Good Lord.....I love this man.....PLEASE keep producing J.M. Blakely content..... PLEASEEEEE I pretty much only subscribed because of his table talks, these little tips/tricks/training are great!
I love it when the trainees absolutely kick butt...they are their to learn and work as hard as they can, great job! I’d say I’m jealous but it really encourages me.
Just started heavy partials recently.. The problem I found with them was they exhausted a very specific point in my tricep and the following weeks after my bench felt horrible because my triceps were so exhausted
Try pin presses in a lower range. And focus on your chest contraction. If your triceps are getting torched you aint using your chest, so its a waste of your time.
@@mrcommonsense9145 but they are mainly for your triceps.. And i felt in my chest to but my triceps were torched.. My bench didn't feel good for a month after
Q. I have long arms. If I do a pin press inches above my chest I can do 100 lbs more than I can with the bar starting on my chest. My tri's are strong. But can't feel my tris, chest or shoulders activate with the bar on my chest. What causes the bar to go up the first 4-6" off the chest? I feel no muscles working in that deep position. I just feel stretched w no leverage and no way to get the bar moving.
@@fanaticfloyd Leg drive? Are you heaving the bar? Initiating the movement with your legs isn't a good idea. You want them as stable as possible so you can be stable to press the bar
Pin presses are the closest you can get on your own, bands chains etc are about variable resistance, this is about beating the sticking point. For pin press you'd need to be in a power rack have the the bar restin on the supports at chest height and then safety pins set above you so the bar cannot go past a 1/3 or 2/3 rep and press, obvs the bar is going to hit those pins above you. Continue to push against it for a 3 count say, and then lower back.
@@mrcommonsense9145 I'm aware of all these. I'm basically wondering what the real benefit of this approach is given that westside has been teaching accommodating resistance for 30 years. This is basically: start from a sticking point add weight as you go up.
@@dessertstorm7476 My question is: Why do these vs the other accommodating resistance exercises? Is this better, worse a replacement, an add-on etc etc.
is there a way to do this kind of thing for squats wen you're alone? because with bands or chains you can only make the top part of the lift heavier right? but i want the drive out of the bottom/mid range to be heavier
@@MegDubu reverse bands dont make it heaviest in the bottom right, but rather the top as far as i cant see theres no real way to do so without someone pushing on it
@@brams7175 Ah, looks like I misunderstood where you wanted the weight heavier. I’ve heard pause or tempo squats are good for that, if you’re having trouble out of the hole. And I can’t remember the official name, but basically a squat grinder where you place unmovable resistance at your weak point and push as hard as possible for at least 5 seconds (like you’d do with a bench or press). Barbell logic had something on it in their podcast :]. Best of luck to you!!
Great vid from JM as usual.....but damn dude (the guy training), @7:27 you make the woman wipe your nasty sweat off the bench? Anyone hear of that thing called "consideration"? Bring a fuc*in towel!!! Nothing nastier and absurdly impolite than seeing someone leave a puddle on the bench and not give a shit for the next person coming up. I can see his hand on the bar so he's standing right there as she wipes, didn't even say "sorry".
Do 5s and triples if you like lifting heavy but you can do triples heavy triples for long you’ll burn out if ur looking for a bigger max bro you need the volume maxing all the time will hurt more than help I’ve only been lifting a year but I’ve learned it the hard way
@@72Dexter72Manley72 What will be pointless in couple of months. I rather know my max to load the lifts, than guess my max from the lifts. But back to the original, is maxing out once a month too often? Sounds sure as hell based on folks maxing out once a year...
@@demoncore5342 Maxing out every few months is what I have known works for most. I don't see the point of maxing out every month. I was referring to figuring out the max weight for using 5 reps for sets of 4,5, 6, or whatever. If I'm doing 5's for 6 sets. I know on set one, if I didn't have to work for rep 4 and 5 the weight is too light. But I also know if I barely got rep 5 on the first set the weight is too heavy for 5-6 more sets of that. The last two sets I should barely get reps 4 and 5. 💪🏾
I mean no disrespect to Mr. Blakely but I feel like this type of training might be a waste of time. He's trying to teach willpower, but I don't think willpower can be taught, you either have it or you don't. In this case, the guy was obviously much stronger but the woman preformed better because she kept fighting whereas the guy kept giving up and dropping the weight or trying to rack it instead of holding it at the top confidently.
You are right dude, you don't learn to have balls, but the more time you spend in that dark place, the more comfortable (that's BS, you can't be comfortable in there, but it's hard to draw a parallel) you are in there.
She has been training with JM for quite a while, and this guy was really just trying to get a groove for this new training style. She knew what to expect. As far as willpower...I’d say this was less about willpower and more about acclimation and adaptation to a new method.
He is teaching how to give maximum effort. Getting them used to giving maximum effort. This can be taught but the trainee has to want to do it. I love the feeling I get after grinding through a rep. I say to myself, COME ON YOU GOT MORE. Then the weights say back to me, No you don't. Lol 😂😆
@@samuelgardner5939 "Just doing" IS the training, doing the movements day after day week after week. He's trying to instill a greater level of effort and determination, which I believe can be improved on their own, but can't be taught by someone else. That's willpower. But maybe that's just my perspective.
I love all the JM episodes. The dude is so zen and breaks everything down to its most simple concept. More JM!!!
How many extra sets do you wanna do? The answer should be NONE. LOL. Love it.
Good Lord.....I love this man.....PLEASE keep producing J.M. Blakely content..... PLEASEEEEE I pretty much only subscribed because of his table talks, these little tips/tricks/training are great!
JM has his own channel with tons of great content on it, name is JM7thlevel
This man inspires me to learn the knowledge of powerlifting. I have the heart but need some of the knowledge this man posesses.
I could listen to this guy all day.
Him and Dave Tate! Favorite table talk!
This dudes forearms fill his shirt out where his biceps should that’s insane
Wish I had a training partner for these. I love rack lockouts to build my shirted bench
I love it when the trainees absolutely kick butt...they are their to learn and work as hard as they can, great job! I’d say I’m jealous but it really encourages me.
I learn something useful every time I watch this channel.
What a great trainer 💪🙏❤️
It's all about having the HEART.
He expected it to stay in... And it stayed in.
Another great video from JM there.
I will try this on monday
JM is such an inspiration love the JM press it's my favorite tricep exercise!!👍💪👏👌😎
Mine too!
Keep it up with JM vids
This is a clever way to train
Look at those forearms O_o
These are gold
thankyou JM
Damn, I saw the thumbnail and thought this was gonna be about meatball subs

