Much like intelligence, truly strong fuckers will shine no matter what. From Greg Knuckols: *Westside and Sheiko are diametrically opposed systems, but both have produced absurdly strong powerlifters* Also Knuckols: *I ran a basic Westside Barbell template during those first few months back under the bar, since that’s what Travis introduced me to when I first started training, and it was what I was most comfortable with. That first year, I got my maxes back to around 450/365/550. After I had plateaued on the Westside template for a few months, I decided to give Sheiko a shot. The first month nearly buried me. However, after a four month run, my work capacity was through the roof (which I think is extremely important), and my maxes were around 545/400ish/605* Lots of ways to get strong.

1. Squat plug 2. Progressively overloading with them 3. Liquid chalk for the grip issues.

It is a shame that EliteFTS is so criminally underwatched, poor social media managment really nerfs their reach.

I just finished readin Dr. Mike's Scientific Principles of Strength Training. It is a great book, because it covers mostly the WHYs, instead of the HOWs of strength training. Some of the chapters were really eye opening, like the ones on fatigue management and SRA curves.

It’s nice to hear the differences in these types of programming broken down so well. The end goal is always the same and it’s wild to me how people seem to just pick a method of periodizing and become absolute ride or die fanboys. They’re all worth trying since you never know something doesn’t work for you until you’ve done it

the 3 main channels I watch wrapped up in 1. I have already watched the Dr Mike interview, but great to hear again. like bracing videos it reinforces things

Lol started watching this on 2x speed then Dave on your end sped up almost sounded like a chipmunk

that thumbnail is an absolute win

I'd like to see a conversation between Wenning and Isratel, I think it'd be fascinating to see them hash it out like actual professionals

A lot of parallels to my xc seasons. Base build over the summer with building up mileage and just a bunch of easy runs. Then more tempo (faster runs) and eventually speed work (400, 800, 1600 meter repeats). Finally, when we’re close to our most important race at the end of the season we pull back a lot of volume/mileage, add some pace work(a little faster than race pace), and that’s our peak.

The 'dumbest' training method is still absolutely crucial for a (good/progressing) novice. If you can get stronger by adding weight every workout, you have no business spinning your wheels in any other kind of program.

Your reflection on the things said in the clip really improved my understanding of it! Thx

If you haven't already, have you considered making a rubric(like the ones for school projects) for strength programs and posting in the community section of youtube.

Hell yeah this video broke it down for me in a logical perspective. My opinion the most needed video that you put out Bromster. I now know how i should be programing my "periodizations" this made complete sense. Good stuff as always thank you

I’m a simple F Three things? Significant effort, adequate nutrition and rest.

A large part of online criticism is based on what is seemingly "deliberate misunderstanding". RIP's SS is "starting" strength. GMAD was for a skinny skin and bones teen and it translates to EAT KID. Lou's you don't need quads for a squat did NOT mean if you were born without quads you can still squat, and LATS for the bench does NOT mean if you're pecs disappeared you can still bench maximal weights. Dave just matured into not arguing "conjugate" because it's just a waste of time. You either understand concurrency, OR you don't.

I've rewatched that entire episode many times, good idea on covering it 👌

Just found this channel, good content! I am in my first year of training and digesting lots of content from EliteFTS and Mike Izraetel, glad I found this channel too.

This is good shit. Definitely subbing to this channel

Simple principles. Good video

Thanks for sharing.

Pure gold!

Great video

Very nice breakdown and helped me better understand as im new to powerlifting with previous experience as a competitive bodybuilder. I just wonder my why all your videos breaking down anyone elses content, you always have to get in a few little condescending jabs. Its like you generally agree with most things but you dont want to seem too agreeable and have to ensure the viewer knows your the man! The powerlifting community seems to be a very petty bunch always looking to prove each other wrong

I can understand your response in the context of people who are so zealous about only doing one set as if the only way. But a couple things to consider with your counterargument and why going into bat for volume > intensity (at least that's how it came off because you didn't seem to properly explore the benefits of focusing on intensity): 1. You know that 80% of people seeking information on youtube are beginners/people just trying to get fit within reasonable timeframes around work/kids etc? So isn't messaging about how to get 50-60% of your gains in a shorter amount of time something that should be promoted? Instead of the "Do 20-40 working sets per muscle group per week" stuff that most people can't do/won't benefit as much from relatively?. 2: Even if people are progressing from beginner to intermediate and advanced, isn't it better that they start with quality over quantity and training with high intensity, keeping their technique good and strong. Then add volume as they need to get results? Too much fitness youtube messaging makes people feel like they necessarily have to do 3-5 sets per exercise and beginners all too often leave many reps in the tank (at 10-12 reps) just to get the volume measured by sets. Meaning they aren't upping the weight and maximally loading progressively. The research does show that even immediately trained people don't go as close to failure as they think (most have 4-5 reps left when they think they have only 1-2 left). And anecdotally, can you really say that most people in the gym really look like they're training intensely enough? A good bet as to why is that people get provided volume goals/targets and they focus on this as the primary driver for growth because that's what they're told by the fitness industry. Its a recipe for them not progressing despite a lot of time investment, so they quit.

Mike wrote this article (written by Greg nuckols) ?

The only 3 things you need are curls, exogenous testosterone, and curls.

the bill nye of weightlifting

I think the article you found is written by Greg Knuckles, not Mike. So I think you pulled uDifferent article than Mike was talking about

Thank you for your knowledge and videos USA 🇺🇸 USA 🇺🇸 USA 🇺🇸

😊

This guy is a little green behind the ears... Use some spill suppression on that shiny head :)

!!!

Dave Tate is one smart guy no wonder he brought up a equally smart guy like Andrew Tate

WTF going on with the speed up voices??

Lol have you got the 2 minute version or sumthing
