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
