Yeah for now… do the same strenuous work for your whole career. Not just your little workouts you do after your nonsense desk job increasing shareholder values.

Who the fuck said running is bad for your joints, the human body is designed for running and throwing 😂

Never heard anyone use that term.

…as I’m sitting on my couch with two bandages on my shoulder and the enormous amount of pain killers aren’t doing a darn bit of good, I’m disagreeing with you whole heartedly.

"Orthopedic cost" is a sh*t term. It serves one purpose: To make people fearful/less willing to engage in certain forms of exercise. And maybe this would be warranted if it was accurate. But it's not even close. If you understand load management, or prioritize rest/recovery at all - your body will adapt POSITIVELY to stress. Running - with appropriate rate of change, rest between sessions, etc - will leave your body MORE capable of handling the stress of running. This is why over time you can handle longer runs, and at a faster pace. The same is true for lifting. Or jumping. Physical activity is stress. But biological systems *require* stress for positive adaptation. 👉Send to somebody who needs a reminder #ElectrumPerformance #fitness #gym #running #deadlift #backpain #bjj #sbd

I love the content but the music is too loud 😂

Slow the motion for better gain.

I would love to do more explosive training, but I fear being judged by others

Send to somebody who has this mixed up 👈 Our strength training should be the most EFFICIENT way to improve the hardware on your body. Then, we use any additional energy to actually train our sport. Let's look at 4 crucial ways to upgrade this body 👇 1️⃣ Basic Strength work - yes, even a few elements from powerlifting can go a long way. Intense sets, long rest periods, and compound (multi joint) movements are the way to go. At appropriate dosages, this makes our body more resilient and harder to injure - especially if we emphasize range of motion (ROM) 2️⃣ Power - the foundation for athleticism is a great trait to spend time improving. It's also great for learning to absorb force and prevent injury. 3️⃣ Hypertrophy - that's right, bodybuilding can have a great place in an athlete's program. Don't listen to what soft functional gurus say, a bigger muscle is a stronger one. Isolation is also a BIG tool for addressing weak points. 4️⃣ Conditioning - spend less time sitting out, improve recovery time, and upgrade your gas tank. #ElectrumPerformance #fitness #gym #bjj #jiujitsu #functionalfitness

He's aged farther than I have in a week of training 😳. That's the jedi look after you've been accepted. 😂

It’s me Jan 2nd when I went hard in the paint Jan 1 in the gym!

Im scared to get old 😢

Me getting up in the morning for work.

That looks like 17 years old first week of rebar lmao 🤣 … well that how I was at least

He is recovering from vuu jitsu 40%

This is a crackhead right? 😂😂😂

Bruh please tell me you've seen the Regular show episode where they lift w their backs 😂😂😂😂

Hahaahahaahahahahaah

I live to see mfs say "glassback", prolly the best lifting slang ever

Do you do all 8? First let's get one thing clear - the spine adapts POSITIVELY to dynamic loading. So let's look at 8 ways to do just that 👇 1️⃣ Flexion/extension: Back extensions, reverse hypers, CRUNCHES, toes to bar, Zerchers - we should load and progress these 2️⃣ Lateral flexion: pretty straightforward - a Smith machine makes it super easy, a barbell can be used for those who want a challenge 3️⃣ Rotation: this can occur in isolation (shown on cable) or as an integrated part 4️⃣ Braced: these movements are generally accompanied by less spinal motion, but more load. This is valuable too. 5️⃣ Power: obvious variations include spinal motion, but even the impact of jumping can be a unique stimulus for our discs 6️⃣ Rows: our t-spine goes hand in hand with the scaps. Open that baby up for a tiiiight upper back pump, and your spine will also benefit. 7️⃣ Muscular Endurance: movements like sandbag carries or super high rep back extensions can allow us to train these muscles to produce force for longer durations, allowing them to better protect us in sport or life (if your friends are too cheap to hire movers) 8️⃣ Cardio: this one may surprise you, but there is data that shows increased IVD thickness in runners, and adaptation in rowers. Don't undervalue these activities in back health. 👉Save somebody by sending them this advice! #backpain #fitness #sbd #gym #ElectrumPerformance #bjj #jiujitsu

then it falls anyway and you smash ur face on the dumbells 😂

We get it - it's easy to slap on a brace and pretend you've addressed the issue. But braces have been PROVEN to have no effect on re-injury. You know what does? Lifting weights, and exposing your joints to increasing amounts of stress. They'll positively adapt, and the adaptation will allow your joint support to be BUILT IN instead of stuck to you by some flimsy Velcro. And you don't have to absolutely drain yourself in the weight room for hours to have a beneficial effect. Two short lifts with an emphasis on compound movements will get you on the right track. Want to take advantage of even more low hanging fruit? Throw in a few sets of plyometrics. You don't have to be chronically injured to train jiu-jitsu. It's not some badge of honor, it's a battle you're going to lose SOONER if you don't address it intelligently. Let us show you a better way 🫴 www.electrumperformance.info/teamep-lander #ElectrumPerformance #fitness #gym #bjj #jiujitsu #adcc #ibjjf

