Media New Cain Velasquez weight lifting video

Christ I've never seen a thread get hijacked by a sherdoggers traps
 
Needs some form guidance from Tony

Tony the type of guy to injure the bar doing deadlifts
 
Yes, he seems to be lifting for strength/explosiveness, but does he really need any more of them for his new career? Cain is quick and athletic as is, he can do the stunts needed in WWE. What he needs to be successful is the looks. He needs more bodybuilder-y types of exercises (or, to to be more precise, more bodybuilder-y execution) - slower, with cleaner technique and no cheating. Not to mention Cain, being so injury prone, is just inviting trouble with that kind of training...

P.S. Of course with Cain is mostly genetics, no matter what he does in the gym he needs a lot of USADA-forbidden pills to make the difference.
I’d imagine he has not trained for a long time and feels he needs to rebuild that foundation. May be he would do 100 curls after the warm up
 
Is it that hard to find a decent strength and conditioning coach?
 
Jesus people are so quick to hop on shit they don't know anything about.
I'm actually impressed by Cains form and this is a legit exercise used in weightlifting mostly.
 
i can lift that same weight and am not a famous athlete. so i feel better about myself now

If the weight is accurate, same here. I think he has 45+90+70+10+5=220/100kg on the bar, which less then his weight. I can almost do that and i am like 152 pounds lol.

Proper technique by Kristin Pope


There are 140 pound women who can out clean Cain, who is a former UFC HW champion. Shows how primitive sport science is for combat athletes.
 
My form is great, he just is obviously trying to pull fast

I have only used sarms recently and haven't jagged in 10 years

Just genetically a big boy, always have been
Big boy genetics ? For all I care you could have fell into a tub of radioactive goo... I know some roid traps/shoulders when I see some.
 
Part of being the best is staying healthy. Let's get off this guys nuts, if you can't keep yourself healthy and you can't fight let's just forget about it.
 
Everyone on sherdog should be required to have a photo of them. Mods make it a requirement.
 
These are pretty lousey clean pulls. I’d expect someone of his size and athletic ability to do better. It is also funny that it took until 3/4 pages for anyone to realize that he is doing a clean pull. Not a shrugging deadlift.

We should expect that this type of high level caliber fighter would be educated enough to know the correct movement of weight lifting.
