Why the Soviet Weightlifting System is Effective w/Pavel Tsatsouline | Joe Rogan

This is the podcast you needed to have Louie on!

I like the constant weight training even if you have to stay at a particular weight for some time. it is much more astonishing for a skinny guy being able to lift nth kgs than big bulky guys why? because people already expect big bulky guys to be able to lift such heavy weights.

this n*gga look like he run cross country. get him out of here

I trained the doug hepburn method.
A real deadlift 835 at 212 lbs and495 25 reps
He was canadas only gold medalist in weightlifts.
Slow and steady wins the race.m

why is he so small?

Probably a bit harsh of Pavel to call Yurik Vardanyan a 'wiry guy' 😅

Pavel is a Genius! 🙏✝️🤴🤴🤴🤴🤴🤴🤴🤴🤴👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Joe did him dirty with those overhead lights.
His head shining brighter than my future.

The biggest secrets were the drugs

Pável is one smart dude. His English is above impeccable

Kettelball in usa starts only when the Americans observe the phenomenal success the Russians are having. In Russia it started much much earlier and whit the naval sailors etd.
In the 90,a a scientific data proved just how effective kettlebells truly are,

Not drugs then?

Edit: Ok, not just drugs. Don't let the body get too comfortable, surprise it.

Why’s the Soviet system so effective? Steroids.

Because steroids work

Awesome video thank you!! Very informative

weightlifting conversation without mentioning the infamous Bulgarian National Team Coach Ivan Abadjiev, in the notorious Bulgarian System should't be held.

Gopod information..super serious guy

Never go bulgarian.

His voice tone is Great to fall asleep

Back his mic up the swallowing and mouth noises make this video unbearable.

Don’t forget the amount of PEDs they’re piss melts glass.

This guy just blew my mind and spoke so well… usually you’ll only find someone who’s biased towards one method or something.. learned a lot just now about so much useful information I’ll never forget it

Drugs

in college we always step loaded with variable reps (3x10 one week, 3x5 the next maybe 5,4,3,2,1 or.5x5 the next etc.) but the goal was to improve form and consistency. this was primarily for olympic training (clean and jerk and snatch and the supporting auxillary lifts) so one aspect would be despite staying at the same weight youd try to accelerate and explode the lift over the course of retaining that weight. the worst thing you could do was lower the weight, lose form correctness or fail a lift (in that order). i thought this system was incredibly effective.

Moron

This guy's dummmmmmmbbbbb

Jamie, pull up how much is a calf.

No brain no gain.

Do a podcast on Chinese weightlifting method! They have a lot of gold medalists these days

Secret ingredient are steroids

I actually apply the same principles in weightlifting. Not gonna lie it does work sinply because your mind is trained to perform in a manner that allows your body to get used to the movements and executions required to lift heavy weights. I transitioned from having problems lifting 40kg clean and jerks and now progressing to upper 75 kg weights.

Do we get to take all the steroids too??

George Forman was filmed carrying a calf training for his second run for the heavyweight title.

Steroids is why

Ancient Soviets trick. You tell the truth and facts, but in such a boring way, that the person loses interest

There is no way Joe listened to all of that lol

Steroids

1 word.. Steriods.

I had this guy's VHS stretching tape in high school when I did Tae Kwon Do. Dropped me into front splits so quickly.

Blah, blah, blah....STEROIDS!

It’s funny this guy is such a strength expert. I like the guy he’s super cool but he doesn’t look like he can bench 225. I don’t really understand why someone would put so much weight into this guys strength training advice. When I listen to him everything he says is more about developing skill then developing actual strength. Performance increases with skill but you’re not necessarily getting stronger. You can improve performance in one day by improving skill but did you get stronger? Of course not. I used HIT methods of Arthur Jones for years and got stronger every workout until I bench pressed 500 lbs and deadlifted 700 lbs

Didn't all the drugs help?

We 100% understand hypertrophy lmao wtf is he talking about

Pavel's a talker

Wow that was boring

He's got tits.

Thw land of conan's

This is the most BORING and useless shit Ive ever heard on JRE...

Constant training is great for some sports, but not all. If you are a fighter or body builder you generally doing light workouts until a few months before game time when you ramp it up to crazy levels. What you are suggesting is a constant progression though slower and at some point your likely hood of injury goes though the roof, and just gets worse and worse until you in fact injured.
