5 Training Strategies That SUCK For Muscle Growth

[@johnengland7505]

Antagonist supersets get you in and out of the gym. They don't work as well when you hit the same muscles in the 2 exercises

[@dannyspitzer1267]

That first method is ridiculous.

[@gilesburnett7377]

How so? New to the gym, so just curious why you say that.

[@SenjiBPD]

4:50 the BFR just above the collar bone/below the jaw should help chest growth.

[@JuanGomezmx]

Regarding time under tension, what about focusing on explosive concentric and slow eccentric movement? I have heard a lot of experts that this is the best way to perform any rep to efficiently maximize time under tension? What is your advice?

[@jevers2010]

Same question

[@СергейНиколаев-б8ж]

Simply the best!

[@roclaren]

How much rest should we get between sets? (In relation to the issue of supersets....) Thanks! Just discovered your channel and I am absolutely blown away - even citing pubmed articles!!

[@macoediv]

how about flexing? do you have a video on that?

[@nickm724]

FINALLY! new background music

[@edwincarter-xo2pc]

ANOTHER GREAT VIDEO BRO✌

[@999blitz2]

I’m surprised BFR is on here. I’ve been doing it for months now and definitely increased in size compared to reg weight lifting. Low weights and high reps until failure with the bands on is OP

[@JackWoodrup]

I am with you. I have been doing BFR for the last four months due to tennis and golfers elbow in my right arm. My arms have grown more in that time than they have in years. It has been a very effective method for me while sparing my elbows.

[@davidlakes5087]

How do you know? Did you only perform BFR on one half of your body?

[@999blitz2]

@@JackWoodrup I truly believe in BFR 💯

[@noodledajuice1114]

Don't be surprised. Not everything someone puts in a YT video is correct.

[@martinjarvie4925]

Now wonder people get confused and end up not starting or giving up along the way add that with various conflicting diet advice gives its all too much !!

[@MassGainingGuy]

Train hard, eat right and stay consistent for life, you'll get in better shape than you ever thought possible!

[@RBKTWN]

Unless you pick what chocolates u want🎉

[@shizuokaBLUES]

Some of us get cheap, sugar laden, low quality cocoa. Others get a box of Godiva, and a few even get handcrafted chocolates each one aimed at your specific, individual tastes. It’s rare that our box changes. We can be lucky our parents didn’t plant Tabasco in them.

[@randallferguson3821]

Occlusion training has been used as early as the 60s for hemi stroke patients for physical therapy once active ROM is regained. Multiple studies over the decades have shown that just AROM with occlusion training not only causes an increase in strength but hypertrophy as well.

[@rickreid7036]

Going to have to disagree with most of these assumptions. The history of bodybuilding has shown us that the guys doing the work and gathering anecdotal evidence were nearly always decades ahead of the "science". If you've used any of these and they seemed to work, then they probably did

#1 - 1:44 Blood flow restriction training #2 - 4:53 Compound sets #3 - 7:04 Compound-only workouts #4 - 8:40 Pre-exhaust training #5 - 10:17 Time under tension training

[@colinriches1519]

Sorry, but have to completely disagree with the last point on deliberately slowing down movements. After breaking my arm I git back into training, but because I didn't want to damage my recovery I did the movements a bit slower (2 seconds up, 2 seconds down). Before I trained like that my biceps maxed out at 15.5 inches. Currently they're nearly 17! Way bigger than they've been before and I'm 41 years old. Quads and chest measurements are all noticeably improved and I'm very slightly less bodyfat now than before the break. I'm not sure whether I've been eating or sleeping better tbh though or if there's something else that I'm doing differently, or just metabolism slowing down.

[@hathlete4ever916]

Oh wow! I totally did not know any of this until I watched this video. Now, I've done 4 out of 5 of these sometime in my past, all except the 1st one. I personally thought that one was by far the worst for sure. Number 4 pre exhaust training was a little over my head and harder for me to comprehend, but if I watch that part from 8:40 to 10:15, eventually I'll grasp on to that. Thank you for this video! 👍👌🤘🦵💪

[@johnoptiZ]

High continuous reps = more time under tension which is an underated technique

[@no_more_free_nicks]

You have the greatest gym actor in the whole world (the one in blue pants).

[@RoidfreeSenior]

Supersets with antagonistic muscles are much better than on same

[@jerrylandrum1977]

Just got back into the gym after a long time, found your videos on here and I rather enjoy them. They are not too much or too flashy. I do enjoy the humor in the character using the Alpha shirt as in Alpha Male :) thank you for making good stuff.

[@far3467]

Back ground music ruins video

[@nicholasingratta423]

Oh no Jeff cavalier hats legs extension he wants your location !

[@JayRamirez-g4h]

He sounds like a robot, couldn't make it thru the video

[@lowtunedg9211]

From what I’ve seen BFR training is more for repair, recovery and increased vascularity, but you have to be careful and do it properly

[@snakejazz]

It's helpful if you only have light weights available as well. This style got pretty popular during the covid lockdowns. Still check with a physician first but I don't think it's really that dangerous unless you're like, completely cutting off circulation. You still need actual blood flow.

[@ajayakuamrgouda4006]

Yi

[@nicholasingratta423]

Alpha 3d wants your location ! So does Scott Herman

[@dougspeicherelevatemedia7384]

Love the vids - agree almost 100% except I would say concentrating on your eccentric motion is still important. True, if you slow your concentric and eccentric motion too much, you’ll experience fatigue that reduces effective reps. However, it’s just as bad or worse to grab a weight that’s too heavy and it’s all you can do to get it up, and then you completely ignore the eccentric movement by letting it drop quickly, just to use momentum (i.e. bouncing the bar off your chest in a bench press) to help you get the too-heavy weight back up. Lower the weight and use medium speed for both up/down motions and concentrate on keeping your form locked and intact. Thanks again for the video!

[@saganspirit]

BFR can definitely be dangerous with circulation etc. Surprised time under tension is in there though.

[@86twin]

This background music sounds like something Daz Dillinger would have made

[@whitecreek]

What about dropsets? Or repeating the same exercise with just about 20 secs of resting in between? Is this last one considered a compound set?

[@chitownmo]

This beat seems like it was one if the early draft beats for the main theme of the GTA: San Andreas soundtrack and these trainers picked it up.

[@no_more_free_nicks]

Makes sense.

[@greenrobot5]

Thanks, supersets cause pain in the long run

[@brandonodonnell7675]

All of this goes against a lot of other people’s research

[@100koochy100]

Jay Vincent will be having kittens 😂

[@Free_speech_is_dead]

So if time under tension is bad and a scam, then I guess Mike Mentzers entire schtick is bad

[@Nerdcrusher]

Skip charisma day much?

[@fitnytech]

Never lose hope you never know what tomorrow may bring.

[@davidlakes5087]

What about voluntarily slowing your reps on the eccentric phase, but performing the concentric phase at a normal pace?

[@johnnygamer23]

Helpful video thanks for the upload!

You’re posting wrong.

[@robbylebotha]

I really hate it when fitness videos start off by telling us the history of the muscle. Just padding out the video for ads. But other than that, this is still the best chanel

[@bartrobinson2103]

I can also do without the background music it's very distracting.
