Why you can't max all the time: Theory of Training

[@weresam1]

i sent this video to my buddy and when we train together he ALWAYS tries to go for a 95% single or double and I always tell him; “your fucking up your gains bro” and he’s always like “nah man i know what i’m doing” We stated training around the same time, me sticking to Clarences programming, am 100lbs ahead of him in the back squat and over 120lbs ahead of him in the deadlift. he’s been stuck at the same numbers for about a year now. He is living proof that there is no room stubbornness in your programming. Stick to the fucking plan people, it’s a called a plan for a reason. Don’t let your ego shatter your body or your mind. I hope my friend can change his ways. Ya’ll are doing the lords work Lads.

[@Kobe005]

100% agree, because I've been in a similar position to him. Your ego will destroy your mind in insidious ways

[@mubeen3877]

Loving all the recent topics you guys are talking about.

[@sikastrength]

Thank you! Have you any in mind that you've been wondering about?

[@mubeen3877]

@@sikastrength how long delods and progression phases should last ?, or what is better sliding or jumping in the snatch and clean and jerk? Advantages and disadvantages. These are off the top of my head

[@sikastrength]

Fantastic, we'll put those on the list 😁📃

[@rodrigocaceresb.7707]

You guys mentioned that high reps is one of the best ways to improve your technique (7:25), could you expand on it it a future video. I’m new to weightlifting and with the current lockdown have only access to a limited amount of weight. Keep up the good work 💪🏽 love the channel! 🇨🇦

It’s taken me a while to find you, but, man, I’m glad I finally did. You guys come out with such useful information and advice. I’d been stuck in that max out too often trap for over a year and, more recently, after getting someone to handle my programming for me, find myself constantly asking myself ‘Where am I at, right now?’ and second guessing myself about ‘losing maximum strength’ because I’m now spending so much more time in the 70-85% range. I’m still guilty of ‘sneaking in’ the odd attempts at heavier weights after sets of triples or even complexes. Gotta trust the program, learn to hold back and dial in that discipline more! Keep ‘em coming fellas!

[@kevinmurphy7242]

Great discussion gentlemen. Really appreciate your knowledge. Keep up the good work

[@riotsforanimals1606]

Very helpful information, thanks for video! Can you do a video on equipment? Like favorite bars, shoes, straps, etc. Would also love to see a video about how to improving mobility, specifically to drop under quickly.

[@Algocheck]

Love these videos and the podcast. Any chance you could cover the topic of cueing in the Olympic lifts? Should you focus on correcting one problem at a time (eg: not staying over the bar long enough, not pulling through with the arms in the finish)? Or thinking about all the technical faults you have and remembering all the cues to correct them at once (stay over the bar longer, finishing with the arms)?

[@thecrystaltide3757]

I try to stick to the program as much as possible, so I guess I'm not psychologically weak I'm just physically weak

[@sikastrength]

Haha psychological strong is better, physically strong just takes some time and patience 👌

Great channel

[@davab]

Thank you

[@gaelfear395]

Relatively new to the channel so these videos may already exist but is there anyway you guys could make a series of videos demonstrating the best form that is expected when performing the accessory work in some of your programmes.

Thank you!

[@jacobalamina2274]

Like and comment for the algorithm. Great video

[@rileyrfitzpatrick]

Do these points apply for rep-maxes? Or further, something like a 5x5 where the last set ends up being very high RPE?

[@MrMahia23]

How often should I be maxing out? and what are the lowest percentages of a 1RM that you should adopt in a program to move more volume? I have been working with 75%-95%. Occasionally 65%.

[@user-su2id5pt3g]

How about a video on quadricep tendonitis.

[@sikastrength]

We usually stay away from injuries but I think we'll do a few on the theory behind recovering from them

[@user-su2id5pt3g]

@@sikastrength that's good to hear since it's such a common problem with weightlifting. Keep up the good work.

[@jamesrichardson291]

Another incredible theory of training video from you guys!! How often would you say a lifter should be going 90%+?

[@landerhendrickx3522]

Depends on the exercise and the absolute strength.

comment for the algorithm, also this is a class vid

[@muellernikolai8630]

God I wasted like 5 years in that abyss cause I was a fucking dumbass. Only got out like 6 months ago, started using an app to plan my training with volume, intensity and periodization management and holy shit, I made more progress than since I started in like 2017 or some shit.

[@buffcommie942]

if only i saw this video when it came out

[@zsahe21]

9:30 friends don't let friends say stimuluses

[@kahlaaja]

Now is probably a good time to stop blaming my poor strength abilities and look at how much time I have wasted in crap training. It´s just not normal to use 10 years to get your bs from 130 to 200.. even with bad genes for explosive power like I have.
