He's right to a certain degree, most lifters up to the advanced stage don't need chest isolation beyond bench, incline bench and upright dips to hit the triceps and lower chest as a secondary target
Jonathan Ramirez
hes very right. I regret wasting 5 years of lifting focusing on hypertrophy training strictly. I think hypertrophy training is important but it should be periodized just like strength training. I think the hypertrophy gains you can get from doing high volume powerlifting programs is very underrated, I just noticed my physique looks completely different when transitioning from a more bodybuilding type training approach to a powerlifting centered program. Its hard to explain and I cant really quantify it but IME powerlifting has given me most size gains and overall just get more out of training that way

> just bench and deadlift
Nigga what?
Just do a beginner program for a decent build then switch to PPL 2 times a week

It's Pavel's Power to the People, Russian bear variation, basically.
It's acceptable.
Bentley Jackson
Weight is just a number, the kids in his audience are gonna end up pushing for these fucking bananas numbers and snaping their shit
Henry Flores
He's right. This triggers the Scott Herman.
I'm in a similar boat. Hypertrophy training is great when you're able to lift decent weight, because it's all about volume and volume = weight x reps. Doing bodybuilding programs when you can't bench more than 135 is a mistake and a waste of time, something I learned the hard way same as you.

SS is WRONGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

Strength training for athletes isn't the same as strength training for fresh beginners.

So... If i want a better bench what you're saying is just do bench before all else, every day you work out, and design your routine around that one exercise?
It sounds like it makes sense.
