this has been the most difficult exercise for me to engage my core on, and your video has made it a breeze! perfect cm direction, i revisit it often as i begin my banded dead bugs
This "reversal strength" (for Olympic lifters) does require "eccentric strength" (force absorption). This is one of the reasons for their very high vertical jumps. The greater the ability to "absorb" (resist) force the greater the ability to produce force. This is what the depth jump(reversal strength) and the "altitude drop" (eccentric strength) require (and develop). Of course, this is most productive and safe when you have a "base" of eccentric and isometric strength. One "Caveat"- You don't want to destroy your "stretch reflex"!
@@omardiangeloarteaga4875 loui Simmons knows far more about weightlifting (a sport he doesn't even have interest in anymore) then you could ever dream of having. His methods might be a bit weird at times and the culture at his gym is not something I like to associate with, but you cannot deny he produces the best of the best athletes with his methods.
OLYMPIC WEIGHTLIFTING IS THE REAL DEAL...POWERLIFTING IS SOME BULLSHIT.... ONLY ZYDRUNAS SAVICKAS AKA THE STRONGEST MAN WHO EVER LIVED! BIG Z IS THE BEST!
Hang variations are done to develop the pull under and "catch", but also bar path depending on how low the hang is. Stretch reflex is understood, but developing it is not the purpose. Unless Louie is saying a weightlifter takes advantage of stretch reflex to pull under and catch weights that are heavier than they can lift from the floor. Which is the case for some, especially if legs are long.
Constructive criticism, you have good information, but the delivery of the information needs a bit of work. I mean this in the most positive way, try to stop saying "uh...ummm" I know in my communication class in college they forced us to record ourselves and try to be unbiased as we critiqued our own presentations. It made me realize I was doing the same thing. I would recommend writing down the information you want to say, focus on the main points, and try to avoid words like "like, umm, uhh" and other filler words that you may use. Like I said, trying to be constructive not negative. Good information, keep up the videos.
I was 19 when I first tried Westside Barbell. But honestly, for me it's nothing for a longrun but there are things you can carry over to your own programming.
As a trainer, I've pointed people toward Louie's videos a number of times, and without fail they come back and tell me they couldn't even understand the points he was conveying. I just find it humorous...he does speak very technical stuff.
davidsirmons pointing them towards specific articles on the westside website would be way more understandable, plus his book of methods (which is more understandable if one has read a good amount of articles and has a basic idea of how the westside conjugate system works)
Wow, these interviewer guys need to get their act together. Stammering and "uhh.....mmh" is really telling of how ill-prepared the questions are, or worse, how ill-prepared the interviewers are for the technical answers given.
These guys interviewing Louie are NCAA strength and conditioning coaches, they're not television or radio professionals. Their questions were legit and they let Louie talk as much as he wanted. I'm sure you would've done a much better job, right? Because you "get" Louie? Because Louie is speaking Greek and these guys don't understand him, right?
Johnathan. Aviles the size of the neck basically states that he knows what he's talking about. 20 to 30 years ago, every American football player trained their neck until it was wide like Lou's. Nowadays, it seems that every week, some new football star has a concussion. Although concussions occur in the skull, some studies show that a stronger neck provides support for the rest of the skull. The neck connects the head to the rest of the body. The two most venerable points of the spine is the lower and the upper most ends, in other words, the neck and lower back. That's cause the neck and lower back has no other bones to help support, feel your body for yourself. The upper and mid back have support from the rib cage but the neck and lower back have support from the muscles, which are a lot weaker than bones. Louie said before he trains his back, abs, and neck very often because of the before mentioned reason, they support the weak points of the human body. So why would you not train these muscles if they safeguard the most weak points of the human body?
thank you so much for this. My wife and I are both Masters athletes. our coaches have done an awesome job at programming for us and helping us develop our skills. My wife now has the US National record for the snatch and total and also hold the records for all three snatch, clean and jerk, and total for the Masters World Cup. As masters we have also gotten our son and Niece into Olympic Weightlifting and both have made it to Youth Nationals. We also help coach and are know as the "gym mom and dad" and do evrything we can for our "adopted gym kids". This video really helps to validate what we do for our gym. A waste of time? I would say thats a BIG NEGATIVE!
This video made my year!! As a master's athlete who competes and has been told how masters competitions don't matter and don't count I am glad to hear someone appreciates our division. Its not my fault I didn't hear about Weightlifting until later in life and I love it!
