Dynamic Effort (DE)/Speed Work, Powerlifting and Bodybuilding 

Can listen to this guy all day

This channel is way too underrated on yt, needs to be a mainstream fitness channel.

His voice is like rain on a warm summer evening. I could listen to it allday err day.

I have no idea about this channel AND I'm new 'round these parts. ERIC, make more videos please. Then I'll send you my list of topics to address and we'll all be happy! Word. Okay, keep up the good efforts here.

I think that the biggest reason why DE works in because you get more overall reps in given time period which produces more efficient lift because you develop lift patterns better.

Great video Eric, always love to learn from you.

solid

you should cover how the range of motion of a short guy affects major lifts compared to a taller person

Maybe, If you don't change the diet at all, same training program, hormons levels. What i was saying is humans are more complicated than a machine than generates a force so speed is just a little factor in adding force to your performance, diet/frequency/ hormones/ sleep/ mood/ supplements can significantly change how much power we have, small factors like speed will definitely increase endurance which will increase force a little but not in an equation like this.

A big chunk of "training systems" out on the net were meant to target athletes with a high work load capacity. Doesn't really matter if you're "enhanced" or not. The programs can almost always be "tweaked" to ensure proper recovery.

great stuff! subbed

I think you can't apply physics equations to complex things like human beings, you can apply it to the bar (mass) and its velocity but you cant really measure "Force" by that equation and apply it to human benching force for example.

So what do you think about the speed work on layne norton's PHAT program? If you don't believe in it then what would you replace it with?

Yes you can. Ask every physicist/engineer on that matter...

Thank you, i really enjoyed this. I was wondering then what is the most effective way to build strength? reps? sets? and doing progressive set? and trying to hit a PR's every time? Thanks

This. Also, what kind of frequency would this work out for and how would one incorporate it? ie if someone wants to get their bench up, having a heavy session of 3-5 sets of 3-5 reps, followed by 10 sets of speed reps later on in the week?

If i do 1 rep at 85% for my speedwork, how many sets would you say is good? Like 10-12 sets? Great video as always.

Why does Layne Norton include speed work in his PHAT routine?

is there a relevant relationship between "speed work" and work involving "accommodating resistance" in regard to the critiques mentioned?

Eric studying for a CPT thoughts on the NASM? think its a good well rounded cert

I do them before my main heavy sets and I'm still pretty much as strong.

mark bell has said in a video that most guys don't lift heavy enough to worry about dynamic effort work. take a guy who bench 300 lbs 50 % of that is 150 lbs for lets say for bench day. what the hell is he gonna move fast LOL. this is used for experienced lifters and when they get to a point that it is needed to break plateaus.

So something like 8x1 at 80% 1rm with 45 seconds rest is appropriate?

Team3dmj and smittydiesel best fitness channels

How many singles (at 75-80%) would you advise ? 6 ? 12 ?

thanks based eric

I didnt say the calculations made would be extremely accurate. But then again they dont have to to be a useful tool.

bottom line - to quote Louie Simmons: "you can't move heavy weight slowly." So I think you missed the point of speed work when applied to powerlifting

What?.....where's portrait mode.....wut.

and wendler 5/3/1 rulez!!!!

you are literally supporting Simmon's / West Side Barbell principles while making up some oddball science to refute it.

First

finally... landscape.. lmao
