Sorry about the framing. I'll be working with a professional soon!
Let me know which products you'd like reviewed in more detail. I already plan on doing comparison videos for belts and knee wraps.
I'll be filming the next programming video tomorrow, so ask your questions about autoregulation below!

[@arielloza1671]

This dude is underrated. Awesome video man.

[@456isellbricks]

You're really funny so I'd say it's okay to not be so serious all the time. Keep up the good work!

[@Michael-jt6iw]

LOL at the end

[@jpeete]

Really loving the channel. Great humor. Great content. I’m spreading this channel like wildfire.

[@rg3412]

Never heard of capsaicin before that’s cool to discover. Last 10s of the video are the best, that’s what make your channel genuine and not some highly manufactured video. Keep it raw to some extent even if you get someone to help with the video!

[@johnteuber]

Ben - haven't mentioned it before now but I wanted to say that the Capsaicin got rid of the tendinitis I've been dealing with for 3 years. In the past, elbow cuffs and sleeves would just mask the pain but this shit is a miracle.

[@phdeadlift]

For elbows and knees especially it's a godsend, but it's really helpful for regular muscular soreness too. Such a game changer.

[@kbomb1663]

Loved the video man! Your such a nice guy lol

[@jamesdaniels5379]

In my gym bag... Fat grips/full boar slingshot/wrist wraps/bands/hooks for pulling movements/weight lifting shoes/weight journal. I might have skipped a few things, but those are essentials for me. I dont use a belt ever, ive never liked using them.

[@j.v.3266]

[@johnsonj1371]

Thanks Ben, good ideas here

[@Michael-jt6iw]

You actually got my request on IG! Thank you Ben!

[@phdeadlift]

For the record though, IG DMs are a terrible way to get in touch with me. Way too much spam and too difficult to sort through with only a mobile interface

[@victoralvites4424]

I totally relate to the end of the video

[@Malignanttorture]

Love to hear your thoughts on the slingshot

[@kevinteran5624]

Dude I reccomend a King Kong jr gym bag Best one I've ever had

[@JMBBproject]

Dem arms mate. Mirin hard.

[@esonsei]

Your channel is awesome. Keep up the good work fam.

[@marshmac]

Ben great series of videos. Was wondering if you plan on doing one on nutrition. Training days vs. non-training days or massing vs cutting

[@phdeadlift]

Yes, I'll get there

[@ankitrasaily2961]

That last part tho lmao🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@adammazen6359]

Hey Ben, I wanted to know whether or not I should add assistance exercises for hypertrophy when doing your program. I'm a powerbuilder, and my current numbers are 550 deadlift, 405 squat, 315 bench. So far I've been using a standard 5x5 program, so I always had to add in extra work. Thanks

[@stevo946]

Have you ever tried the Sabo deadlift or goodlift shoes? Seem like good flats since they have the straps and stuff.

[@drewkocak]

Here to see how many ammonia bottles ya got in there

[@phdeadlift]

Well I only carry one but I've got a box full

[@JMBBproject]

That's another bag that has twice the size. :D

[@TomBielecki]

Gym bag + Ammonia bag

[@quadplyr13]

@@phdeadlift lol.. the end of the video, you curse like an old war vet....lol... aleeve

[@garytipp7647]

I wanna give capsasin a shot

[@maxperformance123]

"Should have taken more of that god damn Aleve"

[@MuayThaiBora]

That's a lot of gear to lug around

[@chrisventura4382]

Looking into purchasing knee sleeves again. I’ve bought strong sleeves worked well how would you compare the iron Rebel sleeves to strong sleeves?

[@kev23dk]

The one I like for flat shoes is Sabo deadlift shoes. Check it out guys its also genuine leather so it wont stink it will breath and will last longer if you dry it condition it and take care of it.

[@kev23dk]

Lewis Ball hmm hopefully it doesn't happen to mine

[@phdeadlift]

I've worn the older version; they're too narrow for me.

[@kev23dk]

Ive been wearing the new one for about 4-5 months now it's a good fit for me I do agree it's a bit tight but usually in boots/shoes im wearing EEE or EE width. Why is it so hard to find the right shoes haha.

[@craigslistreply6544]

Have you tried doing a snatch and C&J?. Your vids are getting better bro

[@phdeadlift]

Hahahah yeah, I've tried. Not for me :)

[@Dextrolax]

Have you ever competed in the ipf or its affiliates (such as USAPL)? If not, why not?

[@miguelcardenas6825]

Ben 1 question , your lever belt the type of leather is treated or untreated?

[@mlbb011594]

Hey Ben, how do you tape your hand when applying hook grip?

[@podsmpsg1]

I'd keep in my bag: . Towel . Soap . Shampoo . Gold Bond powder . Hand sanitizer . Change of clothes . Keys . Water bottle(s) . Protein shake . Deodorant

[@UniverseAZ]

ben whats your word on sbd belt vs pioneer lever belt?

[@TurreTuntematon]

No gloves? How do you keep your skin from not peeling off?

