Powerlifters React to Viewers' Lifting Videos [Squat, Bench, & Deadlift Advice]

[@thecrystaltide3757]

Depression in your shoulderblades prevents depression in real life. Thats just the facts, no cap

[@Andreas-cs6wg]

That's the truth right there!

[@Scott-zh5ip]

Collabing with these is an AWESOME idea

[@jazzlike8]

Thanks a lot for critiqueing my squat Bryce, i'll definitely make use of your words! Keep up with your awesome content! Carlo

[@kylen6430]

“My 1rm is low. what do?” ... “Do more singles” Sound advice

[@drizztdourden3259]

I like this duo style, should bring on Danielle again for sure!

[@Nmuchlifts]

Bring Dani on more times !! Brings a new dynamic

[@calgarybarbell]

We will!

[@murozman]

Yeah she's very good. Very observant.

[@burlhorse61]

yh-brings in a fresh new look to FCF

[@DaniiCBB]

Glad you enjoyed! Excited to do more!

[@Hossak]

Totally agree - you both seem to be enjoying yourselves. More fun on youtube is always a good recipe.

[@chrismartinez9177]

Clicked so fast. Form check Friday is almost like a weekly holiday

[@billywitt7444]

Bringing Dani in for this Was awesome! You should throw in the occasional segment of her talking about meal prep ideas too.

[@grimtrigg3r]

Love hearing another expert contribute. Already loved these, the collab brings them to a whole new level!

[@kylen6430]

Dang, It must have been forever since I saw Dillon on screen. He changed his look completely!

[@calgarybarbell]

Yeah his hair is getting long

[@SoCalCanuck85]

Danii makes an appearance 🙌

[@ramofehsan9544]

Really appreciate this video series, not enough sources that address minor technical deficiencies in form like you do😁

[@BRIGADIERJ9]

Great work for the community

[@souslesbombes]

Nothing witty to say here, just wanna tank you for this content. It's awesome and useful. I watch every form check friday. I've heard 100 times "widen your grip on the bench press". I'm looking forward to hear it a million times. Keep it up.

[@omarbarnes2391]

Yes bring other coaches to the forum! Bryce you do an amazing job and meeting your other coaches would be nice.

[@cvester6313]

Fantastic content as always Bryce! Great to see Dani on here. Adds a great dynamic! Reps from Denmark!💪🏽

[@timb787]

The last vid: the first thing I would do is have him set his feet more out in front to get the knee below the hip. Sean noriega would be a good example. Keep chest up. Keep shoulders retracted (use a lift off if need be). It also looks like he relaxes a bit after the unrack. When you shoot your hips up to self unrack try to brace before. Concentrate on feeling the shoulder blades go down the bench as the weight gets set. Still using complete leg drive let a breath out while fighting to keep that chest up and brace once again before starting the decent. During the decent think chest up. During the pause think lat flare.

[@Ericliaoo]

I feel that John should keep his elbows in a bit, it looks like he flares them out a bit. Perhaps engage the lats more and really focus on retracting the shoulder blade to set himself in place.

[@lauravo3355]

Maybe grip is a tad too wide?

[@PinataOblongata]

Carlo was an interesting one. Another suggestion: Don't do reps with sleeves and belt, save them for 90%+ low rep/single sets when you need the extra help. It will also build confidence and give you more confidence for the heavy lifts when you put them on.

[@michaelstewart6652]

Would be cool to see you guys review lifting gear. Belts,Sleeves, straps, etc. or maybe atleast just what you guys prefer to use

[@bmstylee]

Am I the only person who doesn't understand why plates come in any shape but round?

[@joel5956]

My theory is that somebody had the big brain idea of "Flat sides don't roll!" and didn't put any further R&D in before production.

[@Lightningsythe]

I believe commercial gyms buy them to discourage deadlifting off the floor. I read that somewhere when I looked up what they could possibly be useful for.

[@bmstylee]

@@joel5956 that seems totally plausible.

[@MsElias93]

Hey Bryce How do you fix muscle inbalance in your legs. Love you channel.

