@MetaIhead89 well yes. The Floor press is better at improving Bench press than actual Bench press with some people!!! I went from 180 to 210kg BP with floor pressing alone.
@MetaIhead89 Yes you can definitely substitute bench press with floor press. Especially if your sticking point is at the bottom or a couple of inches from the chest!
People really shouldn't talk about form unless they have video of themselves doing the exercises. When you go heavy your form is never as good as you think it is on video. Plus someone should point out that he's absolutely getting results and form is somewhat relative i'd say to how peoples bodies respond. Don't go out and hurt yourself but a little cheating is okay too.
bro you can fit a mac truck under your back way too much lower back arch....its not about just getting the weight up its about the quality of the lift....if you cant do it right dont do it. you are compromising the structural integrity of your body. your only hurting your self down the road. yes u can lift all the weight but your doing any possible way.
sorry that wasn't a romanian deadlift. pretty much a regular deadlift there buddy. way too much bend at the knees. defeats the purpose. hardly any stretch on the hams.
@dda030582 I'm tired of idiots who spend too much time discussing terms and not enough time puting it all into practice... A romanian deadlift isn't a straight leg deadlift... It's a full range, elevated deadlift with lower legs perpendicular to the ground. Now if you have an other definition good for you. But why do you quit wasting valuable web space and post a video of yourself doing it. That would be cute...
@chezkenny most impressive cleans. do u compete in olympic lifts? oh, about the floor press, if u put it down, can u get out from under it? i'll have 2 try it.
@secutorclaudius Thank you. I used to compete in O'lifts but I did only a couple of years. Now I train for powerlifting. Well yes normally you can get out from a missed floor press, that is if your belly isn't too large!! haha. Give it a shot with 135lbs.
LOL nice! smart idea, using those huge blue matrice pads and supporters for heavier weight, our school has all metal weight, so we can drop it. Most of us dont really need to drop it though. Such a beast "Red Neck" idea/invention.
@LegendaryGoetz thank you! Yeah I don't really have all the exact equipment I need such as reverse hypers or ghr benches, but I try to make it up with little ideas like this!!
that is really impressive! are you a pro or just lift for fun? Have you ever injured your lower back from doing cleans w/ that much weight? your form looks crazy when doing those cleans
Thanks. Well the first advantage of the floor press is that you break the eccentric/concentric chain begining from a deadstart. There is much less (myotatic) stretch reflex that helps going back up. Secondly you can isolate the sticking point. Mine is about 2in from the chest so I start right there and progessively eliminating it. This can be done from pins in a rack or with board press also. Third point is safety, in case of a missed lift, you'd just ease the bar to the floor.
@xr3n3g4d3x Well it's to create a survival mechanism. Like the mother who's able to lift a car to get it off of her child stuck under it!!! Well not really... I just put the bar on the floor if I can't lift it...
very strong lifts, and that technique for the power clean is not half as bad as most of the stuff ive seen on youtube, overall great lifts !!! good jobb keep it up

