    Thanks for tuning in, hope you guys enjoy the video. One mistake that I do want to correct in this video is with skull crushers. You can in fact go behind the head with this exercise as long as you're doing it in a controlled way without using the momentum from your lats. The same points still apply though, make sure you keep your elbows tight and dont swing with the shoulders. Also as far as excessively arching on the bench press i meant to have khalid lift his hips off the bench. That would be considered excessive. As long as your hips stay on the bench you should be alright.

      if s/he's a stranger, don't do that unless s/he is at serious imminent danger (e.g deadlifting and his legs are already wobbling uncontrollably due to excessive weight). it's actually a gym etiquette issue walking up to people and coaching them on proper form. although i would commend you for your initiative, maybe best to tell the gym admin of your concern and let them to talk to the guy instead. maybe the gym admin folks can even confirm that the guy is doing OK. none of us are always right, you know.
      again, don't do walk up to strangers giving unsolicited advice unless s/he is at serious imminent risk. it's a gym etiquette thing.

    I actually started doing dips,pull ups as half reps first and a few weeks later i started doing 1-3 reps the way i was supposed to,your body can adapt and you will develop strength for the movement just know when you do them,do them as negatives go down slow,and try to hold it you will gain strength in those areas and start to do them naturally.

    • @cobbler88
      @cobbler88 5 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      My experience with his vids is mixed. In pretty much every vid of his where he has a list of some sort, there is at least one item that is outdated, if not incorrect/bro science.
      I think he's coming from a sincere position, but as he says, his knowledge is based on lifting and working as a trainer. He doesn't really have the depth of knowledge that some other YTers have in this area (and I think we've all seen our share of trainers in gyms we wouldn't trust), but he's doing his best.
      I'm not sure why tricep extensions were included at all, as the info differs depending on what sort of handle your using (as he pointed out). And doing skull crushers with your arms back a little more is more efficient and beneficial than the conventional way that has you at almost complete rest in the neutral position. But it's often part of a four-part movement that incorporates a small pullover as well.
      I find this guy likeable, though, and it's not likely that anyone's going to get hurt by the info he's putting out there. Hopefully he's still curious so that his knowledge will continue to grow. There's nothing wrong with doing a "Things I wasn't quite right about" vid every once in awhile. :)

    For skull crushers i like to bring the bar behind my head and contracting the bicep on the way down for the full range of motion. Also i dont bring it all the way vertical but ending slighly backwards with stretched arms.

    So on the lunges I have always thought not to have Knee over toe, but recent events AKA talking to a D1 strength coach, I have now changed that thought. You get more ankle and knee mobility if you do knee past toes even if it is more "stress" as long as its not too much weight. I believe mobility is more important in the lunges and split squats, but with heavier weights you shouldn't go knee past toes.

    2:00 if you want to target hamstrings and glutes more you put your foot farther forward and keep your knee behind the toe. If you want to target quads more put your knee above your toe and keep your feet a little closer together.
    4:40 you want to “stick your chest out” as much as possible and create a nice big curve in your upper back so you are grounded properly and your chest is more optimized to work instead of your delts look up Jeff Nippard bench press tips for this.
    9:02 you also want to move your torso backwards a tad (half step backwards) on the second half of the push down to keep a constant pull on the muscle in contraction
    10:45 your lats only take over if your arms move. If you lock your elbow above your neck/chin then you keep your tricep contracted throughout the whole workout which increases metabolic stress and helps to build muscle.

    @MrBrooksV 2 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    A key element of exercising is auditing your form. It’s beneficial to have a gym partner go with you from time to time and check with them to measure your form, but also utilizing mirrors when you’re alone. Injuries and imbalances don’t happen overnight, it’s a gradual process over time usually because there is a lack of mobility/flexibility/stability that causes the range of an exercise to change. Before you know it, boom tendinitis.

    Noone is perfect, everybody does mistakes and there no one who knows everything, but it always surprises me, when I see people at the gym with absolutly NO control over their body and no feeling how to execute an exercise, even without coaching or looking up on the internet. For me its just logical to perform these exercises the right way, it just feels right. Especially when thinking about which muscle to address proper. For so many people its just not natural.

    Have to disagree on the skull crusher's depending on which head of the tricep you want to emphasize, as another comment says Jeff from AthleanX also says the same and I personally get a much better contraction on the triceps doing it the "lat" way this dude says.
    Just my opinion and personal preference. Good luck with the gains everyone 💪❤️

    Mike from Elk Grove California age 63. I'm glad to see a segment on "Do and Don't " at the gym. Im a former bodybuilder and I'm aware famalier with good technique. I I work out at at a gym and I see constant member's not properly controlling not only the weights but lack of proper form. Needless to say, on a day to day basis PT's just hangiut behind the front counter not walking around to assist those that need even alittle guidance. Just the other day I took it upon myself to help a young adult with their bench press as he was only bring the bar halfway down, fortunately he was willing to listen and learn. I'm physically challenged, full spinal hardware, but on January 30, 2022 I set a New Record for my age and weight class Decline Bench Pressing 325 lbs. Its posted on TH-cam as "325 lb Decline Bench Press Age 63 Wt 189."

    For lat pulldowns i mostly just think of them similarly to doing a wide grip pull-up, makes the form much easier

    I used to not be able to do 45's at all on bench. Then when I started benching heavier weights closer to my max at only 3-4 reps on push days, I'm now at 185 on my max so far.

    There is form for average results and form for exemplary results. Partial benches , heavy swing curls, close grip db presses are advanced and legitimate temporary plateau breakers. Used often in Olympic and powerlifting. In bench, for example..lifting the 1st 1/3 only or the last third, if your lift is weak there. Same for overhead press.

    Some of this I already knew and some gave me an improved perspective on things I only thought I knew. Answers to the questions we all occasionally ask ourselves (into the mirror as we work out) are the ones you have an uncanny ability to focus upon quite often. There is no worse enemy to one's consistency than to think you may be executing your routine to less than maximum advantage. Your videos all seem to keep this all-important constant in view.

    The skull crushers going behind the head I completely disagree with, I've noticed if you go right behind the head you get a much greater range of motion. If you lock your shoulders and bend just at the elbow you're not using your lats now the second that you turn it into a reverse row motion yes then you are using your lats, but if you're just bending your elbows no.

    9:05 I don't agree with you here. There have been multiple studies which show that the lats are more active if you lean back slightly (about 15°). Also, another study also proved that a little bit of momentum actually benefits lats activation.
