You Should Be Programming This Every Week!

[@BrandoTheMando87]

I’ve been subscribed for years and admittedly haven’t watched a video in a year or more. This video brought me back in so happy to give that feedback to you. I think a lot of us who started lifting in the mid 2010s and are a little older now are starting to feel it.

Appreciate that a ton man! You should def stay tuned because not only are my recent videos all about the CNS, health and other factors, I’m also starting a new company. It’s a holistic coaching company and while it’s not just about fitness, it’s definitely including a ton of healthy lifting advice that won’t be anywhere else. I went through a huge life change about 3 years ago and really have moved away from traditional approaches and heavy lifting.

@@BrendanTietz sounds great. I have done literally everything to try and fix my issues and Conor Harris/PRI/rib cage mobilization, and active mobilization using full ROM are the only modalities that have ever made a significant impact for me. My Rec Fems are literally like steel cables from never being trained properly.

@@BrandoTheMando87mobility is the smallest fix. It’s your CNS. Get a whoop. Start tracking your HRV religiously. Would be surprised if it’s well below 100. Get that HRV up. Fix your diet and sleep. Only eat unprocessed foods from the earth. I used to think all that was bs and it changed all my pains and injuries. My CNS was inflamed af and I along with most people have horrible free radical build up causing constant joint pain and disease. Black out your room like a dark room with curtains and blinds. Set temp to 66 to sleep and start tracking your sleep. More than likely your rem to deep to light sleep are out of ratio and your overall health is low. The fitness industry is a lie man, everything they promote is deleterious. The fuckin hippies were right the whole time tbh lol.

@@BrendanTietz I agree. I work for a very popular HRT/Heath optimization company and I train health coaches. I see hundreds of bloodwork results from the layman to “healthy” fitness influencers and it is not pretty. I start my day wearing toe spreaders and going outside onto the grass to soak up the San Diego sun, and that alone has done so much for me. We all just need to get a little more balanced sympathetic vs. parasympathetic. I’m all in on that hippie shit now.

Clarence had knee surgery if i'm not mistaken or at least a serious knee injury which forced him to change his squatting technique. And now he has hip problems because the new technique was more hip dominant. Although to be fair the reason he is injured is because he was pushing his squat volume(poor fatigue management) not the technique per se.

Thank You Sir 😊

[@MegaDonaldduck1]

Really like your videos. Always good information, and feel like Im learning new things.

I love you Brendan

[@brownmamba6538]

Good video! Could these be done on a rest/active recovery day? And how would you program face pulls to improve shoulder external rotation?

[@BrendanTietz]

You could but I’d highly recommend doing it on its own specific day and having a full training day. Usually I recommend 4 day splits with a fifth functional day. I program face pulls on upper days usually since I’m already hitting rear delts!

[@brownmamba6538]

@@BrendanTietz got it. And what set and rep scheme do you use with the face pulls? And how long should I hold the externally rotated position of each rep?

5’11 is actually average height for white guys in the US That’s not lanky

[@BrendanTietz]

Lanky has nothing to do with height, its limb length in relation to torso length. We’re observing moment arm distribution and its increase in relation to arm and leg length. Also it’s worth mentioning that the average powerlifter height is much shorter and since we’re subjectively viewing this archetype through the lens of powerlifting we can then deduce 6’0” plus as very lengthy even if we’re discussing total height in population. On top of that your data is off. Recent consensus data has average Caucasian height at 5’9.5” so everything about your statement is just misconceived
