Workout Mistake - The Big FAT Strength Lie!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 26 авг 2024
- Have you been told that strength is everything when it comes to seeing gains from your workouts? If so, you are making the biggest workout mistake you can be making and you’re definitely going to want to watch this video. Here I am going to address the big fat strength lie that is more rampant now than ever before. Now, don’t get me wrong. Strength training is and always will be the cornerstone and the focal point of your workouts. That said, doing this without focusing on the roots of that strength is going to lead you down a troubled path.

So you may have been told that strength is the most important element you want to address in your training. Without it, everything else will suffer and therefore you need to make sure you are maximally strong at all costs. While being strong is crucial, building strength on a weak foundation is one of the biggest workout mistakes that you can make. The key to building true strength is to realize that just like a tree, you’re only as strong as your roots.
In the world of training this means that if there is something that can be impaired that takes your strength away from you, then the strength is not the foundation. Much like a tree may look strong above the ground, if you examined below the surface and saw weak and dying roots that tree is not going to be standing for much longer - no matter how big and strong it may appear.
So what you need to focus on is prefacing your strength progression with a solid base of full flexibility, mobility and stability. Now many people will look at this and say to themselves that they are getting it right because they are doing at least 30 minutes of mobility work and stretching before they work out. That is not necessarily even a good thing. Why? Because if you are just adding additional range of motion to a system that is not stable, then you are going to be even more likely to break down and commit this devastating workout mistake.
Stability is not strength. It is a form of strength that is not measured by the contractile force of a muscle but rather the ability to control the contraction throughout the range of motion (and even at both extreme ends of it). In the example of a squat, a person that is incredibly stable will be able to perform the squat and pause at the bottom of the rep. Beyond that however, they need to be able to return to the top in one piece without desegmentation of the body on the way up. They need to be able to not have their knees drift in or out, or their hips waver side to side at any point.
When one is maximally stable, they are maximally efficient in their bar path during the squat and have no wasted motion. Their rep speed is unhindered or unslowed throughout the entire range of motion. This may mean that you need to drop the weight that you are using a bit in order to realize this level of control. If so, then do so. The goal is not to simply chase numbers at the expense of your stability.
Working on your mobility and flexibility as well are going to be vital to getting through a full range of motion and commanding the true strength you do have along the way. If and only if you do this will you ever realize your true strength without risk of incurring injuries like hip labral tears, low back blowouts and unnecessary hip joint and muscle pain.

Lmfao😂
Underrated comment !
Noicly done🤣
Hey Jeff, I think it would be awesome if you did a series on your favorite mobility, flexibility, and stability exercises for each body part
He already created a playlist
@@MrFrezeer which playlist? I'm gonna go binge watch it
@Manuel Garnica Did Jeff creat videos about stability? I can't find them.
@@tdw-rk9gh Stability is doing everything with balanced formed
I think you can inculcate calisthenics and mobility in your workouts to strengthen mobility, flexibility and stability
@@MrFrezeer thanks for this, man.

I choked on my lunch when I read this comment.
You, sir, deserve a medal for that
I love your comment. Deserves to be on the top.
FERTILIZER IS KILLING YOUR TREE GROWTH (TOO MUCH NITROGEN)
@@vaanes what if you fed your tree beetroot
The three mechanisms to build your foundation are progressive overload on face pulls, eccentrics on face pulls, and high rep metabolic stress face pulls.
To increase *stability-*
*1.* Hold for 1 second at the point of maximum tension
*2.* Follow the 2-1 rule. Take 2 seconds for the movement along gravity. 1 second against it.
This helped me big time!
Thank you for writing something informative compared to all these stupid jokes about Jeff. Gonna try that soon!
Thanks for being the best physical therapist/trainer I could ever get
.. and RUclips channel
Couldn't have said it any better!...👌💪😲👉🏋️♂️
Do I smell a new series? Stability work shoulders hips and knees! Love it Jeff good work
That'd be helpful. Lol
yes please
Yes! Stability videos please!
Yes, im down.
I wish so. from all parts of this tree my shoulders only have mobility (one of them lacks a little). the more I train them the weaker they get.no size increase & no more strength.

How is Jeff cavaliere's videos are for free? This guy is a BEAST.
They're constantly promoting products he sells though
Shuuuuuuutttt upppppp.. dc
Need to get 1 of his programs to see max benefits though. I have AX1 and max size theyre great!
