Hi Mitchell. I just happened upon one of your videos (more opinion-based) and then I watched 2 more. I really like you. You have a strong moral compass and seem to be pure-hearted and kind.

[@DreynHarry]

you have had a small calculation error in your pythogoras.... 1000 kg/lbs 45° leg press = app 710 kg/lbs in vertical stress. (1000 x sin 45°) 1000 kg/lbs 30° leg press = app 500 kg/lbs vertical stress (1000 x sin 30°)

[@DavidVirtanen]

Interesting

[@Cygnus__X1]

i noticed that too. the weight you move in a 45degree leg press is about 71%. To compare to a squat, it's : (Plate weight + sled weight)*0.707 - body weight = squat weight. This doesn't include balancing and lower back stress though, so in practical terms it'll be a little less. This is assuming you actually bring the leg press down to maximum depth and not that pathetic ego 4inch movement with 20+ plates lol.

[@simonliljeqvist]

​@@Cygnus__X1you are correct, the body weight you dont lift in leg press needs to be subtracted. I start to think tho at 1000lbs leg press that actually amounts to close to 500lbs squat (1000/sqrt(2)-200) if your body weight (waist up) is a bit over 200lbs

[@DreynHarry]

@@Cygnus__X1 IMHO it is impossible to compare if you ask me - if I take me for an example... I press around 600-700 kg in a 45° lep press, but because of structual damages in my lower back and lack of mobility I can not squat more than 120 kg and even this is hard already.

[@Cygnus__X1]

@@DreynHarry Understood with injury. That's why i mentioned balance, lower back, and depth. however it's still a decent indicator of what force you can generate in a squat if you were healthy.

[@Training4Life-q4w]

Nice video Mitch. As I do agree with everything you put out I do have so say I disagree with you on the pull up not being a fundamental exercise. Everyone should possess the ability to be able to pull there own body weight up to escape certain situations. Example, if your stuck in the water you need to have the strength to reach up and pull yourself out. If your hiking and you slip down a mountain and your hanging on the side of a cliff, you have to be able to pull yourself up. I could go on and on, but the point is there are many practical applications that involve the pullup.

[@_mark1]

Good list, esp. happy you added farmers walk. I would remove seated barbell shoulder press and add sled push/pull.

[@QueenToKingOfSpades]

Sled is not good for strength. It’s really not optimal to load maximally, and most people do it at a pace where it just becomes the ghost of a cardio exercise.

[@_mark1]

@@QueenToKingOfSpades Yeah fair enough. How about seated machine pull over then? I just don't feel very inspired by the seated barbell press...

[@jmphydeaux]

@@QueenToKingOfSpades If you're indoors, sled push/pulls become limited by the course set aside. This summer my son and I did heavy sled pushes. We marked off 50' and worked our way up to 360# on the sled. I can tell you I was gassed by 50'. IIRC, it took me ~40 steps to cover 50', so that's basically 20 reps per leg. To me, I definitely felt like I was doing cardio, just w/ heavy weights.

Hey Mitch! What are your thoughts on weighted pull ups?

[@Jmack7861]

Squat, bench, deadlift, OHP, horizontal pull, loaded carry events. Then you could break it down into movements that compliment multiple of the others^: Vertical row, another hinge, zercher squats or deads/atlas stones, and maybe a couple more shoulder movements to possibly mitigate injury risks

[@brettpaterson8042]

I would include lift and carry with heavy sacks, rocks or sandbags, nearly all muscle groups are involved. I substituted atlas stones (They can be rather costly when you get different sizes and weight with delivery costs as well) with sandbags. Enjoying your videos Mitch, good luck with SMOE.💪👏

[@dominikreindl]

11:18 If your calculation is based solely on trigonometric considerations and makes no further assumptions (like body weight, friction, stabilisation etc), this is incorrect. The force acting in the 45° leg press does not correspond to half of the vertical movement - this would be the case with an angle of 30°. F = G · sin(α) = G · sin(45°) = 1/2 · √2 · G ≈ 0,707 G

[@mikemoore2791]

Thnx for this. Its been a minute since I used sin etc.

