This basically describes humans. Each and every one is going to be different with regard to strength and hypertrophy potential. This is why you shouldn’t compare and just train intensely. Do the controllable. The rest will take care of itself.
Interesting, thanks Jay. I think grip strength (in the case of the climber Magnus vs. Larry Wheels) has some benefit. If the grip part is easier for him, it might help him recruit more bicep and lat musculature.
Since strength is a skill, and because of good leverages, if you practice lifting heavy all the time you will be be very strong but maybe not necessarily have a lot of muscular mass. That’s why I say after intermediate stage of building muscle strength and size don’t seem to correlate as much. Cause you can be really strong on a specific lift cause you been doing it for so long but don’t seem to have the muscle to back it up cause that specific lift requires skill.
Hey Jay. Could you make a video on overlapping? I find that there is not a lot of information online about this topic coming from HIT experts like your self.
Yeah some guys can do one-arm pullups for reps. Similar to curling your whole bodyweight... for reps! Personally, most days I still can't even do one regular(two-armed) pullup. I read once that true strength comes from the tendons(reason for crazy grip strength?). Something I noticed with myself though was that when I stopped cracking my knuckles, my grip strength skyrocketed(maybe coincidence). I used to have incredibly weak grip strength back in the day(could barely play racket sports or armwrestle), and now it's higher than the guys around me, with basically no training to get there(including vs. regular lifters, who are regularly gripping bars). Some claim that grip strength is a great overall indicator of strength, but I don't agree with that. My regular overall strength is likely average at best. Feels like I got a lot of fast twitch fibres though, being able to throw a golf ball easily 90+ metres(basically 300 feet, tested at an archery range, rugby field and athletics field). It was a ball that said 'max 90m distance' on it though so it's possible another ball would go even further. Sprinting fast has always been really easy as well, without training. However, lifting weights has not been one of my 'strengths', weirdly enough. Never even got past 60kg in the benchpress, despite being ~188cm tall and ~105kg. Interesting stuff anyways.
Boyer was a seasoned bodybuilder, deep into his genetic potential and enhancements. HD training are the rapid way to hit that limit, compared to what became to be traditional training styles.
So there is a way to build strength without building muscles? What?? So why we do hit then??? If muscles are not evolutionary efficient why we dont do this way?
@@fightpoiskthose "strength" training only increases your bench press, squats and deadlifts. They require strength, but it's mostly technical skills and you have to do them more frequently to keep and improve the neurological adaptations. You can't isolate strength. Those 3 lifts are still great for demonstrating strength, but they're innacurate since they require technical skills. We should use equipments that require the least skills, which are machines.
@@fightpoisk Any training where you apply progressive overload will allow you to gain strength. HIT is just a safe and efficient way to do it, which does not have a high technical requirement, so it makes it simpler.
