Yes. The description part is good. I love it. So now when someone in. A non weightlifting gym asks why I do some.of those. I can explain it even better. Thank you for the hard work on these vids🙏
4:19 Chinese lifters using partial squats to train for real squats. Meanwhile, we got ego body builders doing partial squats thinking they're doing real squats.
Maybe because of the deeper range of motion. And maybe because the inversion is a little more relaxing on the spine and the blood rushing into your shoulders and joints helps with recovery?
hsp?*edit nvm i think i figured what u were asking. i don't think there is acutally a specific reason. they are pretty similar and differences are minor. i think its more to do with equipment availability/practicality. u could just do it in a corner not taking up space.its like sure u CAN curl in the squat rack, but if u can do it some other way and have pretty similar results then y hog the equipment? like the lu raises could very well just be dumbbell lat raises all the way up and doesn't make much of a difference, but they don't have dumbbells lying around so just use plates. could also be like a mix of practicality/psychology. someone does it because its practical, and every1 just do it even when there is free equipment/space because their idols did it
For a new professional in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu do you personally think I should just stick to 4 sets of 20 reps with bodybuilding exercises or consider switching to olympic weightlifting to supplement my performance? Everyone in the sport that is high level does high reps of pure bodybuilding exercises like bench (which is what chinese weightlifters avoid compred to bodybuilders) Do you think olympic weightlifting approach would be best for me? I’m 6’0 and 184lbs going up to 210lbs muscle in the future. I feel like olympic weightlifting would be so much more functional to supplement with. - Good videos as always, I always love em.
0:47 in what universe is this "plates turning inward"? Aren't the palms supposed to be facing the inside/ the head during internal rotation or do I have a false understanding of the internal rotation? The palms turning to face each other: internal rotation, the palms facing away in opposite directions: external rotation isn't that it?
Interesting, on the Lu raises I'm not seeing much internal rotation though. I wouldn't recommend internal rotation when pressing, or catching the bar in the lifts because external rotation is a stable position, or "breaking the bar"
Ironically, no professional weightlifters would recommend external rotation when catching the bars or any kind of overhead press. Internal rotation is the key to stabilise the bar overhead, and one must work on it. It's only bad when you neglect it. Most people just jump into the complex lifts not knowing their mobility capacity, which professional weightlifters always focus in any time of their training sessions.
@@living4adrenaline You don't believe me, fine. But you can go and find any of the professional athletes, institutes, sport universities or even the famous Olympic athletes, to directly ask them what they would say about this. You're right regarding the hip, but the shoulder's joints don't have anything to do with that. Because of its biomechanics, internal rotation naturally happens when we fully extend the arm overhead and hold weights on it. But not excessive internal rotation, of course. If you have time, watch this /watch?v=gjPCsBl6b2s, the guy did you a favour with the question.
In summary then: You need top steroids, top genetics and top work rate. Genetics is out of your control. For a top work rate, you will need determination, perseverance and a strong will. For same shit, contact Chinese Govt and request access to the drugs they develop and administer to their athletes.
