Training to be in the strongest 5% of the population

In this episode I find out how long it will take me to bench press my own bodyweight, pullup 1.5 x my bodyweight and deadlift twice my bodyweight. At the time of filming I weighed 70 kg (154 lbs). Apparently this puts you in the top 5% of the population in terms of strength. I'm not sure about that, but deadlifts sure are hard!
Filmed at Block10 in Dundee.

    I hate these tests as a tall man 😂 I’m 6ft5 so I’m a heavier guy, 95kg. But bench and squat is therefore much more difficult because of my arm and leg span. There’s a reason powerlifters aren’t typically 6ft+ Unless they are strongman which is primarily other events.

    Why people believe that a lower tier guy can't beat a high tear guy. This game has thousands of moves...you make one mistake and game goes into a more favorable position or not. You constantly get feedback of the moves etc. You can't predict what your opponent is going to do maybe 5, 6 moves into future. So STFU Niemann didn't cheat.

    You don't need to Faraday cage the whole tournament. Just the players. And it probably doesn't have to be a complete cage. Just having walls would probably be enough, so long as they were tall enough to prevent enough diffraction around the barrier.

  • @violet3142
    @violet3142 2 дні тому

    Your deadlift form is pretty good. It looks like you could activate your glutes and posterior chain a bit more, but overall it's decent since you are still able to keep your back straight. Much better than some of the super heavy deadlift videos I've seen on the internet. And I actually think your form actually improved a bit at the higher weights. It wouldn't hurt to try and get your stance slightly wider to keep your shins perpendicular to the floor and avoid varus forces (outward forces on the knee). It looks like your knees want to push out when you are lifting. Pretty good overall though. Shin scrapes are actually a good sign that you are lifting correctly and not swinging the bar forward or leaning forward. What a weight belt does it essentially compresses your core. Pressure in your torso created by muscle tension and air pressure is a factor in being able to keep your core "tight" and your back straight during a deadlift, so the belt creates that pressure for you and reduces the amount of pressure you need to create yourself. I personally believe that you should avoid using a belt unless you are pushing for a PR, because it can actually create a weakness in your core if you get used to relying on the belt, and it looks like that is how you used it so that's good. Also I'm not a fan of your pull up form. You're not going up far enough or down far enough each rep. But as long as you're happy with it that's what matters. :)

    I'm 44. It's taken me 9 months to do a 140kg deadlift and that level of bench. Would be nowhere near that weighted pull ups. I've had that exact frustration around 130kg and taking a week off and then smashing it. In terms of a strength type gym I don't feel that strong. You forget what your average person would lift. I'm currently trying for 150kg before the year. That will feel like a big milestone.
