Thanks for posting! As a former track athlete, current stength and [sports] conditioning coach, I can completely relate to "undertraining". Just recently (4 months) have I put aside most of the conditioning compontents of my program and clients' programs to focus more on strength progression. If it wasn't for watching you and Barbell Medicine, I'd still be stuck in this several year long rut. Your video on why coaches need coaches is spot on from a few weeks ago. I needed to take strength training more seriously. I don't know why, but my problem was being caught up in the hustle of running all over from client to client (or athlete), full time corporate fitness job, and teaching additional specific classes. I should never have put my personal goals and improvement aside. All your material is helping me become a better coach. The answer truly is to simplify and stick to the basics. For anyone, whatever their sport - you can always add conditioning and specific movements when they are needed for competitions. You need to start with strength as your base.

[@nathankelley1466]

I am not currently powerlifting, because I may need some minor knee surgery done soon, but I recently have been training more frequently. I have been doing one exercise per body part each day in a 4 day on 1 day off training scheme, so every 5 days I am starting over. I have made just as much progress or more doing it this way. I do not do the same exercises each day though. I will do decline bench one day one day, incline the next, wide chest dips one day, and incline squeeze presses on day 4. I do variations on all other lifts as well. I am 47, so I wouldn't say that this scheme is overly hard for most. Granted I am not powerlifting right now, so I went with this 5 day cycle for 8 rotations. The first 4 rotations I was doing a set of 20, then a set of 15, to finish my 3rd set with 12 reps. Then the last 4 rotations I reduced my reps to 15, 12 and 10. I know this is more of a size routine, but I am 47 and at my age it is more important to me to look good and well trained and to feel well. I actually did add some noticeable mass and since I train almost every day I do have a more trained type of feeling if that makes sense. Also minor aches like elbow pain has not increased, but decreased a little. I am going to shorten my rotation in my next workout plan to 3 days on 1 day off for a while. Not because this current one killed me, but rather because it is just a good idea to change the routine within a month and a half. So basically I didn't have to increase my intensity since I train so often. I still have the benefits of a decent amount of volume, without killing myself then having to take longer to heal up. So I agree with Allen's methods, while not doing the same type of training. Instead of killing your chest and not coming back to it for days while it heals, just train more frequently. I imagine if you are an athlete, and do other things as well, like running, wrestling, or martial arts for instance, you do not want to train for those things while your chest or another muscle group are in an extreme soreness stage. I only get sore maybe once a week, and it is usually because I increased weight on shrugs or something like that. Sorry I am so long winded, but training with weights more frequently really works. I also keep my routines to around 1 hour to an hour and a half. Thanks Allen for all your good advice, even though I already figured this one out.

[@pfunkle]

I think Alan fixed my squat. I didn't know it needed fixing either. Always squatted with a high bar position (it just makes sense if you put a bar on your back) but my actual squat was more of a lowbar squat. Squat is my favorite barbell exercise and I thought I was okay at it. After watching an Alan tutorial, I realized I was having balance issues, unnecessary back soreness, and my form actually sucked. I tried low bar position last week and holy mother of GOD. I feel perfectly balanced, my back doesn't hurt after I squat and I'm really happy with my progress. Thank you, Alan.

[@TheEnrieb]

