The gym is just a trigger. Growth is dependent on what takes place during all the time outside of the gym. Got to listen to your body. Push to the limit of what you can recover from. Great podcast gentlemen! 👊
EliteFts needs to release an intermediate program!
45 yrs old former athlete now dad and worker. For my older brothers listen to your body take a longer break it helps. We get frustrated but it's best REST!!!
Recovery is the name of the game, without it, training would actually break us down and make us weaker!
Yup, I taxed my cns now I have to take a week off to fully recover.
@@Egghead1199 lol! neat name ..... yeah I agree, over taxing the CNS from lifting by itself without other factors is enough to cause some pychological issues lol! which I find funny and interesting in ways....
What is I’m working in construction and lifting all day but wanna go heavy after work ?
@@accdetailing4405 Go to the gym before work if possible (if you start work at 4am-5am this won't work as waking up before 4am isn't advised for optimal sleep.
@@accdetailing4405 If you can only go after work, just ramp up to a training max (90-95%) and take what you have on the day, don't push it too hard. 100% max should be reserved for only a few times a year. Since you work construction you won't need as much volume work and/or GPP work after going heavy
Had an active recovery day today so appreciate this video/perspective.
All around solid advice!
When I was younger I couldn't do the recovery workouts like Dave said. I would just end up pushing hard and burn myself out. Now that I am older I am more than happy to have the light recovery work.
Appreciate the content!
Hey thanks Dave.
Just stumbled on this podcast. Good stuff for an older lifter like myself
I love this video and I hope you'll keep on doing your thing.👍🏻
Best thing I’ve done is get off the Monday/Thursday Tuesday/Friday split and add another day between lifts. As I get older I need the additional recovery time.
Cool clip, good second listens after listening to the podcast
Thanks for all the brilliant, expert info. It’s like getting the worlds best coaching here.
i find it interesting how building strength is very similar to boxing, if you spar too hard before the fight you can over train and leave all the fight you had back in the gym,
Was it the whole last night, moderate load on my back, step back and right before I hit my squat my left shoulder made this crunching sound. Snap City
I like the active recovery. An other reason to hit the weights.
Dave this is a perfect video. Love hearing you talk more on people who have to work and how to best optimize training and maximize cycles. Not all of us have the option to not work. We just trying to be enormous and raise healthy families.
Great video
My Favorite Monster Rehab flavor is in the video... Ps I have a love/hate relationship with training heavy then deloading trying to do active recovery
I have a love/hate relationship with deload weeks.
I stepped away from powerlifting 4 days a week because my shoulders were getting beat up. Doing full body 3 days a week with focus on shoulder safe variations. Shoulder is getting better and will be back to powerlifting again. But no sense in pushing an injury. I should come back stronger since I haven't stopped, just allowing for healing.
you could still stay with 4 days but use exercises that don't compromise the shoulders as much, safety bar squats, front squats, bench with a specialty bar, bench to a board and then use accessory work to hit the full range of motion, like db bench etc
@@Warsheeper wasn't just bench messing with it was the problem, squats was too. And then fighting a mad shoulder on back day. I'm still progressing, just with less volume.
Great content and exactly what people need to hear but don't want to hear.
Can Elitefts do a video explaining the exactly what people mean by the terms novice, intermediate, advance and elite?
If you're talking about powerlifting you can google strength standards. There are definitive levels based on powerlifting total, and weight class. The levels are sometimes called novice, advanced, elite, etc... Outside powerlifting it basically means this.
Novice - beginning lifter, bad form, weak, not good at bracing, no training effect yet.
Intermediate - this can take a few months to a few years to achieve. The lifter has figured out the lifts to a degree, their bracing is better, they are stronger and probably have put on some muscle. They are approaching the end of newbie gains.
Advanced - lifter has been lifting for 5+ years. They have their technique dialed in. They have a fully trained physique, meaning they won't easily put on a lot more muscle quickly, they are objectively very strong.
Elite - world class competitor, challenging for championships and records.
Hope this helps 👍
Great 💯👍
Would alternating comps yearly make any difference? One year you compete 2-4 times and then the next year 1-2 times. You get the experience in, and then have a rebuild and more dialed in year only focusing on a smaller window for comps. Also 0 competition experience, just a guy who goes to the gym and lifts.
Understanding that training should look like a pyramid. The wider your base, the taller the ceiling. So if your goal is to compete you need to realize that you gain the strength, capacity, and performance through the offseason and prequsite strength blocks that lead up to a peak. Merely peaking more reduces the height to which you can climb because you are not building a base of skill,strength,capacity that will support it. So to answer your question, gaining experience is good, but truly peaking for a meet should be done less that 4 times a year for maximal results.
Sir is there any way to maintain or increase muscle mass without majorly doing powerlifting movements??
Lifting weights
You can 100% maximize muscle growth without ever doing squats bench or deadlift

Leg press, rows, pull downs, curls, french press, chest press machine, shoulder press machine. Standing calf machine. Lying hamstring curls.

Comment for the algorithm
Does this work?
@@gunther982 If I don’t have anything to say, I still always comment something. Comments and “likes” help drive the algorithm to suggest videos.
Oh if you're able too... perfect active recovery is "rucking"
Put on your boots, boots, boots….
All good, except the monster energy shit on the table.
I used to do 30 compound sets per body group to failure per week. Guess how much progress I made HAHAHAHAHAAHAHHA (hardly any.)
I love to train. That is my Achilles heel as far as gaining strength. The less often I lift the stronger I get. Sigh. “The emotional habits.” Indeed.
Just more free gold for all of us
