I'm not sure about that, I've been doing accelerated exercise for 3.5 years and I have the same percentage of muscle as him, it could be because my genetics are better than his, I don't really know, I think it depends on the metabolism of each person as well.
Although the main challenge for people to not be muscular is not lack of knowledge of exercices or technique. But actualy maintain a bodybuilding/sport lifestyle all year every year non stop Mosr people after 25 stop working out in a regular continued way. Cause job or life challenges is draining their energy many people who used to be athletic years ago. Havent done 3 weeks of continues workout since like 2 years 😂 This is the real problematic on why people arent muscular. Lack of exercice lifestyle
I’m 31 now and I no longer understand why anyone puts building muscle as a higher priority than building strength. It seems like a mental illness to me
bodybuilding, its the best way to attain the most amount of muscle. its usually done to work towards a usually attractive body (excluding the ones that cannot be trained, like the face) its not a mental illness, more like a symptom of society's standards for conventional attractiveness.
I agree strength is important but building some muscle is too. For most people both will come hand in hand. Your muscles will atrophy as you age, building some muscle is fine and probably encouraged. Yes building so much that you look like a genetic freak is probably not healthy but I doubt most people are getting there.
One piece of advice I wish I had heard sooner is to record your sets every now and then. It's upon watching a tape of me doing pull ups that I realised I was going way too fast on the eccentric phase.
@@adithya444 You might as well search for a more precise definition of concentric/eccentric contraction but to answer your question, it is the same. When you go down it's the eccentric part and when you go up the concentric one.
But when you yourself do it, it’s not painful. I feel the same way and it’s weird isn’t it. It looks painful but until I get onto that dip bar and go fast like he was, it ain’t painful at all
@@jasonhaiflich8967its more a matter of the faster you go on the eccentric the more chance there is of an injury happening, especially when you start adding a lot of weight
To the best of my knowledge, most research suggests a fast concentric is superior for both strength and muscle growth. And there was no difference between a 1s eccentric and a 4s eccentric. You can interpret that in either direction: Do more contractions because longer eccentrics offer no benefit, or maintain TuT by milking the eccentric. While your tolerance for volume may differ greatly from 1 person to the next, volume is the number 1 factor for building muscle. Mechanical tension and thus your proximity to failure is the next most important factor. For strength, proximity to failure isn't as important, but the load is. It needs to be heavy. And that's where it will veer away from hypertrophy training. You can't amass as much volume because it's too taxing (and too time consuming, rest included.)
Fast concentric, no pause at maximum contraction, slow eccentric, big stretch at the bottom. That’s what RP teaches for maximum hypertrophy stimulation. It makes you really sore and thus you require less weight less sets and less exercises per muscle. Super efficient if growth is your goal.
Damn a guy that explained it with PRECISION. No bs. No “ya gotta do it this way bro.” Just an honest explanation of what is better for what, and why. Bravo!
Agree with most of this but explosive concentrics are likely better due to greater strength development equating to more hypertrophy down the line. Controlled eccentrics and full-rom (most importantly the lengthened position) are a must but pauses are very likely not neccasary. There is already decent evidence to suggest that intentionally using the strech-reflex is very stimulative.
This is stuff that I’m looking for! Great information. I train for explosiveness and strength so I always do my reps quickly and I utilise the stretch reflex to get as many reps as possible. Slow negatives with a large ROM is more ideal for muscle hypertrophy!
@@GOATED-NF Muscle size is increased through a process known as hypertrophy. As we understand it today this is stimulated by producing force under mechanical tension, the amount of time under tension and more recent research suggests tension in the stretched position. Therefore a slower controlled rep will produce more stimulus compared to a fast "twitchy" rep of the same weight. In regards to size and strength. Larger muscles will generally be stronger than smaller muscles because there is a proven correlation between muscle size and strength. However when individual comparisons are made a person with smaller muscles can be stronger because strength has different factors other than just size, such as: neurological adaptation (training) or different muscle fiber composition (fast vs slow twitch).
bodybuilding is usually done in hopes to be attractive to others, due to the general benefits it gives in society. strength isnt a priority for most people, especially because the majority of the most lucrative jobs dont require much physical power
I've been around since you were a teen in your parents back yard, it's fabulous to see that you're still sharing incredible body weight fitness knowledge today. Well done Daniel.
