Creatine worked very well for me. Probably because my diet does not have a lot of creatine to begin with. But unfortunately my doctor told me to stay away from it for awhile because of my gout. I'm going to talk to the doctor about starting up creatine again because I miss the strength and size gain from it.
So I should bulk up also? I’ve been focusing on 5 sets of 5 reps for now at a heavier weight. Maybe working accessory exercises at an 8-10 reps on some sets yet still want strength with those also so still keep those heavy enough for keeping it to 5 X 5.
Yo Matt, recently I did a mock meet and hit a 375lbs squat and 395lbs deadlift at a bodyweight of 160lbs. Every time I max, my squat only approaching my deadlift. This doesn’t make much sense to me as when I started lifting, my squat was a mere 95lbs while my deadlift was already around 185ish lbs. Additionally I have long legs proportionately to my height and my femur is 4 inches longer than my tibia. Since I started lifting, I’ve gained a total of 25lbs of bodyweight, which I believe is the main reason why my squat improved so much. I have an issue pulling past my knees on deadlift and would like to know a way I can fix it.
@@hx4422Pause is a good accessory and I’ll incorporate it every now and again as a replacement for T&G for a little period of time, but if you don’t plan on competing then it’s not a necessity. If paused feels better for you then it can be your main lift, otherwise using that stretch reflex for bigger weight with T&G is just as good
Could Seal Row be a good candidate for the fourth movement of powerlifting, trying to round up upper body work ? It would keep the barbell aesthetic, but it might be too subject to controversies with variations in arms length...
Man it could work if you just want to force your bench up neglecting all else. Damn, I did bench every day for a month my self, but that's more peaking than training to be honest.

Watching Matt do hypertrophy accessories is like watching a penguin fly.
What are the odds we see Matt doing a cable movement to failure in this one?
That could be good for accessories though.
@andrewtanczyk4009 Yes, Matt always says he likes his clients to take their accessories to or close to failure.
Maybe next week
Love these Matt
matts voice is dopamine in my brain
What are some positives and negatives to squatting and deadlifting on the same day
You squat and deadlift the same day. That can be both positive and negative.
Positive: You're squatting and deadlifting.
Negative: You're not benching.
how much did you gain when you used smolov?

try romanian deadlifts to train the hinge movement (top of deadlift movement)
should i still keep all my benches paused even if i don’t ever plan on competing? can strictly doing tng as my standard bench hurt progress somehow?
just gonna preface by saying i’m only 1 year into this thing. tng also got me 108% of my 1rm, and seeing bigger numbers is cool

matt, why is a belt considered raw in powerlifting?
Is Matt going to go head to head with Bryce at nats?! This feels like my two parents fighting
Any advice for bicep and forearm pain after heavy bench press? It seems some sort of tendonitis...
what should i do if an rpe 8 bench set (3-5 reps) feels like rpe 5, but rpe 9 feels like rpe 9?

No.
Yes
Sound advice
35 sets of bench per week Matt?
Very normal for powerlifting

Works fine, he did nearly double that in the past.
Matt da 🐐no 🧢
week ended early so he could go see pookie
Are you natural or enhanced ?
Just asking out of curiosity.
He competes tested
Enhanced by the plug.
@FilipGustawWojcik But is it possible to lift that much weight without the help of PEDs ?
@@agnikjanachannel I have no idea and doubt anyone really has answer to that
5 bench press on 1 week 😂😂😂
Powerbuilding for the win💪🏻
@@antiwufei553 In other words, powerbuilding is what everyone used to do before Joe and Arnold ruined strength sports.

Not as if bodybuilders try to progress anything, quite the opposite.
