Resumen

TLDRThe video discusses why most people should stop traditional weightlifting if their primary goal is to achieve a sculpted body. While lifting weights is crucial for specific athletes like powerlifters or those needing strength for specific sports, it's not necessary for those aiming for aesthetic goals like muscle definition and shape. Instead, emphasis should be placed on bodybuilding techniques that focus on muscle contractions and stretching to stimulate hypertrophy. The speaker recommends using resistance bands instead of weights, as they enforce proper form and muscle engagement. These bands force the user to focus on the muscle contraction and stretch due to the lack of momentum, offering more effective exercise. Additionally, the speaker offers a workout program and suggests checking out their free content online to learn more about using resistance bands.

Cronología

  • 00:00:00 - 00:08:26

    The speaker emphasizes that the majority of people should stop lifting weights unless they fall into a small category, such as athletes who need strength for specific movements or powerlifters focused on lifting heavy weights for competitions. For most people wanting to improve their body's appearance, bodybuilding is recommended over weightlifting. Bodybuilding focuses on building an aesthetically pleasing physique by contracting muscles against resistance, stimulating muscle growth without necessarily using heavy weights. The speaker highlights the importance of effective muscle contraction over merely lifting heavy weights, suggesting that resistance bands are more effective than traditional weights for many exercises. This approach ensures proper form and muscle engagement, resulting in better sculpting and muscle soreness. The speaker offers additional resources and a workout program to guide those interested in bodybuilding over weightlifting.