Best piece of advice I ever heard when it came to lifting and gaining muscle; slow down and control the negative. Sometimes I'll even do 5 second eccentrics just to add the more tension on the last two reps of a set to really try to tear the fibers.
Key points during workout: 1. Maximize time under tension. 2. Full ROM. 3. Progressive overload. Leads to muscle growth. Out of gym key points: Protein intake per day. Adequate sleep/rest. Be sincere 🙏
He's right. I used to do this on pull ups and when I did arm curls. My wrist and forearms were in pain the next day after workouts. Now that I perform the workouts at a slower pace. It made a world of difference.
I’ve never had soreness problems or injury when training high weight and low reps. Just snack a lot and chug water and practice your form with a low to mid weight before you add shit to your repertoire and it’s gonna be pretty much impossible to get injured. I’ve just been building an accidental sleeper build this whole time I guess.
Yes exactly! I know I can do more than 12 pull ups, if I sacrifice the controlled eccentric. But I don’t care enough to see what my pr for that is. It feels like a genuine waste of effort. Pull-ups are my only body weight exercise in my routine. I started doing 5-6 with not great form, did it at night in a corner of the gym to avoid embarrassment. Now I proudly do them whenever
But... isn't building strength the point? "Hey bro, check out my gains. I'm jacked!" "Nice. How many chin ups can you do?" "My PB is at 5, bro. How sweet is that!"
We're not _all_ soldiers or fighters, I'll grant you that much. But consider the following: ~ Everyone can benefit from self defense. ~ Physical labour. As a job or something like moving a couch up a flight of stairs. ~ Sports. Especially combat sports, but also ball sports in general. ~ Showing off. Big muscles is one way, but far from the only way. Brute strength (lifting something heavy), explosive strength (doing a backflip), feats of endurence ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) ~ Aesthetic. Training for hypertrophy is a continuation of the concept that functional muscles are visually pleasing. ~ Caveman brain think smash rock fun. Need strong to smash rock. Big strong, not big size.
Yes it is. Scientifically an explosive 1-second contraction followed by up to 7 seconds in the negative is the most stimulus. So it's explosive power and controlling the negative that is the most muscle building.
Explosiveness on concentric part of the movement and controlling the eccentric part of the movement is fine and pausing at the bottom stretch is far more important than resting at the top
Great info as I just starting lifting weights and I actually prefer slower movements. I count reps but on the last set I try to go as slow as possible until absolute failure. Then later I’ll go back to that muscle group with a much lighter weight and do very slow reps until failure again. I feel like I already have improvement
I’ve always been about controlled technique (something I learned from. Muscle and Fitness mag back in the early 80s!). When I watch these young kids lifting heavier than they should with explosive and incorrect technique I cringe! After many years ~ decades in fact ~ of weight training, swimming, surfing and martial arts; I had surgery on my rotator cuff and thankfully I’m mostly back to good (and I’m past the half way mark of life) some of the young ones aren’t going to get to 35 without a surgery, if they’re not careful ! Great video mate ~ Keep educating . The OG. 🇦🇺 💪🏽😎☀️🏄♂️💦
Explosive movements would increase strength more because it works the nervous system more and improved nervous system response increases strength. Explosive reps should only come after having perfect stability otherwise you will get injured.
With the second technique, the muscles look better but don't work in harmony as well, meaning they are strong individually but can't work flexibly along with other muscles as well. For most real life situations where this strength might be required, injury will result when using the muscles at extremes and in conjunction with other muscle groups. Also, bigger pumped muscles that don't have the inner density, hurt easier on impact, something to consider in combat sports for example.
I've been trying to wrap my head around this because to me it seems like lifting can turn into more technique or raw physical power and the slow muscle building control seems to give you the pure raw power and grows muscle + endurance compared to traditional strength training where you can do 1 rep super heavy then gas out but seems more like a sport than actually getting stronger
You can train explosively for muscle growth as long as the negative is slow and you pause in the stretched position m, be as athletic as you want in the positive
a simple way you can get the best of both is to have a slow, controlled eccentric but an explosive concentric. and you don't need to have sloppy form on the concentric to do that, just do it quickly
Remember: "Strength" in this context is a neuromuscular development. It's not about more muscle fibers, it's about those muscle fibers learning to contract harder and more coordinated.
Ngl, this also happens to me sometimes when my goal is hypertrophy, so when I go heavy, it's hard to do the negative because you just feel so bad as you make each rep difficult, but it's happens to me sometimes so I am happy that my gain is still not wasted 😅❤