Because monetization
@Thor Odinson Yeah the advertisement is barely noticeable but what I just find it a bit naïve when there's always someone in the comments section wondering how those tips are free

No trees were hurt in the making of this video.
Well now I feel like I just had a heart-to-heart with Jeff. Probably due to the fact he said "the root system underneath is what matters." And now I'm crying .

Strength is killing your gains
No
If you’ve got shit form, nothing else will matter when you herniate your disk. So yeah, strength can kill your gains
@@ScantSphinx9 No, bad form is killing your gains... you said it yourself
Legend has it, Jeff Cavaliere created the infinity stones
Jeff, just wanted to thank you, a zillion times if you will. Couple of years ago I had a dislocated clavicle practicing Brazilian Jiu jitsu, my hobby or sport some might say, the two tendons holding the collar bone in place got overstretched due to a fall. After the accident I never thought I could train again, anything, as even doing push-ups would cause me discomfort and pain as I could feel my bones grinding inside my shoulder. I was unhappy until I started following you, in one of your videos you spoke about an exercise everyone should do everyday, which is using the resistance band from a Y position, underhand, to correct posture and that solved my problem. My shoulder now is in the right place and I can do any exercise without discomfort. I couldn’t tell enough how happy I am. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. You are the most knowledgeable, passionate, authentic and most importantly - caring coach/physical therapist that I have ever seen. Perhaps you could give some tips on strengthening the neck safely, as I’m 43 and was diagnosed with neck arthritis. Some say is manageable with exercises but I don’t know which ones to do. Anyway, you’re an exemplar human being. Thanks
We all know the real workout mistake is internally rotating your shoulders and not ending with facepulls.
*Thanks Jeff it's all I think about now!*
LYFElyne - Habits, Productivity, Motivation are face pulls that important or is it a meme? Haha I can’t tell
@@doodjenkins4038 yes and yes
Dood Jenkins they are amazing for the upper back you should definitely be doing them.
The real workout mistake is dumbbell flyes on a bench. And not doing facepulls.
Mobility, Stability, & Flexibility are extremely important! Please make more videos on improving mobility, stability, & flexibility.
I've always wanted to improve these, but the number of videos on this channel on these topics (especially related to specific areas) is tiny compared to other content. Please make more videos based on mobility, stability, and flexibility for different muscle groups. Also, please give details on what we can do. Also, please provide more information on this to your existing programs.
Also quit asking so much questions. Jeff is busy!
His latest program beasxt has some really nice mobility/flexibility work on your regen days and its great but i agree, it needs to be incorporated more into his other work for sure.
Yeah, there are some vids (stretching mostly) but I would love more on topic 😍
@@FinalHeresy Ya, the mobility stuff on the regen days on Beaxst are great. His Zen 10 warm up is also good. However, I have Max Size, Max Shred, and AX2 and none of this stuff is in any of those programs. I'm thinking I am going to have to add a Yoga routine to help with my mobility, flexibility, & stability.
He actually has a lot of information on these topics scattered throughout the channel, they just don't have their own videos, for the very reasons he highlights here. Just like they are at the core of strength and successful workouts - a lot of the videos he has about specific alternative exercises or fixing pain in given places is secretly mostly information about mobility and stability - stuff like his videos on ending workouts with facepulls is actually just all about shoulder mobility and stability for example.
Since you talked about the roots which are very important, will you make a video on how to improve you stability, mobility and flexibility? I mean stability is kinda controling your movement, but the 2 other need to be adressed and i do not know how. Some advice will help. Thank you for the videos and keep it up!
wow...I'm blown away that I can watch a video of yours...1, 2, 4 years old...whatever...and still take away valuable priceless information that directly and immediately improves my performance.
We're really fucking lucky to have you Jeff. Thank you so much mate.
Jeff Cavaliere,
Your attention to detail and willingness to dig DEEP is amazing. Thank you for your continual concern for your followers and telling us how it is. You’re the BEST!
Love when Jeff goes into lesson/whiteboard mode!
Just wanted to add that your overall whole approach to fitness as encompassing strength, hypertrophy, athleticism, injury prevention, health, and genuine scientific understanding and curiosity has been an inspiration for our own fitness careers and a model for how we put out our own content. Thanks for the continued high quality work!
