Probably the best and most succinct presentation I've ever seen about knowing how to properly design your own program. Solid information. Also, I very much appreciate your realistic approach to training time frames. So often it's repeated to utilize workouts no longer than 60min, but then the volume and rest recommendations mathematically contradict the allotted time. And that's before considering the warm up. It's trying to squeeze in two hours of workout into 60min. Thanks for this great video.
Hey Matt, another great video. I'm going to treat myself and sign up for the Patreon. As much as I missed Intern Harvey in this video, I think you're finding a good balance between educating and entertaining. Plus, he needs a day off (how does he even sleep if he can't keep his eyes closed?!). I'm thankful that you share your knowledge and improve the community as a whole. Happy Thanksgiving!
I really enjoy changing up the lifts and tempos because my biggest weakness and strength is I get bored very easily and usually im fed up with a setup after a 2 weeks sometimes less but by changing the exercise rep scheme tempos etc i can keep it varied to keep myself coming back and it usually pans out to greater strength as long as I do a good job with the programming cycle. even when I switch to and from weightlifting to power lifting.
I really enjoy your videos and appreciate the emphasis you put on safe and healthy lifting. I am now introducing my 12 year old son to lifting so that aspect of the sport is of the highest priority.
I practice full body workouts. They are structured by mode and tempo during the week and by the month. . I’m 59 so strength and prs is not my goal. Endurance, maintenance and protecting my joints is my deal. Some great content in this vid. Thanks.
Hi Mat, any advice how to schedule / train for power strength gain with minimal mass gains? A Video about that topic would be awesome. Best wishes from Germany T.
Looks like a repackage of the Poliquin principles which is always good to rehash. I like how you touched on “mode” I definitely agree with changing exercises and/or grips. I think rest is a HUGE variable that dictates the load being used and elicits a different hormonal response when resting 45-60 seconds versus 90-120 seconds. I also think pairing antagonists helps maximize your rest time in the gym allowing for greater workout density. Nice video thank you
I like the honest view on total time. I have often over trained at 1hr 30/40mins. It gives gains for a month but afterwards gains drop off and I was always v.tired. I think just over an hour in order to get a good variety in is fine. This also works with the fact you don't have to do, say, squats and deadlift each workout (although all the compounds should be done at some point in a week imho.) Good luck!
What the timeline on the minimal equipment manual? Thanks Matt. Your manuals and videos have really helped me out! My lifting has improved and my recovery is way better!
How are you able to powerbuild with capped 1 hour workouts. Feel like I would not have near enough time to fit in all my bodybuilding movements and powerlifting movements in that time
You have to look at Matt's strength levels. Elite lifters have to keep workouts to 60 minutes is because of the sheer loads they are moving. I started at an hour and a half. When my strength reached peak levels I had to dial it in.
Even novice lifters should cap their workouts to an hour. When I went from 2 hours workouts to an hour workout both my strength and muscle improved. And I had only been working out about 6 months at that time.
My question is if you have 10 work sets 3 to 5 minutes rest between sets that's 30 to 50 mins of just rest . How are you gonna get it all done in a hr??
michael parker I use alternating/different body part exercises to minimize rest. Eg for chest and back I do a set of bench then one minute rest then rows. Then 2-3 min rest. Then bench, one minute rest, rows etc. I’ve found it to be an efficient use of my hour or so. Bicep and triceps is another easy pair. Shoulders are a little more difficult to pair. For legs I do all the big exercises like squat, deadlift, leg press as singles but it’s easy to double or even triple leg curls, leg extension, calf raises etc.
So are you saying working out longer than an hour is killing the gains of the workout or just that you aren’t going to make any more progress from working past that hour?
Good info Matt!....Time in the gym is my biggest problem...my workouts are going 1hr 30-40 min right now...have a bad habit of getting carried away on my accessory work, but I'm on a 3 day a week program so I'm still trying to tweek the volume.
I don't take 20-25 minutes to bench. I probably take somewhere around 12-15 minutes. I take short rest periods. On max day I take a little longer rest than on speed day but usually every 60- 75 sec I'm benching.
I think with conjugate, the only way they check if they progressed with a certain lift is when they come back around to it after how many weeks of different variables.
I don’t get it. So if u bench press one week. And the next week your bench pressing what do u mean my changin the mode? Doing incline or decline bench press as your main compound ?
What do you think about those that do 5s on the main lifts and then hit 6-12 on assistance/ supplement work? Can you effectively do strength and hypertrophy work in the same session?
Out of curiosity with y’all experience in lifting, how are you able to manage everything in 1 hour or yet 50mins? Im new to lifting and focusing on the basics and compound movement like back squat, trap bar deadlift, unilateral lunges, shoulder press, iso lat pull down and pull ups. That usually take me around 80mins including 15mins of warm ups. Its seems like you need to pick only 3 exercises for your main lifts on top of 15mins warm up to get it done within an hour. You also have to factor in availabilities of machine and equipment unless of course you have your own gym. Any thoughts? Many thanks
This is true even when doing running or jogging, you do the same thing everyday 8 to 10 weeks your body's going to be accommodated to doing just that and no more unless you add a different stimulus or take a nice break in-between and come back with a different stimulus
Space245 Man I agree, because his business is centred around conjugate method. Likewise Rippetoe wouldn’t recommend anything other than starting strength because he also has a business centred around it. I couldn’t give a fuck either way, so I’m giving non bias advice. SS best place to start. Conjugate method best place to end.
@@TheOlzee Yeah Mark's program, from what I heard also has great reviews and his book "Starting Strength" is definitely something im buying. I really wanted to hear Matts opinion on a novice program to follow but its probably one of his most frequently asked questions so I probably wont ahahah
Do you have any experience with elbow or knee tendinitis? Maybe a video on it I'm having some trouble with a knee and an elbow. I'm realizing it's not going anywhere unless I back off
stephen shaw the basic 5/3/1 doesn’t have enough volume in my opinion. the many other variations of the program makes it better but it’s still a cookie cutter program not focusing on your weaknesses.
How is someone wasting their time if their workout is longer than 60 minutes? Obviously the stronger u get the more time it takes to reach your working sets and therefore u need more time to do etc 5x5 squats followed by posterior chain assistance work etc.
what are you talking wasting time if you in the gym 2 hours lol.. lets say you bench press 10x2 first exsercise.. you need 5min rest between.. this is 1hour on 1st exsercise.. im always 3-4hours in the gym
The last 1 minute of this video is pure gold. I wish I had some of this knowledge years ago.

This is great content. Just started conjugate about 6 weeks ago after 2 years of 5’s. I like what I am feeling and seeing.
Still doing conjugate? I just started about 5 weeks ago myself
Awesome video! Great breakdown and understanding.

My whole life I have been stuck with 5's and the occasional 1-2 and am afraid I will never enjoy a 10... wait what was he talking about?
A 2 can be a 10 after enough drinks
@Tony Soza the joke flew over your head. He's referring to 2/10 women lmao
@Tony Soza
How's kindergarten school?
Asian women, he was referring to Asian women. Rucking moron.
The best kind of 10 are 5 2’s.

Smart info!

Do you find it hard to manipulate the law of progressive overload when always changing variables?
The overload should always be there, just switch up the form.
I think with conjugate, the only way they check if they progressed with a certain lift is when they come back around to it after how many weeks of different variables.