If you are doing this for boxing, your form is wrong. If you are just doing it for your core, it’s fine

Omg pobersito 😅

Tbh it does make you slow as u have more muscle on your weight but bruce lee built muscular body while being extremely fast

Stop 🙅 chasing the stability fairy Stability is a *learned* trait, specific to the task at hand. Your nervous system recruits muscles in a pattern that allows you to maintain or change joint angles as you choose. So you want to be stable? Improve the capacity of your muscles to produce force, and to do so quickly. I.e. work to develop strength and power. Even dreaded hypertrophy work 😱 can help with building this capacity! Then *apply* this capacity to whichever specific tasks you care about (jiu jitsu, an exercise, another sport) by practicing that task. *Obvious disclaimer for those who have experienced an injury that limits the capacity of muscles to produce force (and therefore stability) or where lingering pain inhibits the ability of our nervous system to recruit said muscles* 👉 Send to a friend who chases the stability fairy instead of chasing strength, power, athleticism, mobility or conditioning #ElectrumPerformance #fitness #functionaltraining #gym #bjj #jiujitsu

It's looks more like Zercher Dead Lift, not squat

Can this substitute rowing? Or what would be a zercher rowing variation? I have an injured forearm so can't pull much even straps hurt. Thanks!

We'll never claim that physical traits trump efficient technique. BUT anybody who has gone toe to toe with an explosive wrestler knows how much some speed + athleticism AUGMENT that technique. And luckily, these traits are trainable! With the right attention and effort, you can build the explosiveness needed to commit to takedowns and stop being forced to pull guard 🤢 What's needed for athletic power for takedowns: -low load, high velocity exercises -high load, lower velocity movements -power work in all three planes -reactive/"bouncy" power movements -deep range strength work And this month of Team EP has all of these! Not to mention, as you age (past 30) you begin to LOSE some explosiveness and power unless you train it. Why keep guessing and feeling older on the mats?

I'll just do the opposite to feel it in my hamstrings.

Dude what? Squats absolutely are a good hamstring exercise

I didn’t listen to anybody, my hamstrings are sore the day after I squat , I know they work hamstrings.

Wow! Keep up the good work, and thanks for the advice❤😊l

Thank you tor making me rewatch the planet of the apes series

I'm seeing this more often lately 👇 People claiming that certain variations/foot positions in squats will allow you to hit 'more' hamstring. And while this might even *technically* be true, I don't think the hamstrings should ever be a focus/part of your decision making for squats. Why? Because the hamstrings flex (bend) the knee and extend (straighten) the hip. So while they're lengthening at the knee, they're simultaneously shortening at the hip. They essentially don't change much in length at all, so more/less activation of the hammies shouldn't really be a factor for your squat selection. "But my hamstrings have been sore from squats before!" While I know exactly what you're talking about (that spot right under the butt that gets sore when you haven't squatted/lunged in forever) - it's probably your adductors that are actually damaged/sore. Squats are great! Find a variation (or two) and get really good at them! But not because they ever target your hamstrings 🫡 #ElectrumPerformance #fitness #gym #legday #bodybuilding #squat

literally just happened to me...

People avoid lifting with their back and then wonder why they throw their back out bending over to get something. Same thing with people never letting their knees go over their toes.

It was quite hilarious… oh no I don’t like it 😂😂😂😂

😂

Yup. Too much of anything is bad, give your knees and back a break when it needs to.

Yup, the whole "lift with your knees" is for people with short spines. As someone with a literal freakishly long spine my range of movement is very different.

This is the dumbest shit I’ve ever seen in my 24 years of life

Enough of this nonsense myth 🙅 Lift weights to improve force production and prevent injury. Mix in some plyometrics and you'll be FASTER and more powerful. This is the recipe to building an athlete. There isn't a better example than our athlete, Lucas Hulk Barbosa demonstrating his athleticism at Karate Combat (see clip). Congrats Lucas! Let's keep building that engine 🤝 DM us if you want more athleticism 👀 #ElectrumPerformance #fitness #gym #bjj #jiujitsu #adcc #ibjjf

Mussolini, is that you ?

Saw the intro Subscribed straight away

It's true for work. When you're lifting all day with no breaks and you're pushing your joints without the benefit of real muscle exercise, you destroy your back. It's good advice from the generation that actually worked.

yeah only people that never had to lift shit can believe that. Going to the gym is not lifting.