I respect your honesty and ability to admit and learn from mistakes, so that we can learn too. The body cannot distinguish between forms of stress, physical or mental stress it takes it out of you. Hard training takes a lot out of you whether that's a PB benchpress or 2000 press ups in a day, or Squat PB or a box jump PB. Guy told me one time, you have a training bank account and you can only spend so much a day before becoming overdrawn. You can overspend todays gains by borrowing from the next days session, but once you get into a debt training cycle it can be hard to get out. By building up your training capacity overtime you can increase the amount you can sustainably spend each day, perhaps using your training overdraft for a competition or a PB. By going into your overdraft for day to day sessions you are constantly playing catch up and you keep trying to train harder because you are getting weaker. I imagine I have 10 training coins and I can spend them on a few exercises, so maybe I spend 5 on squats, 3 on bench, then 2 on weighted pull ups, theres no point me spending an extra 1 or 2 on sprints, box jumps or something random that puts me into a training debt. Maybe with my 10 coin training capacity I might only spend 8 coins one day, that might free me up to spend 12 another day. Over the long term, if I train right I should build up my training capacity so that I can move more weight for my coins. Of course i could also create more coins but that would lower the value of my training intensity (see federal reserve) It's so easy to fall into the over-training trap no matter how much experience and knowledge you have, especially with all the assistance exercises that we all try. It's also important to try different methods to try and stay ahead of the game, if we just did the basic tried and tested programs then everyone would probably get really consistent gains but no-one would excel without trying new methods which is what the top coaches and athletes do to stay ahead, the sports science literature just confirms what worked 10-20 years ago, the cutting edge trainers are trying new stuff all the time. Some people respond differently to different programs. I would say for 80 percent of the training programs I have tried many of them get me moderate results, then maybe 10 percent don't work for me and actually make me worst, the other 10 percent of gave me significant improvements, but what works for me might not work for someone else. It's always good to have someone look at your training methods and give feedback

[@reinerheiner1148]

There is at least one factor Alan has not mentioned. He reduced volume. This means he deconditioned his body from strength training. This means that a new cycle with more volume was even more productive as his body was not used to it. When the next plateau happens, increase volume, if that does not help, deload, and start over.

[@StrongButAwkward]

The frequency, tiers of lift variation and arrangement across the days of the week are striking similar to the "generalized intermediate program" from RTS. One benefit of that period of varied training is you probably built up a really high work capacity, which is probably proving pretty useful now.

[@TheRagingSasquatch]

Alan, so my program is a 3x10 everyday on smith machine bicep curl with resistance bands added to help pull the weight up,without changing the weight, which is already submaximal. I recommend it to get very strong

Good stuff. I follow an upper lower split. Bench/rows/incline bench/pull-ups/flys for upper Squat and deadlift for lower. Putting all available effort into my main lifts has seen them skyrocket. I used to too far too much variation always hunting for a weakness to train. I figure the best way to get better at the movement is to just do more of the movement.

i'm nearly 62 old and have trained for 20 years in preparation for a couple of sports and a job. I gave the Barbell Medicine training method 12 weeks with 1 break of a week. My body could not recover and lost mobility. There were strength gains in both weight and reps, which is why i kept pushing. But the increasing loss of flexibility and soreness forced me to stop. Open to your thoughts.

[@sumsar01]

Probably too much too early. If you haven't done the bridge you could to that first or just do the 12 week program with only 3 training days as talked about in the program. I think there's also a mention about what older people can do to handle it better in the intro to the program. But it is pretty rought. If 24 years and currently finishing my first run through and it's killing me as well. You might also be overshooting the RPE. I had that problem as well. If your feeling a bit beat up it might be better to shoot the RPE a half point to low than a half point to high.

[@thetruth5232]

To productively train with high volumes and high frequency, you need a lot of work capacity. that is something that jordan and austin acknowledge, but still a lot of people get crushed by their templates. Even the bridge is a lot to handle for many half your age. At your age, i would rather contact coaches directly instead of trying to figure out cookiecutter templates meant for average guys half your age.

[@thetruth5232]

Lord Fauntleroy Their point still stands. But context matters. their templates are cookie cutter programmes like any other. they expect you to have a certain amount of work capacity based on their experience. however, work capacity must be built and that takes time. if 5 reps of Deadlifts a week take you from 225 to 445 and then you stall, you will need more volume, maybe 20-30 reps a week. but you first have to build your work capacity with lighter loads before you can make actual progress. The overtraining thing is about the whole starting strength shtick with doing less and less, because the 5 reps of deadlifting a week will crush you cause its always a grind at 85% when it actually needs more volume at less intensity.

[@stevethomas7146]

thanks you've been really helpful...i injured my left quad in the program and am recovering by improving technique by doing air squats and back bar(only squats. i am able to do dead lifts because the flexion is less,, i started an app for bb medicine but will wait till healed and then decide. i feel given my age it would take a year of hard training to develop (maybe) capacity for their program... the question is do i want to push that hard when my own training style has me in better shape than 90% of men 1/2 my age? and the only time i've felt less mobile less functioning (getting out of car inability to walk 4 miles in the park) was under the bb training protocols.

