00:00:00.880 Greetings, true friends. Today I want to elaborate on why powerlifting isn't enough for optimal glory and aesthetics.
00:00:09.280 First of all, I would like to answer a commonly asked question and that is why I don't make that many training videos anymore.
00:00:16.600 And that's basically two answers to that question.
00:00:20.560 First of all, you can just watch my videos here like the amount of views they get.
00:00:24.940 My training videos do not get particularly many views, which leads me to the conclusion that they are not as interesting as my other videos.
00:00:32.300 Hence, I do not make as many of them, even though I still like making them.
00:00:37.420 And training is obviously a very important part.
00:00:41.160 And then the second answer to the question is that with the political situation in America and in Europe, it is hard to just, you know, focus on training.
00:00:51.360 Like, yes, training is a huge part of the Meta-Political Crusade.
00:00:54.940 But there are more important topics that I need to discuss also.
00:01:00.160 So that it's hard for me to just, you know, keep focus on training when there's so much other stuff going on.
00:01:06.120 I just can't keep quiet about those more important things.
00:01:09.880 Now, on to the topic at hand.
00:01:11.900 Powerlifting is not enough.
00:01:13.500 Realize this, I love powerlifting.
00:01:15.040 I love benching, deadlifting and squats.
00:01:17.600 And I think they should be at the core of all healthy training schedules.
00:01:23.240 So, like, you have a good base.
00:01:25.000 But they are only the base.
00:01:27.480 So, to take an example in MMA, for example, you have, like, a good boxing base or a wrestling base.
00:01:33.560 But that is just a base and it's part of your whole package, as it were.
00:01:38.460 So, powerlifting, same thing for optimal aesthetics and strength.
00:01:41.940 You don't really take into account the, you know, the arms because arms are important.
00:01:48.860 You know, you get a lot of criticism if you train a lot of arms.
00:01:54.000 But, you know, for a guy, for a man, for a human, it's important to have good grip strength and arm strength.
00:01:59.860 So, you know, don't forget your rows, your weighted chins, etc.
00:02:04.020 And then the overhead pressing movements, like, you don't really do them in powerlifting.
00:02:08.880 So, for a good, you know, stable base to stand upon in your training, yes, the three main exercises.
00:02:15.200 But also some sort of row, some sort of weighted chins and some sort of overhead press.
00:02:19.780 And there you have your base.
00:02:21.440 So, that is the full base.
00:02:22.600 And then also, do not neglect the complementary exercises.
00:02:27.480 So, if you neglect to train your rear delts, you will be in a world of trouble later on.
00:02:31.960 If you just keep benching, you know, we'll get these rotated shoulders.
00:02:36.440 You have to train up those rear delts.
00:02:39.320 And just, you know, to keep a symmetric and aesthetic physique, you need to train all parts of the body.
00:02:46.240 And also, when you talk about range of motion, when you only bench, if you bridge up like this and then,
00:02:51.500 and that's, you know, that little range of motion, you can complement that with dumbbell press.
00:02:57.600 So, if you really, really go down deep there and go up.
00:03:01.340 So, view powerlifting.
00:03:05.480 View the three main compound movements as three out of five, you know, in your base.
00:03:12.060 But then you also have to build upon that base.
00:03:14.100 And the example in MMA is obviously you have a good base of wrestling and boxing, for example.
00:03:19.740 But that is not enough.
00:03:20.680 You have to build and complement to that as well.
00:03:24.000 So, I hope that makes sense at least.
00:03:26.520 So, to conclude, view powerlifting as your base, but do not neglect all the exercises.
00:03:33.260 And then also, do not stare yourself blind at getting a one rep max that is really high.
00:03:38.380 You can get, you can utilize the bench press, for example, in, you know, the higher rep ranges of eight to twelve to great success.
00:03:45.120 So, it's, you know, basic compound movements, but you're not limiting yourself to the lower rep ranges.
00:03:50.960 I hope that brought you some experience points.
