Hey Alex , I reckon you should get a video out there about shoulder injuries/ overuse injuries and how you’ve kept your shoulders so strong and healthy for so long while you’ve pressed heavy for so long successfully , I struggle massively with chronic shoulder pain like tendinitis or bursitis even though I really do keep my form 100% clean all the time but as soon as I start putting in rpe8 effort or above I run into pain that puts me out ! Surely im not the only one who wants to know how you ohp so much with little to no injuries!

Glad you put this out. "Optimization Culture" is a real thing that we all get hung up on, and makes us feel like if we're not "maximizing gains" then we're just wasting time. I work full time with 3 kids. 1hr full body 3x/week is about the max I can push it for time and it's very effective. Maybe I'm only hitting 90% of my potential, but that's still an A in my book.

Minimalist Training is an absolute GODSEND for those of us with actual commitments outside the gym. It's also a great way to get people into lifting, it's actually how I got my daughter into it. Once they've been on a minimalist program for a while they can choose to go more hardcore from there, but it's a great way to get started.

@@incorectulpolitic didn't expect to get into a discussion about God on a Powerlifting/Strongman channel, but I'm here for the smoke. Your stance is based upon a fallacy that people against their will get sent to Hell. On the contrary, God so loved the world that he sent Jesus to die for our sins, granting those who believe in him eternal life (John 3:16). Not only did he send Jesus to pay the price we couldn't pay, but he sent Jesus to do works for the sole purpose of us believing ( John 20). Furthermore, it is not the will or desire of God that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance and belief (2 Peter 3:9, Mark 1). However, in order for love to be love, it must be a choice. God chose to love us, but we must also choose to love and believe in him. His choice was already made at the cross, our choice must be made today. We can choose to believe & therefore be granted eternal life in Heaven, or we can choose not to believe, and be given Hell. The ball is in your court, you have a choice, but once you make your choice you have to deal with the consequences. Jesus lived the life you and I couldn't live, he became the sacrifice that we couldn't become, paid the price we couldn't pay, and gives us the right to have eternal life. But he doesn't force that upon us. We must willingly choose Him. That's what love is.

@@richardcaraballo1185 The worst thing one can do is bring another human into this hell we call life. There is no worse crime than bringing a child into this existence full of evil. When you give birth to a child you are basically allowing them to be potentially harmed by the all of the immoral monsters that inhabit this prison plane of existence. By giving birth you are putting your child at risk for being a victim of a rapist, murderer, abuser, etc. The breediots who force these potential risks upon their children without their consent are clearly immoral bastards who have no legitimate consideration for the well-being of their children. Religious nutcases’ ‘logic’: "Everyone is born a sinner " "Sin is what causes us to suffer" "Let's be fruitful & multiply to create countless suffering sinners" Humans are born with sin. Sin is bad. Is it a good thing to create more sin through breeding like animals? Gawd: Hates sin more than anything bc it's against his nature (but he still kinda created it oops) Also Gawd: makes a rescue plan that doesn't even get rid of sin and expects all of humanity to kiss his ass for it (or burn in all eternity) Yeah no thank you.

Nice timing! I just got my wife started on a 'minimalist' routine. Tried to get her going on all the useful compounds (absolutely full ROM) with a few key isolations that she's weak in. Hip hinge first (DB RDL, back extension, etc), then chest press + machine row superset, machine squat with moderate stance + standing calve raise superset, lat pulldown + shoulder press superset, and some hip adduction / abduction to help get her hips going (until squats more or less cover this). Might add arms in much later, but I wanted to get her started on a low volume program (2 sets of each per workout, eventually 3) that was extremely simple (mostly all machines) and she can work up from there at her pace. Suggested using 10-12 reps with double progression as a starting point.

Bromley had a great vid on how and why he was using a variation on the Greyskull LP to return to form! I believe the tl;dr was that you can build capacity (especially b/c of the AMRAP set) and sharpen up (with the loads growing as your skill grows), so when the LP peters out you'll have reliable top-set and rep numbers to build a program around

I specialize in clients with manual labor jobs. I will say that it depends on the type of manual labor and energy systems involved, repetitively stressed areas, etc.. each tissue group needs to be addressed strategically. Exercise selection needs to accommodate both the labor job and performance goals concurrently so most of the lifting needs to be extremely high stimulus to fatigue. Barbell training needs to be maximized based upon available fatiguability and then adjusted by trimming its volume based on [edit:misspell] how fatiguing the work day was

No- you will have 2 working sets per exercise total. You work up to 1 "top set" of 3-6 reps; after that you perform AMRAP at 90% of the top set weight (as many reps as possible).. For example: you warmup squat and keep adding weight until you hit a 5 rep set that feels like you could only do 2 more reps. That is the "Top Set". You pull of 10% of the weight and hit the AMRAP. (The rep count of the Top Set depends on your preference and if you are doing the general, strength, or hypertrophy model).

Based on rel. intensity tables, top set of 6 @ RPE 8 should yield a back-off AMRAP at 11 reps. 3 @ RPE 8 would yield a back-off AMRAP of 9 reps. Using those rep goals for progressing the top set seems like a really good way of autoregulating. Your hypertrophy variant seems like an improvement on a lot of the LP programs - even better than the greyskull approach with the + set at the end. I think that approach would prevent a lot of newbies from overreaching... maybe use top triples to progress the DL and top 6's for everything else...

