@@SzatStrength I'm squatting 2 days a week now try to have at least 3 days inbetween sessions. I'm from England I forgot you guys measure in pounds I meant 225kg.
Hey Joey. Love your channel. Just found it when you did the collab with Omar and Alan. I train about 50 minutes away from you in Drexel Hill. Today I pushed a new PR in flat bench at 270#. At 47 years old and 190#, I compete in open track meets in June and July at 800m and mile distances. Ran a 5:25 mile this Summer. Trying to break 5 by next Summer. Stupid ankle from multiple strains prevents a dedicated leg day (I used to compete in MMA - currently teach Wing Chun), so I work legs daily (push days I squat, pull days I lunge or hip thrust). Recently hit 310# in squat which is not bad for a distance runner. Looking to reach 350# by end of February before my run conditioning begins in March. I also coach middle school track in the spring (certified USA Track & Field level 1 coach). I wish you well and continued blessings on the success of your channel!!
Even though you are repping with 495, I am just as impressed with someone doing 135 (or less), that uses good form. I miss the days of lifting in a real iron gym. I am going to a 24 hour fitness where guys load up the hip sled and come down only halfway and use their hands to help. Lots of guys sitting around on the machines and benches playing with cellphones and taking 5 min rest sets. Lee Priest said, that everyone wants to be big, but nobody wants to lift the weights to get big.
Used to run in high school at 165lbs, best mile was 5:05. Tried again a little while back at 200lbs and just barely squeaked out a 5:59. Honestly only got it because I could see the clock and the adrenaline kicked in. Conditioning was okay, but my calves were about to explode.
I like that you count the plates out for the top set. I do the same thing after forgetting to put one on a while back lol. My brain is always shit once the weights get heavy, gotta compensate by treating myself like an idiot.
He doesnt stretch. Its useless and counter productive for strength training... and he showed you the warmups which was squats with empty bar and then work up to working sets. Dont need anything other than that.
I've been trying to use my others leg exercises as a "warm-up" and do my squats at last of my routine, for some reason even tired I do a better job and development than when I'm fresh and after a typical warm-up routine... (Trying to figure it out why)
@@SzatStrength I train mostly free weights in the medium to low rep range. I used to do bro splits,and made good progress. At the moment I'm creating my own upper/lower split. I'm looking for muscle growth but also okay so agility stability you know functional qualities
I get the same crap in my elbows along with Tennis elbow. Always seems to happen when I start lifting heavy and hitting PRs. I think my grip when I squat is the biggest cause. I have like 0 flexibility and have to grip wide and put way too much strain on my wrists/elbows. PS: Can you think of any reason I get shoulder pain/irritation when incline bench?
how long did it take to get all this work done? and pls get stefi and the hybrid crew some strongman movements stones log etc. looking forward to that content
+szat strength - I think you're cutting yourself short on your mile time - I'm guessing you'd be in the high 7s - low 8s. You do a ton of conditioning and have a lot of intestinal fortitude.
@@SzatStrength The last time I ran a mile was before two knee surgeries and was a sad 9 minutes. I may have to try it again- just to see - thanks for the inspiration and motivation
Szat Strength it’s definitely made me think about what I’d get now, it’s been 4 years lol, you’ll kill it/I’m sure you killed it if you’ve already ran it
You should do more vlogs. People love that shit. Steve Cook used to just put out good information then he started vloging and now has 1m subs. People like thinking they know you.
I got really bad patella tendinopathy and it was actually from squatting too low! I think its called anterior shearing of the knee. Alan Thrall has a brilliant video on how to low bar squat - he explains that squatting too deep is actually as big a problem as not squatting deep enough. Search 'Alan Thrall or Austin Baraki squat'. Follow the cues and I guarantee your squat will improve and it may help with the pain you are experiencing.
I found my ankle mobility was a big problem for my knee tracking correctly. Narrow stance squats are also really nice on the knees. Also I like sleeves they seem to help me
Wheres your favorite places to get shorts for training? My legs are big too and finding good shorts to train in is tough because they keep splitting when I squat :(
im guessing 6:50 to run a mile cause ur legs are big and u squat over twice your body weight and i know theres no correlation between topics, but i respect that! lol
Yeah I hate when my squat "dwindles down" to 545 for 4.thats one thing that's nice about commercial gyms,you can be the gyms beast squatting 315 for a set of 5.and then write off all the you tube monsters with steroids and fake weights.🤔
We just see more crazy lifts because social media attracts the "freaks", 90% of people can't even squat 225 ass to grass. I see people using a lot of weight, way more than they physically can handle doing terrible technique. Don't let all these strength freaks discourage you, it's possible to be just as strong as most PED users while natural. My best lifts are 275lbs bench, 335lbs squat and a 435 deadlift (and I'm only 6'0ft 175lbs) I get respect from dudes that are waaaaay stronger than me (they are also on gear) Just keep training hard and focus on YOU
Deadlift+OHP then Squat+Bench seem to be an optimal way to split for strength. Is that how you typically structure your programming? Also you're getting some pretty heavy popping in your voice overs occasionally. Brutal with head phones on.
You don’t seem to do much upper back/lat work. I understand that all the main lifts will work the back, but for shoulder health and muscular balance I would think you’d be doing more
Szat Strength it seems pretty popular to recommend about 2:1 ratio of pulling to pressing (Joe D, Matt Wenning, Louis Simmons too I think) at least with the horizontal plane all for the sake of keeping the shoulder girdle balanced for big presses/shoulder health
ckurac 1 you clearly don’t know what you’re talking about. You’re telling me that listening to the top strength and conditioning coaches in the world is being a “sheep”? Also, I was just curious and wanted Joes input on the topic, dunce.
@@SzatStrength we used to play basketball pick up games with like 12 cousins (big fam) and he would go non stop. Kinda bull shit too cuz he would hack lol.

