5 Lifting MISTAKES I wish I was aware of earlier

[@SzatStrength]

It's good to be back! Happy new year let's crush 2023!!

[@julianackroyd3721]

I’ve been struggling with mental health for over 10 years and it’s the toughest thing! Stay positive king, u got this!

[@CKaiser5517]

Thankful to see you back on KZbin. As someone who has struggled with depression most of my adult life, I appreciate your boldness in speaking out about your own issues. Looking forward to your content in 2023.

3:45 I always make sure to force myself to follow my 4321 rule for rest. 4 minutes for SBD (and OHP) 3 minutes for all other compounds 2 minutes for isolations (although I allow 2.5 if I feel I really need it) 1 minute for abs and calves

[@edwatson4997]

Good to see you back Brother.

[@SzatStrength]

thank you!

[@jodencro]

Joey, good to see another video. I bet you and Antoine could have an amazing video/podcast regarding mental health. He has helped me a lot in my life battle my demons with his words of advice in his videos. Stay massive Coach 💪

[@SzatStrength]

We have done one in the past where he talks about his addiction on "Becoming the Lion Podcast" which is on iTunes/Spotify check it out!

[@WhatAboutZoidberg]

Far, far from the only one. Mental health is just as important as any other part of your body, if not more. I always strive for balance, if at all possible, because extremes in either direction lead to negative outcomes for me. Keep up the great work and heres to a fresh start on a new year.

[@CFreedom]

Thanks for the update Joey! Really appreciate you being so open and talking about mental health. Cant wait to see more of your journey. Keep it up big man.

[@SzatStrength]

yes can't wait to continue to put out content!

[@miamidolphinsfan]

Good to see you Coach Joey, Happy New Year, and hope you and your Mrs had a Merry Christmas. Thanks for the upload

[@SzatStrength]

thanks for watching!

[@LatimusChadimus]

I totally understand your last point, especially because the muscle memory idea sometimes can take longer than just one training block, and it can be necessary for carry over to really really build that foundation with muscle memory

[@SzatStrength]

yes absolutely!

[@Kevin-zt1ne]

Glad to see you back Joe. Happy to see you’re doing good bro. Keep your chin up. Tough times don’t last, tough people do.

[@SzatStrength]

[@Bearded360]

Now it’s a new year! Welcome back coach! Let’s go!!!

[@SzatStrength]

LETS GO

[@robertkraychik1884]

i've been guilty of all of these at some point, probably still committing the first sins of insufficient rest times between sets, excessive volume before 'working sets', excessive variability and and exercise changes at the expense of mastering simpler programming.

[@williambilinski]

Happy New Year, Joey! Can’t wait to see your new body building journey unfold over the coming months. Gonna be jacked and stacked 💪 🧔‍♂️

[@SzatStrength]

thank you!

[@CopenhagenCollabo]

Happy New Year Joey, hope you’re doing good buddy. Copenhagen supports

[@SzatStrength]

i appreciate you

[@nicopostigo123]

Great tips man. Thanks!!

[@SzatStrength]

thank you for watching

[@LatimusChadimus]

This is definitely going to be good, but I know one I wish I knew about years ago that isn't often talked about and that is regulating intensity to prevent plateaus and injuries, as well as boredom because if you're not excited about training then you probably won't train for very long

[@SzatStrength]

Yes I can talk more about that in a future video!

[@Eyembig2]

Happy New Year Joey and you are anazing! Like that shirt brotha!! Let's GO this year!! Can't wait for all your new videos man!

[@SzatStrength]

thank you!

[@patrickkeeney3259]

[@jortiz5039]

Happy New year wish for the best family and peace take care

[@SzatStrength]

thank you so much

[@tariqo16]

I'm still a novice but hey watching won't hurt

[@thissmoothie]

1. Rest periods 2. Too many warm-up sets 3. Too much volume 4. Weight over technique 5. Not using a variation long enough

[@markb6679]

Thank you for all the brilliant advice. I wonder if "5 lifting mistakes I wish I was aware of earlier" would better explain the purpose of this video to people. I think it may be a bit confusing, as it is, but that may well be due to my own poor comprehension. I hope to work harder than ever to increase my rather poor PRs, in 2023. :D

[@SzatStrength]

I took your advice =]

[@markb6679]

@@SzatStrength I was worried it may have come across as critical. You are a true gentleman as well as an astoundingly good athlete. Thank you.:D

[@LatimusChadimus]

Yeah your legs are definitely worthy of everyone being jealous over haha but if I did give a piece of advice to help you with the upper body, especially with all of those underlying muscles that get ignored, doing bent arm barbell pullovers as a warm-up or even as a working set in your regimen would help you greatly with all of the insertion points and the overall range of where muscle can fill in at. I can't remember where I heard this phrase a couple of decades ago but it essentially went as stretching teaches your muscle where it can grow and doing things in a flexed stretch position gives a lot of the endpoints of the muscle a chance to get stimulus that regular resistance training can closely mimic

[@SzatStrength]

thank you for your advice =]

[@tariqo16]

Not using a variation long enough i almost closed the video because of guilt

[@othrerir_jussi]

Good to see the mustache back too.

[@SzatStrength]

mustache is powerful

Watching at 2x speed is the wat

[@SzatStrength]

haha so nice isn't it!

[@vincnt9537]

@@SzatStrength yes, watching at higher speeds is hilariously efficient

You're gonna need to be buying some bigger flannels soon, mate.

[@SzatStrength]

haha hopefully!
