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!

@@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.

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.

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...

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.

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.

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!

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 adapted gymnastics exercises and made massive gains in power. I'm slender but I prefer it. It allowed me get the max out of my frame. I spent time living with a Shaolin monk and he taught me to instruct myself. Consistency is key.

This is awesome, I’m usually blank in the head during lifts and simple program would definitely be good

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.

Great video. I sent this to some of my friends and family who are hard to convince to start to do strength work Because they are intimidated by the programming aspect. 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 .

Great training layout Bromley. Infact, so great, that alot of naturals should probably just train this way ANYWAY. Honestly, most people will get to 90+ % of their potential with is.

*I genuinely love your videos like this, I think it has become the niche thing which has resulted in your channel's success. You show us real world people how we can train even in non-ideal circumstances. Most fitness channels show us the best workout for the ideal scenario, that of a professional athlete. So thank you* 🫡

I like mixing up going for weight increases and going lighter but really feeling the working muscles... stricter, less time between sets, etc. I have not followed a specific program in a long time, but train more instinctively. It works pretty well for me
