Best Bodybuilding Exercises For Weightlifting!

[@user-pp5lo5ky4i]

Excellent choice of athlete for back extensions.

[@phil9916]

some say kyriakos is the first winner of the olympics

[@06alepea1]

Back extensions: full.

[@westril4952]

M'bloatlord is, as always, correct in his commitment to back extensions. I did those every other day for a year and my spinal erectors became absolutely bulletproof.

[@aliboy4366]

It would be amazing if you did a video on Kyriakos Grizzly. Memes aside, I would genuinely be fascinated to know what you lads think of his training. He’s definitely the greatest enigma in the world of lifting rn.

[@ericooliveira9693]

Can't believe Fitz didn't say "amortization" once in a 15 minute video about hypertrophy work

[@NoMoTheUFO]

Going to have to try out the back extensions. Reverse nordics are definitely great for our knees and I recommend it. Great choice of exercises that will build the body to be strong.

[@Horus-Lupercal]

Good to know about floor back-extensions, my partner has significant lower back weakness, with no access to any back extension stations/equipment. Cheers lads. The tight crewcut really suits you btw Fitz. 👍

[@orlandoswift7398]

Lads, for an S&C coaches react I would love it if you could check out Johannes Vetter, probably the best javelin thrower currently competing

[@TheJorgeSampaio]

What is the best day to incorporate strict presses and split squats in this 5-day schedule? 1 - Snatch workout + Snatch Pulls + Back Squat 2 - Jerk workout + Push Presses + Bent-over Rows 3 - Clean workout + Clean Pulls + Front Squat 4 - Power Snatch & Power Jerks Rest Day 5 - Snatch + Clean & Jerk + Front/Back-Squat Rest Day Rational is that day 1 and 3 are bigger in volume and intensity, while 2 and 4 are slightly lower to allow for recovery. Day 5 is typically hard af.

[@Yupppi]

This was very interesting to learn. I always thought the knee issues might come from our natural imbalances in lengths of body parts, and in a sport where you're maximizing the performance, your body would rely on your stronger points and causing excess loading imbalance (or cause the knee position to change due to muscle imbalances). I never thought that the tendons get a lot of stress with all the volume and weight. I was also expecting pushups and pullups at least as warmups, just because weightlifters have huge upper traps and even in general population the lower traps are often underdeveloped and "sleepy", not pulling the scapulae tight in place in a stable manner with the serratus anterior. But perhaps that's too much projecting from my personal problems as well.

[@victoriapiper1952]

Enjoyed this video. As a master lifter I would include the standard nordic to keep the knee tight... and bicep curls (various hand positions, focusing mainly on eccentric) to keep the elbow joint strong.

[@Bulbous_Beluga]

After tearing my MCL and LCL, I highly recommend doing single-leg isolation exercises such as pistol squats, single-leg extensions, and single-leg hamstring curls. I tore those two ligaments in my left knee while practicing Jiu Jitsu. After performing the exercises mentioned above, my left knee ended up stronger than my right knee.

[@michiel5160]

Did you only do them for your left leg?

[@Bulbous_Beluga]

@@michiel5160no I do it for both legs. It’s part of my bodybuilding accessories now.

[@nicolaorlando80]

7:00 sikastan secret police on their way to arrest the natural lifter

[@magumi3748]

Excellent suggestions, thank you. I was just thinking about this very thing, which bodybuilding exercises to include and which to skip, so this comes at just the right time.

[@Lameorc]

You mentioned one to two times per week for press but I did not notice how to program the rest of them. Are all of these you want to see in a program once or twice per week? And as usual great video guys. Keep it up and thanks for the content!

[@enriquecerradamartos2893]

The best thing is these would make a great program on their own

[@112358miau]

Lat is an internal rotator.

[@Hjus116]

Excellent video💪🏿

[@traaaaan]

Back extensions, quad nordics (knee tendons, psoas), bb rows (lats), split quats (quad dom vs glute dom), oh press. Great info. Was getting into weightlifting but now dealing with arthritis(gout?) in my knee and toe. Gotta change up training

[@ryanoconnell6617]

Thanks for this lads

[@BO2Letsplay]

8:37 Did Gurph mean the lats are internal rotators?

[@thefreeradical770]

I believe he did. He corrected himself on a later video.

[@matthewturner9184]

10:58 Shoutout to TeethOverNoseGuy

[@ojmay...]

Another great vid lads

[@tomtom-cn7qc]

Great information as always lads ...thank you .

[@Quicez]

How about replacing the barbell row with the pendlay row? What's the difference between these two? Which one is better?

[@Ben-qe8ju]

Straight talking quality content as per. Question about internal shoulder rotation - how important is it? I suffered with impingement for years and weightlifting helped tremendously (perhaps by coincidence, but who knows). Now, my internal rotation is very unbalanced and if I do the classic behind the back, reach for the shoulder blades test, my right hand can’t go higher than my low/mid back before I get horrible cramp in my shoulder muscles. Left hand can touch the bottom of my shoulder blade. How will I know if this is a limitation?

[@petonv8712]

Thank you for this

[@henryhill1604]

I get very intense knee pain after and even during workouts currently. So looking forward to trying out #2 and seeing if it helps. Cheers for this one guys

[@joelmartinez625]

Check out rebuilding Milo book

[@TM-bg8lh]

Is there a difference between floor back extensions and ghd back extensions in terms of benefit or equally as good?

