  • Hey, Matt!

    I really admire your work! Deep respect!

    I have a couple questions, that, hopefully, you can answer.

    1) On overhead lifts, do you shrug your shoulders up (active shoulders) or do you keep your shoulder in the socket? I know it may be a dumb question, but I find that there are two contradictory opinions on it.

    2) Is the pull-up considered a row, and does it work the rear shoulder? Is it necessary to include a barbell row, if you do enough pull-ups?

    Thanks in advance, lad!

    BE STRONG!

  • 1) you must elevate and retract your scapula, aggressively push your shoulders straight up, and I even think about pulling the bar apart to create greater tension

  • 2) pull in all directions towards your heart

    A) pulling vertically from floor( deads, snatch, clean, upright row)

    B) pulling horizontally towards you (inverted row, BB & DB bentover row, seated rows, chinese row)

    C) pulling vertically from ceiling (Pullups with mixed grip, lat pulldowns, etc...)

  • Im so glad i found this channel; you guys are awesome

  • You're AWESOME!!!

see all

  • You guys, you are doing the right thing. Saying this as a fitness junky and strength & conditioning coach.

  • what are the songs from 0:02 to 1:01?

  • Thanks..sorry about not getting back on this sooner didnt know youtube notified about replies

  • the price is definitely "WRIGHT"...will be buying 2 sets of bumps next week! thanks matt!

  • Definitely, if you want to get better at any sport you need good equipment. And good coaching :) Keep up the great work!

  • thats all great for some crude strength and conditioning, I like it. But if you want to get better at oly lifting as a sport, good equipment is a must., And even though it can be very pricy, it should be a one time investment. So spending $1000 on a set seems like a lot, but if you dump the garbage gym membership for $300 + per year, it pays for itself in a few years, then all your training is free. But i do have to recommend constant investments in coaching, great coaching is invaluable
