Dropping knowledge per usual, thanks Marcellus!

[mohammadsalah]

Marvelous video as always, non-negotiable 💪💪💪

[petermiller]

Hey Marcellus, really good video loaded with lots of good information, as always.

One of my biggest pet peeves is when people try to discredit good lifts based on relative strength lol. Thanks for this video!

I also think low end objective numbers are actually reasonable for damn near anyone to hit minus extreme cases. I’ve never once had a male client both in my times as a PT and as a coach who couldn’t bench 225 or squat 315 for instance. This is why every coefficient used for strength standardization scales for bodyweight. It’s just so much harder to hit a 3x bodyweight squat above the median weight classes than it is to do it below it. Also bro, what PR should the kids at home aim for on calf raises to get calves like you? Little jimmy in high school wants calves like theswolefessor ... jk don’t ever make that vid, don’t no body want your calves

Hey swole !I Used to Train Every muscle 3 Times a Week different Volume rpe and my nutirtion was on point! I was Tired all the Time no gainz !! Now i do a 4 day split feel fresh and got gainz!! Kinobody does 225 lbs bench for 28 reps lifting 3 Times per Week only With low bodyfat .... he is extremly strong and natural.... and he is not a powerlifter But stronger then u for example

I am doing your beginner fullbody program but was just wondering how it compares to icf 5x5 and what are the pros/cons since my main goal is to gain muscle.

[alirazak]

Hi swole i do legs day twice in my upper body
Firsf leg day i do squats and accessories
And second leg day i do front squats and accessories

I do 3x5 for both, but my question is can i swap front squat for deadlift

[jakesimmonds]

Problem with pound for pound is it benefits short people

[ewakadcan]

So Im really lost on something maybe u can help me. I can easily strict standing Press 135 for 10 clean reps with chest touch and lockout. No leg drive nothing. But I can only bench 225 for 3 reps. Even though I spent like no time on training the press but I spent like 5x more time on benching with good form. This is really unproportional. I have no idea what Im doing wrong lol. Im 6'1 225.

[camerongormley]

strict ohp probably being the hardest lift too add weight too, if you add 10kg/22lb too that lift, that will be significant shoulder gains?

[alirazak]

One more question swole, am i better off training ppl x2 if my upper body is lagging. I currently follow upper lower split strength and my lower body strength is intermediate but my upper is novice

[ciarandavies]

What split would be ideal for a rugby player

[zimbabwe-wziw]

nevermind, I'm 5 seconds behind. Well I'm still second.

Strength comes with muscle growth, but muscle growth doesnt come with strength.. at least that's how it's been for me

Basically what I'm saying is I havent seen significant gains until I began doing alot of isolation exercises.. Heavy benching never grew my chest, but dips and db flys did
