Train like a powerlifter enjoy yourself

I sadly have to train like one because I am one 😢

Garage strength: stop lifting, like powerlifters Also garage strength: power snatches…. Me: ah so Olympic lifts 😂

Jump, sprint, lift heavy, lift fast, rest, eat, Drink, play sports, enjoy life.

That squat in the beginning with over a thousand lbs was pretty damn explosive. This makes no sense what he's talking about here

Powerlifting is literally creating massive amounts of explosive force to move weight quickly. They don’t “struggle to recruit quickly”

Train like a strongman!

no im a powerlifter i will continue to train like one thank you very much

Almost no one does Olympic lifting here. I stick out like a sore thumb!

I’m a weightlifter who’s dabbled in powerlifting, If you wanna squat bench and deadlift more, do lots of squat bench and deadlift. Don’t do Olympic lifts, the skill acquisition requirement for those lifts is insane, you will spend months drilling technique so you can get enough weight on the bar to make them useful. In those months you’ve spent doing technique drills, know what you could been doing? Adding kilos to your SBD and increasing proficiency in those lifts that you actually want to get good at! Weightlifting training is fun, and it’s an amazing skill to learn, but if you just wanna SBD, don’t bother learning Olympic lifts

I don't care about being a world-class athlete I just wanna be strong

Train like power lifters and doing high intensity workouts like cardio can make you a strong and more athletic 💪

Motor recruitment is literally part of real powerlifter training.

Olympic lifts are silly in benefit compared to risk and technique requirement

I train like a powerlifter because that’s my goal. But could incorporate some cleans and snatch. The numbers just don’t go up though lol on those lifts.

You have to build a foundation first with those major lifts before you can screw around with everything else.

Train powerlifting to help against depression

Mario rios would love this guy

As someone that isn't trying to be an athlete. Ill train how i want to. Thanks though.

No side effects powerlifting its best our body

Train for whatever goal you have.

Dudes defo on that TRT now

Ahahaha no the answer is no :)

Proceeds to train like an Olympic lifter

As a bodybuilder, I'm using powerlifter squat and deadlift technique since 2014 and that's great.

I personally combined powerlifting with weighted chin ups and explosive calisthenics

Step 1. Build a base by using foundational compound lifts (Squat, Deads, Bench, OHP) and playing sports regularly Step 2. Be kind of strong now and start to focus more on Sports specificity Step 3. Keep getting strong but add more and more sports specificity Step 4. Start to miss getting ridiculously big and strong. Step 5. Powerlifting becomes your sports specificity! Step 6. Realize you miss being athletic and get into strongman. Step 7. Profit.

Hey guys if you want to train line powerlifters, do it. We don't use impulses because we need to control the weight, it's a completely different discipline

That’s not impulse. Impulse, quite simply put, is how much total force was applied to change the velocity of an object and is seen as the amount of area underneath the force-time curve in a force-time graph. One way to increase impulse is to increase your RFD (the high speed movements discussed in the video) and increase your peak force production, but another way is to increase the time of force application (time under tension). This would be advantageous for certain positions in teams where they have to hold certain positions against opposition and to change the opposition’s rate of velocity to be counterproductive to their aim (I.e. the O-Line in Gridiron or the forwards in scrums for rugby). For these positions, powerlifting training would be beneficial for them. It’s all up to the aim of the athlete and their positional demands for their sport the style of training which is best

I’m 57 and I listen to my body, not an influencer on RU-vid.

Does training with Olympic lifts help with increasing the ratio of fast-twitch fibres for power sports that require it? Or are the changes mostly neurological?

I train like a power lifter and I am a fencer. Just train, it really doesn't matter how

Very true. Athletess should train like shotputters not powerlifters..

Meanwhile Calisthenics guys are just chilling while holding the earth

I don’t think in bjj we use power in every move..some moves are more isometric and some require slow strength..we literally use everything in mma.

Thats how a powerlifter trains Look at westside guys

Bro if u wanna be a power lifter traint like a power lifter

Is it recommended to expend novice strength gains first before going the explosivey, technical route ??

I personally hate training like an athlete. If I had the choice I would train like a powerlifter/bodybuilder instead.

Train for your goals.If you wanna get stronger and thats it then train like a powerlifter

😂😂 strength matters everywhere

That's why i walk before i run, Run before i sprint, then take a water break then go into my 5x5 workout, start low go high, finish my powerlifting workout. I do what i want!

But if I want to succeed at powerlifting, should I not train like a powerlifter? How will cleans and snatches help me - as in why pick on powerlifters specifically? I think we should just train for our goals. If you want to be athletic and stuff, maybe going all in on powerlifting isn't the best idea. Vice versa, if you want to succeed at powerlifting, train the movements you'd be expected to perform at a meet

To maximise speed and power your training needs to address both sides of the force velocity curve during training blocks. High weight low rep resistance training is the best way to increase one’s ability to produce maximal force (I.e the force side of the curve) and the other exercises he recommend are great for improving one’s rate of force production I.e (the velocity side of the curve). Both are required to optimise power.

