@@michaelvay8610 the one you’re talking about did. Now it’s labeled “Ben’s original” and the once proud face of the black rice guru has been removed from the face of the carton. Nothing says “I’m fight racial inequality” like removing melanated faces from grocery store shelves. I wonder when caucasians are gonna get pissed off about Lucky Charms, Captain Crunch, The Vikings, The Celtics, Elmer Fudd, basically every sitcom with an ignorant white male protagonist and demand their caricatures be relegated to iniquity. We have collectively lost our damn minds as a society when a black man can’t smile on a rice box. On second thought, maybe it was removed because old white women ran out of the house screaming and called the cops when they opened their pantry and saw a black man’s face.

@@Rippa_tha_Reapa there's something called quick glances... apparently you've never heard of them. Let me explain some brain biochemistry to you. Your brain loves to simplify things unless, you are learning something new. Reading sentences is something, that is subconscious in our brains so when you read a short sentence, you will typically skim it or just read it so fast. That's what happened here with me. I read the sentence quickly and when I got to the word fearless, my brain simplified it to fatherless before I even realized due to having a quick glance of the word fearless and making an error in deciphering it as fatherless.
@@yoeyyoey8937I agree. You look like a scammer when you constantly steal other peoples content and not give them credit. These people have worked hard to get where they are but some people are hollow and do not have the integrity to give respect to others in their profession.
Stability, concentration, max effort, full body coordination, with more added onto it for targeting an entire muscle group. Clearly it’s something to learn more for better mastery of the muscle. That’s fantastic
@@Wagtan378 if it is a goal you want to aim at, it can be for you. Basically this idea would help you build the muscle to have better control and mind to muscle concentration. It is beneficial either way you want it to be implemented
Jesus Christ saved my life he can save yours to. No body is perfect except Jesus Christ. So he was the perfect sacrifice for the world and he became that sacrifice. So that we can be perfect in God’s eyes all we need to do is. Repent from our sinful wicked ways and surrender our life’s to him. Jesus Christ. Repent meaning acknowledge and forsake your sins. Know you have sinned and know you are not good in God’s eyes. Forsake meaning as in try your absolute best to not sin. We have to be clean and filled with the Holy Spirit. Jesus Christ said we must be born again to enter The Kingdom of Heaven. God bless you all. I love you all may you all find Jesus Christ as your Lord Savior . God bless brothas and sisters ❤❤!

He seems like the most humble professional in the world. The way that he speaks to his client is like hes trying to boost the confidence of him at the same time make sure he understands the effectiveness of the unique training.
I live how the student is so focused on the bar saying I can do more, but his instructor reminds him to take a step back to receive more clear instructions before continuing.
That tattoo design he has on his back is interesting because I've only seen that design in prison, its usually hand drawn and obviously each artist does their own twist
I was stalled for an entire year and didn't know what to do so I did everything! only variations ultra wide, weighted and explosive wouldn't over fatigue the muscle of course, low volume, high intensity and after adding 3 plates for 6 reps, doing ultra wide for 8 reps and doing explosives to the sternum for 5 reps, my normal pull ups are smooth and I reached 25
Op, add weight, more than you can pull up with, then get assist to get up to your chest on the bar, then hold and slowly lower the weight. You can always hold more than you can lift, and you can aleays lower more than you can hold. Work those negative reps to get thru your sticking point till it results in you being able to do more reps/weight
@@expectopatronum3668I’ve plateau’d even with weight. I can do 5 with a 25 plate, then drop set and finish out with 2-3 more unweighted. I also fatigue after the first set and the numbers practically cut in half by 2nd or 3rd set. I’m thinking of doing more power, more sets, fewer reps. Not to the extreme of a power lifter obviously, but maybe 4-5 powerful reps, 5-6 sets.
@@Man-u-flex lmao, how insecure do you have to be to say something like this. Dude spends his whole day scared to death of everything around him. Comes to RU-vid to blow off some steam lol
Dr. McGill was a young professor of mine at the University of Waterloo in 1987. Little did I know that he would become a legend in his field. He often told a joke before the teaching started.
@@juanbonilla1006you can take as long as you want lol. don’t get ridiculous tho but seriously. this guy isn’t saying anything new or crazy at all. he’s just giving him a good schedule to train on. your back really can only take being trained a couple days a week. but literally the more you add on the more you can do. it’s literally that easy. i started out being able to do 3 and now i’m up to 20. i did 1,000 in 6 days. that was extreme but i wanted to see if i could. haven’t done anything to that extreme since then. but yeah. super easy and FUN to train once you can throw yourself around like you weigh nothing
@@lachlanbrown409 uninformed take. You never did CrossFit seriously and don't understand the point of metcon. CF didn't get it all right, but it made a major contribution to fitness, and provides and excellent approach and education for many. Plus a great community, at least when I was involved 10+ years ago.
Yes. He’s adopted a more measured, wisened, sit-back-and-chuckle-at-life cadence to his speaking, from his stoicly sound, forcefully concise guidances. Too many mouth reps, not enough rest.