Hey guys! Drop below where you get stuck on your squat, ANDDDD what you think my mile time would be. 6'2 240 strongman...
I'm thinking maybe 6 minutes since you're pretty fast
A strong 7.5-8
7 minutes and 24 seconds
@@ascendedvegeta that would be pretty sweet

Do a video about warmups before training and any streches after (if you do any)

Hey great videos and content 👍
I predict 6:50 mile, smash it mate!
Super excited to see the collaboration with Stefi!!! Also I love these training videos lately. Keep up the awesome content 💪👍
Should be a real fun time! and I'm glad you like this little series!
Dude, this series of videos is awesome! Please never stop! 😀
Following your 8 week strength program liking the change from my normal workouts. Awesome content
heck yes! That is awesome, what do you like the most about it?
@@SzatStrength being able to squat bench and deadlift twice a week. And having planned percentage vs just going to heavy single as I normally would do
anybody gonna mention my boi Matt's dope ass DOOM tee?
Love the way you train man may you keep making progress
Thanks, it's been working well for me. Hope you enjoy the video. How do you train?

thank you!!
7:45 at worst brother all your jujitsu, sandbag, and combat rope training you’ll be fine with the mile. Good videos brother

how long did it take to get all this work done?
and pls get stefi and the hybrid crew some strongman movements stones log etc.
looking forward to that content
What do you do to reduce elbow pain from squatting?
Did you read the opening line off the wall behind the camera?
Power!

Hopefully around 7:00, I got just below a 7:30 my high school freshman year, and I was pretty unathletic being a 200lbs of fat lineman
I mean that's pretty good

Do you have an as i lay dying flag in your gym? 3:28
You ever deal with a torn hip labrum or hip bursitis? How did you work around it?
I have not! but I always recommend checking out Dr. Austin Barakis tips on managing pain!
I don't know why I'm struggling so much squatting and actually my knees hurt me a lot. Should a stop doing squat for a while?

LULU lemon or Born Primitive
Szat Strength you sir can afford much nicer clothes than I but you answered nonetheless and I love u for it anyway
Ranger panties!
is anyone here doing only squats and deadlift but not doing calf raise? is his calf can grow while doing only squats and deadlift?
8:00 minute mile
no more, no less.

Thank you very much for the creative commons reuse policy. Thank you very much.
6:37
I hear Canadian miles are a lot shorter, so when you time your mile (come on, we all know you will...we all want to see it) use one of those.
hahah okay ayeeeee.

Are there articles on this type of split?
Ahaha Joey, what the hell were you looking at in the beginning.
I’m surprised you were the only one to say something hahaha
You don’t seem to do much upper back/lat work. I understand that all the main lifts will work the back, but for shoulder health and muscular balance I would think you’d be doing more
What do you mean by muscular balance? Also you have only seen 2/4 training days =]

@@TheDylanisawsome just lift dont use some ratios ....real weightlifter said goodbye to his shoulders long time before any ratios come to play
Easily 7:15-7:45
We shall see, what's your mile time?
6 even @ 190
Good content. My guess is 10 minutes.
10 minute mile is my guess..... you should definately make a video of this
Of there will be, I can't make a statement like that and not do it ha!!
8:14 mile time for Joe
7:20!
that would be solid IMO
Faster time than me hahaha
haha get out on the track and do it!!
6 min if you go hard
545 LBS..... do you even lift bro? :)
7min mile
A 5 min mile run
WHOA that is FAST
18 minutes

3.54 mile. Cousin was the first to break the mile record at the university of wisconsin Madison. The funny thing is...his class had 4 other Olympians.
Wowwwww that is super fast!!!
