Yes, you are absolutely right. I don’t understand how these kids can do so much volume WITH heavy weights. Even though they are young they will still reach a plateau sooner rather than later. I’m 49 and I recently cut the volume on the compound movements down about one third. Instead I do a lot of volume ( but not ridiculous volume) on the accessories.

@@GDoggy-em2xc The do reach a plateau and complain. Upon discussion with him I learn his diet is crap. He doesn’t drink near enough water and eats rubbish, like honeybuns and peanut butter crackers for lunch.

How much volume would you recommend?

@@goncalopereira8267 Well, there is no magic number/ one size fits all. You have to find what works best for you. You’ll know if you have too much volume when you are sore for more than 2 days and fatigued. For me, I’m doing about 4-5 heavy sets when I go heavy. I can do 3-4 exercises per muscle group per day. Any more than that is too much and I definitely feel it because my recovery takes too long.

i make way better gains cutting my volume from 15 sets each muscle to 6. all to 0 rir. and i am in my 20s

That’s the way to do it!

Love it cool 😎

hey

Agreed. Need more recovery depending on life circumstances, age, stress, sleep, nutrition etc

You mean 3x5s of every compound movement twice a week? How do you do that?

@@s9209122222 squat, press, and deadlift one day second day is squat, bench, and deadlift. Deadlifts are 1x 5

EZ CLAP. Id say max that squat out then get some 10 x 20 in for the volume.

Better get on GOMAD for that shit

Wait another 4 years as your tendons haven't developed yet

20 reps with BWT maybe. I'm 82 and do a set of BWT for warmups. I promise, you will hurt yourself trying to do 20 reps with much weight. It is just not worth it. Listen to mark. I am as hardheaded as anyone alive. I learned this the hard way. Triples work for me, and I have been lifting for over 60 years. Deadlifts, sometimes a couple of singles.

Respect!

😂

🤣🤣🤣

No 💩 Sherlock! WTF is he thinking?

That’s great to hear! It gives me hope at 49 that I’m not done!

If you could squt 400 for 5 but instead do 200 for 10, Wouldn't that work a different energy system? And if so, then wouldn't it trigger a different adaptation? I'm just spit balling her. I don't know. I would imagine it would be more of a cardio like stress, makingit difficult for someone who is older to recover. Most of that demographic is trying to keep muscle and bone density anyway. I would imagine that lifting for fewer reps at a heavy load would be sufficient to meet that need.

All doctors give that same "safe" advice.

Israeli special forces martial arts. If I remember correctly.

@Quentin Styger hahaha

Yes. Krav is fake. If it worked ufc fighters would be using it. Ufc fighters can grab your balls and gouge your eyes more effectively as well, should they so desire

High risk of injury while conjuring a false assumption of proficiency? Yeah

its jeet kune do 2.0 . In other words: it looks impressive to people who dont know what they're looking at, and the culture is all about certificate collection and guruism as opposed to learning about anything to do with actual violence.

How do you know this?

@@EugeneMatlin good one haha

@@chrisding7419? Answer the question

@@chrisding7419 Yea answer the question.

Chris, you do realize that what you said is exactly the opposite of what Rippetoe just said, right?

Im 62 and run a 4 day upper lower split over 9 days - MWFS, etc. I keep lower body reps from 1-5 and upper body from 3-8. Everyone has to figure this out on their own taking all other outside factors into consideration (sleep, work, family, nutrition).

@@johnbackos5192 Pretty much what I was doing at 68 and didn't really feel I was over training. I continued to gain strength and muscle mass albeit at a much slower rate than when younger. But I am experimenting with doing deadlifts and squats only once a week to see if perhaps I can get away with doing less while still getting similar results.

CrossFit, bu default, is always the problem

@@xalian17 Not when it's looked over and modified by a PT, which my gym is.

@@magnus5356 ok...

@@magnus5356 “modified by a PT” lol. Throw that opinion in the garbage

Loser 😂

you are not surviving on human blood aren’t you

Yeah, it’s fine. You are obviously doing something right if you’re still going at age 400. I’m only 225 years young.

@@GDoggy-em2xc 🤣

Over 50

Yep sounds like me 59 going to be 60 in Nov 21

He also primarily trains guys using steroids.

Louis doesn’t lift anymore. 🤷‍♂️ even with the extensive chemical support. His heart can’t take it. Lou also doesn’t want you to do heavy sets across. Two heavy lifts a week.

You realize Rip is on steroids, right?

@@ianmcstruthers9937 testosterone replacement is all he has ever said he uses.

@@DenJSmith LOL Ok... you realize testosterone replacement means you're taking testosterone? and you can find a doctor to prescribe you as much as you want... how is that different from taking steroids? Furthermore, he definitely took stuff when he was younger for non-replacement reasons, he has alluded to it in various videos.

Prove it

As an older guy exactly the opposite is true.

Older people need relatively heavier weights, more intensity. Born 87? You aren’t even old yet 😂

@@HAL-dm1eh kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fZ2AddeLv8mvj4E.html

@giri kotte By that logic, we should all be doing 8-12 reps instead of 5 to get strong. Even mainstream bro lifters know it's lower reps for strength.