NOBODY TALKS ABOUT HOW HE CUT THE END TO CREATE AN INFINITE LOOP WHEN THE VIDEO RESTART !?

This is like those dorky shoes they promised would make you jump higher.

If you didn't know, alot of powerlifters already do this on their warmup sets and secondary days.

There are a lot of people saying that powerlifters can't do x, don't be a powerlifter. That's fucking stupid, do whatever you want to do. I bet most Olympic weightlifters can't do an ultra marathon, but who cares?

I see you got too injured to lift what you could and leaned out and done bb or CrossFit type stuff like all us older powerlifters. 👍👍

Powerlifting is not the same thing as strength training. It's like comparing tennis to baseball just because the both swing at balls. It's not the same.

powerlifters for the love of god stop training like powerlifters

Train like a power lifter after you have established glute dominance from doing plyometrics and isometrics.

Looking leaner Dane! Beast

Powerlifters are taught to be explosive with the competition lifts already through all the warmups leading to the top set

You think they can't lift a lighter weight more quickly?! 😂

Powerlifting is not about speed since they lift weights that test their maximal strength. Although there is a fast impulse frequency in the motor unit recruitment which is a result of spesific training. Not some some jumpy bumpy stuff.

Says impulse uses the exact definition for power #charlatan

Training the speed urself I'm training the strength

Aside the bullshit that is colossal. Olympic lifts are very very technically difficult. You can't just pick a barbell and start doing them 😑

*me watching this video as a powerlifter*

The caveat here being if you want to improve your athleticism.

By impulse he means impact on your joints

Train like an athlete❌ Train like a lifter✅

This is great advice for building strength and conditioning workouts for athletes in most sports, but what if I'm training to be a powerlifter? 🤔

They are the best at their sport and still look sick.

F**k it I am strong and I will train like strongman

Explosiveness is work in Judo and Wrestling

One thing to ask yourself is why am I training like an athlete in a sport I don’t play? Train for longevity train hard yes but keep that meat machine healthy!

Just because a given load is observed as moving slowly doesn't indicate the sheer violence of force being applied to the load to make it move.

Train like a powerlifter

Power is genetically a gift. We cant train the svj. Power inly increases as a buy product of strength. This is why we all cant be nfl athletes

A powerlifter can't win a weightlifting compitition but a weightlifter can win a powerlifting compitition so ....

I am trying to lift 200kg in deadlift. So I keep training like powerlifters.

Hmmm what about west side barbell and the conjugate method

Your benefits is for athlete's and there benefits is to be strong so all you said here was train for what you do 😂😅 got it

I could never get into the Olympic style training, not my thing.

Or you could use accomodating resistance on the bar and lift explosively, and incorporate jumping. The Olympic lifts have a steep learing curve and not necessary.

Powerlifters also train like this

No, I do want to train like a powerlifter

Didn’t know squatting 1000 pounds uses slow recruitment

Noone tries to max out slow. It is slow because it's maximal effort, not because they are slow to recruit. I garuntee a person who can squat 800 will throw 400 faster than a person who can only squat 450. You just need pylometrics, sprints and heavy weights. Everything else is fluff. Just lift heavy, do your jumps, do your sprints, and train your sport. That's it. No more, certainly no less. Sport specific training is a myth. Your in the gym to get strong not to lift sport specific. You want sport specific? Do your sport.

Nah dawg since I found out about powerlifting even if I want to my subconscious mind won't let me go back to that bodybuilding bs I just love to slam them weights

Good points

I do a little bit of both

Why would your average Joe need to run faster and jump higher? Those are athletic specific movements. He just wants to look good.

The weight moves slowly because it is heavy

Powerlifting is good if u mix it up with calisthenics

I am thinking of training like one cuz I love big lifts 😂😂😂😂. Also. I'm starting the 5x5 program

I’m gonna have to pass on this one champ

Train like each kind of lifter at different times of the year

Doesn't make sense. Powerlifting with high intensity trains effective recruitment of muscle fibers. You basically need it to be able to max out on a lift. And a lot of powerlifters do speed rep training too. The reason powerlifters don't look explosive when you see them is that they are moving high percentage of max weights, which is never fast. Is it for everyone? No. But muscle fiber recruitment is probably not the right argument.

Don’t tell me what to do

Absolutely correct. Burst!

Omg sach me 4RABT pe betting ka maza hi kuch aur hai, IPL me bhi maine choti prize jeeti thi, ab t20 worldcup ka intezaar hai

But thats already how power lifters train. Everything you said is how they train 😅

Jumping over hurdles is more fun than powerlifting.

Do both MF!

And then there is this guy selling bull . Train like a powerlifter if you want to be a powerlifter. And there are all kinds of different ways to train ‘like a powerlifter’. Some of them are explosive as sh*t.

Powerlifting gives me the sadz
