That little kid (2nd one) scares the begeezus out of me. I keep waiting for that weight that's being bounced off of his chest to crush in his small, undeveloped ribcage. The 3rd video with the "cheat curls" might as well be a one arm hang clean with terrible form. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueviper42 Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 i like this one. if he's only working a certain range of movement then that's alright...that's similar to what a lot of people do for armwrestling training to work short range movements with heavy weight.

AdamTGlass Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 No suprise, most HS strength coaches are weak de-conditioned and have poor lifting experience. it is interesting to me how many people i know graduate HS with some kind of injury relating to Football. I have to ask myself, is it the game or the training? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingsrule92 Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 Boy's I've got you all beat Vid 3 is just a classic for so many reasons. Couple questions: Were they using a 1" Bar? Because that's what it looked like. WTF? Since when is the coach supposed to guide their form? WOW I thought my form was imperfect but just wow.

G-Man Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 Here are some good ones, both by Nate...yeah, THAT Nate (for those that know who I'm talking about ) Why are you knocking Nate? I seriously doubt you can do ANY of the things he posted on his page. How many 17-year olds can cheat curl within 17-pounds of their bodyweight with one arm? I wouldn't be surprised if he's the only one. What I have found is most of Nate's critics are morons when they post their own lifting stuff - boring, non-newsworthy crap you see at the gym every day.

Magnus Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 (edited) Why are you knocking Nate? You mean I even have to explain why? Good grief, watch his 205lb cheat curl. He's basically playing limbo with the barbell. Then, I go on to read and hear him claim that he does it with 270lb. Now, what the heck is he doing adding another 65lb more to a weight that's already way to much? And how ugly is that one? I seriously doubt you can do ANY of the things he posted on his page. Just for kicks, I tried the 165lb Barbell curl. I did it with the same form, except I controlled my negative. So yeah, I can. And I've been lifting for about 1/3 of the time he has, so it goes to show that you can make good strength gains without using horrible form. And I'm sure there are LOTS of other guys my age who are way stronger than me. How many 17-year olds can cheat curl within 17-pounds of their bodyweight with one arm? I wouldn't be surprised if he's the only one. Not a cheat curl, it's jerking a weight up, pulling the elbows back, ducking under it, bending over backwards, then letting the weight drop straight down with no negative, while hanging off of a power rack. What I have found is most of Nate's critics are morons when they post their own lifting stuff - boring, non-newsworthy crap you see at the gym every day. Well I won't deny that, but I hope I wasn't meant to take that personally. Edited November 2, 2008 by Magnus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Natural Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 I stopped caring about the form of others long ago. Once you see dozens of 600+ deadlifters use a rounded back, without ever having an injury, you come to question conventional wisdom about form. There's a lot of loser-mentality involved in much of the form criticism. "Yeah that's a good weight but that form was horrible!". Yeah, well. He lifts more than you and he never gets hurt. Deal with it. -Rex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueviper42 Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 Well, I think it gets down to what you are training for. The guy doing preacherpad partials with 4 plates or whatever, if he is doing them for curls or calling them curls, that is incorrect. If he is doing them for partials to work for something like AW, then that would be alright. But these are two very different things. A partial curl should not be called a curl, they aren't even done for the same reasons. Some people have different training goals and train for different movements.

He told me he'd seen a vid where someone spots a powerclean and he finally found it and sent it. I wouldn't have believed it if I didn't see it.

If I was in complete control of reality, I'd collect the personal information of all those who leave such comments, and use that information to determine who lives and who dies when resources become scarce in the near future. Leave a YouTube complaint about someone's form and a black van shows up in front of your house. -Rex Edited November 3, 2008 by The Natural Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone one of them says "its not low enough" --the judges showed 3 white lights... It's a fine line. Many organizations have long sold out any credibility they had. Pretty much everything aside from IPF is so rediculous that it stopped being powerlifting. Soon we will have a walkout with 1500 considered a legit squat. Is that a lot of weight? sure is...but that's not a squat...and I dont need to match the strength feat to be able to point it out... With that said....the people doing curls with horrible form are missing several things: #1 definition of a test of strength (usually a compound lift..) #2 full range of motion #3 some agreed upon form #4 risks of injury Also how do you know those with horrible form never get hurt? Many of them do and you never find out about it. They simply disappear. Lifting with bad form is like gambling, sure you are not guaranteed to get injured but the probability goes through the roof...and with ever increasing weight...form becomes crucial...
