Matt wenning, I've been watching you for a couple months now and I absolutely vibe with what you say, understand it completely and agree with it also. I think you and stan efferding are the absolute best. I'm 34, 6'1" 275 from Elkhart indiana, been lifting on and off for a while but started watching you and now completely dedicated to becoming competitive. I'm raw, I've been training again since June 15th, I'm benching 425, deadlifting 655 and squatting 645 with wraps. I'm shooting for what ever weight gets me the strongest. I'm hoping to break out of where I'm at in my life and I will, just know you've really helped me lock in and make this choice. Remember the name I'm coming for sure. When I get there I'm signing up with you or stan efferding. Thanks brother.

Recovery is key. Too many people have the drive to push it hard in the gym, but not enough will to take a rest day and back down from heavy weights.

Strength + brains = Matt Wenning

Everytime I listen to these videos I automatically get in the mood to go to the gym an lift.

Your handwriting is surprisingly nice! :p

Great breakdown. Simple understanding. Awesome information!

Found this guy off a Stan Efferding video and this guy knows what's up... Educated on this obviously but great presentation and resourcefulness to make these vids quality. Not to mention neat hand writing and he's left handed... keep it up Wenning Strength.

Exactly what I do. DL/Bench tues/fri. (Only bench tues). Sq wed-lighter/higher reps Sq sat-heavy singles/doubles Thurs/sun accessory. Works a treat.

Great video. The problem I can think of is that it gets really difficult to track progressive overload. Picking rep targets and selecting weights with the constant variation seem to be a challenge as well but I assume that gets easier with experience.

Great explanation of conjugate. As complicated as it can be, I’m finding the more I learn then implement the more I understand it. My main confusion still lies in CNS recovery. If I’m sub-maxing lower one day and the next day my program calls for sub-maxing upper, how the hell is my CNS recovered? Has it recovered “enough” in 24 hours?

Great video 💪 this is really informative gold

Very nicely explained!

love this content you consistently put out. I eat up anything you put out, much like stan efferding. youre the shit

Great stuff

I’m going to have to watch that again 👍🏼

Bout to do my first wenning warm up tomorrow morning before my max effort squats. Can’t wait to see how they improve my max effort lift!

Best explanation I have seen

Great stuff Matt

Great video!!!!!

Whats youropinion onthe trap bar Mr Wenning.. Love all your top class knowledge & enthusiasm.

Hi Matt, I recently came across you in a Stan Efferding video, so I thought I'd check out your channel .... I like what I see.

Love the shirt matt i love orange... how can i get one

Also, wanted to note, how many people I’ve talked to about conjugate method, they all seem to laugh it off like it’s a garbage system. Feel like they’re just lazy. Don’t wanna put in the time to learn about how much better it is than linear progression!

Always good advice

Delightful

Extremely helpful video

I don't know why the hell you're giving this information away for free. Fantastic information

Dynamic effort makes little sense to me because I have never seen anyone move a maximum lift at an accelerated rate of speed. So I don’t see how lifting light translate to moving extremely heavy weight quickly. I’ve tried Max effort/dynamic effort training in the past and didn’t see any benefit. Basics is what works best for me

Would using this conjugate style of training be good for fat loss or increasing general fitness for personal training clients? Or is this style of training more focused on strength athletes and power athletes?

Hey Matt I’m curious if you guys ever implement training BELTLESS on the majors while still trying to hit the 70-80% range.... I’ve been back at the gym for about 6 -7months consistently now ...... and I actually feel STRONGER beltless while still hitting decent numbers.... especially on bench...... this is also because I’m FAT from my strongman days so it was part preference / comfort.... part strategy.... Just wondering if u have ever felt stronger BELTLESS ?? ..... 💪🇺🇸

Is the repetition method too much for lower body Jm blakley used it for bench 6x6-8x8-10x10 But never seen it done on lower days instead of dynamic

Just to clarify sir, so its 72hours..so if i did sq or dl on fri..i need 72hours again..so it will be on monday right? I dont have to follow the same day that i started squatting or deadlifting which was on tue..right?

You hear coaches talking about there athletes doing 1 rep max/strength in the morning and speed power in evening, I know this can be done for only a short cycle but does one method improve the other or is this just for an over accumulation pre comp??

The biggest issue I run into is programming high intensity days with squat and deadlift. Doing them on separate days seems have them conflict with each other and hurt recovery. Doing them together seems like one usually suffers and/or the session is just a bit too intense if I’m trying to really push the weight up. How do you manage the two big lifts giving them equal attention to train concurrently?

facets not faucets. Thank you. Love your work

Md now I need a 9 day week. 😝 Been lifting about 21 years but I guess I over train maybe. I bench Monday Wednesday and Friday close to max each time also. 😬 I am the only heavy lifted in the gym and lone lifter. Once every few months one the young college kids come in and lift about the same. I get asked all the time what I do to lift heavy but I really don’t have any advise except hand placment and leg drive and shoulder blades. Anyway I always implement what I learn and you have good information as usual. I’ll try some techniques.

Just couple of days and I am going to sign up on patreon channel

what would eric bugenhagen think of the 72hr rule? haha

Have you done a video on dynamic effort?

If the first week you train SQ for the whole week then the next week you do DL for the whole week is it okay to have a full week gap in between DL and SQ?

So if you do Max effort on Sunday or Monday for chest and wait 72 hours to do dynamic would about the lower body exercise can you do Max effort on chest and upper body from Monday and a Max effort for legs and back on Tuesday? That's the trick because you're doing 2 days in a row of Max effort one day for upper and 1 day for lower and then dynamic for upper said me 2 hours later and the next day lower

Matt, Glad to see you cleaned the language in video.

Is it normal for squats at 75,80,85% (3-2x8-12) with straight weight to fry my CNS way more than banded squats at the same percentages. My dynamic days with straight weight have been really taxing on me recently

Does the 72 hour rule still apply if you’re going for more of a hypertrophy focus

What about elite Olympic lifters who can squat up to 15xper week according to Poliquin?

Have you any idea of how many times you say ‘what does that mean?’ Good God man watch your videos!

I had to click on this one because of the thumbnail . Matt post thumbnail with a woman struggling with unstable weight in a very weak position trying to overhead press! Roflmao!

Multiple faucets? You meant facets.

💪💪💪💪💪

Bump

💪👍

Wenning is like a PHD version of Louie Simmons... great information but I don't have to replay sections multiple times because I didn't understand something

Yo I’m not sore as I use to get when I started. What can I do?

I just realized I’m a moron

Can’t wait for a raw peaking program...

Cant pass this up....conjugal training doesnt require weights...LOL.

Wow I actually thought my conditioning wasn't very good for my squatting and deadlift, I physically can't do them more than once every 72 hours because I get so incredibly sore.
