I hadn’t done to much with eccentrics until I got the ultimate bench manual. I’m now a month and a half in and I’ve gone from 17.5 inch arms to 18.75 inch arms as a natural. Don’t skip eccentrics.

I love these bite size information videos! This is what I am trying to tell to all my gym buddies trying to get big: bodybuilding is a strength sport first of all and if you don't get strong, you'l just be messing around in the gym, always on a plateau, then eventually drop out or just stay at the same lame level for years. It's one thing to bench 10 rep sets with 80 kg and totally different with 130.
Thank you for mentioning Knees over guy because the data is a bit mixed up these days ,for reps it feels more comfortable but with over 225 its definitely not so once again I always appreciate your info and opinions
Ben doesn’t recommend working through pain, bad form, or a one size fits all approach for different goals and intentions. Range of motion, technique, and intensity are always context dependent. Figure out what your main goal is first and then apply the principle of specificity.
Kneesovertoesguy isn't trying to powerlift, he's trying to optimize movement. His deadlift form looked fookin awful when he deadlifted with Mark Bell. I feel like there's a lot kneesovertoesguy can learn from Wenning and strength training. He loves promoting how that pro hockey player was the only guy on his team who was able to do Nordic curls and he was 37 years old. But Louis Simmons has a video on one of his channels of a 300+ guy doing nordics for reps.
I started getting close to my genetic potential years ago and it wasn't until I started following some examples in your powerbuilding manual for 3 and 5sec eccentrics on downsets and dynamic effort that I started growing and retaining muscle after recovering from covid
Great video. Really solid advice I live by personally so thanks for the reinforcement. It was great to hear knees over toes guys mentioned. There's pros and cons to everything and the connotations with his material is nothing but knees over toes. It's not that's it's wrong but there's a balance to everything. It has its place but it's extreme.
Great info, currently implementing stuff from off season manual then moving onto Hypertrophy manual. Have started to look at it and learn. Tempos on the eccentrics for squats look 👌
i have known about louis simmons for years. since he was probably on "bigger , stronger, faster", if my memory is correct. i probably have seen him on vice also. so i think i probably know about box squats from seeing clips of him and his guys doing them. ive gotten reinterested about him in the past couple days because i have gotten back into a healthier routine. did a youtube search on him, watched the first few videos and probably your video about him came up. youve got quite the collection of informative videos. it helps with maintaining motivation as well. watched a lot of your videos and i totally get the whole reduce mileage aspect. i want to reduce the pain so i have to get bigger and stronger without reirritating and reinjuring
Ever since I discovered straight shank from you. I never wanted to go back to knees but over toes. Even doing elevated heel squats from your manuals I try to have a straight shin.
Do you have any advice on how to switch to straight shank from knees over toes? I can get pretty close to maintaining a vertical shin if I’m leaning extremely far forward but it doesn’t seem right still. I’m hesitant to switch because I won’t be able to load my squat movements anywhere near what I do currently until I adapt to using a straight shank. If you have any tips that would be awesome.
I really appreciate your distinction between between 90 degree knee bend and the super deep stuff kneesovertoesguy does. I appreciate both and do my best to combine them to feel my best and I thought you had a great... haha whatever the word is for describing what something is for. It’s super interesting that the best kneesovertoes squatters are probably Olympic weightlifters and they spend their whole lives to squat 500lbs ATG. As opposed to 90 degrees being the strongest position where the best can handle well over 1000lbs!
It's good info on eccentrics cause there are so many lifters in gyms swinging the weight around. Check out some of Jay Cutlers workouts. He often does a pause on the last few reps of the set to make the muscle work more.
Another great video and I just watched you on Dave Tate's podcast it was awesome. It would be a good one to see you and Josh Bryant do a podcast or some form of a collaboration
Matt, I love the sign on your desk “CANT FIX STUPID “… I say all the time especially to my kids (not at them but about others) ..”YOU CANT TEACH STUPID”…when your a dumb a$$ your a dumb a$$…lol… keep up the great content!!
Hi Matt, what’ s your opinion on overcoming isometrics for big lifts for strength development and how would you implement it.(Could be a good topic for a video, I believe). And as always good quality and helpfull content, best source of informations in the game 🔥. Thank you
Is it fair to say you approach quad hypertrophy in the same way you approach chest hypertrophy, accepting whatever gains come by squatting/benching in healthy ways but not purposefully targeting those muscles? As in, prefer to emphasize triceps for bench and posterior chain for squats, and let whatever quads/chest gains come as you do that, come?
@@WenningStrength your channel is the best channel i found so far concerning strength training. I‘m a physicist and a like your intelligent, scientific and integral view on everything. I‘m recommanding your channel to friends.
105 lbs db is just 30% of your max? Then you would bench almost 900. (If your db bench is 80% of ur BB.) Would LÖVE 2 c u db bench 300lbs Even 200 lbs per dumbell would be IMPRESSIVE! But I doubt even You can do that! Go Wenning! Show us your one or two rep max db bench! Pls.
Very important to look intimidating so people leave you alone.

80k coming soon!! Road to a milli!! I’m here.
The eccentrics are where it’s at 🔥! The 3-5 sec negatives are killer! Made tons of progress!
Yep!!!! Consider patreon brother these videos are costly
Who wants to be big but weak?? Love the pump of eccentrics. Time under tension… good shit!

@@WenningStrength sled work is essentially knees over toes, is it not? You, Tate, Simmons etc have preached sled work

Depends
I ask that because I think many emphasize knees over toes or like slant board squats in order to maximize quad hypertrophy.

Then you would bench almost 900.
(If your db bench is 80% of ur BB.)
Would LÖVE 2 c u db bench 300lbs
Even 200 lbs per dumbell would be IMPRESSIVE!
But I doubt even You can do that!
Go Wenning!
Show us your one or two rep max db bench! Pls.

200lb of 600 is 30%. Math boy :)))
