The average gym lifter emphasizes the difficulty of their workout. Elite level lifters evaluate their training based on the effectiveness of the session instead. Let’s explore the difference.

[@brauliosebastianpazperea4709]

Now we need the dr Pak video

[@Reppintimefitness]

I'm almost at 600 on Deadlift

[@vaettra1589]

Jesus is so overweight that he's basically warm and fine after the first couple of sets.

[@TheBrick534]

I've been diving into the ideas of Mike Mentzer relative to my training, and I have to say, there's a lot of merit to it. The effectiveness of the session itself trumps the overall "perceived" difficulty and or intensity of the workout. If you only need 2, maybe 3 effective sets of an exercise to stimulate adaptation, then that's all you ACTUALLY need. Beyond this is minimal gains for even more fatigue build up.

[@BaldOmniMan]

Jesus is absolutely bursting out of the seams of the One Rep man stringer 🤯

[@TheUnholyPosole]

I just remembered you, it's been like 10 years since I last watched one of your videos. Good to see you're still around.

[@TheBrick534]

I haven't recorded and shared any of my lifts consistently for over 3-4 years. I can tell you that my focus and ability to stay in the moment while lifting has sky-rocketed, so much so that I no longer lift with music or any external stimulants outside of black coffee. Not saying this is necessary for all, but for myself, it allows me to REALLY dial in and put all my attention and energy into every single rep of every single set.

[@svmuscle7677]

I think the key takeaway is that training isn't always meant to be exciting or extremely intense, but rather to be used as a stepping stone towards your ultimate goal

[@DCJayhawk57]

Great point here. Once my headphones go in, I'm ready to move. I'll do a brief warmup with some 90/90 bracing, dead bugs, bird dogs, shoulder mobilization with a light band, and then I'm into it. Brendan Tietz talks about being in a "flow state" once you get into your warmups. Be precise, stay focused, and keep moving. I noticed that when I tested my maxes about a month ago, I was even faster than usual warming up (extra caffeine assisted in that), mainly because I was so focused on the goal. Quality matters in bodybuilding just as much as strength sports. I see so much poor training quality at the gym.

[@nmanisbig]

Coming in with a plan and simply executing it sounds easy but goes a long way in making good consistent progress

[@uripatootie7064]

bro I was just watching some stupid ass fitness KZbinr drama content and now I'm watching this video and it's such a breathe of fresh air. I appreciate your attitude toward lifting and stuff (kinda like what you described in the video titled 'I don't care what you leg press' or something), just a grounded and real way of looking at things.

[@btc54723]

I started watching you in 2016 and was going to the gym 6 days/week. Now I only go 2 times per week and lost half my strength. But I still watch every single one of your videos

[@Hunter-gw4qd]

Omar, I just saw a youtube commercial for your brand. So happy for you. I hope the business grows!

[@tohst]

This may be the first time I've ever thought this but that advert should be at the start as a hook for the rest of the video, fantastic

[@Bjorn_R]

Never get tired of your jorts ads. One day when I spread my beefy lats after completing my masters, I shall buy aaaaall the raskol apparel shipping it straight from canada to denmark.

[@Yupppi]

I haven't even paid attention to how I train. I get in with earplugs and have music playing, do the set and sit looking at a timer run and listening to the music until it's time to go again. There's not many people in the gym usually, but I have no idea how they perceived me or who was there. And the phone is only there to use the timer. But I like the sets and I like finding the way to hit the target muscles really well and finding that powerful groove where you just burst out of the hole.

[@GreyException]

The topic of focus and being present is a universally useful skill.. but it’s hard and so individually unique to each person. What are the thoughts that distract us? The thoughts that tell us we can’t do it? Actively trying not to think has the opposite effect. So what can we do? Again I find everyone has their own method. For many it is music. Deep breathing is another. For myself I try to embrace the thoughts I have and saying “it’s ok to have them”. Then I try to think of a rival, or an ex, or something that can emotionally spur me to push further.

[@RoidfreeSenior]

cool, will check these guys out

[@its_james_fitness]

What I learned: im weak lol

[@Reppintimefitness]

[@Fenomenoe9]

Omar I dissappear for 3 years and come back funding you in a zebra jacket. What's going on mayn???

[@stevena8719]

The clam surfaces again

[@Sy4fiqah]

how to do mental preparation?

[@benj1b]

Wait... are you trying to say me yelling "light weight babbbaay!!" Isn't necessary for every rep? 🤔 🤣🤣

[@eternalflames581]

It is super necessary ...😏

[@timo184]

950 lbs is crazy

[@abhistraj4284]

💯🔥

[@bigro4444]

The Long haired king blesses us.

