New Format! Who had the better lists, Dylan or Zack?

@@ulf. just lift

[@LatimusChadimus]

At least listening to Zack Telander is NOT killing my gainz

[@scrotieMcBuggerballs]

Talk about how weight lifting movements might transfer over to other areas(power lifting, body building, and sport) and how those can help weight lifting.

[@kylejensen461]

Where to buy those sensei sandals

[@marinusdejager41]

This format is literally perfect

[@Arms.Enthusiast]

It’s like a hybrid between sitting in on training and a podcast, it’s a great format!

[@hamm0155]

Chat and lift with Dylan - yes, please more of this series!

[@Oddip]

This video is perfect, exactly the kind of content that I look forward to the most from you

[@mattcooper8403]

Definitely keep this series going. Two of some of the best down to earth weightlifters discussing and training is great content

[@deo.strengthspan.project]

I, for one, happen to love this format. Fun, mellow, casual, friendly. I dunno, it just speaks to me. Two friends, lifting, hanging out, just enjoying. It’s such a good vibe and a nice break from the generally intense high energy presentation of lifting, fitness, and sport.

[@nikolaswirz4022]

1. Squat (atg and paused) 2. Pull-Ups/Chin-Ups 3. OHP 4. SLDL/RDL 5. BB Row

[@robmarsh918]

Nice selection

[@meiji..]

yooo these are the exactly the exercises I train aside from accessories (and I also do dips but this is a top 5 not a top 6 lol)

[@1wisestein]

19:30 concerning the chatgpt comment, I just went on there and asked “write me an Olympic weightlifting training plan” and the result is pretty impressive: Here is a sample Olympic weightlifting training program: Monday: Warm-up: 10-15 minutes of light cardio (e.g. jogging in place, jumping jacks) Snatch: 3 sets of 3 reps Snatch pull: 3 sets of 3 reps Overhead squat: 3 sets of 3 reps Cool-down: 5-10 minutes of stretching Tuesday: Warm-up: 10-15 minutes of light cardio (e.g. jogging in place, jumping jacks) Clean and Jerk: 3 sets of 3 reps Clean pull: 3 sets of 3 reps Jerk dip squat: 3 sets of 3 reps Cool-down: 5-10 minutes of stretching Wednesday: Rest day Thursday: Warm-up: 10-15 minutes of light cardio (e.g. jogging in place, jumping jacks) Snatch: 3 sets of 2 reps Snatch pull: 3 sets of 2 reps Overhead squat: 3 sets of 2 reps Cool-down: 5-10 minutes of stretching Friday: Warm-up: 10-15 minutes of light cardio (e.g. jogging in place, jumping jacks) Clean and Jerk: 3 sets of 2 reps Clean pull: 3 sets of 2 reps Jerk dip squat: 3 sets of 2 reps Cool-down: 5-10 minutes of stretching Saturday: Rest day Sunday: Warm-up: 10-15 minutes of light cardio (e.g. jogging in place, jumping jacks) Snatch: 1 set of 1 rep Clean and Jerk: 1 set of 1 rep Cool-down: 5-10 minutes of stretching It's important to note that this is a general template and it's important to start with light weight and focus on proper form before adding weight. Also, consult with a coach or trainer before starting any Olympic weightlifting program. It's also important to note that Olympic weightlifting is a highly technical sport, so proper coaching and training is crucial for injury prevention and optimal performance.

[@ThaRealSunGod]

Zach this new series is Godly content, so long as you enjoy it please keep.pumping it out! Some faves f the best vids yet and my fav format in YT fitness

[@perfectelectricman]

topic ideas for next ep: - what disciplines/movements from weightlifting should the average gym goer (that trains bodybuilding-ish style) incorporate into their routine? and how should they start? - biggest spine health misconceptions - how do you approach the topic of telling a loved one that you think they should start caring about their health a bit more (diet or basic physical exercise) especially if they suffer and complain from something (bein obese or too weak) but think physical exercise or all that health stuff is "not for them"?

[@LucasDimoveo]

As someone who often finds themselves carrying a lot of items while waiting for or taking the bus, curls have been an immense boon. Being able to hold a static position (like carrying a toddler) while walking for a mile or more is huge. If you’re on an island chances are you’ll have to walk and carry things a lot

[@JinnDante]

Carrying items does not include bicep strength though. Carrying bags or doing farmers walks would be more beneficial.

[@LohJiaHung]

@@JinnDante You carry your toddler like a grocery bag?

