Thanks a bunch! Never too late to keep learning. We appreciate that grind of yours 💪

Coach, we’re all waiting for upper body, core and back training for wrestlers 😊

[@GarageStrength]

Upper body and core exercises will be going in a few weeks. We will add back training to our list of ideas. Thank you for your continued support 💪

[@uSmitH2010]

I’ve gone with variations of push-ups,Ab/core movements/iso holds pulls army crawls thinking of others feel free to add some not a lot of lifting gets done where I’m at.

[@drhjhulsebos]

I love the snatch. I started doing them 4 months ago, after watching yours and Zack Telander's channel. At 42 years old, I hit 85kg for a triple this week. I feel kind of cheated having not done them in a D1 college rugby program back when I would have expected much more progress.

[@mikefaican6763]

great video!! still gonna call them Bulgarian split squat cause it sounds badass lol

[@dwighthaas1771]

The clean and jerk combines two of those and teaches stability and control with explosiveness.

[@DannyGodlewski]

You have excellent information and content man. I played hockey and lacrosse thru college, but a lot of the same theories apply. Love the channel, keep up the great work. The info here is extremely valuable for any lifter or athlete looking to get better off the field

Single leg squat is a pistol. Single leg means one leg is in use. Rear foot elevated split squats still have the rear foot in use for stability.

[@adamlawler5952]

Whether you like it or not, the lift is called the Bulgarian split squat. The name adds a bit of mystique, which the exercise deserves.

[@BrandonWilliams-wf6hg]

But it ain't Bulgarian

[@andrewgiegerich153]

It's a single leg squat smh it's a squat on one leg hard to believe someone had to teach ppl what it is

[@adamlawler5952]

@@andrewgiegerich153 nah, when you are bragging a bit about your work out, it is a lot more fun to tell someone you did Bulgarian split squats then it is to explain that you did one legged squats. It’s all in the marketing!

Love this!! Would love to see the equivalent four calisthenics exercise that could supplement these lifts. Still going to do these, but just wondering if it’s possible to develop all of that muscle control with speed doing body weight workouts?

[@jdh9606]

It's not. You will need to add weight and implements.

Reps and sets for push press?

[@GarageStrength]

@@Crimilion We usually program 5 sets of 4

[@Crimilion]

@@GarageStrength appreciate it!!

[@j0rtje]

Do you prefer multiple sets with the same weight or ramping up to a heavy top set when doing olympic lifts and squats/presses? At the moment I focus on increasing the reps with a fixed on the minute (or 2 minute) weight. For example: Power cleans on the minute. Start at 8 doubles. try to increase the reps to 8 triples over multiple weeks. Start again at 8 doubles with more weight. My sport is waterpolo. Am I on the right track here?

[@GarageStrength]

@@Crimilion No problem! Happy to help 💪

[@jodyg.950]

Do you make your athletes do push presses and strict presses as well or rly just push presses as your main lifts

[@GarageStrength]

Yes they do those lifts too 👍

[@jodyg.950]

@@GarageStrength thanks for that answer! would you implement lifts like military presses for your wrestlers?

[@GarageStrength]

@@jodyg.950 Yep. Just depends on the need during the time of the year to decide when to program it.

Does bench count as a push press?

Please answer this @garagestrength

[@FIGGY65]

A Bench press counts as a bench press; push press counts as a push press. It’s not rocket science.

The reason is that it was popular among the bulgarian weightlifing team at some point but for sure these bulgarian called this single leg squat xD

[@jessedrakehovey]

Invest in better audio. Your audio is pretty horrible yet your content is great

[@GarageStrength]

We did. This issue isn't present in our current videos

[@smoore8]

If you notice athletes that spend a large amount of time using barbell Olympic lifts like power lifters and football players aren’t that athletic compared to basketball players, track athletes, wrestlers. In a way those lifts actually sap athleticism by creating inflexible rigid athletes with limited ROM

[@GarageStrength]

Not sure what you are saying. Powerlifters don't train Olympic lifts. Olympic Lifts improve mobility and doesn't make you rigid.

[@smoore8]

@@GarageStrength what I’m saying is strength is achieved through powerlifting or Olympic lifts…there isn’t really much difference. Athleticism is enhanced through agility/speed training, training with maces and clubs, boxing and wrestling, sprinting…improving strength in multiple planes of motion not just moving a heavy barbell in the saggital plane. If you want to build athleticism the movements need to be 3D and athletic

[@GarageStrength]

@@smoore8 I don't disagree, but as far as athleticism in improving strength, power, and explosiveness, the Olympic lifts are much more athletic than powerlifting movements due to increased monility and high rate of coordination which transfers over to athletic sports.

Push press from the back of the neck.....? Do you wanna still be training at age 40, 50…60 .... ?

[@angusroewl7206]

Btn strict presses are awful for your shoulders, but only at the start of the movement. Push presses ignore his and you only press from a safe position. They are fine

[@thoughtsonfitness3249]

@@angusroewl7206 i guess we agree to disagree, I guess though that me being 58 I may not live long enough to see if these guys are still training to reasonable quality at my age... many of my piers gave up training through injury... sad really and all because of compromise…?

[@angusroewl7206]

@@thoughtsonfitness3249 if there's dudes doing Mike o hearns stuff doing strict behind the neck snatch grip presses, they're gonna fuck up their rotator cuff. But the main mover of a push press isn't the shoulders, its the quads. If you're pressing behind the neck the shoulders only come into it when the bar is around the top of your skull, but i get where your coming from

Yo, Why take it so personal? No need to allow political jingoism to creep into your platform. Love your fitness content. Bulgarians, split squat, it's all good.
