On my 3rd or 4th viewing now. Indispensable knowledge, and hard to believe I had something so essential so wrong for so long. I'll return to these "guide-rules" over and over again. Sully breaks down complex ideas in an original way, making sure you understand them, and he makes you laugh while he's doing this. Wow!

Let's take a moment to appreciate doc's technique. Good tempo, positions, breathing - just perfect. I'm sick of specialists that would snap under a heavy squat.

Excellent info. One thing he hasn't mentioned in the few videos i have seen. Strength training also strengrhens the bones last year when i was 72 I fell 12 feet off my roof. I managed to land on my hands. (Still have good reflexes, not my first fall ) I sprained one wrist! My strengrh training is my work. Stone masonry and carpentry. No more roofs!!!!!!

Thank you for this video!!!!!!!! I'm approaching '62' in a couple of months and enjoying lifting barbells-especially the dead-lift. I'm also on TRT and this has helped me immensely-mostly my emotions. 🙂

Not quite on this topic, but close enough to give me an excuse to ask this question- What’s the difference, from a conditioning perspective, from being able to shovel heavy wet snow for a half-hour (or push a prowler to exhaustion) and being able to run a couple of miles? I can shovel the snow, but can’t run a mile. While I have friends who can run for miles but are exhausted after shoveling for 5 minutes. Both seem to be somehow cardio-dependent. Thanks, and keep putting out these great videos!

@GreySteel Жыл бұрын

They are both "cardio-dependent," but not identical, either physically or bio-energetically. The best conditioning for any activity is the activity itself, as we have noted elswewhere. If you want to run a mile, start by running half-miles. If you want to get good at shoveling snow, shovel snow. There WILL be some crossover, but the activities are different enough that training in one will not be definitive for improving performance in the other.

I have this strong desire to hold my breath for as many reps as I can in the bench and OH press so I can lift faster and use more weight. I picked this up from Jim Wendler. However, on OH press I find I steer getting pretty light headed by the 3 or 4th rep so I think Im going to have to back off the weight and start breathing every 1 or 2 reps.

Great video! Really fun to watch and extremely informative. Now that you have established there is no kung fu / karate/ tai chi / qui business going on, do I have to also stop roundhouse kicking someone in the face between sets whilst wearing my Napoleon Dynamite USA flag pants? Takes the fun out of it a bit but it might stop me from losing my gym memberships I guess.

@GreySteel Жыл бұрын

Actually, I love me some martial arts, complete with kung fu/karate/tai chi/kiai breathing. I do kata after barbells for conditioning. I just don't breath the same way under the bar. :)

Excellent post, thanks very much. I am a 63 year old man and I follow your weight training prescriptions; they are great. But I am most curious- there are no direct bicep exercises (curls, pull ups, etc.). Since pulling something towards us is a natural and frequent movement, I was wondering why this is not included. Your thoughts? Thanks.

@GreySteel Жыл бұрын

We describe bicep curls and rows as _accessory_ movements in our book, along with chins and pullups, but I am constrained to point out that deadlifts (and cleans and snatches) ARE pulling exercises--in fact, they are often collectively referred to as "pulls."

When you take your breath to pressurize yourself do you also have to tighten your abs like you would if someone was going to punch you in the stomach and maintain that throughout the lift? I do well with the breathing technique that you showed but I struggle with knowing if I’m maintaining tight abs. Thanks!

@GreySteel Жыл бұрын

My colleague Noah Hayden loves the "punch in the abs" cue. I don't use it as much, but I do think it can be very helpful.

What’s your opinion on breathing at the top of the press? Barbell Logic/ Starting Strength taught the press 2.0 for a few years

@GreySteel Жыл бұрын

In this video, we kept it simple with press 1.0. The other version of the press, where we breathe at the top and take a bounce off the bottom, is EXCELLENT, but from a BREATHING PERSPECTIVE is almost a different exercise. It is very good for accumulating reps and learning to push your hips forward and to get shoulders under the bar. The SS / BLOC approach to this is endorsed by Greysteel! But for those just starting out with the press, breathing as shown here is the way to go.

@SLouiss Жыл бұрын

@@GreySteel Thanks for the specific detailed answer. I personally prefer the Press 2.0 for sets of 5 & volume training. I like the basic press on strength sets.

@GreySteel Жыл бұрын

@@SLouiss Yep. I do press 2.0 (breathe and bounce) for heavy singles, and "press 1.5" (breathe at the top and bounce) for sets of 5 and 8--which I think are GREAT for the press.

@tsleong1 Жыл бұрын

What if you're doing the slow reps, like Drew Baye and Jay Vincent recommend to keep time under tension?

@GreySteel Жыл бұрын

Dunno. We don't do those, although we do pause and tempo variants, without any need to change our breathing.

There is no Bizzarro, Kung 'Fu, Tai 'chi, Karate, Ki'-breathing, as you lock the bar out with a shout! I was doing it all wrong then...😂

I had hernia repair surgery nearly five months ago and my surgeon, though not a sports MD, told me that holding one’s breath during heavy lifting can exacerbate and/or cause a hernia - due to the increased intra-abdominal pressure. Were they BS’ing me?

@davidpenfold Жыл бұрын

I just started this year's training (it's cold in my garage up a mountain in winter) andy suspected hernia manifested itself from the first squat. I finished, but am dreading some surgeon telling me I can't lift for x months after it gets repaired.

@GreySteel Жыл бұрын

Yes, they were absolutely bullshitting you. We have covered the topic of hernia extensively, and this included an in-depth review of the literature. There is NO dispositive data that shows valsalva under loading causes hernia--if it did, it would be quite apparent that lifters have a high incidence of hernia, along with people who take a crap and have orgasms. startingstrength.com/article/inguinal-hernia-and-strength-training