I do this workout twice a week and went from 140lbs to 200lbs in 4 years - Lateral raises for 1 minute 30 seconds, 20 pull ups, bar hang for 30 seconds, 3 sets squats, 3 sets dumbbell presses, 1 set hammer curls, 1 set bicep curls, 30 crunches. The workout takes about 40 minutes to do in my studio apartment. I was around 200lbs and 8% bodyfat when I was 25 years old at 6'2". From around age 27-37 I had an illness and was working 50 hours a week so I didn't work out as much and lost most of my muscle mass. I let myself get down to around 140lbs. Now I'm in my 40's and don't want to go to the gym 6 days a week the way I did in my 20's and that's why I do a full body workout twice a week. I'm closer to 15% bodyfat now but it's better than being 140lbs.

I feel as if this program has even more applications beyond being for lifters constrained by time. It can be for lifters who want to dedicate more to cardio or conditioning, lifters who really want to push certain accessories, or even just as a general cutting program. As you suggested it can be used to re-sensitize yourself to volume as well so when you do start blasting, you'll really take off. Would you suggest ever deloading on this program or does it become less necessary?

I travel a lot for work and its ramping back up nowadays to pre-covid consistency, so there are definitely periods of time where I have to kind of go with minimalism. I usually just find a local gym, maybe even a crossfit place since theres one everywhere and do some big barbell movements and call it a day. My typical workout while I'm away is just a simple barbell and a mix of OHP/Push Press, Back squat, RDL's, Rows, etc, and if there are dumbbells I'll throw in some skullcrushers/extensions and curls/lateral raises. I always bring a band with me wherever I go just in case since I can use that for prehab stuff wherever (I like to do a lot of pull-aparts, and the like due to iffy shoulders over the years). This is usually enough to keep practically all my strength up until I'm back at home.

How many sets?
@breedingpitmetal
@breedingpitmetal 11 ай бұрын
I'm sorry if this is a dumb question and maybe I just missed the really obvious answer but: how many SETS would you actually be doing in each of these sessions? a single working set + a single amrap of each excercise? even by minimalist standards, this seems to be a crazy low amount of volume

Low volumes are still effective for some gains. The newer research shows gains as low as one rep per week, obviously not the ideal or optimal amount, but a few sets is still effective for maintenance at the very least.

My workouts are always short. To help with that I tend to superset a triceps exercise immediately after my bench and a bicep workout directly after my rows, then take a break before hitting the two exercises again. The big lifts do a nice job of wearing out my arms so I don't require as many reps to get them worn out.

Question: What does Top6 or Top3-6 precisely mean? Can you give an example for squats please. I'm familiar with RPE and AMRAP, I also think I know what "top-sets" are but I fail to understand the part about "Progression" starting at 19:08. I didnt understand what Top6 means in the context of your program. (For example I squat with 120kg on week1 and I can do 6-6-6 reps RPE8-> Week 2 I increase weights and can only do 6-6-5 RPE9..now I shouldn't increase the weights until I can finish 6-6-6 RPE8 again?) A small example to understand the different progressions would be very helpful, thanks :) "Top" really confuses me (never heard about it in germany) Help much appreciated, thanks a lot in advance!
@MrYouDougTube
@MrYouDougTube Жыл бұрын
I think Top3-6 means "one set of 3 to 6 reps (your chioce)" If you want a bit more hypertrophy, work up to a top set of 6 at RPE 8, then drop the weight 10% and do As Many Reps As Possible (AMRAP) - so only two work sets per lift. If you are focused more on strength, then do your RPE 8 set at only 3 reps or 1 rep.

Okay so its completly bullshit that he calls it Top6, it just means "warmup-sets, then a single set of 6" - basically a fancy way to write 1x6

I don’t even think it’s about improving continuously. Sometimes if you are used to only doing Dumbell workouts and now you go to the barbell. Or to the kettlebell. Or to resistance bands. This change usually humbles you a bit either in strength or endurance or both. But makes the workouts more interesting and keeps it fresh. Thanks r]for this video and perspective.

Part of that intimidation stems from what they see myself doing instead of imagining something that is tailored to their needs and limitations.

Awesome explanation. I truly believe that we don't have to spend 2 hours in the gym doing uncesessary moves but we should be prioritizing heavy compounds. Even before I followed your vids I was already doing minimalist barbel and anecdotally I can say really progressed faster than when I did uncesessary accessories moves. Keep up the vids 👍👍

Minimalism is a big deal for those of us that do other sports. If have to do 45 hrs carpentry a week. Pluss I want at least one BJJ class and at least one kick boxing class a week. But still want to get bigger and stronger well then I have to be efficient. I only train one weight session a week and supplement it with Push ups . That Saturday sesh is hard . 1 worm up set . Then a set with weight that forces failure between 8 and 12 reps. Followed by a heavier one forcing failure at 4 to 6 reps . I do that for every exercise Squat , bench, deadlift, snatch , overhead press, pull ups . Pull overs crucifix , lat raises, bicep and tricep curls. Go up 2kg every week. With all the other activities it's more than enough for me .