Nailed it! It's amazing what you can accomplish when you take the steps to improve your mobility/flexibility/stability. Most guys don't realize the importance these play in overall strength and put them on the back burner. Great video Jeff!
The knowledge and the teachings... Jeff you are one of the greatest coaches of all time! This is no doubt one of the best videos you’ve ever made!! Thank you so much!!
This is exactly what I was calling out Enkiri for on his Athlean X is not a Strength Coach vid. “PT bias”....ffs. We’ve never met but your videos have been integral in me overcoming significant physical disabilities. Looking at strength training from an informed point of you building from stability mobility and flexibility has been a lifesaver for me so thanks.
C.T. Fletcher- "I COMMAND YOU TO GROW!"
Jeff Cavaliere- "Command your reps."
I really really appreciate this brutal honesty. Im a colligate middle distance runner ( lots of milage) . I looked pretty good , i had endurance for 16 mile long runs. A national qualifier. All of that to say, iv been out from being able to complete for 4 months because of some issues with my iliapsoas/ glute medius . We still have no idea whats going on. But i can promise that a lot of it has to do with my roots. Running 70 miles a week, i neverrrr worked on any of the roots Jeff is talking about. And now im literally trying to humble myself to start over.
KEN ANNE I never got anywhere near your level, think decent level club runner doing 5k to half marathons. Trained for a full marathon twice and both times got injured due to hip injuries that were some combination of glute medius/IT band/hip flexor etc. I can see now this was due to not taking care of the roots and just focusing on mileage. Hope you make a swift and full recovery. FWIW I found yoga, strength training and sports massage super useful
One of your best and most helpful videos ever - and that's saying a lot because they're all great! Even as a weight lifting newbie (and as a 58 years old grandma) it seemed so confusing ... strength vs hypertrophy ... now you've helped me understand the underlying roots. Thanks!
Lately I've been working more on my mobilitly and flexibility and it has really madw a big difference in my strenght training! Thank you for another great informational video! Always learning a lot from you.
Always love the completeness of the description, saves a lot of time! thanks Jeff, efficient in everything!
I've watched / agreed with many, hundreds, of Jeff Cavalier 's RUclips videos.
This one, simply, is the most profound. So well said. So on point. Perfectly passionate and persuasive.
I feel like I owe him money.
You give so much information, we can all learn from. Keep it going, I love to watch your videos!!
I see a lot of these types of misconceptions in the gym, especially during summer and the time leading up to it. Lots of people coming in and trying to lift heavy with poor technique and obvious with their lack of knowledge on how to get stronger.
im so sorry
Agree, though lifting heavy is very important and you should always try to test your limit every session, but it is reckless to go up in weight quickly when you're a beginner, since you never learn proper form this way and destroy your joints
Jeff I just want to say thank you man
Please do a video for people that work manual labor. Best time to workout? How often to workout? Intensity of workout? Calorie intake/nutrition? Full body workout, 1 muscle group, or splits? Etc. I do construction/home improvement and I'm having a difficult time achieving the body that I want. I'm close. I just need your help.
Thanks for all the great content. Jeff you are the best in the business! Please keep up the great work you're doing and I hope you can make a video for us who work manual labor and workout.
@@aaronpaul1
I do home improvement. So everyday is different as far as work goes. And it's tough for me, my body never gets "use" to it because it's always changing. Def energy or lack of it is my biggest problem. Esp since I'm trying to stay in a caloric deficit so my 6 pack will really pop and my stomach looks flat. But being in a caloric deficit kills my energy both at work and when I workout. Also with work duties changing from day to day it's difficult for me to get on a good workout schedule. I dont know if I would be better off working out before work, right after work, or a couple hours after work. What's your thoughts?
@@aaronpaul1
Thanks for all the info and advice. I think I'm going to try to start working out in the am. I may try not to be in such a deficit and just go back to more frequent small meals. Thanks again bud
Agreed. Proper alignment, too, is one of the roots.
6:45 I knew I was wasting my time putting a lacrosse ball up my ass before a heavy lift. Thanks Jeff!!
We laugh at it, but i bet someone some where is doing it at this very moment .
Lmfao🤣....teeheehee.....
Yoga 🧘♀️Is a great way to improve your roots. Don’t sleep on yoga 🧘♀️
Never that. I lift 5 days a week. On my "rest days" I do yoga. Sent my gains through the roof
True.
