 First question is from Andrew Woodruff 15 the barbell push press uses momentum to allow more weight for the shoulders What are some other muscle groups and exercises that really benefit from added momentum? Oh, that's kind of a cool Yeah, so it's not necessarily the momentum Although there are some momentum can provide some benefits like helping you get past the sticking point in the lip I'm really explosiveness. That's where it's the speed. Yeah It's the speed that you're getting the benefit from a push press is a faster press than a strict shoulder press I will say this nine out of ten times. You should do a strict press Well, it's speed and load right because you can move more weight So you're moving more load and it's speed So those two things are that the two factors that you're you're there are the two major benefits that you're getting Yeah But you could also get incredible value from speed with a light load if you're explosive enough Olympic lifters do this all Time. Yeah, what muscle groups can can get benefit from this all muscle groups But that doesn't mean you should apply this to all muscle groups I think for some exercises it lends itself well and other exercises It doesn't lend itself very well, you know, like if you're gonna do like a overhead tricep extension Explosive, you know momentum-based tricep extension. I don't think the vow the benefit outweighs the risk From doing that and if your goal is just to build a good strong solid, you know muscular physique You could probably never do movements like this and again, I think you know explosives fast movements They have some value, but you need to you need to have good stability You need to have great form good control because the risk of injury goes Exposes the cracks any time you add acceleration into the mix and you haven't worked on stabilizing and being able to Decelerate properly then, you know, that's where you put yourself like at high risk So it's it's more of a high-risk thing But you do get the rewards of the fast twitch response and that's something that if you're not working on that at all You know, that's a major benefit that you know Actually is gonna produce some size to the muscle and some strength that you're not gonna get just from You know your slower cadence type lifts I see a lot of I actually see a lot of benefit from it especially for the advanced lifter, right? So I I saw huge results By doing that I didn't really ever train power just was not a focus on now when I was competing and having to see Progress right it really challenged my my programming and diet more than I've ever challenged myself personally to string You know several years of crazy consistency I really had to pull every trick I had like every everything that I knew I've learned over the last two decades and training Which caused me to do things like this. I would have never done a heavy push press in the past I just was I'm not a power lifter. I didn't see a tremendous amount of value in it to your point Sal you can get tons of gains with never ever really utilizing something like this But when you're kind of pulling everything out and you've never trained this way I my shoulders blew up because of heavy heavy push presses I was not using utilizing that going to that was great now that being said It's I think of it the same way teaching someone basketball or any other sport and When it's like teaching someone a spin move a you know behind-the-back pass Can be very valuable if you have built an incredible game of all the foundational moves and exercise and you can handle the ball Really well there is going to become a time in the game where throwing a behind-the-back pass If you don't know how to do that really well can become very valuable or a crazy between the legs crossover type of deal Right, but if you can't lay the ball up well, you can't dribble with both hands very well You can't pivot very well. You can't do all the basics very well Training this way has it will hurt you more just like it would in a game If you can't do those fundamentals and you're trying to do fancy moves in a game your girl Ball's gonna get stolen from you gonna get poked loose and it's not gonna benefit you Well, I also and to your point of like there's not a lot of maybe barbell exercises I mean Olympic lifts obviously that's like something that people know right away like this is about acceleration This is about speeds about technique and form at its highest, you know level There are other alternatives So this is where I really like the kettlebells and the kettlebell swings and that's because you're you're getting that snap And that power out of derived out of your hips And so that's really where it's sent like it's center to everything and even in your Push-press like you're getting that snap and power from that that hip hinge and that that really fast powerful snap that you're gonna get from the hips and so The the kettlebell swing addresses that beautifully and it's it's pretty controlled and safe in terms of learning how to utilize power in in your programming as well as Medicine balls medicine balls I like things where you could take weight and you can get rid of it And so you don't even have to worry about the de deceleration Part of that movement. Yeah, bringing down a push-press to your chest improperly Great way to hurt your shoulder or even hurt your rib cage I tell you what if your mentality going into speed or momentum by based exercises It's all about being able to lift more weight. You're doing it wrong Okay, so if you're just motivated if you're doing curls, you're like, you know what? I'm curling the 30s. I want to curl the 45s And so you get your you start to swing and get bad morning That's the wrong reason to to do these types of movements. Don't worry so much about the weight Use the appropriate amount of weight which sometimes and oftentimes is more weight But if it's just a way for you to lift more weight in the gym, you're using it wrong Well, you have I mean the question is like what other we didn't even address What are their muscle groups? I really see lots of value in every other muscle group except for maybe your Buys tries and calves. You can do like a penlay row for your back You could do for you know explosive push-ups chest pass to the wall Yeah, even bench press with speed You know even if you got a if you got good form and technique with the bench press doing that with the light Light low and explosive tosses do all kinds of stuff
