I’m loving the consistency and content of lift companion recently. The vibes you guys bring into the gym is fire, and seeing your full training sessions are exciting
This is so much better than the other video. Handheld cam is fine for when you guys are talking and then cutting to the fixed camera for the lifts is perfect.
Your discussion on adductors and the advantages/disadvantages of knee wraps, all excellent, and have made training points I have heard and witnessed in the past a lot more clear now. Your random discussions in these sessions result in occasional gems that will help someone in your audience. Keep up the good work!
As someone that has beat the drum the last few videos complaining about the camera work, my compliments this time. Much, much better. It's fine to mix in the close up stuff periodically, but the overwhelming majority being close, moving shots was annoying. And the banter with the cameraman was much better and felt less forced this time. It's good to remember Zack and Dylan are the stars but the occasional questions and such worked and flowed this time. Oh, and sweet clean cold (x2) my dude.
@@zacktelander That's awesome. Always working on your craft. :) I love this series. It's just so damn good. I click the link as soon as I get the notification. As a shitty CrossFitter that can't do Oly lifting for shit, I just love to listen and try to incorporate the knowledge you drop. And even if I don't learn anything (which I do) it's still entertaining as F.
The training traps comment.... my physique was at its peak in my crossfit days and for a woman I have narly traps from the oly lifting. When I spent time in a regular gym I had no idea why people would stand there and do shrugs. 😅
Looking for some advice. For someone who isn't a competitive weightlifter is it worth buying an expensive needle bearing bar or is something like a Rogue Training Bar sufficient? I'm looking for a WL specific bar. Currently I'm using a Rogue Ohio Bar. If it's worth spending the additional 💲 I'm ok saving a bit longer. Probably looking at the Rogue Boneyard since I have 2 from their already and their rejects are better than what most companies call first quality.
recently I started training with a WL barbell, I can tell you the difference. First of all they are thinner they 28mm diameter so they can isolate as well what is something important for the jerk when it gets heavy enough, they spin a loooot more they can get more momentum. But if you just do it for fun and not for lifting heavy for a competitive purpose you have no need to buy it
Had 3 bars so far, my next one is an Eleiko. Don't want to hate on any brands here, the main feature to look for besides spin is the springiness of the steel. That makes a big difference on hip contact regardless of weight. You want a steel that bends but springs back, stay away from power lifting bars and make sure you get a springy one. You can smack it with your hand and check out if it vibrates nicely.
The training bar is great, unless you're elite you can't tell a difference. It's a great bar, 28mm diameter, good knurling and spin, and as whippy as the $1500 eleiko I lift on
hearing all the mobility talk made me really think about just how much oly lifting demands on my body. now i understand why my coach's warm up is so damn thorough, you really do need everything to be firing!
What does doing the side to side steps on the belt squat work exactly? I’m so new to Olympic lifting so I’m still trying to figure out exactly how to structure my workouts now.
Gentlemen, loved this video. Super fun. QUESTION: Did Dozer say something like "mumble mumble scared and nervous mumble mumble is anabolic mumble." ?? And if so could you please elaborate? Signed, your biggest fan. And where can I get a dozer shirt to add to my ZT collection? GRACIAS in advance!!
Shoutouts to Nico power cleaning 100kg cold twice. Absolute mad lad.
LMFAOOO
Impressed with the Calf raise to get it on the rack. I bet he has the biggest calves out of the 3 of them 😉👍
Seriously. I also like how they get him involved in the conversations.
Shaky cam wasn't as bad this time, but I prefer the stationary camera angles when you're doing the lifts. Keep up the great work boys
Hard not to shake in the presence of greatness
agree. love this, but the stationary 1/2 camera hangouts and just blast are the purest form of lifting companion. where is the driveway zack?
I love the driveway
Camera man clean was shocking. Lowkey hella strong
😂😂😂 Thanks!
Lock the doors
Hide your moms!
Lock em baby

i could fix my Split-Jerk by watching Dylan

Best part of the day that intro music
The music is dope 🤘
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Luv these types of videos! The method and mindset to a session.

yeah we have taken the comments to heart and are trying to dial it in even more. we just shot the last lift companion I think perfectly for you guys.

