  • @roughneckasian what i meant was do you do exercises for slow twitch and fast twitch in general not just when doing powerlifting competition like do you train both ways, and furthermore why do you have to speak down on people like that for asking a question? I am a long time follower and i dont understand why you act like a dick to people that simply ask a question. Its not even just me you did this to its other people in other videos of yours. Your very talented non the less.

  • @skullz515 how the hell are you going to ask me a question that makes no sense, come back to say "what I meant was" admiting that your the first question you asked made no sense and wasted my time and then called me a dick for the way I responded to your question when it made no sense in the first place. You are now blocked. I do not have time to waste on people who don't even know how to ask a question

  • My gym in Melbourne, Australia - Fitness First - will definitely have issues with the dropping of weights. Has anyone got a similar rule enforced at their gym who has successfully explained why in a polite manner? It would b a huge inconvenience for me to switch gyms so just wondering if anyone has had any success in this respect.. thx in advance.

  • @lllchironexlll the only suggestion is whether that gym has bumper plates. If a gym does not have bumper plates, then they are not a serious performance gym because bumper plates are designed to allow you to drop the weight when doing snatches, clean and jerks, power cleans and deadlifts. So if they do not have them, then you will be forced to follow their rules and sadly that will risk injury on you. Just the hand you are dealt with with that gym.

  • Just realised. Strictly for performance, your comments are right.

  • @twism300 As I stated in the video, my end goal is to lift as much as I can in the 181 lbs weight class at my next power lifting meet. This video is about performance. But as for the eccentric aspect for muscle growth, yes it is important. However, there are much safer exercises to apply the slow eccentric contraction for growth. You gain nothing and lose everything once you are injured. Is it really worth the risk to you to do a slow negative deadlift? It sure as hell is not worth it to me

see all

  • @roughneckasian Hey Tuan, I've always been a fan of the deadlift even though I've never really tried doing them. Quite funny, lol. Anyway, my friend got me into doing them and now I use Sunday's (a day when the gym is really empty) as a day for me to work on my form. Anyway, my question is when doing heavy deadlifts will it make me look blocky and ruin the v taper or will it contribute to it? If you're wondering about my body type...I am a mesomorph. Hope you get back to me!

    well this is the worst hang power clean i ever see

  • @roughneckasian He asked you a simple question, "do you train fast twitch and slow twitch muscle fibers". Is there anything wrong with that? Or are you too retarded to comprehend his question and for god knows why, take offence. You gonna block someone for asking what your favourite tv show is too?

    You are an asshole. Period. Go ahead, block me you fucker. But then again, maybe it's the Tren speaking and you're really a nice guy... lol.

  • bro can your back be kind of round when u drop the weight down on deadlifts?

  • @skullz515 thats why he blocked you...

  • Hey Tuan, it was interesting to see a "spot" for the deadlift, what are the key points for spotting the deadlift? Is the spotter simply checking for ass down, chest up?

  • @SOuLmAN1984 i go to a gym where this is a problem, i just put mats under my lifting area (the floor) so that it doesn't make much sound.

  • @lllchironexlll Yeahh right on mate. Bloody FitnessFirst and Goodlife are just nitpicky pricks.

  • @roughneckasian Hey Tuan, thx for the reply. One other quick question. In your experience, would you say that once a person knows most of the basics of a deadlift, that if performing the deadlift still hurts the lower back, then the weight used is generally too heavy?
