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.

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.

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.

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.

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 😏

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.

@@jayjones120 it's 85x funnier that a KZbin search proves me right. If you deadlift/unrack, bend over and row without floor contact, it's a bent over row. If the bar starts on the floor and resets there, Pendlay row, if you use leg drive, it's a deadlift row. Like how an RDL the bar doesn't touch the ground until you're done compared to a SLDL. Thanks for playing 🤣🤣

@@LatimusChadimus yeah you start with the bar on the floor with it in the middle of your foot in a deadlift starting stance, bar on the floor then explode bar to sternum etc return to floor then repeat that’s pendlay row? I’m confused lol

For someone who’s doing bodybuilding and does Stiff like deadlifts would you count that as meeting the requirement of dead lifting?

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...

Muscle and Fitness seems to be confusing to lifts that can be done heavy. Shrugs, Partial Benches, etc can all be done heavy but are so isolated that don't really build strength. I agree with your list much more for getting Strong.

Subtract the body weight, consider an average advanced powerlifter being over 200 pounds, and you get 500
