[@efsihquq6280]

i have 2 questions. 1- is eccentric training(like 3.0.1 tempo) is the vital part of the sport specific hypertrophy? 2- if yes why don't we use those tempos in strength or power phases?

[@ArmasStrength]

Think of the hypertrophy as the armor of the body. Once we build the armor now we need the strength and power behind it. Also, tempo work is very taxing but that’s not to say we can’t do tempo in the lower rep ranges (under 6 reps). So it’s not that you can’t do it, you definitely can and potentially see some great results. But if you already did a hypertrophy phase for 4 weeks, and now you need to get strong and powerful by taxing your body the least, the max strength and power phase comes into place.

[@TommyJackA]

Hey coach, just wondering your opinion on injury prevention work, eg. Nordics, reverse nordics etc and frequency of doing it. Also I am currently returning from a hip flexor injury and I really wish I had strengthened it before I got injured so I was also wondering if you had any recommendations on how to strengthen it when I get back.

[@ArmasStrength]

I did a whole video on Nordics. You’ll find it here right arrow ➡️ Injury Prevention kzbin.info/aero/PLzPF6QwLoe-cp0OlKmmYaDJXJpjJnCGjG Best bet is to seek a professional. There are different reasons for getting injuries and they can better determine your weaknesses and compensations in person

[@roko_gang1162]

Hey coach, You gave us an amazing program in the video named "Intro to strength". What is the best way to proceed with this program? Should I stick with it for as long as possible or should I do it for a specific amount of time?

[@ArmasStrength]

To simplify things the best way to progress from here it is to lower the rep count for the compound lifts

May 29th I have a big opportunity to play for Levante in Spain and I need a program where I will get performance/aesthetics.

I don’t have a program for what you’re looking for. All my programs are even with upper and lower body training.

i am doing 1 day of only legs and the next day only upper body do you think is the same than do two consecutive days of mixed training like in this video or should i keep doing the same? ty coach !

[@ArmasStrength]

That really depends in the amount of volume you’re doing in that session. And that’s the key thing to look out for. I don’t know how your program looks like so I can’t tell you for sure but here’s what I would say. If you split that leg workout into two days along with your upper body , not only can you really focus and emphasize those specific movements (exercises)but now you have energy left to go sprint, jump, and do individual training.

[@djhagedoorn8629]

what’s the difference between power training en plyo’s

Power is a broad term and can include Olympic lifts, weighted jumps, and plyos. Plyos is a form of power oriented more on the right side of the force velocity curve (google this) where weighted jumps are on the left side

Sometimes it’s not even about being sore. It’s about, what exercises are going to be my biggest return on an investment? What exercises will increase my power and speed? As a beginner the higher rep ranges can do you justice. Follow the plan I have in this example but increase reps between 8-12. Once you feel comfortable and really want to get strong start going into the lower rep ranges.

Can i be a footballer with an aesthetic body ?

[@ArmasStrength]

I don’t see why you can’t. But when I’m training my players our main goal is performance. Looks won’t make us better players. A player needs to decide what their ultimate goal is and everything you do (training, lifestyle, nutrition) should be built on that main goal. Like I talk about in this video if you have the time and energy you can get an extra upper body sessions as long as you’re still prioritizing jumping and sprinting. This is what I tell my athletes. Lastly, I find that players who stick with one of my programs and is on top of their nutrition usually get great aesthetic outcomes.

So... CR7 obviously focused at least 50% of his workouts on selling his own image and making himself look as 'good' as possible, or at least that's how I see it. Messi barely looks anything like him physically, he's just lean and fit with some muscle of course, and he performs way better with the ball. I really don't understand why this isn't called out more, or at least I haven't seen it? To me it seems that looking like CR7, even though it's of course healthy overall, doesn't improve your footballing much. Don't get me wrong I still admire his career and dedication as a footballer, but I wish people could just be a little more real about this across the board. I see a lot of young players wasting their times lifting weights to have big arms and rock hard abs, and it's like.. there's only so much core strength you need before it becomes vain my man, lol! Peace out!

[@ArmasStrength]

Even top pros have said Messi is not normal even as a professional. I don’t think footballer should be comparing themselves to him. Now I’m not gonna sit here and say that weight training is the key thing to go pro because it’s not. Being good at football is what matters at the end of the day. However, Proper weight training like an athlete supplements your football game. My take is, do your best to maximize all qualities to enhance physical and mental abilities.

[@sirriffsalot4158]

Well alright, then let's put it this way: Excluding Messi and CR7 from this equation altogether, would working out more towards the approach a bodybuilder make you a better football player? Well no, clearly not. Workouts directed towards football obviously would, and those exercises don't get you that 'supermodel' look. They still look great of course! But most footballers just don't look like that, because that's not actually their focus, ya know?@@ArmasStrength
