Tight tight tight!!! - Tuco Salamanca

[@leosaffron222]

Every time I hear someone scream that in a meet I think of that scene

[@savannahp6359]

it's really kind of you guys to keep helping people out with their form, especially since it's kind of the same advice every week just to different people. I think it's super helpful cause it keeps pounding into my brain all the little things to keep an eye on for myself.

[@codeyhanna767]

I love this channel for the same reason :D

[@ErikBrabantsPianist]

That last guy spotting is a real bro. Great handoff and even unlocks the belt.

[@erickbriano4485]

Love your intro and content

[@jamienyeste5438]

Bryce you guys are killing it with this channel, don't stop doing what you do man!

[@mwlodar12]

solid video - I've made a lot of these mistakes personally glad to see i'm not the only one!

[@giobautista975]

Thanks for the vid Bryce

[@Tambelicious]

Not sure how I stumbled across your guys page - think it was a equipment review - but every video I have watched, I have either learned something where I had an "ahaa" moment or just took notes and there aren't a lot of channels that give such detail to and focus on the minutiae of lifts and technique. Thanks a lot to everyone involved in the channel. Really is a source of proper lifting help.

[@QQyoko]

FYI, you recommended that I work on limiting my reliance on the stretch reflex on squats, and I can honestly say that my hamstrings have never lit up more than when I started focusing on that. Hoping to hit 495 in April/May with this. Thank you!

[@salmanhussain6863]

QQyoko you'll hit that for sure.

[@QQyoko]

Jakob Bogale I was dropping the last little bit of my squats quicker to try to get a "bounce" out of the hole. It's not terrible, but it's not optimal. I've been focusing on controlling the whole range of motion, and I've been doing heavy pause squats. I think it's helping.

[@sonicnendez]

I also stopped using that bounce. I can now feel the ground with my entire foot. Feeling like i can get more powerful easier

[@cammk9415]

QQyoko did you hit 495?

[@dieselsnout]

Did you hit it?

[@JosephGreenly]

Just stumbled across this channel really cool content!

[@ekilic911]

I love your channel I really hope that you guys grow in viewers and subs because I want my favorite powerlifting channel to succeed.

[@LeDaveySaurus]

Thanks for tips! I think my form has improved a lot since then. Still have trouble with being a little overextended, and i think that compromises my depth a little. One thing ive been doing lately is to keep my legs straight and lean forward a little and keeping a tight upper back by pulling in my shoulders instead of compensating by overextension and ive found good results from that. Still got ways to go for good technique i guess.

[@jlalonde1000]

that 15 year old is dam strong for that age

[@xXAkitokunXx]

The rigidity of the barbell on the squat, feels like I am going to bend the bar on my sockets of the back shoulders.

[@morfumax]

Hey Bryce, this question is regarding sumo deadlifts...do you feel like it is more important to get a position that allows for a more upright back position, or one that sacrifices that for straighter shins (ie, knees not going over the bar) and higher hips?

[@DahliasKittyCatFam]

Nice Last Best Shirt

[@sheldonvantol4132]

Hey bryce, do you have any reccomendations for excercises to help my deadlift top range of motion? I find i end up with my knees locked and having to pull through with my back at lockout. Off the floor is generally not a problem. (I pull sumo)

[@samjoe2970]

Amazing music in your videos. Heeellll yeeeeeeeee

[@rvpmarko]

Do you know whats the name of those soundracks?

[@dieselsnout]

Where can I buy a Rogue 2X4 so I can bench press like a pro?

[@bikerboy3k]

Yoo. It's gonna be a hell of a waiting time for me then because I submitted my videos only yesterday in the hope that I would get featured today.

[@stopsallmelb]

Travis Schpeltinger haha yeah three month wait

[@bikerboy3k]

lukeceravolo fuck my life...

[@stopsallmelb]

Travis Schpeltinger I don't get why he doesn't do it more often or longer videos to catch up

[@bikerboy3k]

Yeah longer videos is actually a good idea. Dunno dude, i get that you're trying to fit everyone in but that's just fucking unrealistic. What if a thousand people submitted videos in December alone for example ? Means that he'll virtually never be able to catch up. Not the most ideal way of going on about it, i agree.

[@stopsallmelb]

Travis Schpeltinger he says he either emails or the more important ones more people can learn from he promotes on the channel so all he has to do is get up to date within a couple of weeks. So email majority to catch up then have less wait and actually get use out of it

[@calebengland149]

Hey man, whats your opinion on muscle imbalamces? Is one side feeling more sore than the other a big issue or is it a normal thing.

[@heroscapewarrior4217]

Shit man good question!

[@Not2Be0utDone]

I’m just here to listen to Com Truise everything else is extra

[@icos211]

Should you still pause benches if you are doing a volume/hypertrophy block? I find with getting tight and trying to pause high rep work I burn all my energy off before I get all of the reps I could, almost regardless of the weight. Can I just get back to pausing when I get closer to meet prep time?

[@kanguroman]

Just control the intensity correctly

[@BUFFALO_cougar_slayer]

I’d pause 100% of the time, warmups and all

[@FitGranticus]

I've tried it both ways for the same reason. I eventually did get used to pausing higher reps. If doing touch n go, just make sure you stay tight and really control the descent. I think the better way to go is to stay tight and just do a quick pause, you'll get used to it.

[@SinnedNogara]

I still keep in paused benching but my variations are touch n go

[@PrinceLoki]

Random seeing my gym at 9 min lol

[@aborigine777]

I use pauses on all my benching/overhead pre$$ing 80% of the time.

[@ncongnolancong]

Go back to your old intro dudeee. It was so sick

[@AsgardAwaitsYou]

I've gotten so much more chest activation pausing my reps highly recommended everybody does it.

[@rog69]

only good for bodyuilding lol, if lifting for strength/power ur ust wasting energy for marginal returns in performance, so fk it

[@spitfirepaintball16]

@@rog69 pausing helps you explode out of the bottom is that not what you want when powerlifting?

[@rog69]

@@spitfirepaintball16 u dont need to pause to explode... stretching reflex is much better. u are wasting energy killing momentum and then going from a dead stop...u want to preserve every ounce of energy/momentum to lift off your heavy single. also very bad for people with already bad proportions, like long hands for bench. also also, u don't really explode on heavy bench. every ipf meet bench reps are steady or grinder reps, u can't really explode from a lying position being very tight in your upper back, lat region. this ain't squat. light weight repping is a different story tho.

[@kubeltrash8323]

ro g You do realize most powerlifting federations require you to pause your reps on the bench right? They tell you to lower the weight, and then let you know when you can press. You can’t just ‘touch-n-go’ on your own

[@rog69]

Kübel Trash I didn't say that's not the case, I'm talking about training, where pausing literally all ur reps is useless. Besides their pause is not that long and is nano second longer than a touch n go.

[@collextoys]

has any one else hurt there sternum doing these pause bench-presses?

[@confidential5743]

Don’t let the weight drop on your sternum, you still keep tension and weight should stay on your palms

[@Andrew11738]

BRO that intro is insane!!!

[@chikachikaslimshady1]

Calgary the most alpha city in canada.

[@franky6181]

Just when I thought I would get by without subscribing...I see a stranger things intro. Fine. You got me.

[@soldatheero]

typical young man only cares about the numbers

[@cumshotoftheweek]

Second guys bench technique was bloody awful 😂.

[@cumshotoftheweek]

Erik Brabants very true. But he must have known bounce and go reps are a no no
