I have a question about 1 of ur tips. Wat about if my motor controls r so bad that no matter the weight, even with no weight, I can’t keep such a steady and smooth looking movement like wat u performed multiple times in the vid? And I’m asking this bcuz I can’t do these movements so nicely and controlled even at 20% 1rm. Wat do I do when I’m unable to control my arms so well when my arms r independent? Shud I just not worry and do my best?
Brother you are the best hilariously funny but also very knowledgeable in the way you explain all the movements and the proper way to do things I'm so glad I found you on RU-vid I just recently got back into the gym I had some emotional situations with the breakup of my wife I went from 240lb to 179lb basically 9 weeks now I'm back up to 205lb and I've followed your videos since I've gotten back into the gym that very helpful I really appreciate you brother keep doing the great work that you do teaching and giving so much knowledge we all appreciate you brother
I ruptured L4-L5 disc last Thursday mishandling a dumbbell. Been training for 8 years without an injury always being careful to protect myself. It can happen to anyone, be careful out there yall, looking at a long road to recovery but I'll bounce back, Thank you for the content Jonni.
@@JT-of6of if it's bothering you, see a physical therapist first. A large % of people have disc bulges that are either painless or can be remedied through non-invasive means. I recommend researching through the Bob and Brad youtube channel, they have hundred of videos on the topic, good luck
@@JT-of6of you would need an MRI. I wish I would have got one sooner. Had a herniated disc that has given me problems for 10+ years in my neck from wrestling. Doctors said I was fine. Only found out this after I herniated another disc in jui jitsu directly below the first(this was also a month after I recovered from knee surgery). They wanted to give me a fusion or a disc replacement at 30 years old. Luckily, as the below comment states, a good physical therapist is the way to go. Had a dude from my gym get me a second opinion and believed I could work through it. It’s been almost a year and I went from not being able to feel my fingers or lift my arm over my head and writhing in pain every day to now almost no pain unless I laugh cough or sneeze and it’s getting better every day and my original neck pain of 10+ years is gone. Able to hit the gym hard every day and be active again. A good physical therapist is highly highly underrated. Please do yourself a favor and see one before crazy stuff like surgery.
I've improved greatly watching your vids, brings up your confidence massively not only knowing your gains but doing it properly. Keep up the great work dude! Thanks! 👍
This ended up being exactly what I wanted. ru-vid.comUgkxP26Tir6n60vUkdtn4mbwhRO8cwuJQNy2 I get the flexibility of multiple dumbbells without taking up the space of a whole set. I have a very small spare room that these and a bench fit perfectly into. Like others mentioned the size of these are a little bigger/longer than traditional weights so they aren’t the perfect solution for everyone. However, if you're looking for a flexible and space saving design for a home workout I’d recommend these.
oh man ,that first scene, loooool more serious, protect your back any time. just had surgery fro hernia L5 S1. still recovering,starting physiotherapy soon. pick up your weight cleanly,do your workout engaging your core. stay safe all. thank you Jonni for your job.
Just discovered this channel, and at first thought this guy is just riding and click baiting on the popularity of others like AthleanX but then realised that Jonni has rock solid no BS advice and is entertaining too. Great content and I'm glad to have found this channel. Subscribed!
Hey Jonni thanks for all you do. I learn a lot from you! I have a request - its not exciting but i feel like nobody ever talks about proper breathing techniques. Especially with dead lifts and other compound lifts. Really appreciate your hard work though!
Hey Jonni I'm a new subscriber to your channel and I got to say man I'm grateful that I found you I've been training for 6 years now and after watching a lot of your content I've noticed I've been doing a lot of things incorrectly and wondering why I've been having joint pains watching your content help me correct my form and a lot of exercises that I do so I thank you... Blessings 🙏🏾
@@JonniShreve also some people say when doing standing cable flys if your suppose to retract your scaps the whole time even while pressing or is that only retracting the scaps for bench pressing only?
Watching your videos improved my workouts greatly turned out I was sucked up into this strength training rabbit hole so deep that I forgot about quality of the reps and sets thanks again
I just found you about a month ago, you have great videos. I have good form on all of my lifts...but you make it easy for newer people getting into lifting to lift properly. keep those vids coming!!!
Jonni you are one of the only ones out there that has videos focusing on the right form and showing and explaining in better explanations and detail how to do the exercises and I think that it's freaking awesome. I lifted for about 15 years until a spinal disability forced me to stop a few years ago but I still enjoy watching other ppl lift and I learn something new every time I watch you so thank you for what you do. You are helping a lot of ppl
So I'm very new to lifting and had no idea that crimp walking was bad, I thought I'd get more blood flow through out my set so that's what I did 😂😂😂. Glad this video was out there!
Hey Jonn, you have an amazing talent. Not only great phisique, but also, very important,ability to deliver the exact needed! Appreciate your dedication and class. Respect from Russia, wish you growth and best of luck in all the work!
