What do you think about changing grips or stances during certain exercises to overload certain muscle groups more than others? Doing things like going from a chin up to a pull up, alternating each set or going from a regular overhand grip deadlift to a snatch grip.
I completely agree regarding the lack of scrutiny and critical thinking in S&C. - I currently have a bee in my bonnet due to people saying that an exercise "expresses" a quality, e.g. rate of force development, but simultaneously doesn't improve that quality. What is the scientific basis for claiming there is any causation between how much a quality is expressed during a movement and its subsequent improvement from that movement? It seems baseless to me. How do you know that one movement that expresses quad strength, e.g. leg extensions, is any better at developing quad strength than another movement that expresses quad strength, e.g. squats? Is it always that the more "expressive" exercise is worse? or better? How is it physically possible that an exercise expresses a quality, but doesn't train it? and doesn't improve it?
I completely agree and have wondered this myself, the evidence is lacking and it's mostly intuition based. HOWEVER, through practical experience it turns out that this is basically true. Sprinting makes you sprint faster, stretching makes you access more ROM, Lifting to failure makes you bigger and stronger. I'd still like someone to prove it/expand on the evidence though.
@@cheeks7050 The biggest problem is that people say the opposite, they'll say something like "sprinting is an expression of your rate of force development, but doesn't directly train and improve it. You need to do X instead." Everyone knows that sprinting makes you better at sprinting, but this doesn't seem to click with some people regarding all exercises.
@@craigdoef Yep, I now believe that generally expressing a quality is the same thing as training it. There is some nuance and exceptions but they're mostly based on what's practical.
I appreciate the not caring about anything but dunking a basketball. My Quixotic goal is to dunk a basketball (for the first time in my life). I can touch rim at 51. I've probably lost about lost about 6 inches of max vert since age 18, but that includes about 30 years of being pretty sedentary, and the high school years plus about 2-5 years I had almost no idea how to do anything about it.
How would you structure a program for a 32 year old former collegiate baseball player (catcher) with no Olympic weight lifting experience who is currently a desk jockey for a living?
For an in season college athlete, would you do a more Cory Schlesinger style approach where you lift/train hard on Gamedays and practice days, and take off days fully off from sports/training Or a more similar model to you right now where you train basically everyday to a different extent, lifting, sprints Plyos, aerobic, even a short arm day here and there.
podcast would be cool. i like to listen to vids more than watch them. would your pod be in the context of athletics or would you branch out to other topics like hypertrophy?
I think you especially should debate if you're hard core for or against something. If you feel so strongly about whatever it is, defend your position publicly. If not, you're soft and your position/arguments to defend said topic probably sucks.
If you keep it real (like I feel you do in your videos here), DEFINITELY do the podcast. It's perhaps a bit of a superfluous remark because I feel you'll almost surely do this (as per your debate remarks in the vid here), but also invite people who will hold different opinions a little bit or a lot. Otherwise it's just going to end up being a parrot show.

That set of 500x5 pin squat looked tough, but I still think those single leg hops are tougher.
I ran some 'Gwiz jumps' from Garage strength as jumps for my last training cycle. They are pretty brutal as well haha
Here from Alan’s interview, newly subscribed!
Bring on Bald Omni Man
That does sound fun but they have very different reasons for training so I don’t know how that would go. Besides them being really strong and jacked!!
@@jmend2223 yeah. mainly I want a cross over between the noble natties and the S&C meatheads
maybe Alec Enkiri? As far as I can tell him and Will have the exact same goal.
@@dstowecool4 would be goated
@@dstowecool4 The ultimate echo chamber
Need a podcast with Sticky Ricky "Dr Sizzle" del Hagen someday. Perfect for the raw not politically correct meathead content
Good session.....Thankyou Will. You're SQUATS are something else.
I genuinely appreciate the videos and they have made me thoroughly rethink my own training and programming for clients as well.
We are honored his HOSSNESS holds us in such high regard. Ratelle 2.0 will need to happen in the future.
I think the second sideways jumps where not medial as you said but rather lateral. And as always, great vlog!
Huge fan of your content man - thank you for lifting heavy and keeping it real.

I love you will!!❤
Barbell Nerds was a dope podcast, even with your valid critiques. Would love a revival of the pod! HOSS: Unfiltered!
I respect the nod to the all black outfit. I couldn’t imagine lifting in any other fit than the straight black

Bro, you should definately do a podcast!! 🙏
Been binging your videos. Good thing you have a ton of them 😂 im set
- Edit: Yes we NEED a podcast
Hoss Unit podcast would be fire! Destroying gimmick shit is best thing to watch, that would be cool weekly segment :)
Hey Will. Curious if you ever read the Tactical Barbell books, and how do you like them as a general s&c training system. All the best!
Check out the Podcast Sh*t Talk from Sika Strength
What would you do if you didn’t have hurdles any safe alternatives that you would recommend?
Bring the Barbell Nerds podcast back!
was that second set ever done.....#CossackGate
Lol
It must kill the strength Coach Network guys that Will is more athletic than all of them and disagrees with their views 🤣🤣🤣
If you do the podcast I'll listen.
Great show! Do you do hill sprints?
What are your thoughts on hypertrophy and Paul Carter, so called hypertrophy specialist?
How would you structure a program for a 32 year old former collegiate baseball player (catcher) with no Olympic weight lifting experience who is currently a desk jockey for a living?
Any chance you go for a chat with Alexander Bromley? It would be great to hear you guys discussing, especially about volume.
I messaged him one time and he didn’t reply lol
@@willratelle8027 Damn. All right, I will start working that flank, then.
I appreciate your work, and great chat with Alan.

Do you ever worry about how your left and right leg feel individually when doing one legged jumps? Sometimes I get a different feeling in each leg
Thoughts on ATG?
Which cam and mic do you use?
Elite
What's your take on making training recommendations on ISA archetypes
I could guess what you'll say, just interested on your take!
truth
Do a pod!!
Lol u just explained my mid life podcast crisis to a T
!!!!!!!

A podcast where it’s not gay recycled content would be cool
