Controlled negative eccentrics are a difference maker for experienced lifters.
You said it all when you said, “slow it down on the negative”…as soon as you do that, you find out where failure happens. It hurts more to train like that. I power lifted and did bodybuilding since I was 17. I am 57 now. When I feel strong and I get stupid with big weights I tend to get hurt. I can barbell row 315 x 6. If I do 225 and lower the weight slowly, my back muscles are sore as heck the next day, not just my lower back. I am still 6’1 and 252 lbs. I used to be 275.
I agree completely on this one. Chasing PRs probably isn't the best path for hypertrophy. Hypertrophy is about turning on genes for muscle growth, so that's the point and goal of the workout. Focusing on trying to get stronger just doesn't do that.

Awesome video. Thanks guys!
Solid information, these guys are great teachers.
Lower weight and higher reps, thanks Ryan humiston, has worked wonders for me, n mind muscle connection
Great points, spot on!
Not going to lie, I am so motivated by measurable progress that I’m prone to this. Listening to you and following maps programs Im learning to use tempo, rest periods etc. to improve my control and stability. Working on mobility to increase range of motion. But it’s all still in service to the idea that I’ll be able to lift more weight or more reps/sets with the same weight at some point in the future.
I know I’ll reach a point in the next year or two where the risk/reward ratio gets worse, but I’m still thinking of ways to make it goal oriented by trying to move the same weight PRs while also improving running times or gymnastic rep PRs etc.
Def needed to hear this. I feel like it should be common sense but I’m stubborn. I grew up with strength and performance being the driver for sports so being strong was always my goal, looking better 2nd. I’m 34, I have a torn ACL/MCL, herniated L5, and my shoulder/pec have been giving me problems for the last year. I can pull 500 for a few on the hex, I hit 325x10 on bench, and last time I box squatted I was hitting 345x10. The amount of aches and pains I need to work through vs just dropping weight and focusing on connection and contraction has to be done. It’s a huge hurdle to get over but I’m def working on it, especially after your video on 3x week full body. Keep putting out the great content!
Thank you guys for this episode enjoy it leave the ego at the door you can make light weights feel heavy but control the weight you don't have to just train heavy you can do a bit of both 50/50 and get amazing results I've been following you guys a while you give amazing tips and information very educational thank you look forward to future videos👍🏼
I've earned the right to lift heavy without injury by slowly accumulating muscle mass and bone density over time. I've never had injuries.
Man I feel this one 💯
I did a set of barbell curls with approx 15kg. I pulled a muscle in my back and couldn't train for a week or two after. Injuries can occur using any weight.
My back's broken, so I have to figure out ways to progessively overload without adding weight. I'm trying something called myo reps in which you have one hard set to almost failure, then you rest about 10 seconds and do 5 mini sets at about 25% of the reps you got on your first set with about 10 seconds rest inbetween. Works really good with the lower weight / bodyweight stuff I do, but it can be dangerous with higher weights.
When I feel like I can go up in weight. I use the same weight slowly and squezing a lot. Then eventually will up the weight a little.
I've been bodybuilding since 2006 and never had any major injuries. My legs have always been my strong point (size & definition), yet I almost never squat over 300 lbs.
For me it's about if my form changes, am i now working out a different body part? If that answer is yes, then i'm doing something wrong. Not about the weight, it's about the objective.
Adam said it best- somewhere in the middle.
Agreed
Lebanese bodybuilder that hurt themselves eventually now they can't work out anymore these guys were lifting to do multiple reps and sets with weight that most strong men would be doing as they're just getting started to be strong men so a lot of these bodybuilders are very very strong they can live very very heavy it's just a lot of them I've noticed they choose not to and like you said to take skill to be able to connect your mind and your muscle almost like a martial artist like Bruce Lee or any other martial artists are they can connect their mind and their bodies together to use what force and power they have as opposed to just simply throwing your hands to to try to hit hard without having that Focus
I prefer 15 reps usually, Or a bit more. When lifting heavy I just feel like I can either do something or not. Higher reps feels more engaging and athletic and practical. Also gives me more stamina than a 5 rep type of workout .
No one really cares about the plates on the bars, especially girls, all that really matters is how you look with a shirt off or a nice fitting shirt and pants/jeans.
Train for tomorrow, not today!
Good advice but it’s still important to build that strength base first. Otherwise you fall prey to bodybuilding training nonsense like “don’t worry about weight, just slow the tempo and feel the tension” all the while you’re stuck curling 10lb dumbbells going for the time under tension.
Iv always felt a more robust base when lifting lighter. Not super light just like medium-high medium weight .
Especially with dumbells exercises where I don’t use racks to set up the workout . It’s just more realistic and functional . I think people get hurt when they use extreme weights and can usually only do those weights under very specific movements and setups. Carrying weight into position and lifting and calmly putting it down always makes me feel rock solid compared to trying to blast into a movement, especially on joints .
All bodybuilding mythology
Atleast hit 405 b4 stop adding plates you are a man you need to be strong
How do you make deadlifts heavy without adding weights?
Lower it slow and controlled, obviously with the same form as in the way up.
Use a fat bar from a deficits.
@@austin7326 My mate does that in his apartment. It’s crazy how strong that slowing makes you
Tie some bands😅
Adding resistance bands + slowly lowering weights.
Yeah I remember hearing a strong guy saying that how bodybuilders are so puffed up and they puff themselves up when I'm in the elevator with him and they look amazing they look really strong but I know I'm stronger than them because I'm a powerlifter and I left more but powerlifters only do basically one set of one rep and bodybuilders they do multiple reps
Just do more reps
All muscle gains are temporary. What determines muscle retention is high testosterone level.
