Stan Efferding takes Chad Wesley Smith through a 'Rhino-Style' training session. Get stronger and build more muscle with the JuggernautAI App, try it 2 weeks FREE at www.juggernaut...
It's a beautiful kind of masochistic--I have a personal thing where I don't allow myself to add weight until I can hit it 20 times in a row and still have the ability to do basic math and know what day it is and say my name. A and O times 3.
Its incredible watching Stan talk about what he loves, clearly so passionate about his lifting and getting stronger. Absolutely inspirational stuff, screw the people who just see a meathead he is a very intelligent passionate man.
Awesome seeing two of the strongest and smartest lifters working together, and what a testament to sub maximal training, Chad has squatting 440kg and he had a great workout using 185kg and 155kg, even down to 110kg in the end there, you don't always have to lift heavy to lift heavy 💪
If so.......what does that have to do with my statement? Just felt like being a dick? Do you even lift? Just had to throw some shade.......just being honest.
It's so much easier to critique the people who are actually doing it from your couch than it is to do it yourself. I can't think of any other reason why you'd make that comment. Keep putting your energy there bud. Let's see where it takes you.
Thanks guys, keep on with the sharing. I love how you all are working together spreading the love of iron. I watch both you and Smelly along with others so it's great when you get together.
Somewhere in the 6:00-6:40 time period, we have blue plates going on with the print facing out on one side, and facing in on the other side. Nnnnnnoooooooooooooooo!!!!
This is why ALL men of ALL ages MUST urgently TH-cam!!!: MGTOW. This is is one of the best channels for newbies: th-cam.com/channels/rBFmNZB-Pwk1n0Bk_Ivwbw.htmlvideos
Stan's the man. And so right about switching to high bar and going ATG on each rep. Gotta dig deep for the meat and potatoes. I've been doing 20 ssb squats, then 20 zerchers, then 20 trap bar dl. Im going to try doing multiple sets with the ssb and shortening the rest periods. Thanks, you guys are inspiring. Im at age 65, and I think Squats and sleds should be everyone's medical plan.
I appreciate this to no end! I never see people doing this. I have lifted like this(when I lift) since I was in middle school. 2x a week I also add a fatigue set as the last set of each movement. Drop the weight to the original starting and go until fatigue. Many times that equals 60 to 100 reps.
Chad I hope you read this, 1:14 for the 500 meter sprint on a Concept 2 is VERY impressive, you really are in with a shot of smashing that world record and I hope you do
Excellent guys! I enjoy what both of the guys have to say. I can tell Chad is a good dude. 😁 It sucks to be getting back into shape and stand next to some guy that watches what he eats constantly. I like it that Chad is strong as hell, but is willing to humble himself.
Fuck Stan is jacked as hell!!! He puts other powerlifters TO SHAME in this department. Big props to Stan, he is one hell of a deadlifter, and he doesn't look like a jelly roll.
Just went and did my 20 reps for 5 sets....Holy crap. A little embarrassing how light I had to go but man does it burn and leaves you winded as soon as you unrack it. Thanks Stan! badass workout I'll be looking to improve on
doing these 20ies (3x20) for 6 months now in the endphase 3. phase of one training (1. would be Main movement according to the stuff i've read in the juggernaut ebooks and podcasts etc, 2. would be some assistance movements with a lil bit higher reps than the main movement) and I've got stronger in all my lifts. My knee isnt swollen anymore after squats and I recover like shit. Juggernaut x Efferding is the perfect way for me. 655/450/705 my numbers so far. Ty very much to you 🤘🏻
I've always wanted to give it a try but just like you mentioned I have always wondered how would you dictate if the load actually trains your muscle endurance instead of your hypertrophy. Will definitely give it a try.
Mad interesting how Stan's view on extensions in relation to lower back pain. Reverse hypers & weighted oblique twists did wonders for my lower back/trunk (core). I can also imagine DB farmer's walks won't engage my core nearly as much as the handles you guys are using. I need to try those ASAP. Thanks for the video.
Dennis D thanks for your input! i found it mad interesting as well, how do you hit weighted obliques? exercise ball? i need to find a way to do the reverse hyper extensions you mentioned as my gym dont have that rack. cheers bro!