Big part of why I love watching your vids is that you have fun while bringing us good valuable information to do it right. Thx Jonni for all the knowledge you share, much appreciated.
Hey Johnni, thanks voor the video! I have a question about the form. At 5:23 your arms are in an angle that look like a V (if that makes sense). I saw someone else say that your are should be in an L shape so there's more tension on the chest. Is that true? Or should I stick to your form?
Love the videos man can you do a video about working out while dealing with depression. I know for a lot of people working out helps bit been working out for a while now and find myself losing motivation due to outside influences and could use some motivation thanks my G.
Hi Jonni! Thanks for such cool videos. My question is in regards to the "the not stacking the joints" part. Unrelated but feel that it might be related to positioning. Whenever I did the exercise I felt something off because started to have some wrist pain. Made me wonder is there is also a rule or caution on how to grab or place the dumbbell in your hand or things to notice while you do the lift. It only happened on one side. Don't know if I am just being an idiot with the dumbbell. But any tips will be appreciated. Thanks!
Great stuff man 💪🏿 most stuff you saying I been doing for yrs without research sometimes it’s just common sense n feels better on my joints n muscles watching vids like this reassure I know what I’m doing
Just watched this video yesterday and gave a try to what he said in this morning workout. Tbh it helped a lot with my chest/shoulder press. Great tips for gym beginners:)
Jonni, you totally busted me. I'm always dong the feet tapping thing (towards the end of my set) when incline dumbbell pressing. I'll get a friend to play some corny music when they see my feet not planted.
I just don’t understand.. why Other fitness RU-vidrs.. don’t make these kinds of videos with LEGITIMATE QUALITY INFORMATION AND TECHNIQUE ADVICE! This is why Jonni is the best, he teaches you how to do it right, stays out of drama, and doesn’t preach bs
U are so cool,l like watching the tips quite helpful and actually following the instructions get the great benefit from it,I did it and it’s worked good. Thanks to Jonni💪💪💪
Adding the “clanging and banging” noises on those rubber dumbbells was more than worth a like on this video lol never mind all the amazing information you give. I just got home from doing doing dumbbell press and now I can’t wait to do them again so I can incorporate some of these tips.
I'm putting these into my chest routine as the there's only 2 smith bench press machines at my planet fitness and they're always busy. Thanks for the amazing tips as always!
May I ask a question for lower chest workout? Besides doing Dips and cable fly is there any other? I don't feel effectiveness when doing on a decline bench, Seat up decline chest machines, nor doing "A-frame" decline bench dumbbells' press. I can't feel it. I tried Vertical up, decline it lower, and also went higher for angle. I find it vertical the better choice, but in overall effectiveness, still the Cable. Dips second. Thanks...
I'm not paid by Spot Grips... But I do use Spot Grips for my Dumbbell presses and Overhead shoulder press. They are worth the price, and I'm gone from 40 dbs for 8 reps to 135 pound dumbbells for 5 reps (as of tuesday) in about 1 year 2 months. 150 pound dumbbells for working sets of 5 might be in the cards come Christmas? Basically I waste zero energy other then actually carrying my dumbbells and putting them in the spot grips one at a time.... Then I can get settled at my own pace and it's all business with no worries about injury... I can push to failure every time (although my brother is usually there to assist me with the final rep), without fears of dumping or wrenching anything . And my dumbbell press is just about as good as my bench... Probably cause i've been able to train it so hard? My best BAR bench thus far is 285 for 5 reps (With the Kabuki Kadillac Bar). Incidentally I add an acute shoulder tear DB benching due to failure when I got to about 70lb for 12 reps... Which caused me to buy the spot grips... Not a single injury since then, and my shoulders never felt better.
So what if you can't kick the weight back with your legs. Not cuz on being to heavy. More a medical reason? Myself I have to do a hammer curl swing up.
Hi Johnni , thank's for the video :) Do you agree during dumbell press that we've to push full verticaly and not closing the dumbell together, because there are less/no tension? The thing is,s it's not that simple to push that way with elbows tucked in
This might be stupid, but did your client blow out his gargage and get more space? During covid I dont remember his gym being that big. Either that or he moved and this is the new layout. Because of you and him I got an INSPIRE FT2 and absolutely love it! My thought process was if this IFBB pro get get most of his workouts done on this machine during lockdown, then it'll be fine for my amateur behind! Thanks for all the motivation and I'm looking forward to the answer because it's been driving me nuts. Also since you have been doing garage workouts does this mean Canada is on another lockdown? SOrry if it is?
Ok I appreciate how concise and informative these videos are but I'm not going to lie...the intro in and of itself deserves 10k likes and subscribers 😂😂😂💀💀💀
For some reason, I am not engaging my left peck while doing these. I can feel it in the right peck, but not the left. Are my traps kicking in? How do I engage that left peck? Any advice would be great.