[@drip369]

💪

[@ishanchatterjee1587]

"Hyperbolic" Time Chamber 😂

[@Shaun_meeks]

Omar is the ultimate Toronto Zeebro

[@catedoge3206]

Submaximal IS optimal. Low volume specific lower reps on SBD then bodybuild errything else.

[@Moose92411]

Well shit. Didn't accommodate a philosophical rabbit hole into my evening routine tonight.

[@JivecattheMagnificent]

We gather again, fellow peach bois.

[@Priimerra]

That shirt is something else

[@NikolaTeslaEE]

I would be curious how many reps at each weight. 55lb, 165, 275, 385, 495, 605, etc. Great video, great insight.

[@brendenbowers]

zach telander has a video where some of the footage of them is from, you can get a pretty good idea of how their warm up works.

[@jetsum]

Omar used the picture of the hyperglycemic crime chamber 😜 0:47

[@Moi_81]

Love the zebra

[@Reppintimefitness]

Facts Train Harder Than Last Time is BS 😂 Train Smarter than last time 🧠

[@fk9277]

Im absolutely loving the goatee, zebra print and enhanced cigar tan. You'd fit right in at my local swingers club brah.

[@Jay-mi6qj]

LMFAO😂

[@Egoliftdaily]

40 minutes from bar to a top set of 950lbs on DL... Wow. That's mind blowing.

[@scottb2607]

squat

[@Egoliftdaily]

@@scottb2607 at 1:15 it showed deadlift before revealing the answer of 40 mins. But whatever the lift is, they move up quick. It's mind blowing.

[@axelkutz]

Crazy I been training like this for years. I always been a quality training type.

[@nonobrobro3310]

Omar getting so big he’s turning into a zebra

[@JackgarPrime]

Absolutely. Doing it right, and doing it within the appropriate difficulty is key.

[@nicholasdorsino73]

Pie chart would have helped explain this information better

[@GlassGardenband]

Omar lookin like he just sold in Texas the largest amount of cocaine in the western hemisphere with that outfit

[@danielwahlstromm.d.415]

"laxadaisical" isnt a word my guy

[@seanmoser7478]

F optimal training. Just lift and have fun.

[@fullyactivated]

When you go to the gym, leave your phone in the locker

[@hayesdelezene4590]

Every time I see Jesus: damn boy, he Thicc

[@northbuster290]

Dinosaurs and deadlift.

[@Tom-lk3pb]

All of a sudden I feel the urge for jorts...

[@freakied0550]

*I trained with the world's strongest lifters....and some bro named Zack

[@AcousticFatality]

lmao saying hyperbolic and then showing the hyperbolic time chamber 💀💀💀

[@AudreyYun]

but what if you're training...... FOR THE DIFFICULT ?

[@DaLordIsBack1]

I like the quality of not being obese more tbh

[@kanskesenare2246]

:O

[@tonyporembski4855]

Everything mentioned in this video is standard common sense for long time lifters, lets say anyone over 45. Back in the 80s when I started out in a real gym, no cameras, no headsets, hell no AC, and actually only 2 women. (Now I'm definitely not against women in the gym and actually see more women putting in the necessary effort than the guys but lets face it when a girl is in there with jog bra and yoga pants its a major distraction for most guys). Back to the gym veterans, we know we are in the gym for a specific reason to accomplish a specific goal. I'm not worried about who is watching me or who is filming, I'm not bullshitting for 5+ minutes between sets, I have respect for fellow members and willing to help someone who asks. Oh how I miss the old gyms :)

[@NorseYggrasil]

lackadaisical. No 's' after lack.

[@kapoioBCS]

You forgot: genetics, peds and time…

[@kobemop]

They're natural.

[@kapoioBCS]

@@kobemop haha 😂

[@Solidfreeman01]

But of course we needed damn Dylan Mulvaney on the thumbnail. Delicious. 🤢 She hulk was a delight in comparison and less woke.

[@AkinaSpeedStarsAE86]

nah man; jean shorts are not it

[@Bling92]

All the people yelling and shit in the gym are just limiting themseleves by telling themselves they did enough

[@katflorida8349]

Ok but like why's your face red? This KZbin Omar not channel history no need for all that make up.

[@ImaWreckU]

The warmup speed thing is big. I took ~1000 recently and the bar, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 plate sets took me about 5 minutes total (load bar, rep, rack, load bar, rep, rack, etc no resting/wasting time) then I gave it 5 minutes between each set after. If I spent a while on those early sets too I would've just been tired and not in the mood to perform by the time I got to my top weight. People ought to rapid fire the lighter weights in their warmup scheme and see how good it feels keeping the body moving at a faster pace for sure.

[@HermieMunster]

Another Omar video? It’s like the good old days! Normally have to get my fix from the Iron Culture podcast!
