Key is to start taking gear with the breast milk when you are 1 month old.

[@YanDoroshenko]

That's one month wasted man.

[@Lingo680]

1 month too late

[@Amar061]

10 months too late. Mother should start taking gear immediately after, or even during, the creampie that conceived you, and your father should have been at least a decade on it before putting that load in your mother.

It's actually optimal if your mum takes test whilst you are in the womb.

Well heck. The moment I saw his name is Anton, I started thinking of Anton Pliesnoi, an absolute stud in weightlifting from Georgia/Ukraine. And who would've guessed, this Anton is from Ukraine as well. But what the heck is in the genes of those two nations, Ukrainians and Georgians. World's strongest lifters and grapplers. And Anton seems like a really fun dude to chill with. This deficit deadlift looks as nasty as Jefferson curl... I can imagine the low back cramp from just thinking about it. Very timely, did front squats, rdl (not locking out or stopping knees from moving like Nicu Vlad intended it for back accessory for cleans) and bent rows after judo session. But I'm not Anton so I just rotate it with pullups and back hyperextensions throughout the week, pullups being the main movement and bhe more like a conditioning and physiotherapeutic accessory. Every gym should have stress relieving, recovery assisting dog.

these are not heavy deadlifts tho as mentioned in the video , lighter weight slow controlled deadlift with a little rounded back is fine as the last exercise

[@ryanfeldpausch858]

On gear, he has to use the pullups to make him weaker for the lift though. He has a whole video on training with gear, he recommends pre-fatiguing the bigger muscles with smaller excercises BEFORE the big compounds in order to reduce injury risk. Natty is different.

Why the «high chest» queue on the rows? Would you not get a bigger stretch if you round your upper back and let your shoulderblades pull apart completely?

[@alexlogo5270]

Keeping your chest high for me is a cue that gets your chest in a similar relative position to a chest supported row. You're rounding around your chest not at your chest. I suck at explaining things, sorry

This is the type of work that actually builds massive physiques Old School fundamental movements

[@simondarras2352]

These exercises will build a lot of muscle for sure, but even though you said it would be really fatigue-inducing, it doesn’t really seem like high volume… on actual pulling muscles… I mean 4 sets of pronated pull-ups probably aren’t the best for lats, especially when lacking a bit of rom at the top. And yes I know that partials work just as well bla-bla-bla but moderate rom pronated pull-ups will mainly target elbow flexors, teres and lower traps. It would probably have to be neutral-supinated grip with a greater rom to make sure you’re hitting a lot of humeral movement in a sagittal plane (and yeah I know the lats also work fine in a frontal plane but that’s also how you engage a ton of other stuff especially on pull-ups where the resistance doesn’t come from the side). Then onto barbell rows with some hinge ? Same thing here, I fail to understand how it would take the lats to failure. And since you’re asking him to maintain a big chest at the bottom aka avoiding rom at the scapula, I’d assume that you’re not trying to hit upper back. My point is, yeah these will work really good for a total beginner. They will build lats, traps, arms and erectors to a degree. And these are really good patterns to learn as a beginner. I myself started working out 10 years ago with callisthenics and pull-ups have always been a huge back builder for me… to a point. I still have them, weighted, but I know what they give me and what they don’t. And they definitely aren’t the best lat builder for me. So why would you have someone like Anton do that few volume of such non-sufficient exercises for him ? I mean he’s pretty clearly eligible for training in a more focused way lol. Nothing wrong with having pull-ups and rows but man I would have expected to see next at least one exercise that really targets the lats and (almost) only the lats. Same for upper back ! Please understand that I’m not trying to hate here, if your point was that this training is good for total beginners, yes it is. But in the video it somewhat seems that you’re treating Anton as a beginner when he would in my opinion benefit from more volume and more focused exercises. Anyways thanks for the video. I hope Angon will make it as far as possible.

Isn't the systemic fatigue of bent over barbell rows a little high? I feel that shit in my lower back more than even deadlifts.

[@hogbog1018]

[@daxvax]

Systemic fatigue is something you can think about when rowing 315. Not low weight. Don’t even think about it…

[@BaconManBruh]

​@@daxvaxDeadlifts in general produce ALOT of fatigue even in lightweights since you are still gonna have to work really hard to get something out of it. Anything that involves axial fatigue has nutty systemic fatigue build up lightweight or heavyweight. But the real value information here is should i deadlift on a cut? NOPE good lord just don't so you last longer on your cutting program. My limit is 2 months when im insane enough to include nutty compounds on my program like the big lifts like squats deadlifts bench press but if you are not cutting then its OK to do Deadlifts atleast for me anyways.

Mike is just introducing more ways to hit the back and he's definitely nuking the dudes erectors coz thats alot of axial fatigue with how deep it is so yes definitely alot of systemic fatigue on that movement.
