Excellent information, Andrew. Filming yourself is a real eye opener into what your form really looks like. My form almost always looks worse than I’m imagining while doing the exercise.
I think there are two schools of thought. The first says that imperfect form lets you get more practice, and the form will be eventually cleaned up. The second is that bad form will be ingrained and the form will need to be unlearned and relearned. Both seem to get by in the end (or you only hear from those that succeed)
100% The issue I have is a) Jumping progressions: For example, I regularly see people trying to learn to muscle up before they have even one pull up in their locker. And b) ego lifting: Doing exercises with bad form from the jump, and never prioritising quality. that being said, I think as long as the intent is to hit good form eventually, we're all good
I think it depends on the exercise, muscle ups with bad form will get you injured but having a slight banana back when doing your first handstand attempts is perfectly normal.
Great question. Personally I think when doing any strength work, we should intend to do the concentric part of the movement (shortening phase) as fast as possible with a controlled eccentric. Even if it doesn't 'feel' fast, our intention matters and so we're more likely to recruit more of the type IIx muscle fibres which are far better suited to increased force output 💪🏿
@@CaliToTheCrowd Ah, thank you for your response!! That probably makes sense, I’ve been doing most of my pulling exercises in a pretty slow manner. Dr Mike preaches the benefits of a very slow and controlled eccentric, so that’s what I’ve been doing, and while that’s great for hypertrophy, I now realise it’s less than ideal for strength gains. I’ve been wondering why I haven’t been getting that much stronger! Even though it’s mainly for strength, do you think pulling with explosive intent will still be somewhat good for hypertrophy? Appreciate your response, and your videos! I’ve been watching a TON lately since I’m trying to master my technique on the basics, and finally learn some skills! Hope you’re doing well
Can you tell how to do progressive overload like for first time doing weighted push up so how much weight do i carry by weighted vest to do pushup , squats
The pull up comparison at the beginning killed me 😂😂
The other guy is doing jackoff CrossFit pull-ups.
Excellent information, Andrew.

I really like the topics you've been talking about recently
Cheers James 👊🏿

I always try to do every pull up same, when i get tired i just pull less, but yeah form is everything
Great video as always Andrew!! I wanted to ask which form you think is better for weighted pull ups, slow, or fast?

Sure thing. I have a video here on how to progressively overload bodyweight exercises; ruclips.net/video/GFAebtu_1VQ/видео.html
