For the actual Google Sheets training overview, click here: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/...
Part 1 of this series: • What's the Difference ...
This review covers individualization, sex differences in training outcomes, long-term athletic development, basics of motor learning, and more, all in an attempt to speed up your skill acquisition and allow for an easier ramp into the sport. You'll notice the actual program includes more diverse movement selection, though we steer clear of Westside levels of kitchen-sink-ness. Everything is chosen for a specific reason, but there's enough room in there for flexibility.
An approach like this can be run for as long as you continue to make progress, but likely in the first 8 weeks, you'll need to begin by deloading, resetting, and continuing to train. Afterward, applying basic linear periodization to the reps and RPE (drop one rep per week on main lifts as you raise 0.5 RPE per week toward a peak condition) will allow you to continue to progress for a long time. You can even adjust the starting point of each new block down slightly in reps, where you might ultimately end a block with your first heavy singles (exciting!).
Further, keep in mind the notes on the individualization tab that will help you customize the training approach to your own unique physiology. Let me know your questions in the comments below.

What i love most is your tab in the spreadsheet where it gives actual classifications and rules based on progress. Instead of just saying "it depends" and "everyone responds differently". It really helps me out to have a kind of framework for this stuff. Thank you

This video is not good for someone trying to learn the initial basics of powerlifting. It’s good for those that are already in the sport and want to look back at the basics. Those trying to use this as guidance on the actual exercises need to skip the first half of the video as it’s mainly about the history of the sport and how it got to where it is.

I've started a new job at a supermarket. Some shifts I can be pushing trolleys which is essentially forward sled for up to 4 hours. I have to assume this would have an impact on my gym performance? I have one shift the day before my primary Squat day and another immediately after my primary deadlift day Would you recommend jigging the days around? Even if I'm not pushing trolleys I could be on my feet for 8 hours. Or even sitting at a till I'm feeling the burn in my shoulders.

I'm 68 and have been doing the power lifts for over forty years....I've noticed that gains no longer come easily if at all....and ihave lost strength after the pandemic ....I know I'm getting older ....should I just accept the fact as I age I should expect that strength will slowly decline

For someone who is 40 and out of shape, do you recommend a program or a period to “grow into” your beginner program?

@brycebyte Жыл бұрын

you should be able to start training without needing to wait or build into it. Simply adjusting the loads to scale to your capabilities will be enough. I do suggest one week where you perform training at a very light difficulty to make sure you don't get too sore right out of the gates, but otherwise have at it!

@Sundown17 8 ай бұрын

If you program de-loads after every block are you essentially going back to 0 fatigue after each block? At the end of a program do you just do another deload like all the other or would you do something more?

@brycebyte 8 ай бұрын

Good question! It's not that precise, but there is an effort to reduce fatigue while keeping fitness high. And total reduction of fatigue isn't the express goal, or you could just stop training entirely. You would do something similar at the end of a program as well. You can think of a deload more as a set of goals and not a specific implementation of sets, reps, and intensity.

@chronicell998 8 ай бұрын

If one of your clients came out of a 1 rep max attempt week and then felt great on week 1 of a new program, wave loading. But on week 2 they felt fatigued beyond belief - what would you do? Restart on a deload?

@brycebyte 8 ай бұрын

No sudden changes, just play things out. Use some autoregulation. If you notice this is a consistent pattern, maybe it's worth a slower introduction back into normal training with an easier Week 1. If they set a bunch of progress and you're using new maxes, maybe the loads were just too big of a jump?

This is in no way shape or form a beginners guide to starting powerlifting. This is a deepdive in the history and foundations of the sport. You couldnt of made a more complicated, misleading video if you tried.
