Most people talk about Louie’s system like it’s some kinda esoteric knowledge. This guy broke it down so simply, I’m excited for the results to come

How much rest do you recommend between sets?
@CraigBongelli4 ай бұрын
@@patricklittleton9344 Depends on the movements. Heavy, max effort type stuff up to 5 minutes if you need it. Secondary work maybe 2-3 minutes. For the small accessory work a minute is likely solid - and even less for speed work. It's not a major factor though, resting as much as you need to be effective for the next set is all most people will need.

Nice overview dude. I echo the positive comments that others have made. Do you discuss PEDs on this channel?

Appreciate it! And I don't touch PEDs on the channel at all. Not for any kind of "moral" reasons, just because I feel there are much more qualified experts to give advice in that area.

I've been following WSB for 30 yrs+, ever since Louie started writing in PLUS A and this is one of the best videos on how to set up your program. Anyone new or just confused this should help. YES he talks about 3-5 RM on ME day but it still is very good video

Loved the content in the video here, clear, concise, informative, so good! Recently I heard you on a podcast, you mentioned in it with athletes looking to work on speed/acceleration you would do 50% on dynamic Effort speed lifts. Could you elaborate, is the band tension still 25%ish 1RM or do you keep a similar 2:1 ratio of bar to band like when working at the traditional 75%. Also what sets and reps do you work with (still 5x5 & 8x3). Then I assume variations are similar (box squats still king) or are there any other variations you would suggest for improving sprinting acceleration?

Where is the easiest place to start with weight training or conjugate training? How to build a solid base of GPP as an average older (40 years old) dude who wants to become more muscular, stronger, fit and healthier? What are the basics for a beginner like me? I want to train twice or three times a week. Do you provide a conjugate beginner program? Thank you very much for your help

Honestly man I would consider getting a coach. Other than that I've got some books on my website (craigbongelli.com) that would be a great place to start.

I have question regarding 2nd exercise for Upper body light and heavy days. Did I understand correctly that even if you do a vertical press or barbel row as a 1st main day exercise is always the triceps work will be afterwards?

If that workout takes you two hours you're moving too slow. I would cut down your rest periods significantly.

@CraigBongelliКүн бұрын
@@APNellyNelson96 I wouldn't say there is a magic number for that. Keep pushing yourself to take the least amount you can and as you get fitter you'll be able to shrink it. That said, as you get into the accessory work - under 1 min for sure.
