    Some bodybuilders can learn a thing or two from weightlifting as well. I dabbled in bodybuilding before focusing on weightlifting and nothing I did before had built my legs like heavy atg squats, even well after beginner's gains. So even if hypertrophy is the goal, exercise selection matters a lot.

      I agree, although the Olympic exercises are generally compound, accessory exercises help create hypertrophy

    Hey Greg, as someone who is more focused on the physique benefits from training with weights but wants to reap the mobility and strength rewards from oly lifting - what are some of the exercises you‘d suggest ? Power Cleans, Front Squats, Muscle Snatches and Klokov Presses come to mind. Also not dropping but lowering the bar after every rep. Love your channel and your book Greg !

    • @CatalystAthletics
      @CatalystAthletics  4 ปีที่แล้ว +12

      I'd stick to the competition lifts and basic variants (powers, hangs), pulls and squats. MS, klokov press (snatch press really), whatever aren't going to do much for speed/strength, and certainly not above and beyond the previously mentioned lifts.

    Yeah, I guess for people like me , that really enjoy doing the lift , but I won't really adventure north of 120 clean and jerk because I can't afford to get hurt anymore at this point of my life i just enjoy the technique , bodybuilding exercise made sense for overall heath plus feels good have some muscle going 😅.

    Hey Greg, thanks for continuing to post these videos. I really enjoy your books as well.
    My question: I'm running a fairly advanced program right now (Takano's CMS program from his book; required total is 275@105, I've done 271@101), and the reps are kicking my ass, particularly on the snatch. Right now I'm doing 80% for sets of 4 and getting absolutely obliterated (missing at least one rep per set). Should I break up the volume into more sets of fewer reps or drop the %? Snatch has always been my weaker lift (about 76% of my c+j). I'm 36 and have been WL for about 8.5 years. Thanks for any insight you can provide!

    • @CatalystAthletics
      @CatalystAthletics  4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      I'd drop the weight so you can complete the reps and the prescribed progression week to week.

    Great video Greg, so helpfull when you self-coach. I was wondering if you could do a video on patience with pulling the bar into your hips during snatch or clean. I am practicing it now and it made so much difference in the way I am receiving the bar overhead and it not crushing on me. Thanks for considering this topic.

    What do you think of bench presses, do you ever incorporate them into your lifters regiments? Stronglifts 5x5 is what initially got me into weightlifting. My goal was to train my body into one muscle. Never looked back.

    • @CatalystAthletics
      @CatalystAthletics  4 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      For a competitive weightlifting, bench is far down the list of priorities. For an incredibly weak new lifter, it may be valuable, but generally it's unnecessary and there are much better choices that have less potential drawbacks (like reducing mobility or otherwise being stressful on the shoulders), as well as contributing more directly to the actual objects of their use, such as pressing and push pressing.

    Do you have any recommendations for what sort of RPE we should be using on these sort of accessories like bicep, tricep work in terms of having healthy elbows?

    • @CatalystAthletics
      @CatalystAthletics  9 วันที่ผ่านมา

      8-9 typically but if you're looking for hypertrophy specifically, you'll usually need that 10 at least some of the time.

      Generally you'd want to be doing the standard strength work, i.e. 1-5 reps typically, but also including at least periods of higher reps (like 8-10) along with more accessory leg work like single leg squat and hinge variations both to support stability and therefore strength but also for some hypertrophy.

    My goal is to max my annual Air Force PT test, and be the best weightlifter I can be. How would you suggest I prioritize my week? I’m just starting to learn the lifts, but struggling with organizing/prioritizing my 1-1.5 hour daily training time. allotment. Thanks!

    • @CatalystAthletics
      @CatalystAthletics  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Assuming the AFPT test is like most with a distance run and some calisthenics, I'd train for that and simply add whatever weightlifting work you have time for afterward. That's likely 1-2 lifts/day. If you're still learning the lifts, it's going to be pretty light weight so it's not going to have much effect on the rest of your training. Get some squatting, pulling and pressing strength work in at least 1 day/week each.

      Enough food is a must - you don't have to get it from shakes, but it can be hard to eat that much.

    On the general cycle when it says 3 position snatch @ 60% 65% 75% x 4 sets, does that mean 4 sets at each percentage (12 total 3 position snatches)? Or 4 sets total with two sets at one percentage and one set at each of the others (4 total 3 position snatches)? Thank you

      Push through the whole foot. If you want to squat like a weightlifter, ignore Starting Strength. See these -

      They can limit mobility primarily in the clean rack position.
