I started using lighter weights with more isometric holds after an injury, Appreciate the video.

[@mikewesterdal4895]

Glad you liked it!

[@Criticalbench]

That's fantastic! Let us know how you make out!

[@earthpisces2009]

How were your results

[@DrMJC13]

Thanks for the video. Been looking for something like this and for my age. Keep up the great work

[@alfonsopena4421]

How do you get "tons of hormonal" benefits when isometric holding the weights? How exactly do this get you hormonal benefits? I'm genuinely interested in your answer.

[@angeljrfranco5070]

Very good training guide... i wanna try nxt trip to the gym... much much thank u & cheers

[@Criticalbench]

You're welcome. Stay tuned for more!

[@LiveAnabolic]

Loved spending time with you guys over at the compound! Let's do it again soon!

[@Criticalbench]

You know it buddy!! We finally are releasing your content over the next month or so :) 💪👍👊 Hope to see you guys again. Best wishes to our friends Gary Walker and Joe LoGalbo over at Live Anabolic! God bless fellas

[@mikewesterdal4895]

Awesome having you brother!

[@Criticalbench]

Looking yolked bro!

[@rueridge7597]

Live Anabolic By far best thing to hit this channel

[@LiveAnabolic]

@@rueridge7597 Appreciate that Rus

[@TheCrsco71]

Started working out again. Just hit 50. Hoping in a month or two I will fall on 40, then landing on 30. These exercises should help turn back the hand of time.

[@Criticalbench]

Yes Sir!! U got this David. 👍🏻💪🏻😉

[@tracypritchett]

starting with explosive reps can lead to injury because the muscles and tendons aren't warmed up. i know this because i tore my rotator cuff with explosive reps while cold

[@abdoulayebarry7561]

I like your video very much

[@Criticalbench]

Thank you. Glad you liked it!

[@michelejp69]

At 50 and for a woman who’s in her 35th year of weight training, this is perfect, thank you. 🙏

[@Criticalbench]

You're welcome!

[@earthpisces2009]

Hey I’m 20 years old and herniated my disc 8 months back.The pain has reduced a lot so I’m thinking to start working out.Will this method be helpful in my case?My aim is to have a nice physique.

[@Criticalbench]

The first thing we suggest is getting your doctor or a physical therapists approval to begin exercising.

[@kalanyreynoso8406]

How many sets of each do you recommend?

[@Criticalbench]

3 sets is always a good start. If you're doing the Tri Con sets like Gary instructs, 3 sets should be really effective.

[@kalanyreynoso8406]

Criticalbench ok thanks man

[@hazelduckett2751]

Does this also apply for a woman over 40?? Xx

[@Criticalbench]

Absolutely!! Yes Ma'am

[@XTheSpartanX7]

I use the 4X training by Steve Holman and it’s helped my sore elbows and bad hip

[@Criticalbench]

Thanks for sharing that with us.

[@williambleesjr.7334]

How do you determine how much weight to use with TriCon training

[@Criticalbench]

Begin with 30-50% of your 1RM and figure it out on your own. Make small incremental increases over time.

[@mickduncan3564]

This makes lifting heavy weights seem easy, did my first one today, loved some things and HATED some others my arms were shaking and it burns like hell, hopefully ill get used to it. Got a sore rotator cuff and done my distal tendon couple of years ago (no surgery) so this should be perfect for me, im 45 going on 26!!

[@prathapganesh7021]

Its amazing ...i..tried..my self thank uu veryu muchh

[@Criticalbench]

Cool! How was it? :-)

[@RioGirl16]

I missed it. How many times do you run through each tri-set per exercise? Just once? How many times per week, per muscle group? Thx!

[@Criticalbench]

Generally you'd want to do three sets on a particular exercise with the tricon approach. So that's three sets of nine reps based on what Gary teaches in the video. And then move on to another exercise for the same or another body part.

[@superd0076]

How many sets? What is the body part split?

