Your point on why people don't exercise is spot on and unfortunately, many of them don't realize they should have done SOMETHING until it's too late. I always encourage people to just do something that they enjoy. Going for a walk while watching Will Ratelle is probably the best evidenced-based option.
People trying to sell things have convinced people that they need to buy a program and a gym membership when in reality you can pace around your living room for 30 minutes a day.
Make GENERAL strength, power, speed adaptations in strength and conditioning work. Make “SPORT SPECIFIC” adaptations (if that’s even a real thing) in the practice FOR THE SPORT. As soon as I started viewing my own personal training for Rugby through that lense I’ve gotten way bigger, faster, and stronger. So instead of doing banded bullshit in the weight room that mimics a tackle position, I just focus on getting stronger in squats, bench, dead’s, chins, cleans etc. The “transfer” has been amazing. And I thank Will for giving me this mentality.
What Fred Duncan also fails to understand is that if a team goes 3-8, it most likely has to do with their players and/or coaching. Usually a combo of both. They could have the absolute best S&C program and facility in the world and still will fall short if they just dont have the right leadership or players
I'm interested in getting more athletic and learning olympic lifts. Should I try Hoss Project or Olympic? I've only been doing powerlifting style training until now.
Hi Will, how do you train the block step(last step) of a two foot jump. I have mid 30s vertical but I am struggling to use my speed of the approach and perform the block step properly. Thank you always for solid content💪🏽
As an old fart, i train to try and keep my back and knee's healthy and it helps reduce aches and pains as well as a good mental health boost. It aint complicated, a squat, hinge movement, a push and a pull and curls for the girls. I wish i trained like that when i was younger. I wish i could powerclean but flexibility has gone but happy with pendlay rowing 3 plates aside.
Matt Wenning (a guy beefin with Atlaspowershrugged) said guys ruined their knees by squatting with their knees over their toes, and he hardly ever lets his shins go past his knees. Is there any legitimacy to this take, or just total blasphemy? Not even getting into ATG and Ben Patrick but like, don’t you think a squat is just kinda a squat, or you think there’s some truth to that about knees?
What's your take on parallel vs. "Atg" squatting for, let's say, throwers? I've heard/seen quite a lot of debate, with the logic for parallel (or even slightly above) squats being that you can use a bunch more weight closer to the joint angles used in throwing, plus I guess it's less awkward for dudes with long limbs (which throwers tend to be).
I'm not Will so ignore me BUT I think that ATG is useful for any sport where you need to get into that position and be strong. The overwhelming amount of people pushing for that position are Olympic weight lifters who NEED to get all the way down so they can catch the heaviest weight possible. Almost every other athlete could benefit from a lower position on a GPP level but parallel is fine.
my uneducated take is to pick whichever is more specific to the sport (i.e., whichevever garners the adaptations you want). for example, I've seen some track and field guys quarter squatting in the gym to simulate pushing off at the start of a run, or something to that effect
As others have said ‘in my opinion’ I think most people aren’t strong enough/well trained enough in the fundamentals to worry about specialising. I believe every athlete should have a ATG squat in the tank or at least a relative full range of motion squat. As training age increases and the effort needed to drive adaptation is greater specialising more can/would help to continue to drive adaptation. But as I said, this is my opinion
@@benmorrison2285spot on. 99% of people will never need that level of specificity.And by the time they could even consider it they should be long past the stage of asking youtube comments

Well.. Yes. I always thought gym is for the qualities sport needs but the sport itself will not give you to the extend you would like to.

I train for the difficult
I can hear this comment... the words of a god
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
ooooooooooooo
Block lifts will guaranteed to improve TECHNIQUE and P.R.'s. Thankyou always Will.
That thread is just a prime example of the Dunning-Kruger effect.
Fred Duncan-Kruger effect
Fred wants to be a guru so badly.
I started doing density sets for my pullups bc of you ❤
Here before Big Hoss comments.
Love when people pop off on bad takes like this
Great discussion as usual

Hoss Olympic. The Hoss Project doesn’t include Olympic lifts.
You should react to the post dylan cooper made about building a big squat.
Lol Fred Duncan is such an eye roll
Big Hoss.
How do you choose which type of set structure you do for exercises in a session? Ex density sets, traditional sets x reps, amraps etc. Thanks

Fred Duncan is a physically weak human.
Will coming out with the high energy today and it's perfect

sus of anyone coaching 'human performance'
I would make an exception for Alex Viada's company, Complete Human Performance..but I get what you mean
