What are the six weird lifts that make you strong?
I didn't say it. So, no, let's start by saying there are definitely lifts that I think elicit respect when you're strong at them. And then there's other lifts like, oh, cool, you can standing calf raise the whole stat. Nobody cares. Yeah. Oh, cool. Smith machine anything. Yeah, does it make sense to nobody?
Everybody knows the bench squat deadlift, right? Overhead press. Well, those are like the main powerlifting. Yeah, that's right. And they compete, which is why, I mean, aside from that they have incredible value and we talk about that. But I love this topic because these are ones that, people wouldn't assume that I think we agree have tremendous value and should be focused on getting strong.
And you don't see it in the gym.
No, most of these are super rare to see in the gym, yet getting strong in them have incredible overall benefits.
It should be a focus. I would add, if I saw somebody doing any one of these lifts, with good weight and control, I would consider that person just strong. Like just overall strong. Like you know that that person has incredible, just overall impressive strength. And again, Adam, you picked the common ones. Like you see someone deadlifting and squatting a lot. maybe over pressing a lot or benching a lot. Like, like, you know, that person's strong more than if they were using a machine to do something. Right. Right. Uh, these lifts that we put down here, like if you get good at these, you're just a strong human being and it means a lot for your entire body. In fact, what you'll see is carry over, uh, into other lifts by getting good at these lifts.
And they're weird because nobody does them, although I think people should do them. And they are very challenging to do. Yeah.
