XL! Fits real tight though, I like my clothes super fitted. I’m 6’0” and 229 right now. Broad shoulders, arms 18.5 inches. Just to give context on fit

What are your thoughts on conjugate training style where you rotate variations of the squat bench and deadlift for max Effort lifting and then have a high volume day with mainly bodybuilding work? No separate phases for either heavy work or volume work. Both skills are trained weekly with consistent volume but only max effort lifts are in weekly rotation though they will not be too far off from the competition lifts. This westside methodology for powerbuilding works well for me. My split is 3 days full body utilizing a Heavy Monday session (1-5 reps for 3 sets with some isolation at the end for week points, then Wednesday a lighter workout using no barbells but instead a stretch and squeeze focus using cables dumbbells, and machines for 8-12 or 10-15 reps for bloodflow and recovery with some hypertrophy. This lighter day will fill in any gaps with isolations such as lying leg curls, leg press, forearm work, neck work and rear/side delts and abs, and flys for stretching and squeezing pecs. Then Friday hit the full body again with barbell compounds in 6-10 reps range to grow muscle mass in general in a balanced way. Every 6-12 weeks I will rotate lifts out for volume work so as to be able to progress on them in strength. Its kinda like DUP periodization full body but using the max Effort method to practice singles once a week going for variation PRs each time without overuse kicking in on the body. Thanks for all you do. Youre a very smart and strong dude. I do not compete in powerlifting at all. Im just a 45 yr old man who likes to be big and strong for health and longevity. I am aiming to build the big 4 lifts monthly so I alternate between Bench and OHP, Squat and Deadlift weeks on Max Effort attempts. I also love rowing and weighted Pullups. Thank you.

I got you!

What do you think about effective rep approach to total volume per bodypart per week?

When you program primary day backdowns to be +2% weekly of a 1rm, what is the benefit of using different ranges? I've seen you recommend starting at 80% and I've seen Swolefessor program starting at 60%. I did 6 months of 60-76 and stopped there after 6 months - but I wonder if I could have just kept going until I hit 86 or something.

If a client of yours tested his 1rm's, felt great on a waveload week afterwardsz but became completely overwhelmed with fatigue on the following week 2... Is it time for a deload?

How do i find the part 2 sir brendan?

the 5th week would be deload, right?

Hi Coach, thank you for the great insight! Question: I assume you assume about the example ifter that he is proficient in the front squat, otherwise the block length would not even be enough to nail down technique, let alone get anything out of the movement. If this lifter would not be proficient in the front squat what would be your weapon of choice in the first "bring up the quads"-block?

@BrendanTietz

9 ай бұрын

I would still use front squats but teach them. Belt squats however I’d also add in until they nailed the pattern but keep in mind half of “weak quads” is positional in back squat. You fix the knee position you fix weak quads and front squats force you to fix knee position

Very insightful videos i have ever seen on utube. How can someone get ur coaching from india. Ome more question is whether strength in three major lifts like Deadlift,Squat and presses can be increased week by week keeping naturally without any enhanced diet. Plz reply sir

@BrendanTietz

8 ай бұрын

Thank you so much! When you say enhanced diet what do you mean? You have to be in a calorie surplus to get stronger but it can be very minimally! For our programs we offer a great group coaching program on the website for only 45 a month! Due to currency exchanges most people in India find my 1 on 1 coaching too expensive so you’d most likely be best off with the group coaching which is only 25-45 USD a month!

If you are cutting a weight class, are you still programming higher volumes / hypertrophy esp. at the beginning of the cycle?

@BrendanTietz

Yes but slightly less by about 20% or so

Refreshing to see some real live action programming. What does ascending 9 reps 8 RPE look like? How is it different from hitting a top set of 9 reps at RPE 8?

rpe 7 to 8 for three sets is working hard, I use rpe as rir caus that’s what it was created and meant to be, but I rather work with rir as first set and rir will depend on the choosen rep range and sets, example triceps ovh you can start with a 4 rir it might be even a 0 rir at the third set, so I rather use rir to leave the objective side of tracking so you can take notes and make adjustments.

You’re really misunderstanding rpe and rir. They’re the same thing. But the RTS manual and you’ll see exactly what Mike T describes as RPE is RIR. The term RIR was coined by researchers because they couldn’t use the term RPE as it was already used in other training modalities in scientific literature. They’re the same thing bro. You need to stop acting like you know everything, most of your comments on my page make you look opinionated, reactive and uneducated with extreme conviction lol not a combo you want. I was the same way when I was younger though.

@@BrendanTietz In Italy and France rpe is not used as rir, also Mike T promoted it as RIR just to make it more objective, but imo that’s just to make it more “commercial”. I said I use rpe as RIR, but how you measure it just changes how you program the rpe number. Also Mike T himself doesn’t use rpe as rir, especially on deadlift where you can have a max of 230 but your triple is at 220/225kg, 5kg (2%) difference but 2 reps difference. that would mean 1x225@8, 1x227,5@9, 1x130@10 So rpe as rir is not perfect but has is objective side and easier to take notes for adjustments but at that point just write rir down not rpe cause it sounds cool. While rpe as rpe is hard to identify for intermediates, that’s why I stick to rir cause I still have to make research example on myself. before claiming rpe (not as rir) and if you use rpe as rir with accessories 3 reps to failure is working hard especially if the rep range is over 8reps.

Does seem like most deadlift advantaged lifters have trouble learning to leverage their quads in the squat. And even the deadlift.

One day we’ll get to 100k subs

An RPE video that goes over how you objectify RPE for your clients would be awesome. I find it that RPE perception varies from lifters looking at the same video

I bring my spine doing Dead lift