@cubencis it depends what I try to achieve. But in general I tend to eat pretty balanced, a little bit of everything with moderate amounts of carbs, 2-3 grams of protein per kilo of bodyweight. Not to mention, daily fruits, vegetables and good fat, unless it is a high carb meal, in which case I consume as little fat as possible.
Strong work, but those aren't really Romanian deadlifts. The RDL is a hamstring, glute, and low back exercise with minimal knee bend in order to reduce quad involvement. See the "assistance exercises" chapter of Starting Strength, 2nd edition by Rippetoe and Kilgore. This video shows a conventional deadlift that starts from the top.
@steveschnee Yes I definitely agree. It's just the name I give deadlift when they are elevated. Another key factor of the real romanian deadlift is to keep a neutral spine to allow the glutes to extend the hip efficiently. It's not a lift that I usually do, I prefer natural glute ham raises and reverse hypers myself.
deadlifts are easy psychologically; that's why only olympic lifting is the true test of strength (No the "world's strongest man" is just to entertain kids; not a measure of strength because there is no fixed reference point -- the lifts change all the time
Read the title of the video. These are Romanian dead lifts. It is a variation on standard dead lifts.
Yeah, this type of dead lift does put strain on your lower back, but that is what they are supposed to target. It's an advanced exercise for advanced lifters. This guy is clearly an advanced lifter whose strength and flexibility allow him to do very deep Romanian dead lifts with quite a lot of weight. So everybody calm down and quit dispensing advice to someone who doesn't need it
@308ct you only need to wear a belt if you're using weight you're not used to or maxing out, otherwise you're right. you don't need a belt to just lift
you are probly doing what is called high hang clean which only uses your shrug to start the bar up giving you time to drop under to catch it. catching the weight without ur legs bend would be kinda weird
i think he is doin the deadlift wrong. it is too low. wats worse is he did it on a higher platform. its should only be lowered in shin level between kneecap and ankles. correct me guys if im wrong.
no your rite its a hip extension....so once the the hips have stoped moving back as far as it can go u shud stop and come back up....otherwise you end up turning it in to a ?..................back extension.....not good for ya back....but every ones diff so.....
nah its just a different deadlift. straight leg/ romanian deadlift. it is bad for your back if you do it too much (like everything else in the world) but if you watch what you do and learn the lift correctly then he should be fine.
i dont use a spot for floor presses either but im a little nervous when i go super heavy any ideas i do them in a power rack but my arm go lower than the safety bars
Thank you. I have a video of bench press. Unfortunately didn't get the 550lbs squat on tape but I have a double at 538lbs somewhere I think. I'll post my new maxes as soon as possible anyways. Currently doing a phase of iso extreme.
I give ya props.. those are some heavy liftin'. One thing though, I don't care how much a person lift or how strong they are, spotters brotha... takes one wrong move to end what you have worked so hard for.
It's true, however there is virtually no risk on a floor press. If I couldn't have lifted it I'd just have eased it to the ground. Bench press is a different story I agree 100%. I prefer the squat rack myself.
Chez, I noticed on the power hang cleans that the bar was slightly away from the body when you were bringing it to your shoulders. Is this perhaps why you stepped forward twice after you caught it on your shoulders? I'm thinking if the bar was closer to the body it would have looked a little bit better. Either way, nice lifts!
Nice points. I agree. My form was terrible because I hadn't done any PowerClean for over a year. I just thought I would do a test since I had improved my deadlift so much. And I hit an easy PR. Same the week after with the power snatch. Easy 120kg PR.
Yeah I've been in "they gym" Shannerc310 and I was also in your mother's asshole last night. Now look at your keyboard and read the keys aloud with your lips moving the way you do and try hard to find the caps lock key then turn it off, you sub-IQ retard.
CK, Be careful not to hypextend when you straighten on your RDL, go vertical and no more - your are leaning back too much at the end of the movement. Over time this can lead to bad back pain. Your form on cleans is good. About the floor presses, it's a good idea to have a spotter around when you are under challenging weight like that. Otherwise well done and keep lifting!
those sparq tr elites are very good shoes for stability with their flat sole and good traction. i have a pair myself, very good for olympic lifts, squats, deadlifts, etc.
Very intense lifts! Although as you noted it seems like your technique suffered at those weights. Hope to see you handling more soon! Keep improving!
I particularly like the Hang Cleans, ever do hang clean with press I'd like to see that since I do those. I too find it hard to get a good clean while having good hip/knee bend.
I haven't done the full lift, clean and press or clean and jerk since I stopped competing. I do some power jerk or push press sometimes, I think I have it in another clip. It's a great exercise but now I have reduced my training volume greatly, so I stick to the basics.
Yes the machine is just extra credit! Right I train only 4-10 working sets per workout. I will be doing this for awhile as I'm going to do a lot more conditionning and I tend to overtrain easily.
Love your vids. You mnetioned you are cutting slowly, how long did it take you to lose 15lbs and do you do much cardio? what type? I've tried weight circuits but they seem to kill my power/speed. Also, is your diet low carb?
Many thanks and keep up the great work, it inspires the rest of us!
Thank you. I've been "cutting" for about 3 months. It's more of a permanent nutrition change than a diet. It's similar to the zone diet, high protein, moderate fat, and low carbs only from fruits vegetables. And potatoes sometimes.
I don't do cardio except for 10min warm-ups. I prefer high intensity drills with short rest for conditioning.
Beware the scale is not a good indicator of fat loss at all. I prefer measurements. My waist is down 4 inches and arms are about the same.
salut , tres bon travail t est une bete , ta pris beaucoup de force en 1 ans....quels sont tes objectifs en soulever de terre coucher et squat..tu t entraines combien de fois par semaine..bon si tu peux vas voir mes videos..lol.. a bientot.
but i have trouble with hang cleans (not the normal ones, the ones where you put it on the ground first and go up and do a clean in one motion, i forgot what it's called..) I miss the weight every freaking time!
i do weights for basketball and i do 4 reps with 120lbs, and i'm 14.
Ok so you mean power cleans. To tell you the truth, it's better for basketball do start from the hang. Because that's really where the explosion starts! Like it does for a vertical jump. If you want to work your strength off the ground, do deadlift.
It's also good to do step-ups, squat with bands, sled resisted sprints and some plyometrics too to get quicker and jump higher. Work on your arms swing speed too, it really helps. Don't try to do all of this in one workout of course. good luck
Sweet? Oh no, it was very small, no girls allowed, always the same ol' people, and out of these only a couple who trained hard... well no motivation at all.
keep up the productivity! :)shame you don't have access to the oly gym anymore, i know how you feel the same thing happened to me (sorted now though!)
thanks. Right now I'm cutting very slowly to not lose strength. I've already lost 15lbs and 5in on my waist. I need to lose a little bit more to have good abs, but I've done the hardest part. I look and feel better and I'm definitely more explosive than a couple month ago.
no spotter on the floor press made me nervous :/ good job though!

very strong, but you seem to bend your knees too much for RDL

thanks. Well my definition of the RDL is not the knees flexion, it's the range of motion

those sparq tr elites are very good shoes for stability with their flat sole and good traction. i have a pair myself, very good for olympic lifts, squats, deadlifts, etc.

