Why Strength Comes BEFORE Muscle

[@bellewhite3764]

I like the idea of taking the pressure off yourself by saying: "I'm simply practicing the movements" 👌👍

He will. Love brother bioneers channel big-time 😊 been tuning in for yrs

[@fabchi4597]

That's why we have overcoming isometrics

[@TheBioneer]

Exactly, you get it 🤘🏻

[@BassSniper209]

I truly appreciate your content as it caused me to rethink my training and focus on the mobility and longevity

[@QuincyKane]

Good advice; certainly something I've been learning lately!

[@sarasmr4278]

Form leads to function. Learning the new movement and nailing the form before you load it heavy reduces your chances of injury going forwards.

[@codywalper22]

Not to be THAT guy but this is why I love the workouts from your books so much. It helps you build up to a point of serious muscular endurance. I've never been a "max" guy and luckily my natural strength is up there. But now I can toss the weight around without blowing up in 2 minutes lol.

[@benthacker2475]

This man is brilliant

[@Tireless_Wanderer]

I totally understand that, that’s why there are ppl who say that a certain exercise works a different muscle than the one it’s generally known for targeting. Their muscles haven’t ‘activated’ per say, it hasn’t been trained and lacks strength to be used and is not connected to the mind

[@koleszgdanska7149]

Repetition is a mother of all skills

[@holcombballer23]

Attain strength by lifting weights heavy and maintaining your cardio endurance you will be equipped for most anything needed.

Oh and don’t forget the side shoots!

[@nickynicknico]

Awesome channel, Sir! Making me want to get fit again. 💪🏼👍🏼 cheers.

[@Naegajjang448]

Very true. and a lot of advanced people forget to tell this to beginners

[@stormvalentine2642]

Sooo true, learning to feel the muscles work is so essential

[@tropheusanims698]

Also why in my opinion you shouldn’t go straight into training or weight lifting but rather perform basic exercises first to a certain degree

[@samuelzins5089]

Very good point

[@christopherjohnblack3526]

Shouldn't it be the opposite? Because Powerlifters in the off-season incline to a bodybuilding approach with more volume before peaking in max strength in the in-season. Pls correct me if I'm wrong.

[@wolfvash22]

Somebody that is in a competitive environment has already passed those first conditioning stages and the train regime now focuses in specific goals.

[@DarkOnikage345]

You’re not wrong mate, but powerlifting programming also uses a wide range of repetitions and varieties of the main lifts spread across what they call secondary, tertiary, or even quaternary days for some, to essentially accrue practice of the competition movements. For example, a primary squat day could be when you perform heave singles, doubles, or triples of the competition squat; a secondary day might be when you do tempo squats; tertiary days could be dedicated to variations like the pin squats or pause squats.

[@christopherjohnblack3526]

@@DarkOnikage345 can you do max out deadlifts and volume deadlifts in the same week? For example: Monday Max Effort Deadlift. Sets of heavy doubles Thursday Volume Deadlift with deficit as a variation . Sets of 4 to 5 reps.

[@Arturinho98]

So… how do you practice such workouts??

[@alsahib3768]

Does this affect Hear muscle?

[@riandedy2202]

Very true❤

[@criticallyunderfunded3707]

I agree with the message, but not with the choice of words. You need to build coordination before muscle. Then you build muscle to build strenght.

[@TheBioneer]

I agree with you to an extent but it’s more cyclical - intramuscular coordination literally *is* strength. It’s the ability to use more of the muscle and that in turn lets you stimulate more of the muscle to get stronger. So you will get stronger before you add muscle mass (disregarding things like metabolic stress… it’s nuanced).

[@mikemoore2791]

Mate. You just contradicted Bioneer your words are wrong not his. Your understanding is flawed not his.

[@wolfvash22]

There could be a confusion in words indeed, there are neuro-muscular adaptations and grossly expressed, those are nothing but intramuscular coordination, it is your body learning how to efficiently use the muscle fibers it already has. Once you reach certain milestone, you begin to challenge your muscles, hence you begin to forcing hypertrophy adaptations.

[@user-he4ef9br7z]

Strength can be defined in multiple ways, not just powerlifter style A to B. Control is definitely strength.

[@tylerconroe9904]

I'm having a really hard time getting the center of my abs to build its like a small crater. I do hanging L sits I can't do a whole lot yet. And I don't do sit up bc of my back. Any suggestions? Edit: I also just do calisthenics

[@RayManAn]

Hey Bioneer I'm thinking about running a program where the exercise selection rotates every week, for example: Week 1 Bench Press Week 2 Dips Week 3 Bench Press etc. After two weeks of not having done an exercise, would my body have forgotten it?

[@sarasmr4278]

Why not alternate days instead of weeks, like a calesthenics program? Your body won't forget it, but there's an argument for frequency vs intensity for building skill. The body does a lot of the work in between sessions, so by having more frequent sessions, you're likely to progress faster. OTOH, the best workout program is the one you enjoy, so if that works better for you for whatever reason, by all means go for it!

[@ignacio4098]

That's why it's easier to build muscle when you have built it at some point in your life. A 40-year-old person who lost muscle mass will regain it faster than a 40-year-old person who has never trained.

[@shizu181]

Muscle memory is a myth. It is always same struggle to build muscle back up, the only difference is that you know how.

[@shizu181]

You are completely wrong about that. You can build muscle at any level and if you maximally tire particular muscle you will build larger and stronger muscle if you give it a proper nutrition and rest(sleep). You just saying about most efficient way to lift weights which will not recruit sufficiently muscles you target it will recruit more joints, momentum and whole a lot other muscles you dont want to recruit.

[@TheBioneer]

I’m also talking about *intramuscular* coordination. That has nothing to do with “other muscles.” You can only tire the muscle you’re able to use - so you need strength first. And more strength = greater results. Try getting someone who can’t wiggle their ears to build bigger ear wiggling muscles. Get it now?