[@thetruth5232]

steve thomas Training is highly individual, if you don't want to be a high level powerlifter or strength athlete, you don't have to train like one. If your goal is to be strong and healthy and have a higher quality of life, you don't need to chase particular numbers. i don't know much about training at your age, but unless you want to break masters records taking it slow and pushing it periodically might be better suited for you, as you say yourself. however, i respect that you are still training and wish you the best of luck with it!

Hey man, great video. I've also been stuck for the last couple of months. I was doubting myself and my genetics. That I couldn't get stronger. I was running a program by Brian Alshrue. Great guy, helped me a lot with technique and a great life motivator. But his training style wasn't for me. Like your old program, it was a lot of assistance work and not much lifting. It built up my core and made me a much better athlete, with conditioning and such. But I barely gained any strength. I decided to check out The Bridge by Barbell Medicine and man am I glad I did. It's exactly what I need. This video helped a lot with that. Knowing that a man who can deadlift 600lbs was stuck for years. Thanks for the motivation man. Respect.

[@ThrainnTheRed]

krakonos kraken Thanks. I'll keep it in mind next time I'm in a need of a program.

[@sighange]

Very interesting. I was actually looking for such a comment because I suspect that Allan’s training was influenced by Brian (awesome guy as you said). I am following Brian’s free program and I’m close to the end of the second phase. Indeed, with all these variables, hard to know how strong one is really becoming so I decided to test my 1 RM. I noticed that my bench increased by almost 20pds, deadlift too, squat a little bit. It was a bit of a positive surprise. Nevertheless instead of getting lean as he advertises, I got fat... hungry really all the time with all that conditioning (let’s not forget the warmup). I don’t know if I can train this way for a long time, but at least it brought me in the club of 300’ benchers, 400’ squatters, 500’ deadlifters in 2 months (ok I wasn’t toooooo far either), and my conditioning improved a lot of course. Now... is it the best approach....?? Something to ponder on...

[@solas6342]

Barbell Medicine Seminar in Minnesota would be pretty chill man, any time now would be great k thx

[@geneharrogate6911]

The linchpin to BBM programming is autoregulation / RPE. Once you get you're head around it and stop doing something roughly equating a constant peaking cycle, ie, less volume, more intensity, your training really takes off again. Percentages have their place, but seem to be somewhat of a dead end if you get to dogmatic with them.

[@geneharrogate6911]

@ Krud. The two aren't mutually exclusive. Working weights are chosen using the RPE scale on a given day rather than a hard number and these further correspond to a percentage of the lifters estimated 1RM. The idea is always to ad more weight to the bar regardless. Thrall uses RPE. Has been ever since he became involved with Baraki. Educate yourself. kzbin.info/www/bejne/b4jFZ5uPjtqUbs0

[@thetruth5232]

adding weight to the bar is still the goal in a Hypertrophy biased training block. Its tracked as e1RM or estimated 1RM. The goal is to get e1RM to climb throughout the training block. The length of the block does not even have to be fixed, as soon as e1RM trends down, the block is over, as per Mike T. the body has adapted to the stimulus and doesn't respond to it anymore

[@geneharrogate6911]

Seriously? Exactly the same way you work it into any other program. Do you actually understand how to implement RPE? Incidentally, regardless of your training experience, your sarcasm is operating at a novice level.

[@geneharrogate6911]

I'm currently running the Hypertrophy / GPP bias template available at BBM. Run you about 27 bucks US. Uses a mix of RPE and percentages. Myo Reps are also an option for the supplemental lifts. I dont really know of any other hypertrophy based RPE resources. Though its a nice bonus, I'm personally only interested in building muscle as it relates to strength, not aesthetics. Ask Mike Tuchscherer.

if you train four times a week, with the 4 days split in to 2 back to back training days ... how can you do bench every training day? dont you need to rest your chest and shoulders the next day?

I talk to lifters about non-productive stress all the time. I also like the bucket analogy. You've got a bucket of productive energy, everything outside of your goal puts a small hole in that bucket. Too much non-productive stress and you can't accomplish your goals.