Whats the differennce between Romanian & a regular deadlift??
CorpseGrinder18 2 years ago
To me romanian is full range with no reset between each rep, clean grip and little leg movement. But I'm sure each has their own definition.

all solid lifts. good job.

Your butt lifted only slightly, and it really had no momentum impact. while it wouldn't be comp legal, I say it was a perfectly fine bench.
Y our RDL are insane btw.

I injured my shoulder snowboarding... This is killing me not hitting the gym! I hate it! So here I am watching you lift. lol
jasonguyperson 3 years ago
Very intense lifts! Although as you noted it seems like your technique suffered at those weights. Hope to see you handling more soon! Keep improving!
I particularly like the Hang Cleans, ever do hang clean with press I'd like to see that since I do those. I too find it hard to get a good clean while having good hip/knee bend.
elixirnova 3 years ago
I haven't done the full lift, clean and press or clean and jerk since I stopped competing. I do some power jerk or push press sometimes, I think I have it in another clip. It's a great exercise but now I have reduced my training volume greatly, so I stick to the basics.
chezkenny 3 years ago
intresting.
good power lifts then jumps on a mchine at the end.
powerlifts to stick with dude
great video!!
drummerlars 3 years ago
Yes the machine is just extra credit! Right I train only 4-10 working sets per workout. I will be doing this for awhile as I'm going to do a lot more conditionning and I tend to overtrain easily.

nice apt belt, get some more vids man they are very inspiring XD

Sweet - I like it when people don't fuck around with gizmo machines all the time. Olympic lifts are the thing that will bust anyone's buck.

I don't like them at all, I'm in love with my barbell - just sometimes I get into a treesome with a bumbbell or a sandbag.
Just out of curiosity - how does your power clean stack up against your deadlift?
In my case I do PC with like 60-65% of my DL max...
Kruszakus 3 years ago
My best deadlift is 300kg and clean from hang 160kg. So it's only about 55% but I rarely do any clean. Your ratio is better.

Hi Chezkenny,
Love your vids. You mnetioned you are cutting slowly, how long did it take you to lose 15lbs and do you do much cardio? what type? I've tried weight circuits but they seem to kill my power/speed. Also, is your diet low carb?
Many thanks and keep up the great work, it inspires the rest of us!
dreambrother2012 3 years ago
Thank you. I've been "cutting" for about 3 months. It's more of a permanent nutrition change than a diet. It's similar to the zone diet, high protein, moderate fat, and low carbs only from fruits vegetables. And potatoes sometimes.
I don't do cardio except for 10min warm-ups. I prefer high intensity drills with short rest for conditioning.
Beware the scale is not a good indicator of fat loss at all. I prefer measurements. My waist is down 4 inches and arms are about the same.
good luck

i like the hang cleans.
but i have trouble with hang cleans (not the normal ones, the ones where you put it on the ground first and go up and do a clean in one motion, i forgot what it's called..) I miss the weight every freaking time!
i do weights for basketball and i do 4 reps with 120lbs, and i'm 14.
plz help me?
iheartdropdeadJulia 3 years ago
Ok so you mean power cleans. To tell you the truth, it's better for basketball do start from the hang. Because that's really where the explosion starts! Like it does for a vertical jump. If you want to work your strength off the ground, do deadlift.
It's also good to do step-ups, squat with bands, sled resisted sprints and some plyometrics too to get quicker and jump higher. Work on your arms swing speed too, it really helps. Don't try to do all of this in one workout of course. good luck
chezkenny 3 years ago
believe me dude we do allll that stuff for conditioning.
and we started with just normal jump shrugs, then regular hang cleans, then dead lifts, and now were on the power cleans.
I've never had trouble with the first 3 and we've been doing it foreverrrrr.
and i can't just not do it cuz i have a personal trainer along with the rest of my team :)

Is the Tendo Unit in the other Video yours?

Sweet? Oh no, it was very small, no girls allowed, always the same ol' people, and out of these only a couple who trained hard... well no motivation at all.

Yes it's a tendo unit. I just love to train with it. Makes dynamic training so much fun and more effective.

lol yes but it's ok, I'm more powerlifing oriented now anyways. My o'lift technique sucks.
chezkenny 3 years ago
good lifts still although i am surprised that you are using a machine to do rows. Great power nonetheless! Keep it up!
ForceFedA4 3 years ago
Thanks. Yes I think the machine is good sometimes. Especially when the lowerback is already tired. I use machines often.
chezkenny 3 years ago
Ah very true. Machines do have their place! Oh you seem to stay pretty ripped even with all the weight you put on. Great job!
ForceFedA4 3 years ago
thanks. Right now I'm cutting very slowly to not lose strength. I've already lost 15lbs and 5in on my waist. I need to lose a little bit more to have good abs, but I've done the hardest part. I look and feel better and I'm definitely more explosive than a couple month ago.
chezkenny 3 years ago
Crazy power. Your bench jumped a ton. Good deal.
