Been running the AI program for 9 months now and just finished week 2 for the peak. Progress has been better then I had hoped for. As a 54 year old recreational lifter the AI has been incredible. Am using weights that I havent touched in over 25 years. Thank you so much
I'd like to see more of these to be honest. I think one of the things thats not talked more off is aging and training and how that affects the programs - its obviously parameterized in all of chads videos but I'd personally want to know (for selfish reasons) how 40 yo + program looks like vs 20 yo especially for volumes and recovery
Ending the most intense cut of my life and then on to my goal of benching 405. I've been able to maintain 365 singles once or twice a week while cutting. I look forward to trying a purposeful program such as is laid out. My only problem is a nagging upper back knot that travels to my neck. Any thoughts on if this has to do with the bench in terms of arching. I also bench with my head off the bench so maybe I need to hear from someone reputable that it's bad. Thanks for the video!
You could for sure. That is similar to a DUP setup, it could end up violating some directed adaption and phase potentiation principles but does prove to be effective for many.
Are the Low and High # of sets you mention relevant to the MEV and MRV #’s that you have in your programming manual or are these updated numbers based on your findings on users using the app?
If for example you are only aiming for 8-10 sets of bench per week, that is separate from accessory work correct? Or would u recommend not doing additional movements like dips or incline press after the comp bench?
@@jeancarloferreira9770 i would include any bench variations in the 8-10 sets, if you are loading dips heavy and doing similar rep ranges you would for bench, then count those too, if you’re doing them light for sets of 10+ reps then I’d just treat them as an accessory.
@JuggernautTrainingSystems anything I'm doing after bench I'm doing it as an accessory just for "pump" work really. I'm training recreational like power bodybuilding style. I'm not trying to progressive over load as with bench.
In your methodology chad, you don't seem to propose too strongly using accessories? Is that because it's so lifter dependent, and the main lifts are meant as you lay them out, to drive progress, in the absence of accessories? Apologies if this is something covered that I've missed
Accessories are useful for sure, especially the bench but they won't be the make or break in your success. Complimenting each bench session with some back, some shoulders, some triceps and a bit of biceps is helpful
There is certainly a reason for that, likely a combination of your individual characteristics (gender, age, size, strength, experience) indicating lower volume needs and then ratings indicating you needed less volume. If you think that you need more, in your initial questionnaire I would answer that you respond better to higher volume and recover well on the applicable questions.
@@JuggernautTrainingSystems I've been with the ai over a year and making progress so I'm sure it's a combo of all those things. I started out with much more than I'm doing now but I was dying. I was just surprised that the min was 6 on hyper but it has me on 5. But it's working so I'm happy lol.
this channel is criminally underrated
Agreed
I though this guy Bromley had more subs??
0:00 Intensity
3:14 Volume
9:46 Frequency / Split / Exercise Selection
21:30 Lifter B Example
25:41 Progression
thank u🥰

Love to hear it
A couple of weeks ago? The squat guide was a month ago. I was starting to get concerned. Also...this is the best Powerlifting channel on youtube.
Deadlift will be next week
@@JuggernautTrainingSystems haha. Well it's easy now you have the squat guide...
@@JuggernautTrainingSystems It's been nine days!
@@jackcunningham3401 production of all these videos at this quality takes time. They have plenty of books if you’re in a rush.
@@jackemarleeyoung You do a video!
I have just found you today. This video is so gold! Thanks. I need to contact you privately good sir
Hello 😊, can you please make article about How to design squat, bench and deadlift program?
I'd like to see more of these to be honest.

I have been on the search for a bench press powerlifting programmer. I found one . I am going to utilise the AI app immediately
Thank you
Would love a Deadlift one too
Coming soon
hey chad any videos from you about backdown sets, what are they and how to incorporate them into program?
look the video. he told why and how
If you train bench 3x times a week could one day you do hypertrophy the next day you do strength and the next you do say close to a pr?
You could for sure. That is similar to a DUP setup, it could end up violating some directed adaption and phase potentiation principles but does prove to be effective for many.
Is this bench programming applicable to the incline dumbbell bench press? (Minus the peaking phase)
Are the Low and High # of sets you mention relevant to the MEV and MRV #’s that you have in your programming manual or are these updated numbers based on your findings on users using the app?
Definitely updated, always updating.
When you have these A C B sessions, are you able to perform 2 of them on the same day? Or is this not recommended?
If for example you are only aiming for 8-10 sets of bench per week, that is separate from accessory work correct?
Or would u recommend not doing additional movements like dips or incline press after the comp bench?

Should shoulder press be counted in the total volume of bench press training?
Yes
Will there be a option on the JuggernautAI app to do a bench only programming?
Yes
I can't seem to find the proper hand placement where my right shoulder isn't sore
Generally a closer grip will stress the shoulder less than wider grips do
Tuck elbows
Tried to sign up and get the 2 week trial, but all I get is an error report.

@@JuggernautTrainingSystems cheers, I thought I hadnt seen a great emphasis by you on them, thanks for clearing up
Do I need to do decline or incline or is this sufficient? I have 365lb bench currently. Would be nice not to do the adjustments if not necessary.
TIL that there are people who do fewer than 30 sets of bench per week.
👍
Why are u and Bromley look a likes
AI has me lowest than the low volume :*(
There is certainly a reason for that, likely a combination of your individual characteristics (gender, age, size, strength, experience) indicating lower volume needs and then ratings indicating you needed less volume.
