When I worked out at a commercial gym I was always surprised by how little the average person there was lifting. I don't think the people there were weak, I think they were worried about form. You gotta push the weights. Lifting with snapback form isn't ideal, but less than pefect form is gunna happen when you're trying. Just brace hard!
@EnkiriElite
@EnkiriElite 4 жыл бұрын
I agree, most people lift so light in the commercial setting that they it's no wonder they never make progress. Most average people start off stronger than they think are, you just have to convince them to walk down the path of putting out that extra bit of effort, which is obviously not easy because lifting heavy weights is fucking hard. Unfortunately though, what you typically see in commercial gyms is half squats with 135 on the bar or ricochet off the sternum style bench presses, neither of which are going to yield impressive results in the long run. So with people like that first you need to show them what the lift is even supposed to look like...as there isn't much sense in loading up a half squat. But that's not a problem that most people watching my channel are going to have as they are typically much more well informed than the average gym goer.

So called “perfect form” is not the problem, the problem is people that have no idea what they are looking at, commenting about form, Alec has a lifting style that emphasizes explosiveness and athletic performance, but people interpret this has bad form because they have no idea what they are talking about, it’s the people that equate lifting with bodybuilding and have no reference for the performance side of the lifting world.

I agree with you. While I have delved deeper into "bodybuilding" methodologies myself in recent months, there is still a stark contrast between training for performance, especially movement based or athletic performance, and training for strength/hypertrophy. I had the same thought as you yesterday browsing Instagram. All weight training on there is pretty much conflated with bodybuilding. Even people that aren't into bodybuilding fall into the "I really blasted the long head of my triceps today on long head day!" And it's just a little unfortunate that that is the methodology that is the most pervasive.

‘Perfect form’ is contextual. It annoys me when that becomes the standard, especially since it’s impossible to have ‘perfect form’ on a 90% ish lift. The standard shouldn’t be achieving ‘perfect form’ but just simply avoiding ‘imperfect’ or ‘unacceptable’ form. Plus it helps build robustness in the lifter’s joints and body. If ALL you lift with is ‘perfect form’, that’s all you’ll be able to lift with. Keep striving coach 🙏🏽🤘🏽

I think the whole concept of perfect form should be taken out of fitness and must be replaced with consistent form across varying intensities. The only thing that should differ from moving light weights and heavy weights must be the speed on the bar (heavy weights move slower obviously). If a lifter shows consistent form (even if he/she uses a slightly rounded back for a Deadlift or a wide grip for the Bench) and progressively overloads over time his/her body will adapt to that movement. For beginners we need to teach them understandable and universal cues that apply to most training population like maintaining equal foot pressure throughout the squat or having your shoulders over the bar at the start of the Deadlift and then work from there to improve their movement efficiency by making small adjustments and if they can’t get into certain positions (Block Pulls if the trainee can’t pull the bar from the floor), we should make them work around it encouraging them that over time they’ll become better rather than fear mongering them into moving in a very “specified” way or else it’s snapcity! We need to encourage people to move, not move perfectly! This is just my take on the whole matter! What are your thoughts? Anyone who wants to have a discussion is/are welcome :)

Great input man, and I completely agree. When I was still pretty new to lifting I was always psyched to show my dad my PR's and his response was "they always look the same." And I would tell him..."THAT'S THE POINT!" They *should* look the same, the goal is to make them all look the same. Training cues are very important as well. Show someone how to execute a movement properly, identify the major shortcomings, and provide them 1-2 cues that resonate with them and allow them to feel out and focus on those inefficiencies. From there, it's a product of diligent effort, consistency, and time. The body finds its own best path when it is nudged along accordingly.

