    Frequency increases gave me a lot of joint pain and mentally fatigued me from training. I swapped to 3 days a week, one heavy, and two volume days, with lots of exercise variety, and im lifting heavier than i ever have, and feel excited to go to the gym

    I used to work in a Beer Distrubution Warehouse. I had a job moving full Beer Kegs...(160 lbs)
    Big, wet awkward.......moved them Mon--Friday. Even got some tendonitis in the wrists from it.
    At first they were beasts....But I kept lifting and hoisting the same weight 5 days a week.
    Eventually, over a couple of years I went from struggling with them to being able to press a full beer keg overhead......I did not train for that. I just went to work and did my job.

  • @semiferal816
    @semiferal816 Рік тому +82

    The key to getting stronger is simply to gradually increase total amount of work over time. Reps, sets, number of exercises are all important, however many people leave out frequency. You simply cannot fit the same amount of QUALITY work into a 2 day/week routine versus a 3 day. This is why Olympic lifters train twice a day 6 days per week, and Powerlifters should (not to the SAME extreme due to the load of the lifts) take on this approach more

    • @lnfopublishingsecrets1887
      @lnfopublishingsecrets1887 Рік тому +9

      If that's the case of more being better, then why not train 9 hours a day, every day. Why not 12 hours a day, every day? Surely more is better, always, right? The answer is that you'd never recover. And grind yourself into dust in the process.
      The secret to getting stronger is to have enough of a strength stimulus that it invokes an adaption by your CNS. Too great a volume becomes detrimental after a certain point. Both session ally and cumulatively. And as strength generally has a longer and greater recovery curve than hypertrophy. It becomes difficult to practice your strength too often at a relatively high intensity.
      Olympic lifters train i.e 6 hours a day because it's their job. AND, they're working on the skill of getting better at lifting weights. And not strength itself. As most Olympic lifters generally, rarely, do maximums.

    • @semiferal816
      @semiferal816 Рік тому +11

      @@lnfopublishingsecrets1887 I never said every session needs to be maximal. I also never made the statement that a drastic increase in volume would result in instant gains. I said OVER TIME, increasing total work performed, is the single most simple and foolproof way to getting stronger.
      I didn’t say all powerlifters need to double up on volume. I also never said powerlifters need to train maximally more, or train harder. Slowly, GRADUALLY increasing total work performed, and adapting the CNS to a larger workload over time is a foolproof way to strength gains.
      This is why linear progressions work so well. They simply adapt the lifter to more and more total work over time. Eventually as you get more advanced, the increase in total work week to week is going to be smaller, so programs like bullmastiff that increase the work over 9 weeks are mor effective. However simply put, regardless of skill level, increasing total work over time can never not help

      @@Kingofcrocs1 I think there’s some instances where keeping the frequency high can make sense - probably for more “technical” lifters. If my bench tanked going down in frequency I would’ve brought the 4th day back after 1 block. Obviously my hope was that it would progress, that perhaps the novelty of 3 days would somehow break the plateau. But since it stayed the same it gives me something to pivot to for comp prep, and even if my bench only went down a little I probably would’ve kept in with 3 times frequency for a while longer.

    I remember in the past that partial reps aka 6 inch movements (clearly double your max) increased strength exponentially in 2 ways. It helped the body to adapt to the stress of crazy weight along with the psychological factor of the fear of heavy weight. The mind and body got used to it rather quickly.

    I've been doing 5x5, 3x9-12, 4x6-8 and really enjoying it. This is for strict press and front squat. I superset the OHP with chin-ups and pull-downs, and superset the FS with flye, reverse flye, Lu raise complexes. I finish with hi rep lying hamstring curls and seated leg extensions. The press and squat benefit from the 3x per week frequency. I bench, row, and RDL 1x per week, and these lifts seem to benefit from the ample rest combined with carry-over progression from the other lifts.
