👊🏻 Thank you!

Thank you. I recently upgraded my setup by putting the Bells of Steel Cable Tower in between my squat stands and the wall. Now it's super easy to adjust the setup. I'll have to make a new video showing it off.

FCF was losing traction. Fewer submissions each week. So, I took a break to focus on building my next "project." Once that's done, I'll be back. Thanks for checking in on me. 💪🏻

@HORNSTRENGTH Great stuff. I only actually discovered your program recently after giving up on SS. I ordered your book yesterday, keen to get started.

@@brendanmarsh4523 Thank you for picking up the book! If you've been through SS, I think you'll really like the approach of RSS. Keep me posted after you try it out for a few months. And if you need any help along the way, I'm over at community.hornstrength.com/ answering questions every day. Come on by and say hi. Thanks again for the support. 💪🏻

I have no idea. I don't use resistance bands. Give it a shot. 🤷‍♂️

@@HORNSTRENGTH will do a mix of bodyweight and bands, gym time is limited right now

That's interesting. Can you explain where you put the cable tie? I'm trying to visualize it.

@@HORNSTRENGTH I have it wrapped around the top of the n shaped bracket holding the wheel, and pushed down to prevent the cable from escaping.

For the stretch yes. For the actual squat, it's up to you. I use a thumbs-around grip.

Funny, I actually just added plate storage pins to the rack for this very reason. Also paired it with a cable tower. I'll have to make an updated video.

Glad you liked it

@@HORNSTRENGTH 👍🙏

Awesome! Glad it was useful. Thank you so much for the comment. It made my day. Congrats on starting your coaching "journey" and helping others get stronger! It's important. 💪🏻

I'm with you. Way easier to setup and adjust too.

Cable tower is just under $400 each if you want plate loaded ones; and this is the minimum already. You'll need enough space and potentially add in one more to do exercises like flies. Anchoring to one point of resistance for flies is only beneficial if you do one arm at a time - which the cable tower can't offer unless you purchase 2. So you're looking at $800ish. I think I'd rather spend what he did to make a poor man's version.

@@ssjayy-xs5lh It's good to have options. I've got the BOS cable tower coming next week. Gonna see if I can get creative with just the one unit.

Glad it helped!

Of course. It just has more calories.

It is the bane of my existence right now, but that's how these things go. Eventually, it will come together. I wish I had a concrete timeline for you, but anything I say right now will change. Glad to know someone out there is interested. I better get back to work!

You want the narrowest grip you can tolerate. The closer the hands are to the shoulders, the more "bunched up" the posterior deltoids will be. That creates a stable shelf for the bar to sit. Grip width will vary depending on the flexibility of the trainee. Now, if you're getting tendonitis, I would switch to a thumb-around grip. ruclips.net/video/Ik17Kb-cnoE/видео.htmlsi=sz0HKH5siboma1f9

It'll help with general shoulder flexibility, but most people don't have flexibility issues with the high-bar position. My guess is that the elbow pain is stemming from another form error.

Thank you! I don't think anyone will know (or care) if you use a fake name. I think we have one guy who just put his initials. All good with me.

That's why you're here! You're not far off. Just need to work on the descent. Very common issue: ruclips.net/video/6Sn_r50801o/видео.htmlsi=6fh86Xrq5n24dIfi&t=3164

My pleasure!

See you there!

If getting under the bar didn't make things tighten up or cause any discomfort, you wouldn't need to stretch. That's the point. It's not supposed to feel good. But pushing into the discomfort for 3-4 seconds, relaxing, and then pushing in a little deeper is the best method I've found for improving shoulder flexibility. That being said, I have no idea what kind of pain you're experiencing, given your previous shoulder injury. You have to decide if using this stretch is appropriate and safe.

My pleasure!

You got it!

At the same time. Always at the same time. ruclips.net/video/wc8R8QXiufU/видео.htmlsi=OvEGSOV96uRfuVb6&t=3100 ruclips.net/video/8WQOgLJ5hVU/видео.htmlsi=Ta8KIwUV8znfkTlS&t=220

Thanks Paul great advice and instruction again 👍

@@grahamfraser1798 Of course! Happy to help. 💪🏻

Sure. If there's an underlying issue, that needs to be addressed so that training can continue.

I don't know about "genius," but I'm glad you like the idea. 💪🏻

Thank you!

Happy to help. Looking forward to seeing the next one. 💪🏻

My pleasure! Thank you for watching. Post a video sometime and let's take a look at your from. 💪🏻

Looking forward to it!

Thank you, brother! 🫡

They'll keep for 4-5 days. You can also put them in the freezer.

Always happy to help. Thank you for watching! 💪🏻

Correct. Allowing the wrists to bend back in the thumbs-around grip reduces the tension on the shoulders and pecs. So, to create a stable shelf of muscle for the bar to sit on means you need to bring your hand closer together. Basically, you want the narrowest grip you can tolerate (hands as close to the shoulders as possible). But this is important: In the thumbs-on-top grip, you can just slide your hands inward and narrow the grip width once you're under the bar. You cannot do that with the thumbs-around grip (too much friction). So, you have to narrow your grip BEFORE you get under the bar. Use the markings on the barbell as a reference. Start wide (e.g., index finger on the mark). As you progress through your warmups and the shoulders loosen up, move in one finger with each set or two so that by the time you're ready for your work set, you might have your ring finger or even pinky finger on the mark. Takes a little practice, but you'll figure out how tight you can get.