Agreed
Facts!
Bro science lmao
Didn’t find this out until I turned 40 and pulled my back. Being in bed for two weeks I swore I had a slipped disc . My physical therapist told me nope it was an imbalance in my hips . Hip muscles (especially gluteus med ) were not firing and I had a week core. As a gym rat , yogi and martial artist I thought that’s impossible I kick all the time and I can do 500 sit-ups no problem etc. She had me try multiple stability exercises and I could not do one properly. I could barely get 10 reps on the core exercises . She said I was weak underneath it all. I had flexibility, mobility but zero stability. Hence my huge respect for Physical therapy. She healed me without surgery or pain meds.
This is why I have a hard time doing anyone else workout programs. I always get injured and have to stop because I don't master the basics of body movement (Flexibility, Stability, Mobility). Everyone starts in a different place and you are one of the few who understands that and can break it down into steps everyone can follow. Thanks Jeff! You the GOAT
Haven't watched the video yet, but I just wanted to say that if I don't win next time, I am gonna ship a dozen carrot cakes to Athlean-X HQ.
It just got real
PrimusPilusVorenus lol, this made my day 😂
I'd rather stick with the carrots. We all know Jeff eats cake just once a year, when he celebrates his birthday in the gym, while doing a full back & biceps training session. Only one bite, tho.
Count me in, I'm sharing some bucks for that if I don't win as well
@@andrei-cosmin.popa85 im with Jeff on that one. I dont like cake and sweets that much. I do like burgers, pizza, fried chicken, and Chinese food though, which really is not healthy either , but you got to have some bad vices in life i guess.
Because of Jeff, I aspire to become a Physical Therapist :>
Same here 😁
I as well. 😆
Jeff nailed this on the head. Your strength is disturbed when your stability, mobility, or flexibility are disrupted in any way.
Look at any 4 legged table. Most tables have a flat foot cap under the legs of the table. Those caps are so thin you cant see it but they help prevent the bottom of the table from wearing out and scratch the floor. But if one cap is missing your stability is off a little thus leaving it off balance and the total capacity of weight (strength) the table can hold up is now jeopardized. Jeff your on point sir! Thank you sir.
Yes I'm sick of all those "Instagram coaches" who only speak of hypertrophy training. Im working towards becoming a physical therapist thanks to you Jeff. Keep inspiring 🙏
This is pure knowledge and common sense at the same time. Thanks Jeff for making intellectual exercise is as important as physical exercise!
I've been changing the way I workout lately because of your videos and this just solidifies it. Thanks for all your tips and explanations!
You're the greatest teacher I've ever had. I really mean that. Your demonstrations are concise and easy to understand at the same time.
This blows my mind.. I recently made some huge PR gains in my dead lift and squat but in the back of my head I never feel fully satisfied because I know my form lacks.. Thanks for bringing me ego back down to Earth Jeff. Back to foundation!
I really never been this early to a video
Ye me too
Me neither...
This early, still lost the giveaway. *Sigh.*
Not being early is killing your gains!!
You got an early mark today
I just thought of something amazing JEFF ON JOE ROGAN PODCAST
Why??
Somehow I don't think Jeff does weed.
Was so excited to hear what you had to say in this man, and I was happy to hear how adamant you were on these points!
If i had the bucks i would go for your suppliments! I am 59 and in giood shape! I've been following you for a long time ! I am from Canada and you have been helping me for a long time ! continue the good advices!
Silver Maple (left) - vs - Ash. Ash wood is stronger. Silver Maple is weak, branches break off frequently, etc., but Silver Maples are impossible to kill. If the whole thing falls over, branches will shoot up from the grounded trunk. Butcher an Ash back too hard, it dies. Butcher a S Maple back, it just bushes out more aggressively. So, which is stronger, Athlean-X, the Silver Maple, or the ash? Which, indeed.
I'm thinking the Ash. All of those roots at the surface on the Silver Maple indicate that it gets a lot of water from ground level (probably lawn sprinklers). The Ash had to send roots deeper to find water which would also add to its stability.
