Hey guys. So I used to post down here and then found my coach and began working in the strength training industry. Been coaching for numerous years now and recently came back to Malaysia. Opening a gym soon. Currently waiting for the building to be built. We're going to focusing on getting people more flexible, structurally balanced and stronger. In the mean time, I figured I could help out with some strength questions. About technique, programming, etc.
Here's a vid of me doing some squats.



Just trying to help out and discuss different training ideas. But no, I wouldn't know how to increase your bicep size. I would just say "Train in different angles, tempos, intensities, rest periods, try different apparatuses"

Cheerios!

Support~ Are you mainly on powerlifting.

I ended my first bulking, knowing strength is my biggest problem that hinder overall results. It kinda surprised me at first when I lift even heavier now as I'm cutting and low on carbs most of time, as comparing to bulking.

Strength leads gains. I have to improve it at all time. Then I can have better gains, consistently.

Gotta agree with the gravity in Asia theory!

There is a big correlation of strength with size. But it isn't as big as many would think. Here's an example. This guy's 65KG and he's pretty tall. I think about 171CM and here he is snatching a 112KG snatch. THink you guys might be inspired by this. He's one of us. Malaysian. So we've got these fellows too!



The cool part about this is he's not trained in months and his bodyweight also dropped. A lot of feats of strength has a higher correlation to the brain tuning itself efficiently to perform these movements, not so much "strength" in the general manner. Weightlifters are experts in giving the barbells the momentary pause in the air while slipping under the bar or using stretch reflexes to reverse directions and appear to be strong. I'd say the really strong athletes, hands down are the gymnasts. They're the strongest because they're never using momentum and always using contraction. This tunes the head into reducing the amount of vibration (which causes the athlete to be unstable, have to reabsorb and not necessarily use the muscles and CNS for control).
