    700lb one handed deadlift as an old school Natty might be one of the coolest things I've heard about this year. Already digging this channel.

      If you’re into old time strongmen in addition to Hermann Goerner check out Arthur Saxon, Angus MacAskill and Louis Cyr. Honorable mentions to Pyotor Krylov, Gregg Ernst, Paul Anderson and Georg Hackenschmidt.

      @@travisoutlaw9511 are you looking for historical information, wanting to train like them? Actual historically accurate (as close as possible with generally available knowledge) or looking to adapt some of their principles into your current training? Personally when figuring out my own training program I consider what I’m trying to accomplish out of a given exercise and if another exercise would be more effective? Or a higher carryover to my life/sport. As well as if another exercise would be able to accomplish said goals with a lower likelihood of injury. For example chest flys and bench press are comparably effective at chest development but flys are more likely to strain the subclavius as well as coracobrachialis (small muscles under the upper pec by the collarbone). That would make bench press a superior choice to flys. I like push press, standing press side press and get-ups but I don’t see a benefit to bent press in terms of muscular development to the previous options. Spines can handle a decent amount of strain in hinge motions such as deadlift, kettlebell swings and cleans but loads while doing a side bend or bending with a twist are how discs are blown out. Bent press does both at the same time. Typically our discs go bad through either bending over with a twist or accumulated bad posture. It’s typical that they seem fine until they’re not. Some people are more susceptible to disc injuries (or other injuries such as knees or shoulders) than others. The only way to tell is rolling the dice and finding out. As far as video channel recommendations I really like Dan John, Lebe Stark and Steve Cotter. Brian Ashruhle (not sure of the spelling), Redifining strength, Allan Thrall and Elliot Hulse/strengthcamp (he’s apparently said some off the deep end sexist crap but his training info is good) are also worth looking at. I will add “squat university “ to the list. If you can working with a very experienced trainer who been in the strength game for many decades is recommended. Or if you know old lifters (likely 60+) that have been at it a long time to train with/pick the brains of are also gold. If you’re in Los Angeles my buddy Tom Magee is a fountain of knowledge (Mr British Columbia for bodybuilding, set multiple Canadian National records for weightlifting, 2x world champion powerlifter heavyweight + 1x world champ super heavyweight, multi time finalist in worlds strongest man set a few strongman records too…). He’s still at it - no longer jacked muscle dude but has been steeped in physical culture without stop for 40+ years. Tom isn’t an expert in kettlebells but other strength training from strongman lifts to barbells is very knowledgeable. Odd Haugen is another guy to look up. When it comes to bending metal Dennis rogers is the man.

    watching your videos a year ago inspired me to switch to old school lifts mostly, i been deadlifting every training session for like 53 days, in all sorts of weights and variations, most variations hitting legs, but training for conventional numbers, about 30 pounds off from 3x bodyweight, being at 180lbs rn.
    jefferson curls, zercher jerfferson curls, every variation of possible. every training session, my body's mechanism has improved million and my strenght within a short period of time. you are changing lives.

    @BulkBrogan. 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Matt Wenning talks about the importance of rotating lifts and having a large "Exercise Library" to avoid cumulative fatigue and also to stave off the law of accomodation
    As a advanced lifter you lose the maximum adaptation from doing a lift after doing it for one mesocycle and once you're advanced enough maybe even 1-2 weeks
    So hy rotating many exercises you get to hammer the same muscles from all angles and also offset diminishing returns and cumulative fatigue.

      My #1 is "Super Strength" by Alan Calvert. Very well written overview of lifting in the 20s. Also "the Super Athletes" by David Willoughby just for an idea of the sheer variety of lifts that were performed, with absolutely no how-to. Both of Arthur Saxon's books are worth a read, if Very short.

    Very impressive mobility work but I have to say, what you're talking about in the video does sound a bit like what Joel Seedman suggests: Unconventional lifts that put you in less stable positions.
    I just don't see why I should include those over the tried and true "normal" lifts we have.

    Hey man, I think this might be dumb question to ask. I primarily like kettlebells for my training along with basic BW stuff (pushups, Pullups and dips). Can I expect a good deal of growth and strength all these lifts you stated in this video with heavy kettlebells?

    • @atlaspowershrugged
      @atlaspowershrugged  2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Kettlebells are an awesome tool if used properly, definitely!

    • @stefhirsch6922
      @stefhirsch6922 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Heavy kettlebells are just as good at building mass as heavy dumbbells. Cleans, presses, squats/lunges (of all of the variations back lunge, split squat, front squat, front/rear/both foot/feet elevated split squats…), loaded carries, get-ups… are all excellent at building strength and mass. Assuming that you have a solid foundation of strength training a combination of heavy sets of 1-5 reps and lighter work of 8+ are going to deliver results. I don’t recommend that beginners lift weights so heavy that they can’t do at least 8 repetitions with good form until they have spent at least 6 months consistently lifting sets of 8-20+ reps to condition their connective tissues. I’m really happy with my competition style adjustable kettlebells that go from 26lb/12kg-70lb/32kg are what i use the most. I haven’t found any decent adjustable kettlebells heavier than 70lb/32kg so it requires collecting a number of heavy fixed weights.

    Read the Word for yourself, not only relying on others for guidance. Pray for guidance.Yahushua/Yeshua - His Hebrew name who is usually called (Jesus) taught to keep the whole Word. Including the Law/Torah. Matthew 5:17 “Do not presume that I came to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I did not come to abolish, but to fulfill. 18 For truly I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not [g]the smallest letter or stroke of a letter shall pass from the Law, until all is accomplished! 19 Therefore, whoever nullifies one of the least of these commandments, and teaches [h]others to do the same, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever [i]keeps and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven." Read 1 John. John tells us that sin is lawlessness, and that we must keep the commandments. Trust in the atonement of Yahushua/Yeshua who is usually called Jesus, and keep God (YHWH)'s whole Word/commandments. Revelation 12:17 So the dragon was enraged with the woman, and went off to make war with the rest of her children, who keep the commandments of God and hold to the testimony of Jesus. Revelation 14:12 Here is the perseverance of the saints who keep the commandments of God and their faith in Jesus.