You are absolutely right! Imagine having huge biceps and not being able to do something. Training for strength is the main goal!
I don't understand how doing the motion controlled results in less strength but more muscle. But it's the opposite for explosive movements

I'm glad at least one guy is spreading good info about lifting!
GREAT SIR. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🔥😎 NO ONE MOSTLY TOLD THIS ONE ! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR PODCAST SIR !
The real tip is balance. The more you diversify the better your overall fitness and health.
I love any trainer who gives more emphasis on resistance training (making each rep count) than ones who don't
I use time under tension for every strength exercise I do, very effective 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Slow and controlled on the way down. Smooth but faster movement on the way up is my philosophy. Sometimes a pause, but not always
You and Alex are the only ones with good information RUclips shorts 🔥
Yes it is. Scientifically an explosive 1-second contraction followed by up to 7 seconds in the negative is the most stimulus. So it's explosive power and controlling the negative that is the most muscle building.

As an over-60 calisthenics guy this is what I try to do, controlled reps. I stopped chasing numbers.
That actually makes perfect sense. Thanks bro bro

Love how you look bro. Respect :)
What if you wanted to do both build muscle, while increasing your strength simultaneously
Pausing at the top is resting
One of the best advice. Base. 👌💪💪
Very well explained 👍🏻
I needed this. Thank you sir.
Its usually fine to do reps explosively as long as the eccentric is slowed down. Explosive concentrics should be fine most of the time.
explosive into a static hold at peak concentric is the good stuff. reset with a respectable eccentric into a dead stop
I’ve always been about controlled technique (something I learned from. Muscle and Fitness mag back in the early 80s!).
When I watch these young kids lifting heavier than they should with explosive and incorrect technique I cringe!

Explosive movements would increase strength more because it works the nervous system more and improved nervous system response increases strength. Explosive reps should only come after having perfect stability otherwise you will get injured.
Those dips were literal art
What’s muscle without strength tho , id rather look a little less jacked and be stronger than huge but a bit weaker
I would still include SOME explosive sets, because it comes with its own benefits, which you pointed out in this video.
Thanx for the vids dude. Finally seeing results after a little over a year.(Calisthenics only)
This is good advice when you can easily do 10-15 reps. But, if your below that, each rep is already pretty difficult.
With the second technique, the muscles look better but don't work in harmony as well, meaning they are strong individually but can't work flexibly along with other muscles as well.
For most real life situations where this strength might be required, injury will result when using the muscles at extremes and in conjunction with other muscle groups.

GOD BLESS EVERYONE KEEP EVERYONE HAPPY , HEALTHY AND SAFE 🙏🏾
You can train explosively for muscle growth as long as the negative is slow and you pause in the stretched position m, be as athletic as you want in the positive
not only that, it also saves time as each rep is harder to do, you can do less but more at the same time
But which one makes me stronger no one cares how big you look only how strong you are
It should be explosive on the positive and slow and controlled on the negative for maximum muscle growth .
Actually what I want is strength without big muscles
a simple way you can get the best of both is to have a slow, controlled eccentric but an explosive concentric. and you don't need to have sloppy form on the concentric to do that, just do it quickly
Straight facts brother
Seek Inefficiency for tension that leads to hypertrophy and strength
Remember: "Strength" in this context is a neuromuscular development. It's not about more muscle fibers, it's about those muscle fibers learning to contract harder and more coordinated.
I love your music Ren, keep it up.
Yes! This is how i train too, best way to max natural gains
Yesssss. Love the demonstrations 😂😭
Thank you, Daniel
What about explosive concentric and slow negatives?
the best video out there
Great video perfectly concise
I needed to hear this thanks ❤
Ever since I lowered the weight and slowed my reps, my muscle development has been more effective
Ngl, this also happens to me sometimes when my goal is hypertrophy, so when I go heavy, it's hard to do the negative because you just feel so bad as you make each rep difficult, but it's happens to me sometimes so I am happy that my gain is still not wasted 😅❤
