    Proud to say I have the world record for "Born in 2001, in June, on a Sunday, in Ontario, to a waitress mom and prison guard dad who were both under 25 years of age, under 6ft and 200lbs, who's name starts with D and drives a Ford Fusion" male deadlift world record. Took a lot of effort but we got there.

    Mitch, recently you have said the words "you haven't earned the right for a one rep max" (paraphrase) - For some reason this has stuck with me and I have really focused on consistency rather than maxing my shit out every so often in the gym. Really grateful for your content and advise. Cheers mate!

    Random fact for the algorithm: What gas is released when you crack your knuckles? The fluid contains the gases oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon dioxide. When you pop or crack a joint, you stretch the joint capsule. Gas is rapidly released, which forms bubbles. In order to crack the same knuckle again, you have to wait until the gases return to the synovial fluid.

    From what I witness in the gym - the leaning is definitely aesthetics and not performance. In fact, I've only witnessed 1 person in the past few years who has been there with an obvious goal of getting stronger. This guy tracks, comes in with a journal and added weight on all his lifts.
    More of what I see is either people who are trying their best not to gain any weight, or people who are definitely aesthetic focused as they either pose after each set, or run into the locker room to take selfies.
    On a personal level, I set 2 goals for myself. Strength gains and improved fitness levels. I've been gradually improving in both areas and will keep doing so.

It went well, but didn’t feel like I had done much as far as fatigue, especially with the bench. Should I be performing this more than once in the week? Should my other days be accessories?

    Really appreciate the videos. For these 6 weeks you mentioned reps and sets but how many times a week would you do this? is it 1 time a week or can you do it more than 1 time a week? Is there ever a time you feel you should skip the workout or drastically drop the weight, perhaps in relation to how you feel your nervous system is responding? I have a lot of questions lol so I think I will have to head over to your website. If I have more questions beyond what is there is there any type of question answer thing? To be honest I have a condition which prevents me from being able to sweat. So in some cases I have had to adjust what I do in training. I look at it though as an opportunity to see training in a different light.

      @mitchellhooperstrongman  Год назад

      This is just a basic peaking protocol and can help you improve your 1 rep max if you’ve never done anything like this. If you’re an experienced lifter, you’re going to need to go through periods of building a bigger base before testing your 1 rep max again. I provided an example for those who wanted to try it but I’d highly recommend following a proper program!

      Intensity is a percentage of your 1 rep max (how heavy you’re lifting compared to your 1 rep max) and volume is total work completed in a session (sets x reps x weight = volume) hopefully that helps 💪🫎

      Volume is how much you do and Intensity is how hard it feels while you're doing it. You measure volume by the total amount of weight that you moved and intensity by how hard it felt. You can normally either lift heavy with not so much volume or light and with a lot of volume, but you can't have both

      I understand that part!
      I can do volume of 30 reps, that’s not gonna help much.
      So if I do 10 that’s intensity.?
      I can build up to an intensity of one rep, or three reps; that makes sense..
      Would volume then be eight reps?

      Just your videos are extremely informative and helpful. I’m just trying to dial-in the best training program.
      I know there’s a lot of other people that follow you, that can help answer the question!
      For example my one rep max and squat is 385.
      I alternate from one session of intensity, to the next one of volume.
      Meaning I pyramid up to 385 or less for 3.
      Volume is sets of 8 at 315…
      I should just buy a book! online gives me a various bunch of answers..

      @@Ont785 High intesitiy training is normally in very low rep ranges like the classic 5x5. If the majority of your sets are in the 1-6 Rep Range I'd say that it's a high intensity workout and if they are in the 10+ rep range it's a high volume workout. The 6-9 rep range is something in between.... Let's call it a hybrid rep range

    Will squats have better carry over to deadlifts, or will deadlifts have better carry over to squats? Say we're trying to increase 5 rep max