  • 00:00:00
    stop lifting weights let me be a little
  • 00:00:02
    bit clearer
  • 00:00:03
    if you want a body like this
  • 00:00:07
    you need to stop lifting weights right
  • 00:00:09
    now by the end of this video I'm going
  • 00:00:12
    to convince you that lifting weights is
  • 00:00:14
    a waste of your time hi I'm this one
  • 00:00:17
    Dave where I put the technique in your
  • 00:00:19
    physique now I'm not saying that nobody
  • 00:00:22
    should be lifting weights but about 95
  • 00:00:25
    percent of you should not be lifting
  • 00:00:27
    weights so that only leaves five percent
  • 00:00:29
    of you that should be lifting weights so
  • 00:00:31
    let's talk about that five percent these
  • 00:00:33
    are the people that should be lifting
  • 00:00:34
    weights if you're an athlete that
  • 00:00:36
    requires a skill set for strength and a
  • 00:00:39
    direct movement if you are a power
  • 00:00:42
    lifter and you're trying to get as much
  • 00:00:45
    weight up as possible numbers matter to
  • 00:00:47
    you then you are those few people that
  • 00:00:51
    should be lifting weights let's talk
  • 00:00:52
    about what a weight lifter is a weight
  • 00:00:55
    lifter grabs weight mostly heavy weight
  • 00:00:58
    and they're going from point A to point
  • 00:01:01
    B and every time they go into the gym
  • 00:01:05
    they're trying to be able to Ink
  • 00:01:07
    increase that weight now weight lifter
  • 00:01:09
    has these attributes numbers matter to
  • 00:01:13
    them being the strongest matters to them
  • 00:01:16
    being able to use a certain skill of a
  • 00:01:20
    direct movement matters take a look at
  • 00:01:23
    this if you're a person who plays
  • 00:01:26
    football
  • 00:01:27
    your offensive lineman or a defensive
  • 00:01:30
    lineman the motion that you need all the
  • 00:01:33
    time is to push off you're pushing a
  • 00:01:37
    body away from you strength and that
  • 00:01:39
    direct movement matters so with that
  • 00:01:42
    lifting weights like the bench press is
  • 00:01:46
    very important to you it's not that the
  • 00:01:48
    bench press doesn't work it's important
  • 00:01:51
    for that type of athlete with a power
  • 00:01:54
    lifter if you're competing in
  • 00:01:56
    competition there's certain competitions
  • 00:01:59
    where the numbers matter how much you
  • 00:02:02
    lift in order to win that competition
  • 00:02:04
    you're a person who absolutely needs to
  • 00:02:07
    lift weights but now let's get to the 95
  • 00:02:10
    of people who aren't doing that most
  • 00:02:12
    people when they're leaving comments or
  • 00:02:15
    they want me to train them they want
  • 00:02:16
    their body to look good if that is your
  • 00:02:19
    goal don't wait list what you want to do
  • 00:02:22
    is body build and I know what you're
  • 00:02:25
    thinking you're not saying you're not
  • 00:02:27
    trying to be a bodybuilder you're not
  • 00:02:29
    trying to be Arnold Schwarzenegger maybe
  • 00:02:31
    you are but what you want to do is learn
  • 00:02:34
    how to body build focus on those words
  • 00:02:38
    body
  • 00:02:39
    build don't think bodybuilder just think
  • 00:02:42
    you want to build your body to look
  • 00:02:45
    aesthetically good you want that
  • 00:02:47
    definition you want those biceps to peek
  • 00:02:49
    yep you want that chest to pop out you
  • 00:02:52
    want those quads to show in those shorts
  • 00:02:54
    all of that is required is going to be
  • 00:02:57
    bodybuilding and when your body building
  • 00:03:00
    you have to do certain things in order
  • 00:03:03
    to make sure you get those results if
  • 00:03:06
    you're still confused what that means go
  • 00:03:09
    ahead and check out this video of a
  • 00:03:11
    world champion bodybuilder the primary
  • 00:03:14
    goal here is not to lift weights you're
  • 00:03:16
    not a weight lifter I'll never be a
  • 00:03:17
    weightlifter and for people out there
  • 00:03:19
    that don't know what a weight lifter and
  • 00:03:21
    a bodybuilder what's the difference I'm
  • 00:03:22
    going to explain it to you a bodybuilder
  • 00:03:24
    is primarily concerned with contracting
  • 00:03:27
    his muscles he contracts his muscles
  • 00:03:29
    against greater and greater amounts of
  • 00:03:31
    resistance by doing that he's able to
  • 00:03:33
    stimulate hypertrophy and make his
  • 00:03:35
    muscles grow a weight lifter is just
  • 00:03:38
    concerned about moving weight can boast
  • 00:03:40
    to you about how much he curls how much
  • 00:03:42
    he benches it's really not important to
  • 00:03:44
    me primarily what's important to me is
  • 00:03:47
    being able to make my muscles contract
  • 00:03:49
    efficiently I'm going to get a stretch
  • 00:03:52
    and a contraction and I'm going to be in
  • 00:03:54
    control of it throughout the entire
  • 00:03:56
    range of motion does that make sense now
  • 00:03:58
    let's talk about the things that he said
  • 00:03:59
    our goal is to make sure we have the
  • 00:04:02
    most amount of stretch and the most
  • 00:04:04
    amount of contraction in a muscle
  • 00:04:06
    stretch and contraction and every day we
  • 00:04:10
    work out what we're trying to do is get
  • 00:04:13
    the most effective contraction as
  • 00:04:16
    possible now when your weight lifting
  • 00:04:18
    you're just trying to get it up there by
  • 00:04:20
    any means necessary but when your body
  • 00:04:22
    building if you're sculpting your body
  • 00:04:24
    like a work of art what you want to do
  • 00:04:27
    is make sure that you're feeling the
  • 00:04:30
    contraction as you're doing those bicep
  • 00:04:33
    curls when you're doing your chest when
  • 00:04:36
    you're doing cable flies you're feeling
  • 00:04:39
    the contract action all the way back and
  • 00:04:42
    all the way forward you're feeling that
  • 00:04:44
    throughout the entire exercise every
  • 00:04:47
    time you work out you're thinking about
  • 00:04:50
    how can I train and contract my muscles
  • 00:04:53
    the most efficient way possible that's
  • 00:04:56
    what we want so a lot of you will be
  • 00:04:58
    surprised that a lot of bodybuilders
  • 00:05:01
    really don't lift that heavy I know
  • 00:05:04
    you've seen it in magazines but that's
  • 00:05:06
    for the magazines but sometimes very
  • 00:05:09
    light resistance is required in order to
  • 00:05:12
    achieve really good contraction in the
  • 00:05:15
    muscles now this other part if you're
  • 00:05:17
    asking well how do I do that well let me
  • 00:05:20
    let you know that there's a lot of
  • 00:05:22
    things that you're doing right now that
  • 00:05:24
    are wrong when it comes to weights for
  • 00:05:27
    one if you're using a lot of momentum if
  • 00:05:30
    you're hoisting weight up for like bicep
  • 00:05:33
    curls or other exercises you're not
  • 00:05:35
    using the most efficient way of
  • 00:05:38
    Contracting the those muscles if you're
  • 00:05:41
    bench pressing and you're just letting
  • 00:05:42
    the bar come down on your chest you're
  • 00:05:45
    not taking advantage of the nice stretch
  • 00:05:48
    you get on the way down that makes it
  • 00:05:50
    more efficient now if you're listening
  • 00:05:52
    to this and you're saying I hear you but
  • 00:05:55
    how can I start this right now what do I
  • 00:05:57
    need to be doing you sold me on
  • 00:05:59
    bodybuilding versus weight lifting what
  • 00:06:02
    should I do right now well you can do it
  • 00:06:04
    right here in your home and I'm gonna
  • 00:06:06
    tell you that this is one of the best
  • 00:06:09
    tools when it comes to sculpting your
  • 00:06:12
    body and getting that body that you want
  • 00:06:14
    what I highly recommend is using
  • 00:06:18
    resistance bands hear me out when you're
  • 00:06:21
    using a resistance band let's use that
  • 00:06:23
    example of using that momentum as you're
  • 00:06:25
    swinging up those bicep curls try to
  • 00:06:28
    swing up some resistance bands when
  • 00:06:30
    they're attached to a door anchor you
  • 00:06:32
    won't be able to jerk that band up it's
  • 00:06:36
    going to force you to keep your body
  • 00:06:39
    stable and come up and only focus on the
  • 00:06:43
    bicep now the second part on the way
  • 00:06:45
    down it's up to you you want to make
  • 00:06:46
    sure you slowly go down no matter what
  • 00:06:49
    you're doing you want to feel it in both
  • 00:06:51
    Direction stretch and contraction are
  • 00:06:55
    the key to you getting the body that you
  • 00:06:58
    want now this is also true for majority
  • 00:07:01
    of resistance band exercises it forces
  • 00:07:04
    your body to use correct form I was one
  • 00:07:07
    of those weight lifters for so long but
  • 00:07:10
    until I switched to resistance bands it
  • 00:07:13
    showed me that this is a more effective
  • 00:07:15
    way I found myself getting more
  • 00:07:18
    attention and more sore the next day
  • 00:07:20
    when I was using resistance bands
  • 00:07:22
    overweights now this can be a bit of a
  • 00:07:25
    transition when it comes to using
  • 00:07:27
    resistance bands so that's why I develop
