      They're both similar in ways, for example, they're both shorts creators who mostly answer questions from viewers, but I wouldn't say Justin's copying Matt's style. There are many content creators who answer questions from viewers, however, I think Matt's content is almost entirely geared towards powerlifting, whereas Justin is more like just general fitness. Justin just has a different personality and trains for different purposes, so his style and content is very different. Videos where creators answer comments for content has always been a thing, however I can understand how it seems like Justin copies Matt, cause they're both fitness shorts creators who both answer questions.

    Tom Platz said it himself. If you're trying to lift the most weight possible, having an upright torso isn't optimal. I don't think anyone would argue this. Including Lui. He's not a powerlifter. He's not trying to lift the most weight possible in the squat. He's squatting to get better at HIS sport. Period.

    if you look at sit to stand research, this explains it really well. you can even try it at home. try to stand up from your chair with feet in front of you so your shins are completely perpendicular and without shifting your torso forward. you can’t bc the moment required at the knee is too great. but if you bring your feet closer to your body and lean your torso forward the moment required at the knee is less and the moment produced at the hip is greater! just a fun little biomechanics lesson

      Honestly it's good, mainly people like to argue with him because he's such an opinionated man. Also a common argument is that it's for beginners, that is maybe true but I recon you can go quite far before you hit a wall. And if you still like the method there's the other programme from him, I think it's called The Texas method or something like that.

    • @TAasali
      @TAasali 2 года назад

      Hi!
      Dont listen to people. The training community is actually kinda small. People like to talk trash, and are more interested in What everyone thinks about everyone.
      Rippetoe is the founder of starting Strength, and that is not «a program». I guess you actually mean the NLP (novice linear progression) and yes thats written by Rippetoe.
      But Rippetoe stands behind several books. If you buy the «grey book» called Practical Programming for Strength Training, you will have the NLP and a lot of more information What to do next! The most important thing, is that you will learn to program yourself.
      My best advice is to follow your program for starting Strength, and buy his books🙌

    Maybe something about rounding the lower back to reach the bottom of a squad. I see you do it slightly.

    • @baz1184
      @baz1184 2 года назад +5

      If your lower back rounds even when you don't use any weight then that means it is just a limit of your structure and it is not dangerous to round. But if your back only rounds when you lift heavy weights then that is due to lower back weakness, so it can be dangerous.

    Should “bodybuilders” even back squat if we deadlift as well? Compared to a deadlift it seems to hit the same muscle groups. I would rather just front squat for legs and use deadlifts for the posterior chain. Wouldn’t that be incorporating more “specificity” for hypertrophy?

In my case, if i do lowbar i literally have to fold myself in half to keep the weight at midfoot. It gets to the point where i'm at a 30 degree angle and my knees are almost at my shoulders, it's ridiculous. And with high bar i'm super weak because my legs are long and i get like more than half a foot of knees going over toes, and i'm still bent over like 45 degrees.

    Hey Matt. You're looking a little chunky. It's not an insult but maybe an opportunity. I don't think you'd loose a single pound of lifting performance if you shrunk up the gut a little. Would that be enough to put you in a lighter weight class for easier records? Or are you just off season? Or would it not be enough to change the weight class?
    I know being actually lean (under 11%) would hurt performance so I'm obviously not asking about going that far. I'm just curious about what's going on. Obviously if you're breaking records then you're doing something right.
    Maybe what i really need is a video explaining powerlifting weight classes amd how to choose.