@zacktelander amazing how you take feedback. I also commented on the camera angles. This is much appreciated. Keep up your good work!
Thanks for the advise on CNS response and recovery it really got me thinking breaking up my sessions for optimal recovery 👍
the consistent content is very much appreciated.
Y’all’s content is not like any others and I love it
I love these videos keep them coming! Also the theme tune slaps
This song in the beginning is so fire bro it gets me screaming in my car when grizzly is screaming 😂😂
2:52 impressive arms
We love a lift companion
Love these types of videos!
Thank you for getting into weightlifting!!
Did he leave cal strength due to injury?
Best intro music of all time
These vids are making me wanna weightlift
Love your content pls 🙏🙏 never stop 🥰
New to the channel, have already learned so much, no hate, it looks like Dylan never stands up 308. Am I crazy?
308 what?
The training traps comment.... my physique was at its peak in my crossfit days and for a woman I have narly traps from the oly lifting. When I spent time in a regular gym I had no idea why people would stand there and do shrugs. 😅
Closing thoughts on point
I NEED the intro song. PLEASE
would love to get a training session in one day
When your Gallbladder is warm… bars get bent! Remember that kids!
I really wanted to pay attention, but with Maddy out there lifting in the back... Guess my split jerk is not going to improve much haha
lock the doors
Based and Telander pilled
Where can I buy the Lifting Companion theme to play on my way to the gym?
Good session
😂 Zack wants an uber driven by Mr Meeseeks
Any reason Dijon wears his belt so low?
Mustard
Why do y’all rerack the jerk in the front instead of the back?
No correction, no direction

get a regular olympic training bar, don't need a comp spec barbell for general training

beats the hell out of an Ohio bar for weightlifting
Nico flores doing work 👍🏻
Numbers were off at a few points in the video
Is tripling 160 a pr??? Did not see that coming
It was 140
@@marcusbaxby6798 okay thanks. Not sure why I mixed it up
Anyone know the name of the song from the intro?
I wanna know, i neeeeeed to know!!
yayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayaya
For the algo gainz
How many days in a row can you squat 200... I think squat everyday guy is on 24 days... And still improving WTF
Didn't know eleiko did fake weights too. The camera man is racking your 100kg with ease and all, twice.
you are always w/ a hat. use to the gym to attach the microphone. ❤
Are you on the vertical diet?
I love this new gym guys 👍
Yes/no machine, immensely underrated.
Great content! The average gym user doesn’t realize how hard weightlifting is and how hard you need to push yourself to even be a mid level lifter.
Pretty sure I follow the lift companion episodes more closely than any TV show I've ever watched. Top tier content
hearing all the mobility talk made me really think about just how much oly lifting demands on my body. now i understand why my coach's warm up is so damn thorough, you really do need everything to be firing!
What do you mean 'until you feel warm'? I thought that that was like a metaphor to just mean you have to do it a few times to loosen up a bit.
One of the best weight lifting videos I have seen talking about all the little things that go into the sport
Camera man strong AF
What does doing the side to side steps on the belt squat work exactly? I’m so new to Olympic lifting so I’m still trying to figure out exactly how to structure my workouts now.
Hip activation and especially glute mid which is asleep in 99% of the population
Chicken legs and yet so strong.. how is it possible?
The boys are back 🐶
3:33 Clarence???
Zack, Barbell Side Lunges will give you all you need in your Hip Adductors. Probably the greatest lift for the legs that most will never do...
I really need help with my jerk. After 115kg I push the bar away from me. I got the strength to do
Way more than I am now.
The loft companions somehow become something I really look forward to. Didn’t gaf about Olympic weightlifting before this…😂
You mentioned rehab briefly, and I was wondering if you have any advice on how to train while healing from a muscle strain. Thanks !
LOCK THE DOORS
These videos are my preworkout
When should I consider using knee sleeves for the first time?
These are great! Any reason you're not training at Stonehedge?
I love this type of video so much as a weightlifter
24:07 that should be 140/308 tho
Anyone else get motion sick during the last 2 vids?
18:46 is my kind of energy 😂
Dylan is the man! puts up a lot
🏋
LETS GO
Gentlemen, loved this video. Super fun. QUESTION: Did Dozer say something like "mumble mumble scared and nervous mumble mumble is anabolic mumble." ?? And if so could you please elaborate? Signed, your biggest fan. And where can I get a dozer shirt to add to my ZT collection? GRACIAS in advance!!
Is there a leg preference when doing the jerk?
I still cant figure out which one feels better if L or R 🥲