[@jonnekytola5513]

Hi Ben! Could you go into more detail about the capsaicin? Where do you buy it, in what form it is etc? Bicep tendonitis has been giving me a hard time recently...

[@phdeadlift]

Yeah I'll do a video on that. It's a good idea

[@charleswheeler7843]

What was the product for tendonitis called

[@tylerwesttraining4795]

I’d love to see some videos on improving weak points in the squat, bench and deadlift. Personally, I suck off the floor and pull sumo. But always look forward to your videos they’re super helpful and motivating to become a better lifter

[@benjaminlyons5261]

Tyler West not sure if Ben did them on his channel but did awesome series on mind pump tv. His knowledge of the big 5 helps him keep it simple and easy to follow. Implemented some of the cues and saw immediate improvements in my squat and bench.

[@mikewhatnow]

Fucking outstanding

[@thebiggistthebadist]

Where do you get the tork

[@TaiPatrickTV]

loved the vid, but I think people would like if you described things in a little bit more details, e.g. why you use loose straps rather than a loop strap

[@phdeadlift]

I thought about that, but most people have said to keep the videos to under 10 minutes, and I could talk for quite a while about anything in there. So I figured I'd just do followup videos on topics of interest. Would you like a strap video?

[@vincentpachuta9799]

I like to keep a tug toner in mine for warming up

[@delciemcwhoopie]

is it a 4” belt?

[@erictong3385]

If your earbuds keep falling out on your jay birds switch them to the spongy earbuds that are in the box.

[@phdeadlift]

They don't fall out, they just break. I've been through two pairs already.

[@erictong3385]

Ben Pollack did you get to do a "duffin taper" on you pioneer belt

[@Gmame97]

Can you do a video on your assistance work? Like for building size

[@phdeadlift]

Yes

[@dirtmcgirt01]

I’d be interested in seeing that as well, always interested in what you extremely strong guys are doing.

[@regardzz]

yeah would be cool if you could film more of a regular gym session and not something like heavy squats or something its interesting to see what else you do there :D even if its like 40 min video id watch that.

[@mattnelson5562]

Great video. What brand capsaicin do you use?

[@phdeadlift]

It's linked in the description

[@jamesgillam6478]

Have you tried the SBD belt? It's the best belt I've used by such a huge margin that I can't imagine Pioneer being better than it but I'm certainly open to trying them if you think they're even more supportive than SBD!!

[@phdeadlift]

I wore the SBD belt for almost a year and it never broke in. Personally, I like my belts to mold to my body so they're more comfortable and don't interfere with my ROM. That said, the adjustable lever is really nice

[@garrettnp5]

Ben Pollack the crossfit lite tr’s are making a come back. Check Jesse burdicks IG for for a sneak peek 🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@arielloza1671]

The sbd never breaks in just like the inner 13mm. Pioneers owner did a video on Brandon Campbell's KZbin comparing all of the top lifting belts out there. Go check it out. The only thing is the awesome lever. Other than that the pioneer beats the sbd in every way. Price built quality and customization.

[@arielloza1671]

Inzer *^

[@esonsei]

too bad Pioneer is not IPF approved :(

[@sirloinsteak81]

BIG BEN

[@toximan2008]

heels not on ground? c'mon Ben!

[@MrBorn2lose]

Just staring at his arms, couldnt focus on anything he was saying

[@X3RUBIM]

Of course this man has a Leatherman in his gym bag.

[@jagleaso]

This is the only gym bag video that isn’t shit.

[@AlexandrosMav]

You still have your creatine intra-workout too right?

[@phdeadlift]

I take my creatine whenever. Timing doesn't matter if you're taking it every day.

[@AlexandrosMav]

thanx mate :)

[@juanvalenzuela2776]

Flat feet?

[@keepluvingaesthetics6103]

Was that your ankle that cracked ?

[@phdeadlift]

probably

[@srinivas805]

Why all my heroes are flat footers like me.. 😐

[@tjipke95]

what do you think about the sabo dl shoes?

[@phdeadlift]

Never tried 'em

[@tjipke95]

do you give online coaching?

[@tjipke95]

really loving the vids and been following for a while. In april im doing my first meet and could use some coaching to perfect some technique isues ;)

[@phdeadlift]

Anoniem S. I do, email me at [e-mail]

[@trif0ld]

BEN I missed 275x1 on squat today and my brother gave me a poor spot so I had to roll it over my head, can I get an F for respect :(

[@phdeadlift]

Been there bro. As long as you could walk it off it's all good

[@jasonluckett2263]

The crossfit lt fit my wide feet. Chucks kill my poor feet. Sorry for all you people who won't wear them just because they say crossfit.

[@echobonx4118]

Great review but why are you doing it on the floor? 🤔 cant barely see your face dude and ur kneeling posture😫 dont u have table? 😄😄

[@pretty_flaco]

a bag full of promos

[@Dudeatrix]

2-3 reps is high reps for a power lifter. LOLOLOL