[@tracypritchett]

why start with explosive reps. the muscles aren't warmed up. this is how i tore my rotator cuff

[@Criticalbench]

Id still have a god warm-up before starting to get rotator cuffed warmed up

[@AHSears]

I typically like the content coming from critical bench, and, I mean this comment in the most positive way, but the way in which many of these exercises are performed are not beneficial for the joints. The principle behind the tri-con set looks usable, but even over 40, we men want to be using stabilizing muscles to increase the strength of our joints. We want our core involved in most of our lifts to keep our muscular development balanced and our core strong. We want multiple muscle groups to be used during our exercises, especially for men over 40 who want to raise their testosterone and gain lean muscle mass. Isolation is for experts, and machines can cause imbalances. Short intense workouts with longer breaks between sets, longer rest intervals, compound exercises and free weights or body weight is optimal for men over 40. Light weight use is fine once in a while, especially for the kind of ecentric training that targets deeper muscle fibers. Of course, a clean diet is where it starts.

[@Criticalbench]

I hear what you're saying and I agree with what you're saying. What Gary's teaching and instructing in this video is to help people specifically men over 40 who have abused their body with heavy weight training for 20 plus years an alternative training approach using lightweight that still helps with muscular growth. This does not mean this is the only way to train for the rest of your life but it's an approach you can incorporate in between all the other exercises that do involve core stabilization, free weight training, etc. This is more geared for the bodybuilder or former powerlifter who still wants intense muscle contraction but does not have to use heavy weights for forced reps.

[@rueridge7597]

Agamemnon Sears Don’t be a douche

[@AHSears]

@@Criticalbench Okay, thank you for your reply, and for clearing up the specifics. Like I said, I usually enjoy your content.

[@mattys701]

Criticalbench what do you recommend for guys in their 40’s that still want to lift heavy build back up to a level of strength that they had in their prime??

[@Daniea3]

Women trainers have been teaching these slow eccentric reps etc for YEARS! Welcome aboard boys. : )

[@pyalot]

Cant tell if this is a bunch of BS or backed by science, care to cite a paper that shows this to be effective? Repeated use of the phrase „take out your core muscles“ and use of machines makes me suspect its a bunch of BS. Go ahead, tell Jef Cavaliere a good exercise is one that doesnt require your core...

[@Criticalbench]

Hey, Gary is an experienced lifter who's trained for over 25 years. This method is simply using a combination of proven weight training and muscle building principles. TriCon is really nothing new, it's explosive, isometric and slow-mo training all in one. Gary's aim here is muscular growth. Also he's not saying to only train this way for life... this is a workout style to add to your arsenal allowing older men an alternative to heavy weights who have achy joints and otherwise lift in pain with traditional weight training. And we don't need Jeff C's approval for our content 😉💪 He does a great job over at Athlean-X. Thanks for watching!

[@mikewesterdal4895]

This video is about hypertrophy (muscle building) not full body training utilizing your core. Many isolation exercises do not use your core. Although I do agree I like exercises that use the core.

[@pyalot]

@Criticalbench yeah I get the idea what you are trying to do, but that isnt the question. There are many ways to reduce weight and perform an exercise, how do you know this one is better than others? Wouldnt you like to know how effective this method performs compared to the alternatives? How it rates for hypertorphy, strengh, joint health, etc.? If you dont know, dont you think there is the real risk of it being anwaste of time you could otherwise spend achieving (perhaps much more) optimal results? Experience is all well and good, but it isnt objective, that is why the scientific method is great, it reduces objectiveness... And sure, some exercise is better than no exercise. But that's not a very good yardstick to beat now is it?

[@pyalot]

@Mike Westerdal IMO exercises that challenge your core whenever possible are far preferrable to ones that dont. Your core being the only thing that connects your upper to your lower body other than 4cm diameter flexible bone structure that has no intrinsic mechanical stability on its own other than directly along its axis. A weak core will leak energy out of every exercise, even out of most isolation exercises.

[@gooddeedsbeatbad2625]

I think he, s showing you stuff that will be helpful to many people. Tooo many people get brainwashed by a particular strength or fitness idealogy. *move & move YOUR" best" is what people should think about.
