Re: bench press injuries- What you leave out here is -loading this motion time and again and NOT training shoulder external rotation proportionately (and who do you see even train it at all, except with a band or something?) -the bar limits range of motion; over time, this leads to relative weakness in the deeper range; problems ensue

[@mikeabel7577]

Obviously genetics are going to play a huge role in strength and muscle building. The science becomes important when a lifter starts to bump up against their natural limits of strength and muscle building. Training hard, eating well and adequate sleep will get you quite far but I wasted a lot of time when I was younger by disregarding the science and just "training hard". My training is so much more efficient now that I've educated myself and applied effective training principles.

[@Yupppi]

I like that lately there's more caveats like "for an athlete of this type this idea might be valid, but for this person/bodybuilding/whatever it's not useful". Because let's face it, there's a lot of strength and other athletes watching the channel as well, or just amateurs/hobbyists who have strength or athletic goals. Because it's one of the most useful channels on youtube for that kind of stuff. I remember "back in the day" when there was the "Strength made simple" series when I was still more interested about how to build muscle, and now I'm doing sports and trying to increase strength for it. It's not always easy to parse comments like "this is stupid/worthless" when it's said in specific context and not interpret it as universal idea. Versa Gripps are cool but there's something about it when you see the most worn down IronMind straps. Like someone uses them and then does 300 kg deep squats or 230 kg front squats.
