Cns fatigue is mostly a broscience thing lol. It's only a real thing in ultramarathon runners. What people think is cns fatigue when lifting is simply lack of recovery of the muscles themselves. Your not "frying" your cns by exerting yourself for maybe 15 total minutes of actual lifting time.

Rippetoe would say this program is trash for three reasons: - you're training every day with no days off to recover, leaving your body with no time to recuperate and grow - being 5x5 instead of 3x5 you're adding more work, which (along with the lack of rest days) means you have to train with less weight than your possible maximum, just to keep up with the volume of training you're doing - because of these two reasons, you're not pushing your body against it's ceiling of growth as much as you could, and you're also stunting your recovery. Essentially, you're wasting effort. In short: YNDTP, SS + GOMAD

I’ve been squaring every workout day the last 3 months and it’s been helping me a lot. I do full body each day. Been lifting for years and I’ve done the chest day, leg day….etc. I’ve also done an upper and lower split. Got bored of both of those types of splits. So I decided to change it up a bit. With the full body workouts each day I’ve hit a squat PR each month. Was finally able to hit 315 lb on my squat. It’s different for each person. Squatting everyday will not work for everyone. But I do recommend it, it really pays off.

It’s a little annoying to log everything but it’s nice when you haven’t done a variation in months and you have some idea of where you were and where you should be. Ideally you’ll start near as strong and then surpass your previous records. I’ve been researching Conjugate a lot recently and i guess that’s the whole idea behind it.

Just getting back in to working out after a few years of laziness My routine is 4-5 days a week, 3-7 mile run then rep pyramid squats at 225lbs no weight change during workouts just longer or faster runs and add to the rep pyramid or do it with less rest my best workout so far was 6 mi hr and rep pyramid up to 15 which is 120 reps nothing crazy just routine. been adding lan average of 10 lbs every 2 to 3 weeks and resetting the rep pyramid to 10 or 12 and working to the previous rep max or higher rep max. takes like 75 minutes usually pretty solid. The squat rep pyramid is nice to because its acts as a cooldown for the run in the beginning and warm up for higher reps in the pyramid. set 20 is like 200+ total reps so whatever the weight your gettin it.

Nuts! Speaks of your fitness and how advanced you were to be able to train like that. I kinda symphatise with the not tracking everything and writing it down. Like you have your plan that has a method and pattern and logic, then you just do it. You autoregulate as you should anyway and outside that, there's no real reason to micromanage the plan all the time. If you spend 30-60 minutes a day just thinking about your program that you're still gonna execute in a similar way, stressing out about your training instead of trusting the plan and spending the time recovering, I'm of the opinion that neurotic overfocus is a negative. That's the whole reason you constructed the plan: that you have a plan that you follow and trust, and focus in just training. You're doing something wrong if you put effort into making a whole plan and daily spend time managing it. Like how tough is it to remember where you started/did last week and adding 5 kg and doing another 5x5. And if it feels off, not going as high that day. I'm definitely one of those who easily go too far with things and obsess over details unnecessarily, it took time to learn that "just doing it" is like 90% of the results if you have the basics correct (which isn't that difficult to get), the rest is rather subjective differences in training styles. Funnily enough I as a very casual lifter also really found, to my surprise, higher frequency squatting was enjoyable and effective. High reps/higher volume wasn't as much to my liking as higher frequency. Or should I say higher frequency training, I think I squatted three times a week (which was an increase to me) and bicycled a lot during that time. I imagine it was a similar experience to being advanced and starting to squat five times a week. I feel like everyone should at least once experiment with their training frequency to find out their limits and what feels good to them. Higher frequency definitely keeps your technique fresh and might allow you to lower the absolute load. On the contrary it can become taxing to joints and other tissues around the muscles. I can't say anything with confidence, but seeing what your friend's elbows did when squatting, it's not a total surprise an injury happened with very intense training. If Sika Strength or Squat University has taught me anything.

I enjoy seeing programs like this because it is a reminder that you can do some truly wild shit and make great progress. You can squat every day or once a week, or even once every 2 weeks and still make gains. It's highly idiosyncratic. Science based lifting is great, but it has not come even remotely close to exploring all the possibilities of training. That's why I think it's good to explore some crazy stuff at least once in your lifting career.

Not Clarence but I’m taking my 1st cycle so I’ll try to answer your question best I can. TRT doesn’t help too much (with recovery) but a 300mg light cycle definitely does (what I’m doing). You can up the frequency and feel just as recovered. Obviously you can’t go crazy, those RPE 10 sets still take A LOT out of you, but I feel like I could add in an extra 3x5 at RPE 8ish and feel just as recovered while making more progress. You can also do more accessory work (more sets) as long as the RPE is reasonable. However you are more likely to get injured. Moving around heavier weights all the time is guaranteed to get you injured, it’s just a matter of when. I got 2 minor tears in 8 weeks after only every tearing something once as a natty. Hope that helps brotha

@@sevensevenalways7995 I already could do 150kg for 5, maybe not for 5 sets. At some point, you can't increase the weight as much as Clarence did.

@XoratorPL bro, you may be a little slow but I’m hoping it’s not that, it’s just that you have already reloaded and are back at the high frequency and effort Take a big break between bouts of this stuff

Currently squatting 3x per week and it’s been excellent for me. I can squat 245kg so I’m not great but I’m decent.

Were you doing any other lifts besides these 3 on the spreadsheet?

5x5 of RPE 8-9.5 sounds gruelling to me. Did you ever dread going to the gym on training days because of that particular line?
@number1gstar3 ай бұрын
I’ve been doing 5x5 rpe 9 for the past few months. Every squat session is a mental battle before coming to the gym and during every set.
@ictogon2 ай бұрын
Does that mean RPE 9 on each set? I don't get how that works, I could probably do two sets at that level, then I'll just be fucked and do like 4 3 2 reps on the next 3

I think increasing volume is the last thing one should do for long term strength gains. It's not smart! Making progress is all about getting out of ones comfort zone by exerting more stress than before and recover from it. This could be done in many ways. More load (intensity), more work (volume), or a combination of both are the most common approaches. Things like more exercise variation, more power/speed are less common. Increasing volume is for sure the easiest progression.. and for sure the worst!

Me who can be sore for 5 days from just 3 sets of squats + 4 more extra quad sets....... I would literally lose muscle if I followed this program....

That’s so many reps of squats. That’s so much more practice than folks who squat once a week.

hey Clarence hope u r doing well. I noticed something that in the earlier part of ur video at about 18 years old while squatting ur right arm seems to be too far back out compared to the left, while in ur later years ur stance is much more symmetrical. did u do anything to fix it or it happened just like that?

12:13 i think its because u guys used highbar, i ahd the same issue when squatting high bar the only thing that would make me stronger was higher frequency but whenever i do lowbar i can squat once per week and get stronger. I think its because the muscles u use to move the weight are so different and have different needs asking John Haack about this would be interesting since hes so strong and does highbar
