 Red leather yellow the other red leather yellow the other red leather yellow the other It's good Kids don't know take an acting class nerds. It's all mine Welcome untamed strength give them a full view. We bought it. It's ours. Oh No, it's here the block Gimbal issues don't worry about that what no one's here. No, I'll enthrall no other humans. I right now Establish myself think Kinga untamed it may only last the next 10 minutes, but right now it's ours ladies and gentlemen Welcome to the video today. We're gonna talk about technique Why it's worthless? Why maybe it's not worthless the difference between powerlifting and weightlifting variations technique or perhaps drills drills is something people don't talk about in powerlifting because there's not really any but if you played any real sports You probably have drills be sure to give this thing a thumbs up all the support on recent videos has been sick I appreciate your new videos Monday Wednesday Saturday Subscribe ding turn on that little bell. Whatever you got to do. Whatever YouTube stuff tells you it makes you do We're diving in so as you guys know on my recent journey here over the last four or five months I really dove into Olympic weightlifting the snatch and the clean and jerk although I don't jerk much the goal is to get better at those purely for selfish I want to get better and have fun reasons My other goals have been lean out, which I've done pretty decently Connor put that sexy photo on there again It's the only sexy photo I've ever had in my life. So we're gonna just use that every video. You're welcome And then get my legs back. I took a long break One because I've moved into a new house and there was a lot to do to because of the gym around I was training out for a while this last winter and three because of my back Just being funky a long break from really keeping my back and legs strong So the other goal if you guys been following along get my leg strength get my general strength back Which I don't want to say I'm at my best, but I'm feeling really good. My legs are back. My legs are back I'm in shape I'm ready. I'm ready to get good Get good kid The thing is that I've been learning in the weightlifting journey is that it's so different than powerlifting in the sense that there's this skill in Talent that are the lifts and do you have to be strong and fast to do those? Yes, can they make you strong and fast? Kind of But weight lifters the best anyone does real accessories or real variations to actually get strong And then that actually transfers or applies to the lift you guys know me I talk mad mess on the people using the word transfer or does this help or whatever in powerlifting because it is so Different to build strength You're doing some kind of strict work bodybuilding some kind of pole whether it's a deadlift or a clean pole Bent over rows squats back squats front squats Etc. Etc. And in weightlifting there is the competition list clean and jerk and snatch which you have to do To the requirements of the competition and then there's variations of both of those all the poles all the rows all the squats and variations which end up being drills that that Fix or work on a specific weakness or specific issue you have in your technique in Those specific movements which is so different than powerlifting people want to simplify powerlifting and they're they're both complex and simple in different ways where in powerlifting people are talking about why I have a Lockout issue. I'm gonna do six inch block poles, but it just doesn't work that way now Can you overload that area or range of motion and perhaps improve your lockout on the deadlift perhaps? Can you do block block presses on board presses on the bench and perhaps work your lockout a little bit more kind of But it's not necessarily attacking the full issue because say I miss a bench 315 and I miss it near lockout We don't know if it's because I can't handle 315 from those top three inches Which likely I can or if I'm just not strong enough to press 315 and handle it under control and strong for that full range of motion You might just not be strong enough We're in weightlifting if you back squat 500 pounds and you can't snatch 100 130 kilos it's almost purely because of a technique ish And so you can use these drills to address that fix that if you maintain that hypothetical 500 pound back squat And you can probably get the hundred hundred thirty kilo snatch with time and practice I mean that's what drills are and that's what I've been built on a basketball I want to work on my pull-up jumper and a fast break and there's tons of drills I can do catching the ball off a lead pass at half court Two hard dribbles getting to my rhythm at the free throw line start knocking down I'll back pedal to the half court and now I have to make 20 in a row those drills Then when I go into a full game that is basketball the specificity to the sport easy man Just like a game where I'm catching out left pass from the rebound two dribbles defender backs up and I knocked down that jumper I Know that's a little reach of a reference of none of you guys play basketball But hopefully that makes sense if you're golfing and you need to work on your short game What do you go do play a hole around 18? Probably not you go to the putting green you work on your chips You drop 10 balls you're chipping at a certain target and you're working on that stroke over and over and over Those are drills. We're powerlifting building your strength and building your technique or Not one in the same, but they're done in the same volume in the same movements really. There are some things That perhaps in powerlifting like a pause deadlift a pause squat in some senses a tempo I think would be the majority that I would say fixes technique issues or can address Weaknesses and issues in your technique for the powerlifting our tempo movements are really good because you're using lighter weights And you really have to control that bar path the entire way feel your balance feel your stability and feel your muscles firing But in weightlifting there's and there's very million variations both obviously you can combine these things But in weightlifting it's just so beautiful. It's not as simple as a plus b equals c But you can really break down each movement and build it back up And so Tuesday Thursday's where we're getting out are my technique days my days to work on what I suck at which is a lot of overhead Stuff I'm gonna keep my leg is going. I'm gonna hit a back squat. I'm gonna hit some front squats We haven't even started. I just warmed up I'm gonna try to overhead squat full overhead squat because right now the issue with my snatches I can't get a good bottom position Because of where my shoulder mobility is again dealing with the overheads probably my number one issue for the jerk and the snatch That I can't reach depth without dumping that thing forward because where my shoulders at I'm gonna continue to work at it Tuesday Thursday's we've got drills to do that I'm gonna do behind the neck push press one to build a little bit of explosive power But two to also continue to work that shoulder to really get into position and for me because I'm so built up ten years of wear and tear I need some kind of load to kind of go through these and that's where I'm pretty lucky that I matched up with Ben as a coach because he's Way more jacked than me But he understands different lifters need different things if I just couldn't put my hands over my head and I weighed a hundred pounds I never touched a weight in my life Then you can maybe throw a PVC in that guy's Hands and figure some things out but for me to get any correctional positioning I probably need some kind of external load and then I'm gonna do some snatch pulls just to work on my rhythm because I didn't snatch Yesterday get some pulls going and then I think we got some fluff so it's back and bicep day continue my gains And those are the main goals right get better at weightlifting keep my strength if not build some legs and back Continue to stay lean get a little bit leaner. I'm not a bodybuilder never plan to be I'm not an aesthetics bra I'm not a fits bow, but I feel comfortable where I am right now 200 ish pounds throw that picture up there one more time Connor feeling okay, and then Continue to build or maintain some of the muscle I have so hopefully you guys like these type of videos Leave a comment below. Let me know what you got in mind what you want me to cover Following my journey and hopefully informing you guys on the way. I do appreciate you. Silent Mike. We're out here