[@mariushager9983]

@@JinnDante so you carry your bag or sth so that its scrapping the floor?

[@ChunkyLover69420]

@@mariushager9983 im sorry how big is your bag, or how short are your legs?

[@ChunkyLover69420]

yeah but do a compound movement that hits the biceps as well, doing a curl is just leaving strength you could have on the table

[@soap2421]

YESSSSS IVE BEEN PUMPED FOR THIS VIDEO SINCE YOU STARTED POSTING THE REELS FROM IT LETS GOOOOOO

[@ymmotvstommy]

I need more of this format, for sure. Good topic and simple weightlifting session with a respected buddy. Love it. I wanna hang out with you guys.

[@owenmorgan9154]

This the best vibe I've ever seen in a video. Just 2 guys chilling in a driveway while chatting and doing some training.

[@jacoblatta-morissette1875]

Love this format! How about the idea of having multiple weightlifting federations, having tested/untested and comps with prize money more like powerlifting

[@gregkeener911]

This format reminds me of training with my buddy, just working out and B.S.ing. I love it.

[@WadeStaines]

I absolutely love this format, more please. Also can we get a full version of the intro song on streaming services? It absolutely slaps

[@mortendahl5363]

Yeah, we need this.

[@grimbelfix2648]

Considering the scenario, number 1 would be Deadlifts for me, since i would want something to distract me from being stranded on a desert island and Deadlifts are very fun

[@scottv6726]

Excellent format and content. Adding Dylan and the dynamic back-and-forth brought out excellent training information, gave my brain a workout.

[@holygrahl3530]

Love the format, I’m a strongman fan, so I really want to hear you guys talk about your favorite strongman lifts of all time. I like thinking about your perspective because it’s really different than mine.

[@4Leaf36]

I like this. It's like talking with the boys about who's your top 5 NBA or NFL players. Just shooting the shit in the driveway

[@LatimusChadimus]

Just know folks that watching Zack Telander is NOT killing your gainz

[@bossbabydotone1174]

Love the format and as a trainer, athlete, & massage therapist, how could I not agree with pretty much everything you guys said?!

[@PhysiqueGeek]

Definitely love this format! Keep doing more of these Zack!

[@andrewgirod]

I like this new format a lot. It makes me happy in my heart. ❤

[@TheGudeGym]

I like this format! As a thrower I would rank top 7 in this order and not change if it were only top 3 or 5: 1- Clean and Press 2- Overhead Squat from the snatch 3- Farmers Walk 4- Clean and Jerk 5- Deadlift 6- Push Press 7- Front Squat

[@JinnDante]

This format is nice. Chilling talking lifting.

[@williamkuhn9409]

Love the video, I think you all are missing out on bringing gymnastics movements into the equation. Take a ring muscle up for example, you have a pull and a dip in a single movement, you have hip extension, targets core, and is a high force production movement, you develop lots of speed and power. Also very technical so you are training your coordination as well.

[@g9-9999]

love this format, make it weekly please

[@The17thHunter]

Never comment on anything but I a directed podcast esq conversation whilst lifting with your bro is an immaculate vibe

[@cm_x7235]

This needs to be a continuous series

[@JaleM]

Love it man, I love the selection and the format! One leg movements for the win!

[@jculbert2221]

Fun watch. Zack have you considered talking to Dan John? He likes doing podcasts and seems like it'd be right up your alley

[@1o1ufail]

Been waiting for this for the last week. Glad it’s finally here!

[@MeanBeanComedy]

1. Cheat Curls 2. Low bar squats to almost parallel 3. Sumo deadlifts 4. Hyperlordotic bench press 5. Push press You're welcome. 😎👉🏻👉🏻

[@nathantorres9025]

Please continue this series/video format. Really cool.

[@Klepsterify]

I've been a subscriber for awhile now. I personally, hate watching the training videos. It does nothing for me. I'm here for the humor, the insightfulness, and the hot takes. That being said, I really enjoyed this video. There is something about the constant pontification that made this not only palpable but enjoyable when comparing it to a bro training sesh. Thanks ZT

[@colemichaels8071]

The first minute alone was so good I couldn't help but give a thumbs up

[@MeanBeanComedy]

It's funny because I watched two videos out of order and watched him nail that lift he missed just a few months later! 😎👍🏻

[@tripleextension88]

Please make this 80s intro style a reoccurring theme, I love it!

[@archerjoii3673]

This format is so nice, love the vibe

[@zinoelgato]

Love this style of video, please do more! You both got good top 3, 5 and 7 but I’ll be honest I’ll give Dylan the win on all 3 here 👍🏼😺

[@Dbando404]

digging the new format

[@jtkachlmeier]

LOVE the format. Easy to work along with.

