I've been lifting on and off for almost 50 years. I've never seen a better explanation of strength, hypertrophy, and performance. Extremely well done.

Got my 460lb deadlift yesterday (75lb pr) finally a big man there. Going to retest my bench tomorrow going for 265. Squat on Friday hoping for 385 (50lb pr). I'm optimistic cause I got 40lbs on my front squat this block.

@user-sc5ft5jp9y personal record. 75 and 50lbs more than I'd ever lifted before respectively. To be fair it's a lot less crazy than it sounds cause I'm still clearly having noob gains I've been lifting for 7 months......this training block was 4 weeks of the SBS beginner template with 1 deadlift, repeated the once a week bench twice, squat twice a week program with front squats on the second day and a strict press day. This was my first time periodizing my training really and before I used to go way too close to max effort too frequently so I reacted really well to the uptick in submaximal effort volume. The 265 would be a 40lb bench pr from the start of the block, I hit 255 last week but I think I have more in the tank so trying again. I hit 195 strict press last week. 295 front squat. I really would like a 405 squat already but that's probably over ambitious.

Calc 2 is easy if you do practice problems. I had a 95 in calc 3 bc I did practice problems, but I had an 86 in calc 2 bc I slacked off

20 rep squats really make sets of 10 a lot more mentally manageable so I like building to 20 rep squats in the off season before moving to the more traditional hypertrophy ranges, and then depending on length of off season I may move towards strength training for a good while before peaking for a meet or if it's an extended off season do a quick peak to my old max strength (not really pushing for 1rm PR's) before returning to hypertrophy, but working towards new rep max PR's as the focus and doing a bit less bodybuilding work.

My last week have become in just waiting for another episode of FYC series. Thanks for all @AlexanderBromley

It is really interesting how the fitness industry changes over time. I remember when I first started watching KZread, natural bodybuilding / men's physique was the big thing. Christian Guzman, Vitruvian Physique etc. A few years later, powerbuilding became the new thing with guys like David laid, Ryan Cassey etc. Now we are in an era of hyperspecificity with hyperfication of bodyweight ratios, skinny kids doing sumo Deadlifts with no range of motion and a hyperemphasis on what's "optimal". Everybody trains for their "sport". We need a resurgence of being a well rounded unit. You should be muscular and imposing and also strong and also in good shape and you should also know how to fight. And yes you can do all these things. When you choose to compete you can specialise in one, but being well-rounded will always give you an advantage.

So true. Bob peoples was the first man to deadlift over 700lbs and only very recently are people talking more about him because at the time the man was just a humble farmer who lifted by himself. He wasn’t an influencer and deadlifting wasn’t his job otherwise he’d be rich. Paul Anderson lifted for a living and was strong as fuck but his main contribution was to charity and his work in the community. More generally, Too many people want to be warriors in the garden and as a result are now neglecting the garden. They assumed they were gardeners to begin with but they never were anything.

Agreed. At 42, I'm past my prime, but I grew up training with pugilism (or just combat) in focus. I learned a lot from studying Bruce Lee's training methods in my youth and then learned some from boxers and MMA fighters as that sport matured. Recently took up Ripletoe's "Starting Strength" program. It's been very stimulating because I've never ever done just "the big 3/4". That said, at my age, going super hard on 5 rep sets (especially after the joint stress of years of hitting a heavy bag) has caused some elbow and shoulder pain. I'm slowly learning to tailor this whole low-rep thing to my own age and abilities. Finding that well-conceived "accessory" days give my joints the needed break while intelligently training muscles that don't get a lot of individual attention from the big lifts. Glad it's still fun and novel to keep training!

Hey Alex, fantastic acting at 7:50 :D Love your content.

Progressive Overload through more Volume = more Cows in the Same Time / less Rest between Cows

My concept of strength has evolved over time. I no longer necessarily see 'strength' as being able to lift X pounds for a single but to be able to move moderately large weights somewhat comfortably. I also think that superlong sets are the best for longevity. I do a lot of 100 rep squats with lighht weights now, my legs have never looked better and my cardio is better. Nobody is going to offer me a better job or ask what my max this or that lift is. I also avoid barbell back squats and other hernia inducing exercises like the plague.

Studies and experience have shown that minimal weight, maximal reps can actually contribute to the repair and mobility of knees and joints... slowing yourself while walking down stairs, for example. I wonder if military press and kettlebell lift over the head--with many sets and reps of low weight--could contribute to back recovery after a disc injury. Definitely worth talking to an orthopedist about and maybe performing some studies.

Hi Alexander ... I have been watching several of your videos recently and enjoyed this one in particular. I am curious about the "periodization" scheme in which you might start at 12 reps and then progress to heavier loads by lowering the rep target to 10, followed by 8, 6, etc ... . I have heard of this before, but I have found descriptions on how to program this lacking. For example, suppose I was to program bench press in this fashion. How long would you recommend staying at the 12 rep range before changing to 10, 8, 6 etc ... ? Let's say you planned on training for 5 weeks before planning a "deload/easy rest" week ... would you do 1 week at each rep target ... i.e 5 weeks to go through 12, 10, 8, 6, and 4 ... rest for week and repeat. Or might it be several weeks at each rep target? And can the progression from 12 down to 4 be spread over multiple meso-cycles? Thanks for your time.

Those illustrations are money

On Gary

Yeah I can't decide what type of program to do either since I want to be big and strong and lift crazy amounts of weight? I keep program hoping because I can't stick to a program due to the squat being my arch nemesis when it comes to the big three. I have a 265 lb bench 315 lb squat and a 465 lb deadlift.

Whatever maximizes recovery and limits stress on joints. Probably do machines at a weight that you can do 10-12 reps of, with 3 sets a machine. 3-4 times a week until you get experience and can better figure out what you want to do from there.

Can you calrify what you mean when you said sets of 3 or so are harder to recover from than sets of 10(i may have the numbers wrong but it was something along those lines)? Do you mean from set to set? Because i have heard the opposite when talking about the recovery from one lifting session to another, as higher reps cause more muscle damage which keeps you more sore for longer. Always love the informational videos👍

@R3FL3XSN1P3R

10 ай бұрын

A set of 10 may make you more sore, but that's a bad proxy of how hard it is to recover. A set of 3 to failure will be harder to recover from (for most people). The metric of "to recover from" is normally how quickly could you do that (or hopefully more) again. A max set of 10 squats will make you sore as shit, but you can probably redo it next week if you had to. A max set of three? Maybe one week, definitely not the next week, etc

@the_man_emperor_of_mankind

10 ай бұрын

Sets of 10 or 12 are simply just easier on the body overall because of the lighter weight used, the muscle don't have to produce as much overall force and the tendons and bones don't have to support as much weight. Additionally soreness is something that is easier to adapt to than the mental beat down that is a hard set of three. Often times the soreness is only really present for the first couple times and as your body adapts it becomes a smaller and smaller issue until it becomes non-existent