Hey Alec, great channel, finally subbing. I dont care much for those videos on derp fitness gurus but these rants on lifting philosophy and lifting guides like pushpress and highpull is what is gold. So I've got a request or suggestion for video even. I just got 100kg powerclean in the gym after about 3 months getting back to weights after injury and other shit, layoff of almost 2 years and thats same as my old record. Only Catch is that I finally learned how to use straps so this 100kg clean with straps felt easier and like picking a faking berry from swamp compared even for 90kg hook gripped warmup which felt easy(and i got greedy and failed 110kg immediatly afterwards but it was ok try). I never realized that I was leaving that much on the table earlier,possibly over 10% with my grip strenght so bit of a revelation and bummer at same time. So if you got anything to say or knowledge about gripstrenght for shortfingered people i'm going to be all ears.

I believe there is a perfect form, just like there is perfect synchronicity in dancing or work. It can be achieved in calisthenics in which person does not work with resistance constantly reaching his maximum of strength/endurance but it's not exclusive to body weight exercises. All is needed is patience and precise progression. I can agree that exercising in one form of perfection (same grip, same leg spacing, speed, holding time, breathing) is harmful in a long run but with small alteration of those variables you grind body down much slower then in "slipping trough the cracks" form. Getting something very quickly in fitness is a sign of incoming injury. Not because it of itself is such, but because trainee is just an idiot about to reach too far. Since you get wise slowly, try to get better slowly. Ten years of slow progress is better. Always.

I never understand why they need to strip the whole bar to correct technique. 5-10% weight decrease is usually enough, as long as it isn't a shit show of a movement, ie your knees giving ye a round of applause is the hole of the squat.

Precisely. I'm all for submaximal work, especially with newer lifters, but some people take it too damn far.

Are you able to perform the lift? Are you comfortable and hitting the right muscle groups for said lift? Are you avoiding injury? If so, keep going. A great personal example would be my conventional deadlift. No matter how "perfect" I got my form, I felt like every session was a step closer to injuring myself. Due to my body type (I'm six foot even, and my legs are seriously exactly half my height), conventional DL with proper and "perfect" form just doesn't work for me.

Im 6 ft 1 with legs more than half my height, conventional is still great for me after some form tweaks

I like thinking about it as "technique at a given weight" rather than some perfect form for all weights. I can lift 300 pounds with good form but i can't lift 405 with good form. That's how i think about it even with weights i can only unrack. So i don't need to lower the weight to practice the form, i need to practice the weight until i move it more efficiently.

There is definitely merit to that mentality as the dynamics of the movement change when the weight being moved is closer to the individual's current ceiling, and by lowering the weight (instead of practicing the heavier weight) you meter get to experience those changes, which makes adapting to them rather difficult. As well, the heavier confers a greater strength adaptation, and as you get stronger submaximal weights become even more submaximal making them easier to move with "perfect" form. So i largely agree with you are saying here, you just have to execute the concept in a respinsible manner.

I'd say that the notion that perfect form doesn't exist, is false, it just depends on what you mean. In the context of powerliftning, perfect form could be defined as the form with which a person could move the most amount of weight. Most likely, there is one singular form for each person that allows this, and thereby, perfect form does in fact exist.

Back then when i just started following fitness KZbinrs and didn't know anything yet . and Athlean X was my go to . i used to think like that too ... cause his form mostly was Perfect duo to light / fake weights .. but as i now have a lot more knowledge under my belt .. and know what grinding a lift means and saw people and power lifters actually lifts heavy weights .. or go beyond failure .. i know that perfect model pose with perfect tempo when lifting is just a scam !

People who make those comments have no experience training others. Once you see a variety of bodies perform these exercises over and over and over- the idea of perfect becomes less and less accurate of a term for ideal technique.it’s all relevant to the lifter and their goals.

Everyone in the comments section is an expert. I will say though there are plenty of videos out there of guys doing complete ego lifting. I'm sure alot of people have seen that guy on youtube stories who deadlift like 800lbs but he rounds his back insanely every time.

There's always going to be those guys half your size & a quarter of your strength critiquing your "form" I mean bad form does exist it usually looks like rounded back like my 2nd rep when I PR'd 405x2 on squat last year but some people will just grasp at straws to try too justify why others lift more weight than them.