[@strongishguy683]

Because nobody asked me: 1. Farmer walk 2. Turkish Get-Up 3. Pull-up (I'd need a progression because of my built-in weight vest) ----------------- 1. Farmer walk 2. TGU 3. Stone/sandbag to shoulder 4. Bear hug squat 5. Pull-up ----------------- 1. Farmer walk 2. TGU 3. Stone to shoulder 4. Pull-up 5. Front squat 6. Single arm strict press 7. Bent over row Also I'm not a personal trainer, don't take anything I say as advice.

[@JamieIsMyGoat]

It's a sensible list man, definitely needs cheat curls somewhere in there tho

[@BrandonLoewen]

Love the new format

[@robvdent]

Zack took podcasting to another level. Really like this format.

[@bradnaroallen9429]

Im loving the evolution of your content

[@calebsalinas5544]

Love this format!

[@fredrichardson9761]

I see an important trend - I've been trying to improve my bench press but it won't go anywhere so I've been doing dumbbell bench (and pushups to warm up). Overhead press, deadlift, Bulgarian split squat, seal rows, weighted pull ups and occasional front squat - all those are okay. But I'm definitely missing dips which are in the top 5 for you guys - maybe I should switch over to doing those and not worry about a horizontal press. Great video! 👍

[@tripleextension88]

Idea for a future video: you both have mentioned that you are tall lifters. Have a conversation about that, we know that this has been a topic for Zack before, but it would be interesting to hear you two talk about this(and maybe demonstrate it). What are common issues and fixes for tall lifters? What were things you had to change from the common "standard" in order to work for you specifically? I would love to hear a conversation about this.

[@DanielSt444]

Having not watched the ATX video: Maybe he was taking one from those bronze (maybe silver?) era guys that were big into the "Power curl" which was the big cheat curl. Those guys loved doing them.

[@MrCalcio04]

Have been waiting very patiently for this after seeing the clips on insta! Keep it up! Love the content

[@MarianoGrande1]

That's an awsome format Zack! Also that music is dope as hell.

[@teinestokoe2628]

This format is brilliant and such an excellent question to ask as everyone has different answers depending on their athletic background! As a parkour guy and a martial artist, my seven would be... Straight leg rope climbs (weighted) Heavy tire flips (or maybe kettlebell swings?) Hanging leg raises (ankle weights) L sit dips Briefcase lunges Incline KB press (one arm at a time) Single leg deadlifts

[@isaiahranderia3673]

Loves the format 100%

[@josephfuino]

Zack why no weighted carry? They have so much carry over into upper back development, core stability, cardio etc I was thinking for sure you’d add Zercher in there

[@mickeychan2223]

Coolest video ever! Love the format. Cannot tell why , but its chill. Your voices are clear in the yard and the you guys train during the video

[@mickeychan2223]

Its like i am learning stuff from two gym bro secretly while they are training and exchanging information

[@incompetentlogistics]

I love this format! But as for the desert island, you obviously only need one lift: (zercher) deadlift.

[@Lameorc]

A bit late coming onto the hype train, but I love the format. Keep it up!

[@Lucaaz1n]

Really liked this format, it's interesting and dynamic!

[@Cazolim]

Question for anybody experienced who sees this. Zack's top 7 list is almost exactly the list of exercises I do in my routine, split into 2 "full-body" trainings that I alternate between, training 3 times a week. My goal is overall strength and fitness. The only difference is I don't do a power clean, but I do a bench press (sometimes with a barbell, sometimes with dumbells, currently with a barbell). What are the benefits of the power clean that other exercises in the list do not cover? Would bench press or sth similar belong in Zack's list if it was top 8 (9,10)? I am not saying bench press is a replacement for power clean; these are very very different exercises. I just had this routine someone made for me that I was following, and it literally includes the 6 exercises from Zack's list + bench press. May be just a coincidence.

[@mario8833]

I wasn't paying attention to theimages because I was listening while cooking and when I heard "alright folks" I thought this was a Renaissance Periodization video 😂 By the way, the format is amazing

[@mcfarvo]

I think Greg Nuckols also went with a thruster or push press to hit the overhead pressing and some leg/hip drive involved for one of his hypothetical minimalist programs, mentioning how one can tune the strength/power curve of the movement by how much you push with the legs versus overhead pressing

Love it, hopefully it becomes a regular fixture.
