Amazing! cant belive your so strong and yet your agile enough to do backflips!

[schleprock86]

first off, you're one of my weight training heroes and i aspire to be as strong as you and all that other shit. anyway, i'm trying to work on dips. can wrist wraps help or is it more work on my form?

[mwich40]

@schleprock86 i would not use wraps on bodyweight exercises. you could lighten the load with bands or just do negatives until you build up more strength and endurance

[nos6677]

Why are you adding bodyweight workouts in between your weighted sets? It just seems like a waste of energy.

[mwich40]

@nos6677 thats a good question. This was more of a bodyweight circuit, It was not a strength training session. I used a barbell pull and push with my bodyweight, then a pull and push on rings, then a ring push, then a rope pull. It was a circuit, not a basic strength session. Typically I would usually perform a barbell power movement or two first. Then I would do a strength movement or two. Then I would do a bodyweight movement or two and complete the day with some strongman type finisher.

shit, come to the west coast!

[democratusnostradams]

you have great clean and press form, great strength man

[Coldstonechampion]

does your training work so good that it will make person a bodybuilder, power-lifter, strongman, and fighter without taking steroids ?

[Coldstonechampion]

and pro wrestler

[mwich40]

Absolutely, my training works so well that it will actually start to spin the Earth off its axis and cause tidal flooding in Indonesia. My training has been known to cure morning sickness in women, as well as heal blind lepers in India. The Strength Shop training has also fed no less than 170,000 meals to Haitian children worldwide. I once poked a strongman in the eye and a powerlifter on steroids fell out of his nose while pummeling an MMA fighter.

[Coldstonechampion]

well you just prove that a jack up muscle guy that does not take steroids can defeat one that right ?

[Coldstonechampion]

mwich40 get ready because in a few years I be a resident in Virginia Beach and I will be a member of your gym and also me and my family have been going there on summer vacation years and I now hate the place reside at which is the sussex part of new jersey, and soon as i get my college degree I be will out the this state and be styling and profiling at your home state so get ready homie !

[mwich40]

I'm ready, brotha, bring it. I grew up in Wilmington, DE. I have friends all over Jersey, What part are you in?

[Coldstonechampion]

sussex county

[t2001kd]

Hardcore badass! Great work. You have given me some good ideas!

[WABWSM]

for someone who trains the powerlifts and normally does 5x5s for working sets and maxes out each month would sled dragging and non motorized treadmill running be enough to keep my body fat % down or should I do more than that? excellent video by the way! love the inverted rows,muscle and ups and oly lifts!!!

[mwich40]

sled work is great for so many things, work capacity, stamina, joint stability, and yes, burning calories, among other things. It surely can't hurt keeping your bf% down, but unfortunately, none of us can outwork a bad diet. The best way to keep your body composition in check is with intelligent nutrition. Too many of us think we can eat whatever we want b/c we worked hard today, but low levels of bf are very difficult to maintain, while keeping energy levels high. Eat smart, lift hard.

[adairthegreat]

this guy answer my questions very patienly once and i follow his advice till today . it totally change my way of trainning when i tough i was already very underground

u are doing something really good for the people here matt

thanx for inspiring me.

[slizzardman]

Hey! I think this is my first comment on your channel. You're kicking ass man, I love the intensity!

[TheAmericanCreep]

That is a serious no bullshit set up you got there pal, No Fancy nonsense, just weights and a power rack. Awsome, great stuff. Keep up the great work man.

[mwich40]

Great questions and comments, thanks so much everyone. This should make a very good and informative video with loads of content to help achieve some goals and answer some issues that have been baffling and concerning to all you hard core trainees out there! Please keep them coming...

[contact29]

Hey Matt at what age did you start lifting? Great video!

[mwich40]

My mom used to take my brother and I to the high school from the junior high back in 1990, I was 13. i remember doing butterflies with 5 pounds. I eventually learned to push hard and was squatting 1.5 times bodyweight for 25+ reps at 17 years old, but I was so freaking light it didn't mean shit, HA!

[getinthecarbitch]

Nice video again. Yeah I have a question that needs clearing up. If you look at the crossfit WOD's I'ts all variety. I read in the Infinite Intensity book from rosstraining that too much variety will not allow your body to become familiar with an exercise. Slowing down progress. What are your thougths?

[slizzardman]

If you want the answers to real strength, they are in the past. The old timers had strength that surpasses even a number of our drugged athletes today. Why? Because they trained with progressively heavier weights, trained tendons and ligaments, and only spent time on exercises that are the most productive.

The only variety you need is switching the order of exercises, having a few workouts working the same muscles with different stimuli, and eating different color veggies/fruits. That's it.

[mwich40]

@slizzardman I am really enjoying reading some of these old comments. A lot of times people only have ignorant things to say and want to bring others down. I am glad that you are contributing helpful and positive bits of information. Thank you

[slizzardman]

@mwich40 No problem! You are showing people the good stuff, if they don't realize it they will probably never get to where you are at. I appreciate the vids, you do some great work! If I'm ever up that way I'll be stopping in for a workout!

[samurai69]

nice clean muscle ups, no swinging, good solid workout too

[0wnagefactory]

are you experienced with nutrition?

if so, which foods do contain fast digesting protein?

[slizzardman]

Skim milk would be the closest thing to fast digesting protein in the whole food category. For truly fast digesting protein, nothing beats a whey shake.

Interestingly, Harvard Medical found that the most effective post workout drink was 1% chocolate milk :)

[0wnagefactory]

thx a lot ;)

[dogmandu69]

impressive

[sportstrength]

good stuff man, wish i could do backflips well enough for them to earn a place in my workout program ha

[blasaug]

What exercise or exercises would help me with my rounded shoulders (bad posture)

[jacks0003]

Good stuff man, I give you another 5 stars. You still not found a use for that big pvc pipe?

[MarkusDT]

Question: What the hell is the method to the madness? You seem to do different stuff all the time and excell at everything. I'm afraid that if I did this I'd be a jack of all trades and master of none. But you seem to be a master of all. So did you train olympic lifting, then gymnastics, then something else or have you been doing this workouts that include everything since you started?

Cheers

[dgwear69]

i still cant do a muscle up

[duke382]

Man i wish you would come up with a program to follow or "workout" of the day. I would pay for it without hesitation. I have followed your videos for a long time. Great work.

[strongbodyandmind]

another great video. did you wear a weight west or just a shirt :)?

i'm general interested in your programming, how do you design a trainings week?

Your ideas are allways awesome. where you get the ideos from? How inspire you.

Did you compete in weightlifting?

greetz from germany

[MBodyStrength]

Also: how do you build up to a back flip without killing yourself?

Thanks and great job.

[murdanivia]

Question: how do you stay so motivated to do all you do? it's awesome. I'm putting together an outdoor gym in my house but can't seem to get motivated. How do you get past that? also how long and how often should you work out? my goals would be to increase strength,tone up, and loose fat. tips?

[MBodyStrength]

Nice job, man. Strong like always. Really impressive.

[mmaarrkkoodd1990]

STRONG!!!!!!!!!!!!
