This is absolutely on the money. The more I play with conjugate, the more Dynamic Effort days make sense, and seem to be the game changer. Leave the ego at the door, drop the weight and get the speed up appears to be the order of the day! Great video Matt, thanks mate
Yup 💪💪💪 please come support patreon to help us with the videos 🙏🙏 www.patreon.com/wenningstrength

I love this video! The more I watch your content the more I feel like I’m right there at your gym! Thanks for these videos!
💯💯💯💯
Only using 235 pounds... Okay buddy! *cries in low weight*
Thats like only the bar for us who not suck at squat.
*Sad low weight noises*
Best explanation of it I found, thanks! I'm going to have a go at eccentric loading, makes perfect sense just hearing it but also might feel a bit better than smashing up and down like I have been.
💯💯💯
I like those plates
Awesome video, I really enjoy the speed days, not only for the reasons you mentioned but also just for mixing it up a bit. Sinply put, it's fun haha! Love your online coaching, I have made great progress in only a few months already! Thanks!
💪💪💪💪💪💪💪
Will add speed squats 👍
🎯🎯🎯
at every turn... no let up, just getting better by degrees. Amen.
Mr. Wenning, wooowee. Slap some daisy dukes on and show off them puppies!
Don’t be hatin!!! Lol!!!!
Awesome Video! I work with a velocity sensor. How much speed m/s should the bar have?
All of them
He said in a previous video about 1.0
Try not to worry about that and drop the speed work altogether. It’s insane that people still go for this when most raw guys have stated it’s BS and a waste of time.
Matt. How often do you decompress the spine? Anything besides reverse hyper?
Ask me on my patreon brother!!! www.patreon.com/wenningstrength
Fast eccentrics destroy my technique, so this is a nice alternative
Stretch reflex can only help so much, so you are right
Lower your weight then
I've never really delved into speed work and I'm trying to decide which manual to buy. Is speed work also covered in the hypertrophy one or just the power lifting? Regards Dan
Powerlifting manual is the best for that my friend
What sets/rep scheme would you recommend on dynamic effort days?
I’m also interested in the answer to this question
I usually see most programs go for like 10/12 sets, the reps depends on the lift so 3 for squats, 2 for bench, and either 1 or 2 for Deadlifts. With minimal rest
Check out the manuals or get on Patreon for that info
I know I'm not Matt but he won't reply. Classic westside template does 8x3. A lot of speed waves are free to access on westsides website or conjugate books. Always 1-5 reps for at least 8 sets, never more reps than that
The rep scheme is relative to the intensity ( weight on the bar ) if you look at prilepins chart that will give you an idea of the overall rep ranges . Usually the reps are low as speed is very fatigue sensitive
Matt, how often do you program your speed work? I currently do 3 week cycles & want to implement speed work....do you suggest every 4th week, or maybe end of 2 3 week cycles?

I love you videos and I tried 30-40% of 1rm for 3 months and logged what workouts I did so when the next 3 months came i did the same workouts at 50-60% and got better results. My bench didn't move from 335lbs using 30-40% but when I used 50-60% I pressed 360lbs? Just curious to what your thoughts are?
At that strength level you may need more strength than speed. Some can be genetic too but there are many variables
@@WenningStrength ok. Yeah I'm understanding when I need to change something based on my strength gains.
💪💪💪
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Very informative. I've just come from your video about not wearing a belt all the time. Since speed work is relatively light would you recommend beltless speed work at all, or would it just detract from what you're trying to accomplish?
It can teach proper braising techniques.
@@redcat608 That's a good thought, thanks 👍
I love doing speed work. I do them slightly different than you but I have 3 different phases and I do them differently depending on which phases im in
Wouldn’t rate of force development have to do with the power equation being power = force * velocity? You would train force with maximum strength weight then velocity with really light weights but as fast as possible.
Ask on patreon brother
Did u get an answer?
It it okay to go atg, or should I just go to parrallel?
Depends on the goal!!! Join patreon and ask there!!! www.patreon.com/wenningstrength

LOL Chris Hickson takes this concept to the next level by sending 405 flying off his back.
Love the content, but why can no one in the industry count proper seconds? Those eccentrics and pauses were 3 seconds max, not 5.
We are just all trying to get as badass as you brother!!! Thanks for all You do and help with in the lifting community
Wenning Strength I just think most people mean a 3 count or 5 count instead of 3 seconds or 5 seconds. It can be confusing for the viewers/trainees and I see so much of KZhead fitness doing it.
Nice but not good for athletes on court like bball….I was used to training like that but got sore (not good for sports) and also gained weight due to hipertrophy. Nowadays I just go with calisthenics and plyos….and feel light, explosive and not sore anymore.
Cool good luck
Maybe for bball where weight isn’t really a factor compared to height, other sports like football and wrestling you need all the power and explosiveness you can get
Training styles most times are determined by what you're trying to achieve. But if you're going for muscle building and body toning, then you should be focusing more on muscle contraction (Form) over intensity. You can train very hard, for a longer duration, but without a decent amount of muscle contractions, your results are gonna be minimal. Nice content Mr Wenning.
💪💪💪💪
Why do u hold the bar so far out

Harveys telling you to get low or hes gonna make you
CATTTTTT
🎯🎯🎯🎯
Sets? Reps?
Manuals ? Online coaching ? Lol
well yeah but come on Matt at least show the crowd that these are supposed to be done on a box to break up the concentric/eccentric portion of the lift and build speed that way.
Nothing is supposed to be done on a box. That’s called a variation
Much respect, the games the game but a powerlifters squat is so ugly relative to an Olympic lifters squat.
Dude that literally is the most ridiculous shit I’ve heard all day !!! Thank you 🤣🤣🤣
@@WenningStrength No hate Brother. An Olympic lifters squat is so much more legs & depth rather than lower back and hips.
@@keithdesantis1976 more back? What are You smoking dude? A powerlift squat are more centered Then a olympic squad and if its more centered it means more legs! Olympic squat the bar is infront of You and not centered wich means weight pressure isnt straight down but slightly pressed forward, so The bar will fall if You not compensate for that pressure wich means You press it backwards and for You to but pressure backwards You have to use your back!! So You see You got it mixed up. Powerlifting squat has more depth and more legs with less back. Thats why olympic squaters cant squat as mutch as a powerlifter.. Simple logic. A olympic squat has more finess has alot more athlectic properties to it. Powerlifting is just simple press motion, with low techniqe. Not as good looking as a olympic squat.. Its just raw press motion
