Pretty sure you pack more pounds in every workout aswell in a very limited timeframe. Any tips for us looking t speed up our workout but still make the gains?
Brother I LOVE your train of thought. You have the most rational approach to strength training out of all the coaches I follow and respect. Props to you sir. I appreciate your channel and learn a lot from you. If you spent about 20-30% more time editing your stuff, you’d be at 100k+ subscribers on here.
Im so glad i stumbled across your channel. Its legit steroids for strength and conditioning and simplifies it for the regular person. I've been banging my head against the wall for years, trying to train "specifically" for soccer. I was fortunate enough to train at an S&C gym until they decided to price fix in my area 😓 My main problem is managing load and finding that minimum effective dose to see improvements for myself. Last 2 years have torn calf grade 3 and now recovering from surgery from a torn meniscus (played 4 games over the time rip). Please keep up the great work sir. Much love ❤👍
At the end you said “this video has gone longer than I intended so I’ll just leave it there”. In the context of not going after this one argument for an especially long video I understand that, but if you wanted to do more medium-long form content on this channel we would appreciate that Will!
I love how Max said that swinging a baseball bat doesn’t help you hit a golf ball, yet Mike Trout can hit a golf ball a frickin mile out of the Top Golf range lol
Just recently ran into an video of "Renaissance Periodization" making fun of the personal trainer of Lebron James. It is one thing if some random self proclaimed expert can not tell the difference between skill, STS and basic capacity. But it's a different thing when the Lakers hire a "fitness guru" whos claim to fame is that he prepares actors and is a personal trainer for celebreties, MMA pros hire abolute amateurs for their S&C program. Some people in the S&C wirld just make sense. Henk Kraaijenhof does. Or Joel Jamison. That Will Ratell is not managing a million dollar budget strength and conditioning program in the NCAA is beyond me
Potentially but the videos would have to be on the right topics. People typically tune out of videos after about 60-75 seconds so like the shorter ones.
It just seems like he's not good at Coschin Oly lifts, which is ok lol And codching quarter squats in 2024 is just dangerous and ignorant at this point lol Good vid brother 🤝🏿
New to your channel. I've followed Schmarzo a bit lately and I think I like his content. I had a hard time following your rebuttal to his methods here, but I'm intrigued and would like to know more. The point about skill qualities versus physical qualities seems compelling, but are hinges that bias velocity over force not very effective? Are you saying that joint-angle specificity is overrated? S&C is not my field. I'm just an enthusiast trying to learn. Anyways, really enjoying your content.
Schmarzo is a bluffer who can only generate notoriety through clickbait content that goads and incites controversy. He has no fundamental grasp or understanding of physiology or biomechanics. Stay well away from content creators like him or else you will be forever mislead.
I always think of the Sartre quote on Anti-Semitism: "completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words... by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors." By just saying a bunch of words that convolutes any sort of meaning, they can say whatever they want, profit off it, and make people who are evidence based and read literature look foolish (and they make more money, generally). Who would not want to do that? Because ethically, they are convinced they are right, they do no wrong, and know that we have to prove them otherwise with the most carefully constructed arguments (which are always so well presented).
I honestly have no clue how Schmarzo has built the following he has. Dude puts out the most placid workouts/programming ever. You never seen one testimonial or client that he has helped improve or even himself for that matter. Dude has like 250k followers yet has very little engagement on his stuff, I never see anyone post about his Everyday Athlete subscription plan. Seems suspicious.
This guy has also recently been wrong about power and strength. I think he compared throwing with lifting in a way that didn't make any sense to me. Would be interesting to see a response. This man gets autoclout from having "science" in his name, which seems unjust because his posts are very casual in the verbiage used and not that scientific, unlike e.g. DataDrivenStrength.
Train the spectrum, it’s that simple. I’ve never seen a weightlifter than can’t jump. Hell, my vertical went from 21 inches to 34 inches by only doing the Olympic lifts. I’m not saying that everyone should do them, but they’re a tried and true method. This high pull bullshit doesn’t do what they promote it does. Simple works, it’s that easy.
So what is there exactly in-between lifting and skills training? Top ranked 12yo kids have insane tennis groundstrokes (all skill little strength I assume). Senior club players who don't lift are deteriorating rapidly with age (indicating how big general strength is), also imagine you were suddenly *weaker* - that's kinda unacceptable. Finally, tennis pros do a lot of tennis specific athletic training in those "better bodies tennis factory" videos. What gives?
Love ur channel don’t like u liking the pure hate comments tho I think you are better than that, you are correct in this video but I don’t think max has any ill intentions behind his content. The video was perfectly fine liking some of these comments wasn’t the best tho
Hey man I appreciate the feedback. I think your assessment of Max is incorrect though. He’s intellectually dishonest. Prior to making this video, I contacted him about having a debate (more than once actually) and he either ignores my offer or plays dumb by responding “debate about what?” And then I tell him a topic of debate he ignores me. He’s ideologically committed to many of his views that are based in false premises because he built platform on them and if he were to admit that he’s been providing bad information, his entire identity loses credibility.
When Will comes after you in the YT video, you know you're in trouble
Pound for pound you pack more value per minute of content than any other fitness content creator that I've seen. It's not even close. Keep doing you
Thanks man 🤝🤝
@@willratelle8027 yes, i am very appreciative
Could not have said it better.
Pretty sure you pack more pounds in every workout aswell in a very limited timeframe. Any tips for us looking t speed up our workout but still make the gains?
That dude sounds like he's just tryna cope with his weakness.
His entire page is a rationalization of why you shouldn’t lift heavy and squat to full depth. All under the guise of specificity.

Great points made in a concise manner… like always!
This reminds me of the conversation between Dr Mike and Rippetoe. Essentially strong is strong and can be transferred anywhere.
Legend
Thanks for making that

Thanks man. I might do some longer ones but they’d need to be on the right topics. I do like the 90-120 second length videos.
I love this. Schmarzo is conflating skill training with training physical qualities that help support skill training.
I love how Max said that swinging a baseball bat doesn’t help you hit a golf ball, yet Mike Trout can hit a golf ball a frickin mile out of the Top Golf range lol
The analogy he used isn't even relevant to the topic he is trying to debunk lol. Also, the "sport specific joint angle" argument has always irked me.
Lol
I've been thinking about this, would love to hear your thoughts, if you've made a video or something.
Great stuff as always 🤝
Thankyou
Quarter squats might make sense for sprinters in season. Christian mccaffrey’s trainer is pretty adamant about minimizing eccentric
Flimsy rationalizations - the “performance” coach’s specialty
Wow those high pulls are like Kyriakos Grizzly but without any of the weight
And wtf is that kettlebell knee attack thing?
And Grizzly can actually Snatch & Clean and Jerk...

Regarding the video beeing "too long". Are you planning on making medium to long videos in the future? I'd watch that for sure
Potentially but the videos would have to be on the right topics. People typically tune out of videos after about 60-75 seconds so like the shorter ones.
Love it

This (Schmarzo) is the same guy that posts every day how he does not like to train legs 😂

💯
I see here more value
Get rid of the little jump cuts and work on a more fluid style of communication. My $.02.
