I work as a plumber which is a workout in itself and then at night do lighter weight workouts with ultra high reps. 5lb clubbells, 10lb macebell workout, axe swinging for shoulder mobility and coordination, curl 30lb freewights three sets of 30 (starting 35lb next week) and rowing machine for 15-30 min with pushups and ring chinups every single day. Some mornings I also train with my 24" and 36" pipe wrenches and their offset weight has made my forearms like steel. Currently only 140lb but very very strong for my size and super agile for mid 40's.At first I felt I was over training but my body has adapted and now after many years of thus its like nothing and I have to mix it up a bit. The main thing is I enjoy and look forward to it and have gotten very strong without looking like a balloon animal body builder, an asthetic I deeply dislike.
I may get a bit of flack for this BUT I've found that CrossFit is actually a good way to do this. Typically in CrossFit you see a lot of athletes with dad bods or pretty muscular dudes who aren't gorilla sized. Sometimes you get guys like me who are in the 150-160 pound range at 6'1" who are skinny as a rail. I'm not putting up power-lifter numbers, but just eating well and staying consistent I put nearly 100lbs on my deadlift, just as an example, in a few short months.
Again, just one way. But if you want to get FREAKISHLY strong, I'd avoid it and stick to something like this. But its fun to get stronger than you thought you could be and also learn a bunch of other things too. But CrossFit isn't for everyone and I wouldn't begrudge someone for not doing it. It's a way to go, not THEE way to go.
Dude, you wasted 2 minutes saying almost nothing of worth, just introducing us to the video basically.
About 10 years ago, i tried this. I was around 42 at the time.
I never wanted to get bulky. So out of curiosity i tried this method. We'd do super low rep 90% than 70 % of max weight.
We were so weak at 1st. I believe we started around 100-125 !!!
My goal was only 200lbs. Im short and was around 150lbs. My friend was about 6'3 230lbs. We we're both weak lol.
Within two months( 15 minutes per day /5 days week) ,there was a gym at work, so we'd lift on one of our brakes. i maxed 220s the exact amount i forgot but it was over 220. My buddy who was super weak in the beginning got up to 265..
It works!!! I know these aren't huge numbers but from where we started?? It was pretty good.
Best way not to gain weight is to not be in a calorie surplus.
One more reason is if you below 5'10 gaining size will make you look like a dwarf. People below 5'9 should for the lean build.
Thanks!
Phenomenal content. Subscribed.
Is training heavy 2 days a week and 1 day a week training velocity a good plan
This great information, thank you .
Is ther a part 2 to this video? What would be the total sets you would and rest periods you should do. How many times a week?
Would you eat in a caloric surplus or at maintenance level for this style of training? Is it possible to gain this strength on a cut?
heavy weight
slow twitch muscle fibers cant be for strength
Can u describe this in simpler terms? Can this be done with limited equipment?
What about plyometrics for strength without gaining weight?
I Hope you can anwser that
1. For example if i want stronger bench press when i get into heavy phase should i go to faliure in my sets?
2. And then do i treat my accessory excercices the same way?
3. Also do you have like sample training programme that i could even purchase?
Yes , I've just finished a bulk 4 weeks (heavy weights)! now I've started strength weights for a fortnight.. This works for me, I'm 56 years old so my heavy weights have dropped to prolong longevity but my intensity hasn't.
I also box and do Trad archery so I train weights with that all in mind also.
In my case as a calisthenics guy i tried to apply what you said but going full velocity with resistance bands (to increase the resistance and difficulty of each exercise) on push ups.
i'm trying to build muscle size so im here to see how NOT to train. XD
Someone help me, I feel like I don’t understand. Does the graph say pick a weight you can do 1 rep max on? And then pick slightly lower weight?
what happens with nutrition in strenght traininig? for expample in a weighted calisthenics aproach. I need to go into a surplus or isnt necessary to gain strenght?
cleaner from gym like this
I'm going to start with a nap…
I really don’t understand the velocity training do I just lower the weight and do it as fast as I can?
Should you be training to failure ever if you are focusing on strength alone ? Also, I heard less is more for strength. I generally see the most strength gains after not doing that exercise for awhile or longer rest periods. So, I would think if training to failure you need a much longer recovery time. Also, can I build strength in Bench and still do hypertrophy for all my other exercises ? I always training with High intensity to failure.
I do wonder how long could an athlete continue making strength progress without gaining significant muscular size? As someone who’s been lifting weights for 1.5 years, I’d imagine training in the 5-rep range without bulking would result in rapid yet short-lived strength increase & very slight body recomposition (ie gain muscle & loss fat). This is a common phenomenon amongst new lifters called newbie gains.
Let’s say an athlete weighs 60 kg and has never stepped foot in the gym his entire life, meaning he has very low neuromuscular efficiency. In just 3 months he probably would’ve maxed out his neuromuscular efficiency at his 60-kg frame and could no longer make strength gains at the same rate; had he committed to a proper bulk, this process could’ve probably lasted for 6 months instead of 3, and even after those 6 months, he would have to switch to an intermediate lifting program (increased volume for hypertrophy) since there’s only so much neuromuscular efficiency left to improve upon – at that point, muscle mass will become the primary determinant of strength.
Perhaps your idea of gaining strength without gaining size is intended for young athletes to improve sport performance in the very short term, but in the long term I believe athletes should progressively overload on their compound lifts AND bulk during the off-season and then go on a cut 1 month before season starts. This way, they would gain significant strength while having gone through a more significant body recomposition via bulk & cut than eating at maintenance calories – in other words, they would own even more muscle mass and even less fat at the exact same body weight. Then throughout the season, they would focus on maintaining instead of gaining strength because lifting should take a backseat to sports practice for in-season athletes.
Love to hear your thoughts on this, considering you have more experience in training athletes :))
This makes so much sense 👏
Thanks broo
You are a lifesaver♨
What he just said made me jacked i swear 😂
I’m gonna implement this, I’m 6’5 and look skinny even though I’m around 120kg. But I’m trying not gain anymore weight and just trying to get stronger
BROTHER I JUST WANT TO ASK ABOUT HOW MUCH SETS SHOULD BE DONE IN 3-5 REPETITIONS😅
This guy has never lifted heavy in his life.
Or you could run a strength program. This guy make it sound like putting on mass is easy.
I wanna be a strong woman 😤so that no one can ***k me up 🗿
If we are doing in High velocity then the Reps should also be high…. Right????
That was really a great video i liked it 😍
Kk tell me we want to increase punch power gaining weight is not a issue for me it is beneficial for me
Then how we do? What kind of program will be good for me?
Cut reps and increased weight 3 weeks ago. Only negative is shoulder pain with bench and slight knee pain with squat. No prior joint issue. Sets 4-5; Reps 2-4.
can I do heavy sets and heavy weight then switch to little bit lighter weight and start lifting as fast as I can for making me more explosive?
Invaluable tips detected.
is there a playlist? i just built my home gym and i used to workout was about 215 lbs in my eairly 20s stopped at 26 now im 31 255 lbs and have a belly lol looking to kill the belly and build pure strength