@@TorquemadaTwist Actually, some varieties of Ash do to tend to split out/fall over. The Silver Maple's a weed tree - you can't stop 'em. It is a water tree, though. I guess desertification would stop them. Ash might be stronger, SM's more resilient. Verdict: Acer Victoria
You have a ton of great videos Jeff, but this one is by far one of the greatest...Thanks for always keepin us in check...👍🙌💪
That was an excellent "No Bullshit" lesson taught right there. Jeff certainly knows his stuff
Just went to PT today! It's been said before, but the timing of these videos!!
I can't imagine how and why Jeff manages to give me an "Aha" moment in every video!!
As always very informative.. thanks team!
@ATHLEAN-X Jeff I'm a little drunk right now, but we love you man. You're more than a trainer to many of us, you're a teacher. And your principles are reaching us all the way in India so keep up the amazing work. Best wishes.
Jeff keep being the PT. You are the best RUclips fitness content creator. You speak truth and if i could afford a trainer you would be it.
Good day Jeff
This video was a true eye-opener, wow. I've always "known" that mobility, flexibility and stability are important, but not why. Well now I know, and I feel empowered and filled with enthusiasm. Also, the reason why your channel is so impressive and important to me is the level of knowledge, your capability and enthusiasm for transmitting that knowledge, and most importantly that make people realize that they should stop behaving like babies and start understand that they need to take control of their lives and habits and that what separated those that succeed from others is the level of commitment, nothing else (barring very unfortunate life circumstances).
I've for one behaved like a 41 year old youngster for too long a time, it's time to say bye bye to that kid and step up my game.
Have a great day

Could you do a video on how to improve stability across the whole body to improve strength
That's why I began with deadlifts with a friend. I don't really care much about body building, nor getting ripped, but I know my quality of life will improve tremendously if I can work on my posture. I want to try squats soon, and my goal is to be able to stand straight and feel that connection from the sole of my feet to the top of my head. They're obviously not the only things in doing to exercise, but they're the ones I care for the most.
Good, practical information Jeff! The human body and it's muscles aren't really is simple as many of us think they are.
Me back in the day: motivation, dedication, determination.
Now: mobility, flexibility...
Same here, after I did my shoulders in.
Thanks Jeff ! At 62 I'm probably in better shape than when I was 42 ! My problem is flexibility , primarily in hips and lower back! I've done yoga ( along with Kenpo and following Arthur Jones Nautilus Fitness philosophy and program) but I still lack flexibility, HELP !
Sorry fella there's no cure for age, even Jeff will find it hard to get it up when he's older... weights that is... no magical exercises for age!...😂
Honestly Jeff you’re a great teacher. You stress the key points. This is one of my favorite videos. You are an iceberg. It’s not about how Titanic you look but how well you stay afloat. Double thumbs 4U
Some very, very great tips and facts - it’s nice to see youtubers actually bring the attention to the things that matters and not just make a video about them telling everyone to do 5x5 because that’s the key to everything. Well done and keep up the great work man
I only do the bottom quarter of the ATG squat so I'm all stable.
Honestly jeff you inspired me to make the channel I have today and for that thank you my man🙏
Crew Aesthetics nice bro
even more important than that is the state of mind of how u are in space and time the motivation within u
I have been categorizing those three as my form and I have been focusing on it for the last year with all big lifts, I feel like explaining it as proper form and explaining it with the use of these three terms is going to be much more beneficial for personal trainers
My body changed after following a couple of your workout.
Thank you so much Jeff for inspiring me. There are definitely still more room to improve! Can't wait for your next video. ^.^
Actually buy his program on athleanX.com . It's awesome and it's very cheap for life. $79 or $99 for an extra add on. You do the program, reset it, and use it again ,OR buy another 1 and keep progressing. TRUST me,it'll be worth every cent. From the videos he has in each days program to the food menus, and pre and post workout shakes, it all changes your body for greatness. The community is also FANTASTIC. I'm 46 and it has fixed my weaknesses and I use to be all about pound and ground. Now I'm loving the lean and mean machine this program turns you into. Watched his videos for years and in 2013 I went all in,now I only look back to say ,THANK YOU GOD FOR JEFF CAVALIERE!!
@@necro699 I might give it a try. I got ripped asf by following him... I am losing 6kg in two months, of course my afford counts too... ^.^
@@chu9091 WOW!! That is awesome brother. If its working for you like this,Great!! If you want to see how he put the SCIENCE behind it,THEN buy the program. I got the program because I needed a new direction. I used to body build and was always bulking up. Now I'm older and want to shred and still be strong. I followed Jeff for years and then said..what the heck,lemme go for it. Changed my mind about being big ass hell. I'm looking forward to shredding and aging strongly. GOOD LUCK in your adventure and keep up the great work fam!!