[@NikolasMesserschmidt]

What are some exercises you would recommend for somebody that catches the Snatch more like a Power Snatch? For clarity, I can get in a deep Squat in general.

[@kindathicc1609]

When doing qaud nordics should my toes be pointing into the ground? Or should I straighten my foot?

[@bigengine74]

I see that you're doing the strict press without front racking the barbell on the shoulders. I will try that so I don't have to worry about hitting my chin and having to move my head from my front rack position. Also what do you think of pull ups?

[@Bertone4884]

What bodybuilding exercise would you recommend for us weightlifters who are vain and want to have chesticles, but still maintain mobility?

[@Tom-vu1wr]

Dips

[@jamesbedwell8793]

The Chinese team seem to do a lot of dips, and that doesn't seem to hinder their mobility a whole lot.

[@MrSpicabooo]

Can do any bodybuilding excercise, just keep up with your mobility.

[@DylanFulbright]

@@MrSpicabooo seconded

[@LucasDimoveo]

Just do bench press and work on mobility

[@DredFulProductions]

Too bad I have an absolutely enormous dong. Makes it hard to optimize my bodyweight category while packing this amount of meat.

[@fierce3006]

Great video lads!

[@slajmlord3211]

What physical treatments do you recommend for weightlifters? I feel tight in my upper back and shoulders and stretch regularly. My coach has recommended acupuncture and I'm interested in seeing an osteopath.

[@duncan7961]

Good video. On the quad nordics you two have your feet different, does that matter, is there a reason for it? Or is it just personal preference?

[@aarononon]

When pressing overhead for general shoulder stability and fitness, would you still recommend a barbell or would dumbbells be better? Not sure if I'm right, but my understanding is that dumbbell is healthier for chest press, barbell is best for rows... But I don't know about shoulders

[@richardpeterson4440]

Hahaha I have the opposite problem my best strict press is 110kg and my best jerk is 140. But I compete in strongman so OHP is my jam. Been cross training weightlifting to stop being such a rusty forklift of a person. Any thoughts on the best way to implement weightlifting for strongman? I’ve been enjoying the technical challenge particularly in snatch. Even if my full snatch has yet to overtake my muscle snatch.

[@TheJorgeSampaio]

Add overhead squats to your routine for 6 months. Done.

[@CJFranciss]

Heads up. Lats are internal rotators due to their attachment of the anterior humerus. They are not external rotators

[@pouyankeliddarzadeh7591]

Nice video guys. 🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@matthewshen198]

I like what you said about the lats. But, lats are internal rotators of the scapula, not external.

[@georgedj4937]

There is one study in which they measured upper body muscles sizes, and deltoid came on top, and lats came second

[@GrosseBrueste]

So pull-ups will fuck up my front rack position? Or do I just have to balance it with more rowing movements?

[@iielysiumx5811]

Back extensions are the GOAT

[@albupavel]

did Fitz also lose weight?

[@charlesmulliner]

Can confirm I'd been hammering strict pull ups 3+ times a week and my front rack and overhead has gone to shit.... I think once a week will be enough for now. Any thoughts on whether supinated grip would reduce this effect?

[@miguelmoreno6990]

And what about BTN pull ups?

[@pillmill8987]

You should try to be able to brace the spine as well as extend/flex it. Injury's occur when you perform a movement that the body is not capable of.

[@chillier8363]

Tanks bys

[@dominicniemand2378]

Feels good to see myself benching in this video with Meso 🤣

[@johnbiboudis4339]

That siren is the squat police.

[@aspang83]

Is it just me, or do they live in a neighborhood known for poor squatting practices because I swear I hear the Squat Police every damn episode

[@Tom-vu1wr]

Not full ROM on reverse Nordics?

[@callmeacutekitten8106]

Are cable rows sufficient enough for back work? I personally dont want to hog a barbell as much as possible

[@LBNMKRS]

Three times a day maxing out front squat, snatch and c&j. Just ask Abadjiev 😉😅

[@steveyboyy1]

Lats are actually internal rotators

[@scott-hr3hd]

I would just use a Roman chair with no hyperextension angle.

[@smolboyi]

Why do you think the Chinese do so many btn pullups and dips? 🤔

[@CeroAshura]

I want to train like the stanozolol of the past but nowadays anavar get the chance to dose like those days

[@TinyT0ez]

7:00 coppers came and confiscated Daire’s glasses what a shame

[@5hydroxyT]

i thought we’d see Lu raises for sure...

[@nathancasanova7740]

Best exercises for throwers?

[@DylanFulbright]

I’m just happy I get to do a grizzly workout now

[@bryanwilliamson5109]

Lats internally rotate the humerus.

[@SIickTurtIe]

Who’s the female Olympian at 3:40 ?? I know shit about weightlifting other than the Chinese guy with the lateral raises named after him and the funny, crazy big ass Russian dude.

[@khmak9387]

But aren't the Chinese also notoriously "enhanced"? 🤔

[@mememachine6763]

Everyone is. It's naive to think that only Russia and China are running PED programs with their athletes.

[@124madcow]

Have no interest in weight lifting tbh. Mainly want to do bodybuilding as a natural so this video is great

[@BafroMan101]

7:00 suspicious...they're coming for the stanozolol

[@millsfitness4742]

Every video 🚑 😂

[@sulkoma]

i'd be absolutely massive and way stronger too if i took performance enhancers

[@andrew98115wl]

chest and bi's, bruh!
