3 Tips to Increase Your Powerlifting Total Fast

[@jan-laurens6067]

How is this channel not blowing up?? Big underrated talent here

[@nathanmyronfitness]

Hopefully this will help me reach my goal of: Bench - 140kg Squat - 160kg Deadlift - 200kg 🔥💪

[@fiffo416]

that's a big bench relative to those numbers!

[@nathanmyronfitness]

@@fiffo416 I think I’m closest to hitting my bench target compared to the other two lifts 😂

[@elishaseeber5244]

After a while those other lifts should increase past your current goals for them.

[@BrendanTietz]

Dude strong bench lol! We’re the opposite, when I was at a 200kg deadlift my bench was 100kg lol not even kidding! Keep pushing bro and you’ll get there and then some real quick

[@ekramali5825]

@@BrendanTietz yooo these are basically my numbers right now. Long arm gang

[@silatguy]

I have been a notoriously weak bencher and did a lot of trampoline/bouncing off my chest previously and had hard stalls and too much intensity and failure training. Now im doing 3 main pressing days a week-weighted dip focus, one day strictly floor press because the mid range and no stretch reflex are both my weakness and on my bench day(I do incline) while having long arms. I do light touches(no sinking) with a moderately close grip and more focused on building volume vs pushing intensity and the light touch has helped a ton. Also a relatively close grip translates directly to my OHP and weighted dips. If I go up on those other lifts, eventually there is a cascade to bench anyways. Just focused on front squats for this block so no general input there but my deadlift goes up by doing almost anything so long as im healthy and mobile. When I find stalls in deadlift I might do more front squats or on day 2 do RDLs for volume/beltless which is helping lockout dramatically and gives me more awareness of glutes and staying upright and rigid with my core. I also sometimes do deficits, pauses, band-work, etc. I know its general knowledge but on my weaker lifts or the ones that are less explosive I find staying away from failure and burnout as long as possible while adding volume is one of the most successful approaches for me. You cant be explosive if you are always grinding reps.

Very welcome eddy as always!

[@ekramali5825]

I spent a block doing 10s. Oh my gosh it was the toughest block ever. I deadlifted and went home on my last day of that block.

[@BrendanTietz]

Lmao tbh squat 10s feel way worse to me

[@elishaseeber5244]

Thanks for the subtitles Brendan 👍🏻

[@BrendanTietz]

I got you!!

[@elishaseeber5244]

Really good tips by the way!

[@Michael-kb2il]

Agree with you on the full grip for squat. I used thumbless for years and it worked. Started following the IPF guys like you just said and noticed the same thing, most of them use full grip. Was uncomfy for a while when I switched but found I'm able to keep bar in place much better throughout the sets.

[@BrendanTietz]

Yeah man tbh I couldn’t even imagine doing a set the other way anymore lol just roll city, shit ends up on my traps every time. Total game changer

[@gwam83]

You can tell how passionate you are about coaching, you definetly shouldn't be shy about advertising your coaching man! I'm week 5 into Average to Savage 2.0 and its going really well, but I think / and been told my technique is my biggest limiting factor. When I''ve run through this program I'd be interested on your coaching for sure.

[@BrendanTietz]

It’s my life and I love it! Without coaching and the gym life everything would be a lot more dull for me. Average to savage is good linear program that’s built well for a mass population program. Hit us up whenever and we’d love to have you!

[@CeroAshura]

The variation thing I've been doing for a while for the deadlifts. I pull conventional and snatch grip. The last session I do on my meso has a few sumo primes followed by deload and sub% sumo 3X3 for technical work and then blamo easy sumo PR.

[@elm3adawyzz273]

I love this man, I love it. Thank you so much for all the valuable information

[@elishaseeber5244]

Brendan check out Rumble it's like an uncensored (in a good way) version of youtube. Could really use some fitness accounts on there and it would be another avenue to advertise, you can also make money directly from the app itself.

Thank you tyler!!

You know Brendan really cares about the community cause he literally advertising his “competition”, love the camaraderie that strength sports have 💪

[@randyZ98]

Wow I respect you so much for putting the names of other very good coaches, and my boi Jonnie Candito made the cut. Great video man cant wait for the next one

[@shifter8207]

Candito s 6 week program gave me very good results when i did it

[@randyZ98]

@@shifter8207 yeah I also ran it and liked it a lot

[@Meepoli]

I laughed out loud when you said “just bench more” I’m a fairly decent presser, but pretty average squat and dead, but that’s exactly what I tell people word for word when they ask how to get a better bench press. If only it were that easy for the other two...

[@jikata100]

@@popcornto6032 same story with me man but im 194cm tall and 95kg bw. My bench is 110 with good pause but thats it haha super garbage and i cant move more weight my arms are FREAKING LONG xD.

[@Meepoli]

@@popcornto6032 yeah see your squat and deadlift are not too far from mine, but my best bench in comp is 152.5kg. My posterior chain needs a lot of work

[@Meepoli]

@@jikata100 just bench more! (And probably wider grip but idk where you’re at rn)

[@universalnetwork264]

Squat and deadlift are pretty easy to get up by doing it less often imo. I wish it could be easier to do them regularly which would result in more strength but the CNS fatigue at higher weights as a natural is just too much even if you feel fine.

[@Stalker20S2]

Hey Brendan.....I've been looking forward to your powerbuilding routine....when are you going to release it ?

[@PhyFK8]

This is so good bro. Love a lot of the simple approaches outlined here. Simple and effective

[@jankoskinen3560]

quality as always. 💪🏾

[@davidbaumgard9620]

Sounds like I need to bench more. Sucks that the algorithm screws over channels like this because all of his videos are badass.

[@sarethums]

Im currently on a binge rn

[@xinsanedefeatx]

Funny you say you got the full grip from IPF lifter cause I think of Russ who has an open grip and he’ll literally roll 300kg+ on every single rep. To me it always looks like he lacks shoulder mobility so when he bottoms out his elbows come forwards and the bar rolls towards his finger tips. Seems like such an obvious power leak but hey dude just hit a 1900+ gym total so 🤷‍♂️

[@thehiatusprt]

I hate high bar I always do SSB instead, do you find it a good alternative?

[@HalfJapMarine]

Does strength need to be peaked if you never plan to compete? I am thinking work capacity building might be the best option for those that don't ever plan on doing a meet.

[@samueltyufekchian2815]

I have been sharing your videos absolutely high quality info and love how passionate you are! I changed 3 small things to my bench and increased my max 5kg+ plus in literally one week time because it was all technique faults. I tried going for 50kg tempo with pause, absolute grind instead of being RPE 8 ended up being a 10, to last Friday 50kg looking like a warm-up weight kzbin.info/www/bejne/mnPZeqOHh6mBe9U 1) Your video on how to activate lats the right way. I wasn't activating them as much as I should have and as soon as I started doing it visually how you and Kristin were in the video it was a massive difference from my previous training videos. You can now see the moment I use my lats after unracking. 2) Bryce Krawczyk's video ft. Connor Lutz. They spoke about grabbing the barbell harder with your thumb. Absolutely changed my elbow position and gave an efficient bar path. 3) Thepanash (video is in French) I minimized my unracking distance, just using triceps to unrack, have the barbell in position to press. I moved further back on the bench, the barbell is now around my chin before unracking versus before above my eyes.