Sounds more like nocebo. Barring injury it doesn’t take weeks to recover from a weight training session.
the man jm
Looking huge.
Sage wisdom
This gym has a million dollars worth of plates. And all the knowledge to use them.
Was that big Dave looking leaner in the background?!?!??
These look brutal and frustrating. I like it.
oh they certainly are
What is Zippy doing in the background?

Its All lats the first inches. And leg drive

Christmas came early
That was some good shit!!!💪👌👍🎅😎
I want to know the reasons for the 7 thumbs down from whoever posted them. Really interested in their reasoning for it.
Speed bench fanatics.
Cause the dude made the woman clean his nasty sweat off the bench with her knee!.
Good stuff cheers JM
How do you know what weight to use for this? My max is 355.
I’d do like 305. He said something you can usually do for about 6
What are the IG IDs of two persons who are benching?
If we don't have a partner, can we effectively replicate this with board presses+chains?
Pin presses are the closest you can get on your own, bands chains etc are about variable resistance, this is about beating the sticking point.

Not sure but she trains a lot with JM
Does JM have personal one on one clients?
Yes, he does. Message him on Instagram: @j.m.blakley if you want more info.

@@MegDubu yea i know about tho isometric things but it wanted it to move through like on the bench press here and wondered if it was at all possible
Pin squats
Just flex ur muscles. Lol
the guys gut is the biggest part of the picture

Guess I'm maxing out in training way to often. Me, I just go berserk and do or die and roll it down...

@@shakenbake6300 Sure, dut I need to know the max to load fives accordingly, right?
@@demoncore5342 You should be able to figure out your 5 rep max in one workout. So just pay close attention to the weight you are using.

lol
Wait, are u being serious right now or is that sarcasm

It can be taught and improved. It is literally the purpose of training. If it didn't there wouldn't be training there'd be just doing.
