Every claim below is a statement made in this recording, quoted word for word and linked to the second it was said, so you can hear it rather than take our word for it. The wording comes from the transcript published alongside the recording; the sentence above each quote is our reading of the claim, not their wording.
Their wordsIf you're trying to get stronger here, then there's one thing that you should be looking for out of this exercise, and that is efficiency. In other words, when you're doing this exercise, you should not be caring about how to isolate the chest from the triceps, from the shoulders. You want them all to work in concert
Their wordswhen we're talking about building bigger muscles, which is the subject of this video here, you want to actually do the opposite. You want to try to find ways that you can be inefficient. In other words, find new ways to challenge your muscles so that they are forced to have to come back and grow bigger and stronger.
Our reading
A lighter weight done with harder technique can challenge a muscle without always lifting heavier.
Their wordsThe benefit is that you don't always have to lift super heavy weights to get things to work.
Our reading
A very heavy set done on momentum puts little effort into the muscle it is meant to build.
Their wordsThat was all momentum. That was not a muscle you were trying to build there. That was momentum. And momentum dictated that there really wasn't a lot of muscular effort going on
Their wordsdon't let people tell you that you can only build strength in, let's say, the three, four, five rep range. If you started out doing 10 of this weight that you had here, and then you could do 11, and then you can do 12, and you can do 13, you're increasing your strength.
Their wordsyou want to train for both strength and hypertrophy. And you do want to explore these higher and lower rep ranges because they're both going to matter as long as you know how to apply them.