[@qewr4231]

You make great videos and you are the world's strongest man. You're the man. I am a retired powerlifter. I don't look at the bench press as an exercise. For a powerlifter the squat, bench press, and deadlift are the competition lifts. This is our sport. 1, 2, or all 3 of the lifts. The bench press is a sport specific movement. The exercises I need to do to be a successful powerlifter are squat, bench press, deadlift, and the exercises that help me get stronger in these three lifts. A strongman would probably not do rack lockouts and pin presses off the chest but I have done tons of these to improve my bench press.

[@bradleyboyer9979]

What are your thoughts on power cleans/clean-and-press? They've always been one of my favorites, but I don't know if they have any value for strongman competitors.

[@EliaFeliceFarinati]

[@albietross1288]

The supine French curl seems to have been overlooked. I would also include the bench press over the seated shoulder press. Where is the snatch? And not sure the hand over hand pull should make the list. Love that he included the pendlay row, that’s been one of my staples for 4 decades. It’s a good list with a little bit of a strongman bias. Fun video!

[@Fisher_Munro]

If you are someone who spends a lot of time outdoors, I bet you can think of times that pull-ups represent very functional strength. Covering terrain, like very steep hills or mountains, often involves reaching overhead and hauling yourself up something. Climbing trees. Living an active life in a dynamic world means that sometimes you can't go under or around, and you gotta go over. But I don't think I have a strong grasp of what qualifies as a 'fundamental movement pattern'? That said, for my life, it approximates a functional movement about as well as most of these I think.

[@ghosthero0806]

fundamental movement patterns are the movements the average person can expect to have to do in day to day life

[@amusingautomatons2692]

Climbing trees is no longer a fundamental movement in humans. It's fun, healthy, and good for you - but it also has risks that aren't worth it to the overwhelming majority of humans.

[@jakehanson216]

Id throw in rows or pullups as well

[@bradleyboyer9979]

Agreed. When I played high school football and later when I coached high school football, I was told/told kids to do 4 or 5 exercises and not worry about smaller, more targeted exercises. Squat Deadlift Clean Bench Incline bench Those are a great start and will make you stronger in a short amount of time. Anything after that is gravy. I realize the bench exercises don't work your whole body, but as far as just upper body movements, they're a great place to start.

[@jonathandock8416]

I would also define strength as endurance or resilience of the body in all circumstances of life. In this logic I would like to add the human mind aswel as the heart to continue and stand up again. Discipline can be a strength, kindness can be a very important strength 💪 ❤😊

Great list, but missing a pectoral exercise imo. I personally would keep standing OHP and maybe replace seated shoulder press with a 30-45 degree paused incline close grip bench press, and replace leg press with a vertical pulling exercise, like a neutral or overhand grip weighted pull-up.

[@sandrino1964]

Several of the exercises that you list can't be done at a commercial gym. My suggestions for top 5 overall strength exercises, barbell squats (back squat , paused squats and front squats), deadlifts (deficits and regular deadlifts), standing barbell shoulder press, various weighted pull ups (chins, wide grip etc), and various barbell bench press ( close grip, paused etc).

Just my personal opinion, but I would include some version of power cleans. Perhaps clean and jerks for the most full-body impact. I've just always loved them, they work a wide range of muscles, they are great for building endurance and anaerobic conditioning, and they're relatively simple. Great for explosiveness too, if you're an athlete.

It’s weird how you included seated shoulder press and not bench press. I’d argue you get more muscle in the body involved in bench over seated shoulder press. You use hardly any chest in seated overhead press and you use way more legs in benchpress if you do it right.

[@iknownothingwillingtolearn]

Many Gyms have sandbags (not always that heavy tho), so you could do that in place of the atlas stones.

[@stevenmason-no5lk]

Almost all of those can easily be done at most gyms. Atlas Stones and arm over arm are a bit of an exception. Any alternatives to those?

I don't care about growing muscles, I wanna get and be strong.

[@jakedragon8753]

Instead of leg press I'd pick hack squat, easier to get full depth properly, alot don't get proper depth in leg press for multiple reasons

[@GhostRider1974]

FYI…if the leg press machine is at 45 degrees to horizontal, you are pressing along the slope 70.7% of the weight of the sled and plate weights. A 45 deg triangle has a ratio between the vertical and diagonal of 1 : sqrt(2), where sqrt(2) = 0.7071.

[@GhostRider1974]

*where 1/sqrt(2) = 0.7071

[@djevlhelvete]

1) Could a sandbag be used as substitute for the yoke exercise, like in a "fireman carry", for example? 2) How about incline bench press instead of seated barbell shoulder press?

