Finally someone honeste and sincere.. I enjoyed your video because i used to struggle with some "fundamentals" like rest between sets etc and what you said is the proove you're not saying fake stuff it's actually the problem of many novices .. But i still have a problem , after weeks of strenght training, i take 2 days off by doing light sessions( drop everything by 80 percents: intensity, weights etc) but i'm struggling to find the propper way to deload cause it's actually a changing scale according to your level and when getting back to normal training i feel like my strenght is gone, and it takes like a week to START comming back lol... Help ( ik this is kinda mindf**ckin question but i'll be thankful if someone could heelp)
For some reason, I never thought about just decreasing my increases workout to workout. I think going to 2.5 on my presses will help a ton. Thanks! Also, the presentation skills of the person in this video are spot on. He speaks at a good pace and uses pauses in the right places to let the audience "relax". Well done.
Sully is awesome. He's got his own channel at Greysteel, and has written a book, The Barbell Prescription: Strength Training after 40, with Andy Baker.
@@inrx45bgy Well, now I gotta go buy a book and lament books with the phrase "after 40" in the title apply to me. Seriously though, I loved his demeanor.
really good point. I, almost like a idiotic habit, used to end up increasing more weight than i can handle , especially on squats and DLs . ofcourse the linear progression only lasted for 2 months and i had to come back to original program after realizing my mistake after watching the 3 questions vid and continue with smaller increments which was much enjoyable cause of defined aims.
Sometimes you plateau on adding weight because what your body needs is more intensity in other facets such as: - higher reps -more sets -shorter recovery - longer eccentric loading There are many ways to add intensity besides simply adding weight. Continuously adding weight and not varying the other aspects of intensity could result in injury to tendons/ligaments since they adjust much slower than muscle fibers.
Thanks for your comment. We don't recommend adding weight indefinitely...we play with some of the variables you mentioned above--exercise selection, frequency, volume. That being said, I think you're confusing STRESS with INTENSITY...you have to add stress to progress. Adding more volume or intensity increases the stress. Eventually, though, you can't recover from the increased stress in 48 or 72 hours. Then things get more complicated.
@@BarbellLogic why are you sorry? It's a question. I'm able to do 215 for 3 x 5. I stalled at 220. I know sleep is sometimes an issue for me. But I feel I'm probably close to my current potential for progression every workout. I was curious what was typical.
There is a normal distribution of results from LP. lowest I've seen for a man was 25 years old with a 140 pound squat. The biggest was north of 450. You'll be in the middle.
@@kiril1 No. 60 kg = 132 lbs. You need 150 g a day. And that's super-easy, even without shakes, just by eating more poultry, fish, meat, eggs, and dairy. However, YOU need more than that. Because unless you are VERY short, you need to weigh a LOT more than 60 kg.
@@kiril1 Are you considering all protein sources in a diet? Or are you just calculating your animal based protein? A typical meal for me is 130 to 140g of chicken breast (150 to 160g from other cuts of chicken) and then whatever amount of carbs and fats I need. That's usually around 30 to 40g of protein from meat then another 10 to 20 from other sources. I get ~230g of protein every day, 160 or so from animal sources and the rest from oats, rice, bread, veggies, fruit etc. For reference I'm early 30s, been training 3 to 4 years. Currently 87kg and about 172cm. I started training at 60kgs or so. Protein and nutrition was my the first wall that I was personally able to modify, and it's one of the things most people are going to have some shortcomings with. Eat more protein for sure. Definitely gain some weight. Keep track of your waist and if body comp is something that matters to you start slowing things down when it's around 36 to 38 inches. My mistake was seeing everyone mention people should weigh around 200lbs and going straight to that number. I'll get there eventually with a good composition but I think waist is a good way to make sure you're not gaining too much, especially if competing isn't your immediate goal
@@GreySteel I'm not arguing with you, you know better, just telling you, it was always a hard time for me to eat a lot. And 150 g of protein is a lot for me. I'm short, yes, about 165 cm, 130 lb, and no way I'm going to put inside me that amount of food. What even more frustrating is the fact that I can't eat dairy, having intolerance for lactose. So, 1.5 g/ kg would be nice, because more is just impossible.

Good points. I think I need to drop to 2.5 lbs increases on the presses.
2.5 is good. myself have to increase like less than 1 pound per session
Another perfect vid 👌🏼
I'M LIFTING IN MY DREAM AND WHEN I WAKE UP I'VE GOT DUMBBELLS IN MY SHOWER SO I CAN DO BICEP CURLS AS I WASH MYSELF!
Excellent video thank you guys 😘
i love a training video with 5 bottles of boose and a skull in the background. is the alcool coming first or after recovery
Gotta hit that PR first.
Amazing Sully

Wait - so how long SHOULD you rest between sets.
M B three to five minutes is olenty
Barbell Logic Workouts will take forever if I do that.
Yubel if that’s what you gotta do then that’s what you gotta do
@@naturalstrength8393 but you’re only doing 3-4 lifts per workout session
@@divinecomedian2 I rest two minutes between sets on compound lifts and 1 minute between sets of isolation exercises.
What is a decent stall point in weight? For a 195 lbs 5'11 male.
You have to do your weight. You must strive. I'm sorry sir.
@@BarbellLogic why are you sorry? It's a question. I'm able to do 215 for 3 x 5. I stalled at 220. I know sleep is sometimes an issue for me. But I feel I'm probably close to my current potential for progression every workout. I was curious what was typical.

@@BarbellLogic well I'm glad I'm north of the lowest at 37. Thank you for your response.
@@TiberiusStorm you mean they kept a linear progression of 5 lbs a workout to a 300 lbs 1 rep max?
150 g of protein? Not going to get it from a food. Even 100 sounds too much, for everyday consumption.
Of course you can get that from food. 150-160 is a layup. Supplement with protein shakes to get more.
I'm 60 kg, I think 90 g is ok, isn't it? @@BarbellLogic
