Just Trying To Survive (Weightlifting Is Hard)

[@dylanmiller269]

Shaky cam wasn't as bad this time, but I prefer the stationary camera angles when you're doing the lifts. Keep up the great work boys

[@ronnieplumper6047]

Hard not to shake in the presence of greatness

[@blainetoms]

agree. love this, but the stationary 1/2 camera hangouts and just blast are the purest form of lifting companion. where is the driveway zack?

[@Uggabugga0622]

I love the driveway

[@SKTom0]

Shoutouts to Nico power cleaning 100kg cold twice. Absolute mad lad.

Impressed with the Calf raise to get it on the rack. I bet he has the biggest calves out of the 3 of them 😉👍

I’m loving the consistency and content of lift companion recently. The vibes you guys bring into the gym is fire, and seeing your full training sessions are exciting

[@amsub24]

Camera man clean was shocking. Lowkey hella strong

[@NicoFlores]

😂😂😂 Thanks!

[@fabioandrade8476]

This is so much better than the other video. Handheld cam is fine for when you guys are talking and then cutting to the fixed camera for the lifts is perfect.

[@rutgeredwardsvanmuijen1383]

One of the best weight lifting videos I have seen talking about all the little things that go into the sport

[@scottv6726]

Your discussion on adductors and the advantages/disadvantages of knee wraps, all excellent, and have made training points I have heard and witnessed in the past a lot more clear now. Your random discussions in these sessions result in occasional gems that will help someone in your audience. Keep up the good work!

[@samuelsjostrom3058]

Pretty sure I follow the lift companion episodes more closely than any TV show I've ever watched. Top tier content

[@Rocket4ce]

Luv these types of videos! The method and mindset to a session.

[@nuperer]

i could fix my Split-Jerk by watching Dylan

[@adamjohnson5304]

Best part of the day that intro music

[@Zansaldo1]

The music is dope 🤘

[@thom8363]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

[@roxastopher]

hearing all the mobility talk made me really think about just how much oly lifting demands on my body. now i understand why my coach's warm up is so damn thorough, you really do need everything to be firing!

[@christiandavis852]

Y’all’s content is not like any others and I love it

[@scottb2607]

As someone that has beat the drum the last few videos complaining about the camera work, my compliments this time. Much, much better. It's fine to mix in the close up stuff periodically, but the overwhelming majority being close, moving shots was annoying. And the banter with the cameraman was much better and felt less forced this time. It's good to remember Zack and Dylan are the stars but the occasional questions and such worked and flowed this time. Oh, and sweet clean cold (x2) my dude.

[@zacktelander]

yeah we have taken the comments to heart and are trying to dial it in even more. we just shot the last lift companion I think perfectly for you guys.

[@scottb2607]

@@zacktelander That's awesome. Always working on your craft. :) I love this series. It's just so damn good. I click the link as soon as I get the notification. As a shitty CrossFitter that can't do Oly lifting for shit, I just love to listen and try to incorporate the knowledge you drop. And even if I don't learn anything (which I do) it's still entertaining as F.

[@Ronanverbeek]

@zacktelander amazing how you take feedback. I also commented on the camera angles. This is much appreciated. Keep up your good work!

[@johncandler1630]

the consistent content is very much appreciated.

[@charliee7112]

I love these videos keep them coming! Also the theme tune slaps

[@CesarGonzalez-xl7fc]

Thanks for the advise on CNS response and recovery it really got me thinking breaking up my sessions for optimal recovery 👍

[@simonliftstuff]

Great content! The average gym user doesn’t realize how hard weightlifting is and how hard you need to push yourself to even be a mid level lifter.

[@xanderking1926]

I love this new gym guys 👍

[@rageintruths]

Yes/no machine, immensely underrated.

[@TacticalGolfer]

I love this type of video so much as a weightlifter

[@ivi3tnamese]

Thank you for getting into weightlifting!!

These vids are making me wanna weightlift

[@nishanth.f6262]

The loft companions somehow become something I really look forward to. Didn’t gaf about Olympic weightlifting before this…😂

[@gelj065]

Based and Telander pilled

[@g.o.6379]

Dylan is the man! puts up a lot

[@61pwcc]

Zack, Barbell Side Lunges will give you all you need in your Hip Adductors. Probably the greatest lift for the legs that most will never do...

[@kiliabgonzalez7826]

These videos are my preworkout

[@benjaminklein4721]

New to the channel, have already learned so much, no hate, it looks like Dylan never stands up 308. Am I crazy?

[@shogun1650]

308 what?

[@salabukhalil8677]

Did he leave cal strength due to injury?

[@lampshade6319]

Closing thoughts on point

[@lizoffhaus9628]

The training traps comment.... my physique was at its peak in my crossfit days and for a woman I have narly traps from the oly lifting. When I spent time in a regular gym I had no idea why people would stand there and do shrugs. 😅

[@IVIFII2IC]

Are you on the vertical diet?

[@Lwhosane]

What does doing the side to side steps on the belt squat work exactly? I’m so new to Olympic lifting so I’m still trying to figure out exactly how to structure my workouts now.

[@ShawnSchulz]

Hip activation and especially glute mid which is asleep in 99% of the population

[@hoosierboyjames]

would love to get a training session in one day

[@jacobusveeger5641]

These are great! Any reason you're not training at Stonehedge?

[@JuanPalomoM]

I NEED the intro song. PLEASE

[@samoconnor2433]

When your Gallbladder is warm… bars get bent! Remember that kids!

[@TheRavenMaiden]

You mentioned rehab briefly, and I was wondering if you have any advice on how to train while healing from a muscle strain. Thanks !

[@bmstylee]

Looking for some advice. For someone who isn't a competitive weightlifter is it worth buying an expensive needle bearing bar or is something like a Rogue Training Bar sufficient? I'm looking for a WL specific bar. Currently I'm using a Rogue Ohio Bar. If it's worth spending the additional 💲 I'm ok saving a bit longer. Probably looking at the Rogue Boneyard since I have 2 from their already and their rejects are better than what most companies call first quality.

[@Grassybottom]

get a regular olympic training bar, don't need a comp spec barbell for general training

[@mateodiorio7663]

recently I started training with a WL barbell, I can tell you the difference. First of all they are thinner they 28mm diameter so they can isolate as well what is something important for the jerk when it gets heavy enough, they spin a loooot more they can get more momentum. But if you just do it for fun and not for lifting heavy for a competitive purpose you have no need to buy it

[@retardno002]

Had 3 bars so far, my next one is an Eleiko. Don't want to hate on any brands here, the main feature to look for besides spin is the springiness of the steel. That makes a big difference on hip contact regardless of weight. You want a steel that bends but springs back, stay away from power lifting bars and make sure you get a springy one. You can smack it with your hand and check out if it vibrates nicely.

[@nathanmcintire5956]

The training bar is great, unless you're elite you can't tell a difference. It's a great bar, 28mm diameter, good knurling and spin, and as whippy as the $1500 eleiko I lift on

[@nathanmcintire5956]

beats the hell out of an Ohio bar for weightlifting

[@espinozapy]

18:46 is my kind of energy 😂

[@Ulven21]

When should I consider using knee sleeves for the first time?

[@artilleus]

Where can I buy the Lifting Companion theme to play on my way to the gym?

[@TheEternalHermit]

What do you mean 'until you feel warm'? I thought that that was like a metaphor to just mean you have to do it a few times to loosen up a bit.

[@DarthBane-zf8wv]

Good session

[@powderedtoastman6265]

Why do y’all rerack the jerk in the front instead of the back?
