Guys like Matt Wenning and Zach Even-Esh are so underrated. He’s right. People want what’s sexy but these types of dudes are a cesspool for killer information.
Excellent Podcast, love listening to Wenning explain strength training, I think Louie would be proud of how well Mark Bell, Matt Wenning and Dave Tate have done especially for making his training methods better known.
This kind of content is when this channel is at it's best imo. Started as a powerlifting channel, so it's always great to have 100% powerlifting talk again.
This was the best show for me! Matt has so much great info…. And of course Mark and Nsima have great questions were info was covered! Thank you Andrew! This podcast was great! Matt is great!
This podcast is so full of amazing information. Just what Wenning says about specificity of weakness vs specificity of the event is worth an entire seminar. Thanks so much, guys.
@49:52 I didnt bench for about 4 weeks came back just because i had the urge to and PR'd at 350 for a single. now im only benching once maybe twice a week and hitting 280 for 5 consistently. although not the strongest it shows just how much rest does for you.
I like Matt’s approach and obviously he’s a strong and smart guy. Some people seem to think he is stingy for monetizing some of his information. It’s an interesting conundrum, would you expect any other professional to give out free work or labor? I think people are so used to getting free information from the internet that they can’t see the value in paying for premium information.
I’m 1 hour in on the podcast app and this is one of the best podcasts I’ve ever listened too so I had to hop on TH-cam and commet. Great job guys god damn god damn 🙏
Wenning has tons of good nuggets...but he seems to be a little close minded to other methodologies...I love how open to multiple methods and theories Mark and his crew are...this is my favorite podcast and Mark and his team have been making my life better for a while now...keep doing what you guys do!
Just returned to this podcast and re watched it over a couple days. By far the best content I've ever listened to. Wenning is insanely on point when it comes to strength training.
This was a great one I had to come back and edit my comment. This was phenomenal. This mirrors how I used to go about training pre 2017. Alot of trial and error. A lot of attention to the detail of my body. Rotating workouts. I think after 2017 I let IG get me Insecure because I felt like I needed to be an influencer and I should be able to package what I know to others. So I stopped really learning about myself and more about "best practice". I appreciate this affirmation of how I should have been training all along.
Wennings the GOAT. 1 thing i wamt to say from experience though, at least for me. When starting to add Wenning Warmups, i wouldn't jump straight to 3 exercises and 4 sets of 25....I'd start with 1-2 exercises and 2 sets of 10-15. Build up to 4 x 25. Hope this helps some of you little more weathered lifters 😅.
Lol Matt mentions Ben Patrick's leg size and Mark bell and Nsima are "ohhhhhh...oh..oh." I do agree a variety and working on what you suck at does help balance you up. For Ben Patricks workouts i think the end game is preventing those common injuries with the waist below commonly deal with, especially with the knees. Adding his type of workouts for me at least have been helping my knee pain, also the key word is adding.
I’ve learned a lot from been per the weighted mobility, and Matt per developing strength, safely and intelligently. There is so much gold in this podcast….
i was going to say, ben never advocated KOT for powerlifters or strongmen as a primary means to have them break world records. he advocates his system for people needing to recover, and athletes who are moving QUICKLY through space unloaded, often jumping and landing great distances. further, ben is focused on tendons and other neglected muscles that do not get trained from dogmatic adherence to a particular squat or deadlift, or bench, etc etc. i don't know what he puts on IG, but he has been preaching about the importance of TENDONS for ATHLETES for years, and matt levied his critique from, honestly, a point of ignorance. if he sat down and watched his videos (there are many, but they are not long at all) he would actually agree and likely support ben (and derek williams) with their approach to athleticism. lastly, matt talks about having ben do a bunch of squats. i'd love to see matt do a bunch of dunks, layups, or even jump shots during a game of basketball vs derek or ben. all these men are outstanding in their field, and both ben and matt have extremely valuable information to share with the world. one isn't better than the other. "Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid."
I'm really digging the title because I went this route about 2 years ago changing my goals from strength only to strength, resilience, and longevity. I have strength days I have power days I have technique days and I have rotational days because rotational work is important
I just now listened to this podcast. Loved it! I've been following westside and Matt for years and I'm glad supertraining had him on. Also, can anyone put up a Instagram link of this episode on here. I would appreciate it
Brother, im glad I came across your channel and this video. it me me realize I REALLY do need to talk to someone. I should not be crying at this video like im having a "breakthrough" in some kind of therapy. im glad I am but this shows me I truly need a level headed person to help guide me through the process of building myself from scratch again. I need some real hope that I can change and that I can change the way I see people and the world cus right now. its Admittedly a terrifying and deeply depressing place.
Great and critical info in this episode. This guy knows a great deal and I appreciate his philosophy on longevity. For a long time I stopped lifting because I couldn't do the main lifts without pain or long recovery times, and so I just got lazy and didn't work out and deconditioned even worst and worst. Of course I knew what I needed to do but I was so focused on including the 3 main lifts. Today I dont bother with the Barbel Squat any more and doing movements to correct the knee pain, or hip shift and etc. I had a severe tilt to the left when benching too, now I'm just DB pressing, occasionally I hit flat bench just for technique and that tilt is gone now. My current program is just major rehab basically and I'm excited to when I can do the major lifts correctly again.
Science of Sports Training by Thomas Kurz Science and Practice of Strength Training by Zatsiorsky, Matt prefers the 1st (green back) and 3rd (newest) editions, not the 2nd Supertraining by Mel Siff and Verkhoshansky Anything written by Medvedyev and Verkhoshansky Special Strengths in Multi-Year Weightlifting by Medvedyev Anything written by Tudor Bompa for periodization Charles Poliquin articles Soft-Tissue Manipulation by Leon Chaitow Polish Sprinting and Jumping Book by Travesky?, I can't find any information about this one, however I did find a book called Explosive Power and Jumping Ability for All Sports which was written by Staryznski and Kurz.
I think for me on squat warmups, when I move 315 really fast it sometimes means I’m not getting tight enough. Sometimes 315 feels a little slow but I’m so locked in that when I go up to 365 and 405 they feel the same. If 315 flies the slowdown happens at 365 and can get in my head a little.
I wonder what the cross over is from reading what experts write down to listening to, let's say, this podcast? Is it close to the same? Ive learned so much over the last few years of lifting from listening daily to podcasts about it.
2:37:37 I think it is bc a squat is driving through the heel, not off heel like cutting/running. firefighter would probably land forefoot rather than heel imo
I just recently got into the Westside style of training. They came up with this comprehensive system of strength training, and it really is being forgotten by current day lifters. I think the time commitment and complexity of the training overwhelms most ppl. But those crazy mf'ers in Ohio figured it out...thanks also to the Russians, Bulgarians, amd Chinese of course lol
Is the 50 plus a Patreon thing or is it coming with your new forum project? Will it just be work outs or will it be a place for training information and questions? Thanks
Want to be like "Mike", must train with Mike (Jordan). Tiger woods has swing coach. Want to be like Matt and do what Matt has done, best place to start is by training with Matt.
The late Earnie Shavers is considered to be the hardest puncher of all time and he said he got his punches so hard from chopping wood all day. I wonder if he would try to hold the axe differently or something, or was it always the same, or if it was just something that really only worked for him. So much we know but so much we don't know at the same time.
Great info. He mentioned how a football player went from a 500lb to a 700lb squat. I wonder how much Ben Patricks deadlift would increase if he were to focus on deadlifts, coming from his KOT style training. Which I believe is better for athletes.
I wonder if Mr Wenning’s dense lumbar spine still has the ability to flex and extend properly??? I would guess not, but I could be wrong…would love to see him move.

