Great video as always Brendan. One thing I would suggest is to offer one off training plans without the coaching element, something akin to what Jeff Nippard does. Would love to buy a 16 week program and use it at my own pace without the monthly fee
Patient bulks are so important minus times you’re in a situation that warrants a faster gain. Generally speaking the totality of a bulk should average a .5-1% bodyweight change monthly. Now obviously depending on the phase of the bulk though, that number changes and over the course of time it averages out to that!
Would you treat something like arm and shoulder training (i.e. bicep curls, lateral raises) similar to accessories and taper them off as you peak? Or would the impact on the CNS be too low to make a difference?
Hey man just wanna say that you're videos are quality and underrated. I have a question. I'm competing at uspa nationals in july. I've recently done a peaking phase and I'm wondering what's next. I'm 16 weeks out.
Thank you! That means a lot! Dude we have a 16 week program right now that will peak you big time for nats! Try our SBD program. This season is really hypertrophy and volume focussed too so it’ll be a great baseline builder for the peak. If you can’t afford the 45 a month then I’d recommend my submax DUP program that’s free but it doesn’t have a peak.
Hey Brendan thanks for the content, Is season 10 fusion 4 or 5 days a week now? I recall you saying its 4 in one of your recent videos but it says 5 on the website
4! Honestly I don’t like 5 day splits unless it’s incredibly specialized on body parts. They just tend to overwork the hormone system and produce less results. I only have two 1 on 1 clients on a 5 day split and they’re females who tolerate a ton of volume. I just don’t think most people should train 5 days a week unless there’s a really specific reason to.
Would RPE be as important for our accessory exercises? For example, would it be detrimental if I took a small muscle (I.e shoulders or biceps) to muscular failure for 2-3 sets on most weeks of a program? It feels so wrong doing a sets of bicep curls at RPE 6, but what’s your opinion on this?
Rpe 6 is a decently high rpe if you’re training with proper form. Most people start to curl with very slight momentum as they fatigue which allows the rpe to bleed out differently than a squat. Every single time I’ve had a client say volume is too low or RPEs too low I have them come train with me and then their arms want to fall off lol I actually have a video where I show that with a client. However with that said I regularly do isolation work rpe 8-10 especially arms I only go below 7 like once a block
All of them man! My strength days, 1-5, but sometimes I’ll even do backdown sets of 8 there. And my secondary days usually 6-10 but sometimes I go lower or higher. Generally though you can stick to those rep ranges on those given days
Oh bro I’d adopt a cat for free! I love all animals. I actually want cats but gotta find some rescues that are dog friendly. My dog scout does well with cats but I gotta see how Gaia is. I’m a huge animal lover. A dream for me would be to have a mini farm
I hit a lifetime deadlift PR today at age 53. Conventional, hook grip. I have picked up some great pointers from this channel.
Dude that’s SO badass! I’m fuckin hoping to do that into my 50s! Seriously amazing bro!
The whiteboard is so nostalgic! Love it 🙌🏻
Dude I store it in the gym, so many awesome videos coming!
Gold bro thank you ❤

Definitely needed to hear all of this. Thanks for the video!
Loving the content man, this is what I needed! I’m an OG subscriber and have to hear this kind of training methodology, it works. Thanks Brendan.
Love the beard man
Keep it!
One of the few youtubers that I can listen to forever and still be able to suck (pause) in all the information
❤️💪🏼 means a lot man, thank you for your support! I’m finally in a place to drop MAD content ever since the move. Tons coming this year
Great 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Damn man, 20 pounds in 4 years. That is patience. The 200+ pouns you put on your total speak volumes though

Mom another brendan tietz video, aint that brendan tietz? Yeah mom woke up late but still got notified
@brendan tietz explaining and cooking a 650 squat is insane man,
Hahahahaha tell mom she’s gotta squat 650 now!

Do you time the bulks and cuts with your training phases too?
Yes to an extent! I’ll do a video on this because it’s somewhat complex
When power building what’s a good rep range on squat?
All of them man! My strength days, 1-5, but sometimes I’ll even do backdown sets of 8 there. And my secondary days usually 6-10 but sometimes I go lower or higher. Generally though you can stick to those rep ranges on those given days
@@BrendanTietz thanks man appreciate it!
How much of a calorie surplus is your bulk and how long are the mini cuts?
Usually 250-500 calories a day! And mini cuts are never more than 4 weeks!
Brendan, if someone offered you $20,000 to take on a pet cat for an entire year, would you do it?

Fastest man alive
Always fast but never finish early 💪🏼😂
