[Favre1013]

@TheAdster2010 Lol butt hit your knees obviously u have never touched a weight and lol @healthier on ur knees

[Favre1013]

@MrAmericanboss Lol so true thats what i was thinking

[AussiesRus1]

im thinking about doin these three exercises daily can anyone give me any tips as to which i should do first to last?

[MrAmericanboss]

why the fuck is skinny mothafucka talkin about weight lifting :/

[AussiesRus1]

@MrAmericanboss does it matter? he could be a coach

[KingHenryXI]

Seriously, don't do more vids on weight training. You said for the squat you go to parallel, but do you know what that means? It means get your legs to parallel. Not half way down. It means getting your hip joint below your knee joint. Or if you wanna get fancy, your acetablum below your patella.

Get a bench that lets your feet touch the ground.

Don't call that a power clean. Ever.

Like if you are le tired of incorrect demonstrations of exercises.

[kungfufreddy]

@KingHenryXI can you direct me to some correct ones?

[emokittenable]

his squat is terrible he has bad form.and that is not a power clean idk wtf that is.you do a power clean from the ground up.and also his legs shouldnt be curved in while benching...im in 8th grade and know this.he is just a skinny fuck.

[YoungYeMusicInc]

WAIT Didnt He Wear That In The Last Video.?

[77kgteamarizona]

That was neither a power clean or a hang clean. that looked like a leg driven reverse curl. Also a power clean can be done from a hang position or from the floor. a power clean means the bar is caught above a parallel squat. He says explosive movement from the thighs to the chest, actually it should be from the hip to the top of the shoulder. Cleans should also be done in sets of 3-5 reps at most. To build mass it takes more reps with less weight for strength less reps more weight

[num63getshity]

those were hang cleans brah

[julianownz]

those cleans were painful

[RsNerd37]

always look up when doing squats

[Squrely92]

You'd be wise to disregard the information in this video if you wan't any success in football.

[mumsaysimspecial]

you can't gain power by lifting heavy weights. Power is weight x force, so to gain power you need to be using a wight less than your max, but doing it in a powerful way. Ballistic bench press would be a good exercise, you "throw" the barbell upwards without actually letting go and then bring it back down slowly. Jumping squat would also be very good, but with a barbell on your shoulders. Basically, to increase power, do exercises at a high intensity and in explosive ways.

[captainjosue]

@mumsaysimspecial You're correct to a certain point. Your comment though isn't true in regards when doing the olympic lifts such as the clean and jerk and snatch. They are by far the most explosive most powerful lift out there. Just look at the Olympics and tune into weightlifting. These athletes are lifting maxes and challenging world records. So you can gain power lifting heavy weights...but pretty much only with Olympic weightlifting.

[mumsaysimspecial]

@captainjosue that is a very valid point. I wrote that comment a while back and my knowledge in sports science and physiology has increased and now i know its not as black and white as that. While you do have a point, lifting your max weight isn't a good way to train, youll over exert yourself and youll need to recover which will cause your training to "reverse". Although overloading is a good training technique, it is one to be used with limitations. Once a month or two months per say.

[captainjosue]

@mumsaysimspecial No doubt. I remember reading from Dr. Michael Yessis who said the same thing you said that training heavy weights will slow down your speed and power. And that is true if you're doing conventional lifts such as bench, squat, etc. However, this doesn't apply to the Olympic lifts. It's as if everything we knew about weightlifting doesn't apply to O lifting. It's a real anomaly.

[KingHenryXI]

@captainjosue You can train at, or near your max exclusively and have greater strength gains than any other method of training. If you don't believe me, look at powerlifters. The good ones anyway. They never go below their max range (except for light days, keep in mind these are crucial to recovery, even though they are still training above 75% 1RM) and still get stronger. A lot of lifters get huge gains and work out 3 days a week. More than that will cause overtraining.

[jhendershott]

yeh that was a hang clean...power cleans are from the ground up.

[miTeeAli]

glad im not the only who knew that lol

[TheChosenOne5995]

so you should do the most you can do with a max out weight?

[m88marc88m]

when ur squating ur heels should be slightly lifted off the floor and ur feet a little out to the side and a few inches past shoulder width,,, and if u have trouble keeping ur back staright u can look up at the celing

[50cent1202]

Yeah actually you ruin your cartilage in your knee by keeping your legs too close together and your feet pointed straight outward. If you have your legs out like a little bit more than shoulder width and your feet pointed out like 2 inches you get a more natural movement for your legs and knees. If you wanna see a PERFECT squat ask a girl to show you how she would pee if she was outside. Just don't be a perv and tell her to actually do it...thats a little creep. hope i helped.

[TheAdster2010]

@50cent1202 To add on to what you said, whenever you squat and stop parallel, that puts A LOT of a strain on your knees. It is unnatural for your knees to be stopping the weight at that position which can cause knee problems later down the road. A better squat, meaning more beneficial in strength and healthier on your knees, should be going all the way down. I have my butt hit my heels pretty much. If you have knee problems with squats, go all the way down. It'll help a lot.

[princeofbk]

nobody power cleans that way first. and squat yurh ass has to be parallel. and dead liftt???

[jfinch05]

Yeah he didn't reach parallel on the squats and yes it is actually safer to go deeper in the squats(more Olympic style than power lifter style) than to stop at parallel.

That is not proper power clean form either. For one, there is not supposed to be that huge swing of the back. Secondly, that is a hang clean and not the full power clean from the floor.

[horrorshow7]

dawg this guy is loony. he doesnt know how to power clean and hes tryin to teach it. wtf

[princeofbk]

thats not the power clean..

and he need t squat way lower..

[XCarpediemforlife]

actually your not suppose to go to low it ruins the cartilage in your knees so he did perfect squats.

[surfer5864]

^thats bullshit

[IKI11I]

@princeofbk you squat to 90 degrees. if you didn't listen, you go until your upper legs are parallel to the ground. Going down further is a differen't type of a squat, informally known as "ass to the grass" get your fact straight.

[mikejohnfran]

ahahaha

that wasn't a power clean

well i don't like critisizing over the internet but bro the key is EXPLOSIVE

what you did was some what passive

[biglogstrongman]

Squat lower

Hang Cleans (not power cleans)

[trance4mation]

oh dear...

[CarlosCoy135]

i dont know why they even make these videos, they dont teach anything that the whole world doesnt know. nobody does power cleans that way, and his squats werent even fully parallel

[gaaron1]

the power cleans were shit

[mattbeard1234]

he is just givin u a ruff example and goof? these are base workouts for every position.

[rockguitar74]

when ur squatting u gotta keep ur head up...

[chris81412]

For what position every one is different.. goof