11:17 leg pressing 1000 lbs at 45° lbs is equivalent to vertically pressing 1000*(sin (45°)) ~ 707 lbs. I'm not sure if there's a clear equivalent between squats and leg press as there's many differences.

[@WilliamStonich]

I haven’t watched the full video yet but personally I think the power clean and press should there

[@ora6925]

11:25 Slight correction, your values would be correct for a 30 degree leg press, as the sine of 30 degrees is 0.5 (50%) For 45 degrees, the sine is 0.71 (71%) Leg pressing 1000 lbs on a 45 degree leg press is equivalent to squatting 707 lbs (just in terms of mass moved, the actual movement is of course slightly different, squatting 700 lbs is more impressive than leg pressing 1000)

[@11jerans]

Considering that the body weight of an advance powerlifter doing a 1000 pound leg press is probably over 200 pounds, then the 500 pounds on the bar plus the 200 pounds of the thighs and torsos that have to raised and lowered during the lift, and you get around 700 plus pounds

[@R_iggy90]

I'd say loglift has to be number 1 as it pretty much combines all of the muscle groups, deadlift it to lap row it to chest squat back to standing and overhead press.

[@wiperiser1]

What about c&j and/or snatch? IMO snatch ticks more boxes than deadlifts or squats

[@CRAZYWEIGTH]

Great list, i will add high pulls

[@arnaudjouanin7561]

About the trigonometry thing🧐, the weight you're actually pushing is sin(45°)*weight on the leg press. And for squat, you're also lifting your upper body with your legs, which is not the case in the press so you're actually pushing (upper body weight + barbell & plates). sin(45°) =~ 0.7 Idk how heavy the upper body is, I guess it depends on everyone, but let's say it's ~half bw... So to get an equivalent leg press, just do: (bw/2 + your squat max)/0.7 Have fun messing with that formula 😏

[@pendragon7600]

cos(45) is 1/sqrt(2) mitch, not 1/2. Force of gravity = mg = weight Force in direction of movement = weight × cos(45) ≈ 0.707×weight Not that it really translates proportionally to squat anyway, because in a decline leg press you're also pushing with your back and you're braced against the equipment with no concern of stability.

Going of the limitations a bit when I say I would have included some sort of clean. In the population of gymgoers I think it is vastly underrated and believe people would maintain strength better and have a healthier body if they did some sort of clean with good technique on regular basis. It is more power then strength but you need some power to use your strength.

[@Mr.P.Griffith]

Ask any military member or veteran and they'll tell you, we use the pull up motion a lot. It's normal for us to put our body in places not designed for that purpose. Climbing into windows, over rubble/obstacles, pulling yourself out of harms way.. I guess that's a 1% use case, so you're not wrong when you say it's not useful or a normal to need that strength for the average person. Edit: I just re-watched that section and you said "not useful for me". Which is true, and a non argument.

[@zacharylaschober]

Think the criteria is rather narrow to the idea of simply moving the most weight. Those are demonstrations of strength, and strength is always task specific, but many of those strength tasks expose muscles to narrow ranges of motion and movement patterns and are fatiguing enough in similar ways (plus axial load and cns fatigue) to allow plenty of opportunity to include a few other compound movements. It is a list for strongman... sure... but using examples from day to day life is weird to then include a yoke...

[@semirgj]

You say building muscle is done by moving weight efficiently. Is there an argument to make that moving weight inefficiently would actually make you stronger if you’re not using optimal form? I’m not saying you should do it but just looking at it from a different perspective.

[@michaellynn9763]

I have also been pondering this for a long time too. When I first started deadlifting, I would purposely stand further away from the bar to increase the verticality of my back in an effort to stop my lower back rounding. Little did I know, that's not the best technique and certainly not optimal for power production. Now that I know better - with my feet closer to the bar, I can probably produce more force; however., I have very long legs and short arms so my back is almost horizontal (need to do lots of posterior chain accessory movements), which in simple terms, I suppose would increase the risk of injury. When we are talking efficiency, what things are we trying to balance.

[@jakepatrick6946]

I love the first 9, but I reckon 10 was just to fill a gap because his mind was thinking about SMOE. No way pushing (or pulling with a harness) a heavy sled misses this list over seated press.