For those who don’t know, it is called Greasing the groove and it works for most or even all forms of bodyweight training. The trick is to do about half (or less) of your max reps, all depending on goals of course, and doing it over a long period of time. Some days you do 5 sets of 2 or 3, other days 8 sets of 2, the idea is not to really keep track of it but to do them throughout the day, whenever having long period of rests (hours in between) the sets. The neuromuscular connection will deepen and activating the muscles necessary for the exercise will become second nature. This method requires consistency and patience though. Don’t try to track it just do sets throughout the day, if one day you’ve done less than others doesn’t matter, it’s about consistently doing it for weeks, months, and even years. If the exercise is something you do on a specific day (i.e pull-ups on back day) it is better to reprogram your rep scheme on those training days or to do a different exercise for that muscle group as you continue to grease the groove daily.
I remember Pavel Tsatsouline saying something about this, death-gripping the bar to better activate your back muscles. He talked about doing it towards the end of a conventional set though, to squeeze out a few more reps. Like, start doing your reps normally, then when you start getting tired you squeeze the bar as hard as you can. McGill's method sounds pretty interesting
I imagine the theory goes as follows and is pretty simple. Strength is largely neurological. Limiting reps means you limit fatigue. Which means you can crank out a ton of high quality reps producing as much force as possible. The grip being max effort and max effort explosive concentric is training your motor units to fire more efficiently and synchronized. Once you have those two things established, it's simply repetition that makes you better. You'll get stronger when you perform more reps that actually stimulate increased strength. Duh. Conventional bodybuilding training doesn't give you many of these stimulating reps.
I keep a hard squeeze for pull ups and curls I want Popeye forearms For curls it activates the brachialis more to grip the dumbells hard throughout the movement, and flex triceps at the bottom of the rep too
@@Npc1488-wc1kf That must be why my forearms in my 20s were so huge. Hammer curls were my favorite, and i still have callased skin under each digit from how hard i always gripped the bar. Getting back into it now after 8 years--still have the callases lol. Get that golfball sized muscle on the upper forearm/elbow when you flex. Forearms are underrated too. Women like them a lot, especially with long sleeves rolled up, etc.
I think that's what brought my pull ups up big time. At any time during the day, I'd go over to my pull up tower and do a clean all the way up and down pull up. Not with any Kipping but with controlled power.
I'm not a powerlifter by any means, but I applied this method to my pull ups and the power increase over the last 2 weeks is noticable!! I'm wondering if I can also apply this to other exercises??!?!?
Probably! Half the body is fast twitch muscles but they seem really neglected with slow heavy movements among bodybuilders. Also that lobster claw grip works like a charm to overactivate the forearms when you hang from a bar, so you don't slip off as easily.
For years I was doing 10 - 15 sets of 2. At a certain point you get so powerful the pullups are to the nipple. This exercise was key to being able to do one arm pullups as well.
I used to be able to do 3 sets of 20 pull-ups, the first 10 I'd hold a 45 with my ankles, drop it, and finish the set. I was very proud of my chin-ups. I had a big back injury from a motocross accident, I've worked hard at it but I've never been able to get anywhere close to that lvl of back strength since. I'm really glad I saw this video, it makes a lot of sense. I'm starting this today.
i had a accident as well almost lost my leg shit fkn sucks being consistent with stretching staying in motion!!! your body can no longer jst be chilling life is motion always moving forward! being still will kill you! consistent diet of herbs veg fruit in balance with lil meat you can uptake more nutrients folic & humic can boost the intake always read learn new shalawam...
That mall is gonna be secure af Edit: thanks for the likes guys. Never had 2.5k likes lol Edit: gotta edit again for all the twatwaffles that get in their feelings cuz I thanked people for their likes. I don't care if you don't like it. You don't have to
I remember one day I was pissed off with something in life, I had pure anger in my heart. So I started doing pull ups each set until failure, started with 20, then 15. Each set was 10 reps in average. Total of 200 on that day. I had never done more than 20 or 30 in my life and that never happened again. It’s all in our heads guys, it’s all in our heads.
Ppl sometimes sleep on those singles. You can do that for any workout/really get volume of sets in. Like how the Doctor said focus on giving that max effort once. It will definitely translate into more efficient/proper reps down the road. Very good advice!
Between being a paratrooper with 80+ jumps, two resulting in hospitalizations.,two car accidents, two back surgeries.,i am a wreck trying to piece myself back together.
Just found a tree nearby my home and started doing pull ups on it. I think this is great advice. Im pretty heavy so doing more than 5 reps of pullups was pretty hard. I think i realised my problem
I just came here for the epic mustache, but got so much more. I've seen Dr. McGill work with large sampling sizes to get his results and they are consistent. ...plus the mustache is great.
This is amazing! As a large human I always struggled with chin ups and always saw them as a failure because I couldn't pump out 10 chin. This guy is a great teacher!
As a youf I had a partner We would hold each others feet and spot each other We started with negatives, cuz fat And we also did chest to bar, not just chin near or almost Beginning like that with a spotter was gr8, I was I had one now
