      You can't say the exact programme, but can you say the rep range? My coach for some months wants me to S/B/D in 8-12 rep range as well, but I often get injured then. He's calling it "building a strong base" when doing over 6 reps, is it even necessary after 6 years of training?
      And what's your total repcount per workout per compound? Some coaches say that try to aim 15 reps ± 2 reps, and you can combine different sets and reps to complete it, e.g 1x5 + 3x3 = 14 reps

    Makes me feel better that even someone like Matt goes through long plateaus. I did the same thing, overtrained to the point where a one plate deadlift wouldn't even move when I went to warm up. Just now managing load better and starting to PR again, although deadlifts are still kind of rough.

  • @tristansaephan300
    @tristansaephan300 Місяць тому +1

    I think in the beginning, you need to increase your load capacity or workload, 5x5, 4x7, to build a solid base, and over time, just slowly decrease it as you get stronger. Having a beg. do 3x3 ~72-88% or singles when their max is, say, 225 on squat will provide not much stimulus. I don't know, but to get strong, you gotta do the hard things.

  • @jz-r
    @jz-r Місяць тому

    You did more sets of bench a week than most people do in 2-2.5 months. That is absolutely mindblowing.
    I had a similar experience with coming back to lifting after some time off and driving 25-31 sets of bench a week, and my bench exploded from 100x1 to 115x3 in 2 weeks. My previous max before time off was 102.5x1.
    Obviously, everyone needs to find what works for them and stick with it, but do you think that driving excessive stimulus can rapidly increase acclimatization to a movement??
    It's always been interesting to me.

  • @THExJMC
    @THExJMC 13 днів тому

    I find frequency helps way more than workload. I probably used to do about 20-30 sets of bench a week if youre including stuff like incline, dumbbells, close grip. All on the same day and I used to only workout 3x a week. I added a second bench day and my numbers blew up even though I was doing more like 10-15 sets per week. Nowadays I do like 6-12 sets a week with only sometimes a third bench day and my numbers are going up again.

    Strange. I always regressed from doing heavy singles. However, doing super high rep sets seem to drive up my baseline fitness way more. For instance, in a comp where I deadlifted 300kg, I hadn't touched over 225kg (75%) in training, where most of my work was lower than this.
    I'd rather do super squat like progression (20 rep squats) and sprinkle in a handful of heavy singles starting a few weeks out from a meet to know where my openers should be.

    Also, not only do we have different needs for lifting but for life as well. We have different lives and situations. Different gyms available, different schedulesvetc. Some of us have 2 kids, 5 kids, zero kids, different jobs, commitments, priorities, stresses, etc
    Your training has to adjust to your life.
    Unless I lose sight of what really matters, I don't lift just to be a better lifter.
    I lift to make me better for YHWH my God, my Lord Yeshua, my wife, my daughters, job, etc.

    • @chonkeboi
      @chonkeboi Місяць тому

      It might be because of absolute load, when you’re not lifting as much weight you can do more but when you get to a certain point every set just becomes more fatiguing since the absolute load is so high. I could be wrong tho.

    • @paoloh885
      @paoloh885 Місяць тому

      High volume --> more stimulus to gain strength--> progress and fatigue
      Eventually the stimulus is not enough to make progress compared to the fatigue. If you then lower volume you get:
      Lower volume --> just enough stimulus to maintain strength, reduced fatigue --> progress because you're no longer fatigued.
      If you switch between high volume and low volume like this you can avoid plateaus. You gotta have the time for high volume training though.

  • @maximilianzhan8375
    @maximilianzhan8375 Місяць тому

    The number of working sets/training frequency must decrease as you get stronger. Your body's ability to recover will always be the limiting factor and it will stall pretty quickly as you get stronger. Think about it: doing 3 sets of 10 with 185 with 225lb 1RM then get stronger with 315 1RM. Your body probably cannot recover from 3 sets of 10 with 225lb with the same frequency. Very easy logic but people fail to see it. The rule of thumb is do as much and as heavy as your body can recover from.
