Inertia

[@cjjohnson9238]

Tom, if only you would write a book, I would pre-order it yesterday. Great video, per the usual.

[@papayama3678]

I second that.

[@usbsol]

+Papayama me too :)

[@Melkyer]

Me too.

[@chrisrobinson82]

Write a book please! I will buy one for myself and one for my brother!

[@pyrel]

applying physics and mathematic principles in the gym really does give you a better understanding and training method.

[@memojimenez5954]

I want to tell you that I like your videos very much. One of the most wonderful things you can do is to generate your information on a global scale. All your short films or videos have Spanish translations. Thank you...I'm in Costa Rica to prove to you that I'm a personal trainer, but my English is still not very good, that's why I'm a coach

[@dontreadmyname4396]

this videos are full of knowledge and things to think about, im glad i found this channel

[@shreyasinha161]

Such a cool explanation to the concept of inertia in resistance training

[@Creamagination]

10:20 thats a lot of diplomas, this guy is the real deal.

[@personaltrainingdotcom4016]

Yeah but with that logic, you might think the number of diplomas or certificates measures the quality of information shared, and hopefully we know by now that's not always the case. The actual information shared, and how well or how poorly it is applied, is what's most important here. -admin

Who was it that said: "Always seek reason over authority?" I love your comment, good job.

[@2525Anu]

is the RTS program available online?

[@NeerajVaswani]

Wow...brilliant. Thank you for explaining the concept in such a simple way yet not taking way from the essence

[@DanielPerez-ks8eb]

Brilliant!! It really is the hidden force!!We all should be aware of that..Thanks for the video!

[@harrisashraff]

This video is Gold. Actually, Fred Hadfield ( Dr. Squat) Really had an understanding of this and he formulated the principles for CAT training. He can actually only squat 830+ pounds when he was preparing to squat 1000 pounds. Instead of using accommodating resistance like using bands or Chains he simply altered the speed of the lifts by accelerating faster throughout the entire range of motion of the concentric portion of the squat. By doing this he was able to manipulate the inertia to mimic the net force output he was about to lift. So without maxing out he was able to train more and finally he was able to squat 1000 pounds.

[@SkepticalDragoon]

Pure Gold as always. Totally hoping for a book.

[@Mikeyjoefit]

Beautifully described!

[@blaiseman94]

Hahaha just shitting in the ACSM..

[@chrisrobinson82]

Thank you so much for this fantastic content.

[@robdiaz6827]

this is gold... why tfk i just saw it 2 years later.

[@idodlek]

I would really appreciate it if you could help me a little bit. I tried to calculate how much force does a muscle need to produce during certain movements, e.g. biceps curl, leg extension, lateral raise (and those are isolation exercises and I could find the appropriate answer because most of biomechanics books calculate forces on isolation exercises). How do you calculate a force of a certain muscle on a compound lift (on squats and deadlift I think it is simple - you measure moment arm from line of force to the joint axis of rotation and times if with the amount of load , but how would you calculate force of the triceps during a bench press or a biceps during a chin-up)?? Thank you in advance!!

Great video. I believe most people cheat (use inertia) because just like in the rowing video the strength curve usually makes the exercise hardest when we are weakest and easiest when we are strongest. Dumbbell lateral raise for example. I have adjusted and started doing them at about a 15 to 30 degree incline my side which because it more closely follows the strength curve I can do them under control.

Gold. Why is this free?

[@ohcomeon1111]

I'm actually shocked you weigh 200lbs lol

[@JulioVelezz]

💪🏼

[@HamzaMahmud]

He does NOT look 200lbs :)

[@personaltrainingdotcom4016]

Watch him on a larger screen - maybe he'll seem bigger -admin

[@buddavis4068]

Stop smacking or take a drink of water. So annoying!

[@personaltrainingdotcom4016]

Did you listen and comprehend the value of the information though?....would be a shame to let your possible misophonia interfere with your ability to benefit from some important info -admin