>Exercise Ball ranging from 10lbs to utmost 20lbs for sets of 10 to failure. Messed with the idea of using a plate but felt awkward (to each its own though) >Yeah bro the reverse hyper in addition to using the ab wheel/stretches/mobility/etc. >I actually had to go to several gyms to use their Reverse-Hyper as mine at the time did not have it as well. Cheers.
I always wondered why strongmen are so much bigger then powerlifters when their diets are extremely similar. Never really thought about the handling of heavy weights for long periods of time being the factor but it totally makes sense. Looks like I'll be getting a hex bar for some farmers walks.
Well I'll look forward to additional footage, hopefully in the near future as it's always a solid source of motivation for me. I'm very much enjoying your "Cowboy Method" currently.
Are you going to pick a time soon when you can put the coaching/business development etc on the back burner or just a back step on some so you can really get back to training? Watching you get back the strength would be a cool process to see. or are you just so burnt out from training that you don't see something like that happening?
Juggernaut Training Systems couple of serious questions. 1. is there a difference in the support you get when it comes to knee wraps vs knee sleeves? 2. With that said, would the stance matter for the wraps and sleeves? 3. is the gym a crossfit gym or regular gym? I look forward to your reply.
1. Much. Even the smallest sleeve is maybe give 20# of carryover and most of that is from psychological and propioceptive reasons. There are lifters getting over 100# out of wraps. 2. I don't think its necessary to change stance but the technique to maximize wraps is a bit different. 3. We share a 10,000 sq ft space with a CrossFit gym.
Hey friends. I still don’t understand the rep concept. In other words, does he mean that 20 to failure is just as good for hypertrophy as 10 to failure, etc? And why does leg workouts usually have higher reps than the 8-10 range? Thankd
Whats gets me, is every guy with big, or bigger muscles than most, just goes into the gym and puts a weight on and lifts it ??? Lets just say you did 5 sets of 15 reps for triceps on four exercises, HOW, do you know how much weight to put on for each set ??? Wayne
when i was doing 20 rep squats i was unable to add any weight to the bar after even 3 months. i felt fitter for sure and was able shorten the rest periods but it was frustrating to be stuck at 90lb
I can't even count to 20, much respect to Chad and Stan.
bro it goes 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10-11-12-13-14-15-16-17, and uhhh .....nevermind
Anyone who's done 20 rep squats knows it's a special kind of masochistic.
any time i do sets of 10 i lose count due to the lack of oxygen in my brain. after watching Stan explain it, i'll try breathing more.
MrJosh6889 Yes. Yes, indeed.
It's a beautiful kind of masochistic--I have a personal thing where I don't allow myself to add weight until I can hit it 20 times in a row and still have the ability to do basic math and know what day it is and say my name.
A and O times 3.
Johnny Sins has been packing on muscle lately. Damn.
Hahahahahahaha 😂 😂 DEAD
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂
Love how Chad grabs a 20kg plate like it's a toy lol.
25kg
Noticed that to
Its incredible watching Stan talk about what he loves, clearly so passionate about his lifting and getting stronger. Absolutely inspirational stuff, screw the people who just see a meathead he is a very intelligent passionate man.
Stan changed my life and health for better, he is amazing
Stan: "I Don't like to talk between sets of 20"
/talks to Chad between his sets of 20
lol, That's an old ACSM trainer trick to gauge RPE, if they can talk they aren't anywhere close to 8/10+ RPE
You guys are always putting out great content
Not much is more soul crushing than high rep squats
High rep dead's fucks me up even more.
Outland probably cuz form is shit if you try more than 1 rep
Outland not you personally but anybody, highrep bench, squats pr deads are known to destroy the body
Awesome seeing two of the strongest and smartest lifters working together, and what a testament to sub maximal training, Chad has squatting 440kg and he had a great workout using 185kg and 155kg, even down to 110kg in the end there, you don't always have to lift heavy to lift heavy 💪
Been following Stan for years and it still surprises me how jacked he is when he does carries lol
Gonna be so good at getting groceries
ONE TRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIP!