[@tlbc4588]

For getting a big squat just starting out,would you recommend doing 5x5 only or adding something in like hip thrusts in to help with deadlifts and my squat or should I leave all that till I finnish my 5x5 program as my nervous system isn't used to doing any exercises yet

[@blingeranvideos6568]

His benching positioning is perfect before he unracks and he loses it right as he unracks. Probably worthwhile to get a buddy to hand off the bar to him, or to at least unrack the bar with butt down. Also, using bands across the bench if the commercial gym bench he uses isn't very grippy can also be helpful.

[@codycarpenter4604]

I would say that his elbows could be more stable, range of motion could improve, and possibly adding more leg drive.

[@johnsims9907]

With Carlo I'd really be interested to know what he's doing before hitting heavier weights. If he's hitting 130 for 6 and then trying 160 he's probably just gassed. I bet if he went with 1-2 rep warm-ups working up he would crush his PR.

[@lauravo3355]

I like john's bench. Elbows can be more stable, I wonder how wide his grip is. I may be reading too much into this, but I get the sense from how his belly inflates that he can get some core tightness by focusing on a more consistent breathing strategy.

[@reallimited2255]

She said 3 reds for the 2nd guy squatting and I have to disagree 100%. Hes below parallel.

[@jordanb9750]

Last guy was wayyyy higher and possibly 🔴🔴🔴 but that second guy looked good to me too?!

[@DaniiCBB]

Haha, my sarcasm doesn't come off well on screen apparently. ⚪⚪⚪ much depth, very nice 👌

[@reallimited2255]

@@TripodianTT Nope, English is my first language. As a new subscriber who has never seen Dani before, I don't know her sarcasm. What I do know is 3 reds is a failed rep in a meet. Bryce adds to it that "some of them seem to be on the line, but it may be camera angle." He goes on to say maybe he can work on defining the depth more. Maybe you can be kind enough to tell me what were the obvious cues.

[@jenniferspahn8930]

So leg drive- your legs are flexed/tense the entire time?

[@kjellman96]

"Uriel" Awesome name.

[@shreksthongg]

I think something with the leg drive that was an issue for me, was my upper back was sliding out of position during the lift. If I bench shirtless (in my garage) it actually isn't an issue, but if I were to go to a commercial gym where I have to wear a shirt, I can see it being very annoying. I guess that's where those grippy shirts and that yoga mat idea come into play.

[@johndouglas1294]

For carlo....singles, triples, etc. 130x 6 is right on for 155x1. Get used to heavier stuff.

[@mrbottomtext1401]

im still new at this but the thing with first guys set up, i see with people who have long torsos including myself, to get shoulders over bar they either have to round or shift weight back but in doing that wouldnt make shins vertical which means hard AF off the ground bc knee extension uses quads?

[@FooDanger]

Is it just me of does 6reps at 130 sound super reasonable if your 1RM is 155??

[@trevorhollis4024]

we luuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhhh form check friday

[@steffenmaa3832]

Greets from Germany, your videos helps me a lot 🙂

[@thegoldbros1374]

ay refreshed and this popped up perfectly

[@tlbc4588]

I really can't wait to start the gym but god I think I'm setting my standards too high; I've squated an 80 kilo person twice ass to grass and I can bicep curl 58/60kg 1rpm but I feel like when I go start I'll be using alot less weight on compound movements then I have in my head, but ill let youse know when I get more weight to try

[@arttuke4757]

Thanks for the new nickname...Arttu-D2. (I'M NOT the guy in the video btw)

[@jagmortlock]

Man, if you tell me your cap is from Alec Steele I’m gunna loose it..

[@birdmanjholt1400]

I liked this.

[@calgarybarbell]

me too

[@thomaslindroos1667]

So you guys say elbows in line with torso and Rippetoe says the opposite... Soo now I don't know whom I should listen to

[@calgarybarbell]

I think the important takeaway is that different people coach differently, and certainly that different lifters will find different cues and techniques more valuable and workable. Try things out and see if they work for you!

[@nicholasdeguzman7144]

I didn’t get picked 😢

you and the 800+ other people haha. If you really need help come join our livestream on fridays

Torille?

t-shirt on a commercial bench sucks. but ofc leg drive is an issue.

[@jimmybob111]

Bryce can u make flags plzzzz

[@calgarybarbell]

Bryce isn't a flag maker, but I can probably find a way of getting some flags made if there's enough demand. We could maybe try a pre-order type thing 🤔
