time, we end up developing "technique" for the eccentric portion of the deadlift, and myself and a few of the other guys at the gym found that the position we ended up in at the soft touch was actually not ideal, most likely due to the "technique" we end up developing over time...
@PRsPerformance29 күн бұрын
Interesting. I would guess that is likely due to doing that at high absolute loads, vs being more submax as a skill variation.

Great video. I've been seeing a lot of discussion re: weighted dips, and matching weighted dip form to competition bench form. For example, if someone is a wide grip bencher, very internally rotated with a lot of scapular retraction, they should try to recreate this positioning with weighted dips, Thoughts on this? Understanding that weighted dips might benefit close grip benchers more, is there a way to modify them to benefit wide grip benchers?
@PRsPerformanceАй бұрын
I would not modify the form based on how someone benches. As mentioned in the video, some of the benefit is that variability in movement and not just being stuck in the same wide grip barbell patterns over and over.

I am not a fan, the foot naturally is going to pronate and flatten to allow appropriate ankle dorsiflexion, so forcing that foot to supinate is fighting against that natural motion.

I haven’t personally tried that, as I have had plenty success with other measures. My gut instinct is that I’m not sure you will get anything special out of that, as even light load potentiation can give a 24 hour effect.

On non-specific backdowns: I agree that it can drag out the time it takes to complete a workout, but it also depends on the variation you're switching to. Like going from low bar squats to SSB is annoying, but going from low bar to high bar is a really quick adjustment. Or I can go from comp deadlift singles straight into sets of 10 RDL's with no additional warmup, just pulling off weight.
@PRsPerformanceАй бұрын
Yes agreed, but point 2 still stands. It requires a certain level of consistency and control of external variables to have enough info to make an educated decision on why that would be a better option for an individual.
@maxhallfitness1921Ай бұрын
@@joel5956 I was thinking very similar I probably should have phrased it as “less specific variations” opposed to “non-specific” cause in my head I had things like HB and Larsen bench in this category but they’re probably not “non-specific” Point two does 100% still stand. I would pose the staging that much like how Aiden talks about the concept in the high bar podcast that this may be a very useful strategy to address hypertrophy demands. Immediately after the completion of the primary top set especially on the bench could potentially be the best placement of high fatigue inducing variation work due to it being furthest away from and therefore having the least interference for the next weeks primary top set. Additionally moving the “back down sets” to another day in place of another variation and having them set up as a technique priming day closer to the primary work may be just as useful. I think you could also do either though independent of each other and likely want a strong reason to do so. I do just find the concept fascinating though that for a large population of athletes maybe arguably all with us a community acknowledging addressing hypertrophy being a part of a powerlifters success. However to play devils advocate does the athlete infront of you need this strategy to address hypertrophy or do they just need to push accessories harder and stop sandbagging them and do you as a coach just need to get better at programming accessories lol.