JTS right next to Costco...coincidence? I think not.... ;)
Tyler Hansen haha
Two class acts, two brilliant minds and two monsters!
and 2 drug addicts...just being honest
great vid
If so.......what does that have to do with my statement? Just felt like being a dick? Do you even lift? Just had to throw some shade.......just being honest.
lol rocco never said it was bad , I think steroids show a high level of commitment etc. and would rather watch roided lifters
It's so much easier to critique the people who are actually doing it from your couch than it is to do it yourself. I can't think of any other reason why you'd make that comment.
Keep putting your energy there bud. Let's see where it takes you.
I wish I knew what Mr. Efferding did for his front delts?
Thanks guys, keep on with the sharing. I love how you all are working together spreading the love of iron. I watch both you and Smelly along with others so it's great when you get together.
" I am very nervous about the next ten minutes of my life " LOL AHAHAHAHAAH
excellent content Chad!!!
Watching the two of you on the farmers carry...was truly incredible... Juggernaut has helped erase broscience....
Stan is in his 50's is he? unreal condition.
Will turn 50 this year.
Vascularity and dryness actually tends to get better with age.
He would make a great bad guy in a movie. :)
This dude loves the tren...
Chads face and nervous smile cracked me up when Stan started talking about 20 rep sets with short rests at 500...
Efferding is indeed a master.
Stan definitely looks jacked & tan here
I have learned so much from both of these guys. Stan in person and Chad via video. Thank you both so much for providing Great Content.
Thanks
the squat forms on Effing rhino and Chaddy bear are so unreal.. EVery rep so precise, so smooth, OMG..
when Stans biceps has abs ._.
Stan looks like he's in his 30's but he's 50. Life goals right there.
Great video in every aspect. Some awesome training footage and loads of information. Thanks a lot!
Two of the best and smartest lifters. Good Video
500 for 22.... what the fuck!? Lol
27:50 Haha man... Back thickness of peace.
Somewhere in the 6:00-6:40 time period, we have blue plates going on with the print facing out on one side, and facing in on the other side.
Nnnnnnoooooooooooooooo!!!!
What about 20 rep bench?
The chicks at juggernaut are so hot

@@decathlete2000 stfu.
the farmer's walk is one of the greatest exercises known to humankind
So much good information, thank you gentlemen.
12:30 - "WTF did I just sign up for?"
This is an incredible info. Than you so much for your work. Hugs from Spain.
Stan's the man. And so right about switching to high bar and going ATG on each rep. Gotta dig deep for the meat and potatoes. I've been doing 20 ssb squats, then 20 zerchers, then 20 trap bar dl.

I welded up a pair of these farmer handles like yours they work greatly.
Great video with awesome athletes/coaches. Solid information, thanks guys!
😂😂😂 chads last squat set was hilarious
Chad, are you going to post a DOMS report after this?
Quads were sore for like a week.
Juggernaut Training Systems 😬😬😬
Did you do the squats and then the carries right afterwards?
About 10 minutes between.
Can you ask Stan about front delts? Thanks
no wonder that son goku and vegeta are strong as fuck :o they r always training in the gravity chamber :O
how many biceps does the Rhino have in 1 arm???
I was going to like this, but Chad kept his shirt on.
Really appreciate the lav audio (and general production quality).
dude! gotta love when the ole Rhino is around!!!!! awesome!
STAY HEALTHY STRONG AND FIT!!
very well spokane and easy to watch and listen to. well done
chad makes the bar look so small
god damn it stan, you put the plate on the wrong way
Noel Cordero can u lift it? ijs
I for sure built the hell out of my traps with farmers walks
This is the best condition i've ever seen Stan in. New subscriber, looking forward to other content
As Michael "The Voice" Schiavello would say, Rhino has more muscles than a sea food platter.
When is Chad going to hit depth.. Rhino's form is immaculate.. Especially at his age
the thought of doing multiple sets of 20 with squats is slightly terrifying
I could listen to these guys talk all day
Love the Odd Haugen mention in the weighted carries section!