Been using wenning warm ups for 3 years now and I can easily use 40lb DBs for 4x25 without it affecting my bench yet I only bench 300. Does that mean I just never go beyond 40s even if I'm really well conditioned and could easily use more?
help me out guys, when he suggests training at roughly 75 capacity, is he suggesting trimming reps or weight? hypothetically : if my max capacity is 100lb for 10 reps, should i trim back to 75 lb for 10 reps or 100 lb for 7-8 reps. thanks
no. going by a calculator, your 10 rep max should be right at 75% of your 1rep max. so if your max is around 135 then youd be doing a lot of work around 100lbs. 100lbs is close to 75% of 135. lets say you did 2x5@100 and then 2x3@110. Add it up and you end up with 1660 lbs of work divided by 16 reps = 103.75 avg weight. if your max is 135, that 103.75 = 76.85% avg weight

Thankyou for putting your knowledge out there. I purchased your power building manual and learned so much 👍

Matt is the best and doesn’t get enough credit. One of the best guests and podcasts of all time.. 4 hours of straight up knowledge bombs!
✊✊✊✊
Man, I could have listened to at least another 3 hours of Wenning breaking down strength training.
just watch it at 50% speed
Guys like Matt Wenning and Zach Even-Esh are so underrated. He’s right. People want what’s sexy but these types of dudes are a cesspool for killer information.
Excellent Podcast, love listening to Wenning explain strength training, I think Louie would be proud of how well Mark Bell, Matt Wenning and Dave Tate have done especially for making his training methods better known.

It’s an absolute pleasure listening to Matt talk strength. Thanks for this fellas.

I like Matt’s approach and obviously he’s a strong and smart guy. Some people seem to think he is stingy for monetizing some of his information. It’s an interesting conundrum, would you expect any other professional to give out free work or labor? I think people are so used to getting free information from the internet that they can’t see the value in paying for premium information.
Awe the big issue is people’s hobby is my career. Appreciate ya 🙏

It would be cool to see Ben Patrick hit a wide stance low bar squat
The late Earnie Shavers is considered to be the hardest puncher of all time and he said he got his punches so hard from chopping wood all day. I wonder if he would try to hold the axe differently or something, or was it always the same, or if it was just something that really only worked for him. So much we know but so much we don't know at the same time.
“Are you testing what you have or are you building something new"
Great info. He mentioned how a football player went from a 500lb to a 700lb squat. I wonder how much Ben Patricks deadlift would increase if he were to focus on deadlifts, coming from his KOT style training. Which I believe is better for athletes.
I wonder if Mr Wenning’s dense lumbar spine still has the ability to flex and extend properly??? I would guess not, but I could be wrong…would love to see him move.
He seems like a genuinely good guy, but I believe weight training is for improving posture and movement. Neither of which gets optimized when power lifting.
I’d love to see an x ray of Mr Whenning skeleton (especially spine/pelvis), and I’d love to see him run/do anything athletic.
Strong as a bull, but can’t run like one, doesn’t seem like the solution to me.
Thank you Mr Whenning for sharing your story about hard work and perseverance. That is a story so many people can benefit from hearing.
some good stuff but the info on Alexeev holding world records until 2014 is way way off. Alexeevs last remaining record was broken by 1981.
I'm not a native english speaker, someone could tell me what the books Matt recommends at 03:09:50? Found him somehow difficult to understand kkk
