AMRAPS For Powerlifting?

[@TunnelVisionAthletic]

The production quality of RTS videos is really coming along nicely :)

[@ReactiveTrainingSystems]

Alex Sutton they will only continue to improve if you keep validating the production quality! Seriously though, glad you’re noticing and enjoying it!

[@timk8258]

I appreciate the effort but I find the music playing through the whole video very distracting.

[@zsahe21]

yep

[@jefferylord3068]

when you guys do supinate bicep dumbell curls for purely aesthetic reasons, do you amrap? and mike, do you use tanning spray and whats your fav posing trunks?

[@gwam83]

I like AMRAPs, sometimes you can do a lot more than you thought possible.

[@ReactiveTrainingSystems]

gwam83 that’s a pretty fun reason to implement them!

[@jawadayub6237]

I find AMRAP can be useful when it's capped at certain REP Lower than 10 or more combined with RPE . I think for intermediate lifters it help gauge there's maxes if it's implemented every 5th week or so. In the end it's a tool we should implement with good strategy so it doesn't cause you more fatigue and bleed in to your next block.

[@BLOEDVLEK]

It seems like the answer to every training question is "maybe, it depends" and I think thats ok. As long as you can justify an exercise or its associated volume and its driving progress then there really is no harm.

[@ReactiveTrainingSystems]

Grave Flower it’s also important to pay attention to the response. If you only justify the decision but don’t follow up with tracking the response, then you could miss valuable information for future training decisions.

[@ultra7021]

Weighted Dips and Rdls are the best amrap exercices imo

[@scottwilson4798]

Ultra OHP is pretty fun too for AMRAP work

[@ultra7021]

@@scottwilson4798 it can be, but I feel you dont get much to push with once shoulders give out. It's pretty easy to hit a wall quick doing them for high reps

[@peppers1616]

Thanks for the education. Your insight on the subject of strength training is invaluable and has helped me inmensely

[@ReactiveTrainingSystems]

Thank you peppers, glad you’re enjoying the content!

[@IvanDjuric300]

Alot of bodybuilders train with amraps all the time. Like every set. They get pretty good hypertrophy. U r right, we have moved away from them in powerlifting but i think they have a place. Great vid. Cheers

[@ReactiveTrainingSystems]

Ivan Djuric do You ever use them in your training? If yes, what was your experience with them?

[@IvanDjuric300]

Reactive Training Systems I use them mainly as a test of progress. I do them at the start of every block and use that number to program my working sets for that block. Then re-test at the end of the block to see the progress. Apart from that i stay clear of them. I just think they are tough to recover from. I tend to favour training frequency over individual session volume. What do u think? Is this a good idea?

[@bennygilligan]

Brilliant as usual guys, Mike were did you get your handles for front squats they look brilliant

[@ReactiveTrainingSystems]

Benny Gilligan thanks Benny!

[@RomanKondrachov]

Amraps on bicep and wrist curls :)

[@timetohunt1]

Where did you get those front squat handles. Thanks for all the great information.

[@slobodanlazic2127]

I think he made them by himself, using 3d printer.

[@JJvideoman]

Question: how can I be 27 and still unable to grow a majestic beard?

[@relaxingmusicandvideos7076]

Could be genetics , could be not enough testosterone . Stop watching reality tv shows , that would be my number one tip to raise testosterone .

[@Fake--Natty]

Great info as always! PS.Mirin Mike's biceps veins... 😀

[@ReactiveTrainingSystems]

Fake Natty thank you

[@michaelkarayan6652]

Mike, you’re looking younger and younger every time I see you

[@wrusst]

Good job eli

[@VB-zx1yk]

Wish u guys had more subscribers, your content is always great. Just do a collab with larry wheels and ul get an extra 100k subs lol

[@brotendo]

Music is as loud if not louder than Mike's voice.

[@ReactiveTrainingSystems]

diesel828 objectively, the music is quieter. Though it’s apparent that a few people are finding this to be still a bit loud. That’s fair. Thank you for watching and noticing what we can continue to improve for future videos so we can better communicate our thoughts about training tactics, coaching and powerlifting.

[@brotendo]

@@ReactiveTrainingSystems No problem. Just wanted to chime in so that Mike can be heard easier in the future. Might be my old man ears.

[@ReactiveTrainingSystems]

diesel828 absolutely! We are upgrading a lot of aspects of these videos at once but with your feedback and the feedback of others we will continue to improve future videos so more people can learn and listen without distraction!

[@3terminatorgr]

What is the point of doing a front squat good morning. I don't want to be disrespectful, but I think that FS are used to develop quad strength. The way Mike does them he uses his posterior chain a lot more cause of the forward lean. Why not do LB squats then?

[@michaeltuchscherer9322]

I'm doing FSQ for it's own sake, so I'm just trying to move weight. It's not a back squat assistance movement for me because I'm not back squatting right now.

[@johntrains1317]

Mike always seems half asleep