That looks like an absolute nightmare. I think I’m going to implement this into my training.
Loaded HIIT. That's a new one. "Euphoric is in the eye of the beholder."
Chad said taht between bouts of cardiac arrest
I'm gonna start this with what I get now (my body weight). Thanks for sharing this content!
I appreciate this to no end! I never see people doing this. I have lifted like this(when I lift) since I was in middle school. 2x a week I also add a fatigue set as the last set of each movement. Drop the weight to the original starting and go until fatigue. Many times that equals 60 to 100 reps.
Thank you Chad and Stan
Stan: we're about to fuck him up
Chad: you got me fucked up
Chad I've always wondered why you didn't continue competing in strongman?
2 Herniated Discs. Was just simpler to only continue in powerlifting since the training can be a bit more controlled.
Chad I hope you read this, 1:14 for the 500 meter sprint on a Concept 2 is VERY impressive, you really are in with a shot of smashing that world record and I hope you do
It's great to see this because so many people say anything higher than 12 is pointless.
Excellent guys! I enjoy what both of the guys have to say. I can tell Chad is a good dude. 😁 It sucks to be getting back into shape and stand next to some guy that watches what he eats constantly. I like it that Chad is strong as hell, but is willing to humble himself.
The Rhino is more "Jacked" than ever.
fantastic video, both are brilliant athletes and teachers!
Fuck Stan is jacked as hell!!! He puts other powerlifters TO SHAME in this department. Big props to Stan, he is one hell of a deadlifter, and he doesn't look like a jelly roll.
Some strong women in the background.
Bumper plates,
Chad definitely took a 4 hour nap after this workout lol
I'm so gonna do this. I'm constantly torn between wanting to be strong as fuck like a powerlifter and super conditioned like a crossfitter
Just went and did my 20 reps for 5 sets....Holy crap. A little embarrassing how light I had to go but man does it burn and leaves you winded as soon as you unrack it. Thanks Stan! badass workout I'll be looking to improve on

damn those are really impressive numbers you are creeping up on a 2,000 pound total.
Watched this video couple of times and only now seeing Kristin Pope in the background lol
Lol chad repping out like 20 reps for 4 sets of 3 times my one rep max or some shit..... I'M SO PATHETIC
Steven James Porter you shouldnt compare to the ninth best of all time brother, hes been training for a loooooooooong time
Strengthletics haha I know I know thanks! I mean it more jokingly. I actually prefer the thought that I have a potential of that much to grow.
chad would look the same as stan if he cut down. Impressive Conditioning of both!
Vrominator X exactly.
Two incredibly impressive athletes. Great video!
Chad needs a two gallons Kooler

20 reps with with stan efferding style vs 20 reps with higher weight and longer rest intervals,thoughts?
Awesome video guys!
*bonus* nothing like a big fella with a good squat 😍
Awesome video!
500 for 20, Jesus Christ.
Strong pair of legs
Stan looks so badass. Scary!
I like how i recognized Kristen Pope in the background from the moment I saw her form
When are we going to see more of Chad's training footage for Pete's sake?
I haven't been doing enough training lately to have footage worth showing.
Well I'll look forward to additional footage, hopefully in the near future as it's always a solid source of motivation for me. I'm very much enjoying your "Cowboy Method" currently.

what's your cycle brah?
Awesome work you two
Love doing high Rep training....feel the burn.
does stan do 20Rep sets on his upper body workouts too? or is it only the leg workouts?
Umm not sure tbh
Mathias Malmström he does it on everything cos he doesn't risk going too heavy anymore
Stan's looking really good and healthy for being 50!
All the strongman talk made me realize I forgot why Chad stopped doing Strongman in the first place. Injury?
Two herniated discs
That'll do it
when i was doing 20 rep squats i was unable to add any weight to the bar after even 3 months. i felt fitter for sure and was able shorten the rest periods but it was frustrating to be stuck at 90lb
can I use a hex bar for farmer carry if my gym does not have this equipment?
Stan out there doing Farmer's Carry in squat shoes. No worries!
is that Pope in the background?
Yes
20 reps have always caused exertion headaches for me.
