    This is why I like Mark. He talks like an engineer when talking about the body, and he has an actual skeleton to point to to when describing how a barbell is lifted. This is 100% the best way to learn how to lift weights safely. Very few, if any, fitness channels on TH-cam are this meticulous in their lifting guides.

    First? There also has never been a better time for this video. I was literally JUST talking to someone about this exact topic. They were telling me that they were training high schoolers who were “bad” at holding back extension in the squat and deadlift and he was making them do Supermans to fix this problem. I was telling them that respectfully that is a quite nonspecific and silly way to work around having to properly coach the deadlift and squat, and provide cues that help the lifter do so. They told me that strength is not specific, it’s a general adaptation...THOUGHTS???

    • @lequack7130
      @lequack7130 4 ปีที่แล้ว +4

That being said, supermans are dumb relative to a load squat. The carry over doesnt make sense. Things such as weighted back extensions or reverse hyper extensions would be a hell of a lot more effective at strengthening that weakpoint for a strong carryover to the squat and deadlift.

      It’s useful to teach them what the muscles feel like so they can practice squeezing them and holding the position, I believe. Then they carry that familiarity over when they have a bar in hand. My guess from seeing the tactic used in some other clip somewhere.

    • @MatthiasWeinberger
      @MatthiasWeinberger 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Fr Mir Extension makes Spinal Stenosis worse. Thatˋs why flexing the spine makes the symptoms go away. So try not to overextend and maybe even go in the direction of slight flexion and control the position so that no additional movement occurs during the exercise? Easier said than done, I know.

    • @franciscomiranda6882
      @franciscomiranda6882 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Matthias Weinberger should I forgo the entire exercise altogether? Really don’t want to do that, but I feel like I might given that most of these strength training movements require extension..

    • @MatthiasWeinberger
      @MatthiasWeinberger 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      ​@@franciscomiranda6882 I could write a reply that is 2 pages long. ;-) The short version is this: Spinal Stenosis does one thing extremely well - it tells you exactly what it is willing to tolerate or not. All the usual "keep your back straight", "sit up straight", "good posture" bullshit makes the pain worse. Flexion however - sitting bent over with your head between your knees however feels great. It "opens up the spinal canal" so to speak (although that theory is seriously flawed and never has been proven to be right). Then we have Deadlifts: the single best Exercise on the Planet, Period. So what would I do? Do your Squats and Deadlifts and then sit with pronounced flexion during the rest period between sets. See if that helps. If not: finish your workout and lie down with spinal flexion (lie on your back, bring the knees towards your chest) - see if that works. If not: set the spine in slight flexion and try the exercises again. Just like Rip says: you cannot pick up an Atlas stone without flexion. And even Stuart McGill had to admit that basically all his work on spinal mechanics doesn't work when it comes to Strongman. Their discs should basically explode under such loads when flexed. So he wrote that setting it in flexion and keeping it there is Ok, just not additional movement into flexion. Super short version: try it with "decompression" between sets and afterwards. Adjust as necessary. ;-)

      An effective Q is to drop your balls down between your knees. You'll notice when you do, that something pulls up right above your tailbone. However, if you try to pull up that thing in the back directly instead of the dropping balls move you'll involuntarily contract a bunch of other stuff. At least that happens for me.

    Yet you guys a lot of the times only instruct us to “lift the chest up”, and if the hamstrings are fighting the pelvic position, “compensate by lifting the chest up even more”.the only problem with this is that the arms are anchored to the bar that sits on the ground. So in order for the back to become straight one has to tilt the pelvis in order to met with the chest.

      Starting Strength actually I’ve been thinking... rips ”original setup” squeezing the chest up cue, expressed in the 5 step setup should be enough? Because the erector spinea contracts concentricly evenly from both sides, so even if the chest can not come up any higher an increase in contraction should force the pelvis to rotate up into position anyway. Isn’t this right? Then this is really unnecessary to learn.