@@kodiharvill bullshit
Love these videos ... the science behind everything. I'm a paramedic, in my 30s, not in a great shape nor one of those hitting the gym frequently, just enough to be able to do my job. Didn't want to admit it to myself but it was because I had an injury for which I had to work really hard to get thru to be able to become fit enough for my job. At one point it seemed like it couldn't be done and I wouldn't become a paramedic, but I made it. Never really "pushed" myself in workouts after that because as long as I was good enough to do my job, didn't want to push myself or get injured ever again cause now I have a family to think about as well. It's not like I wasn't really aware of some of these reasons Jeff goes thru from time to time, but usually trainers don't bother about these. I had been watching Jeff's videos for a while now and finally signed up for one of the program because I trust that it'll guide thru proper techniques and focusing on foundations more than just telling you to do some random workouts every time. I feel I trust him enough to push myself harder again thru his program. I'll get started on the program in a month or so and can't wait to continue improving, and more importantly, keeping me fit and less prone to injuries.
Thank you Jeff @Athlean-x
I found this video right implementing more hypertrophy and strength work to. build muscle. I've been struggling with plateaus and joint pain recently. I plan on working more on mobility and stability along with my workouts. Thank you!
Wish can talk to this guy bout my problems this gym thing pretty confusing tryna gain weight but also strength
Same. Its tough as fuck
What do you mean gain weight and also strength? Its not like you will gain 20 lbs and no strength
It really isn't. You need to throw around some heavy weight, progress over time and eat a lot of food. The majority of the population obsess over details whilst neglecting the fundamentals.
Keep it simple.
Am I the only guy who got uncomfortable watching the piece of paper that was sticking on the bottom of the board?
TheProsico Yes.
I was gonna say that!!!! That is, until I saw you had said it first, lol
From now on your my favorite biology teacher FOR EXERCISE
Very good Geoff. It's like a building you need a strong foundation that is stable in order to build up the floors and roof and walls.
How to improve mobility, stability, & flexibility!

Jeff is exactly correct, I can't even squat correctly because I sway from side to side in the hips and knees. Stability is key, and I lack it.
Been watching your videos for a while now . Thanks for always providing such good information for free!
Me: when should i do face pulls
Jeff: yes
i wonder how many people that win actually use the program they won
David Vetter-Steinberg I wonder if half the the people that watch these videos actually 1. do them 2. Implement in to there regimen 😂
@@James-303CO ha i keep book marking them and planning to but so far the only thing i do is face pulls after my workouts. kinda hoping ax1 just covers the rest
I’m doing it right now love it
David Vetter-Steinberg I got ax1 it’s bad ass and I’m gonna run through it again
I try to follow his advices. I stopped doing planks, I try to find his videos on all exercises I do so I can do them better.
Very nice video! BTW - I bought and followed the AX-1 program about a year ago, and have learned a lot from Jeff's videos too. I had a fun experience earlier this week on a business trip, some of the guys there wanted to workout in the morning and invited me to join them. I'm 55 years old and don't have the bulging biceps and look of these younger guys that invited me - but when it came to compound lifts and exercises that required stability, they started struggling. They were calling it "old man strength" - when you're struggling to move something up and some old guy just picks it up and carries it away :-)
This video has to be one of the most important ones I have ever seen on training - I did not really appreciate the "base" - thanks!
Jeff please make a few videos on hamstring injury recovery and prevention. Us football players and track runners struggle with that, even with strong glutes...
He just explained it in the video. Your foundation. Work on that as rehabilitation and every day to improve yourself.
Stretching stretching stretching and hydration
@@Keyurong bru im doing all that. Still having issues. My dad was a long jumper (real good one as well) and he pulled his left ham 6 (!!) Times within like 2 years (age 21-23). He was coached by professionals and did lots of stretching, flexibility work etc but still...
@@Kencio26 If you're getting injured, your foundation has cracks in it. Work on those 3 he pointed out. Do research on them. Do yourself the favor.

More simply put is that proper technique is important to learn first. Once that is learned, strength then becomes the most important.
