9:45 Interesting. Greg Nuckols offered a similar method in his novice hypertrophy template of his Average to Savage (now labeled Stronger By Science) program. Weekly progression on the Big 4 was 3x8, 4x8, 5x8, 3x10, 4x10, 5x10, 3x12, 4x12, 5x12 then add weight and start back at 3x8. His reasoning for recommending triple progression was that it was easiest to progress in sets over reps and reps over weight so do them in that order. I really like your 4 week wave though, going to do the accessories Gregs way and the Big 4 with your method in 5lb increments and see what happens. Thanks :)

This is my problem. I trained balls to the wall, vast majority of sets to failure for first few years, always struggle tp actually follow programs to the letter as it goes so against my habits/instinct to leave reps in the tank. If i feel i can get another rep its a mental battle to not actually attempt it. Problem is you cant just keep throwing yourself at the same brick wall just hoping it falls this time. My workout performance swings up and down. I need to get real and follow a basic program but actually to the letter. I find i can write really good looking programs on paper but i fuck them up in the gym through bad auto-regulation

That is pretty accurate... when I first started lifting I did linear progression for about 3 years and it started to fail at about 335 bench and 450 squat. I sat at those numbers for a few years because I was only really interested in body building. Eventually I moved on, but it's kinda funny because now its 35 years later and those are the weights I max out at now. Not really worrying about getting stronger anymore. This is natty though... I saw others on drugs who were able to get much further with linear progression.

Stimulus just doesn’t apply to weight increase. The lifter can choose to do different variations of a squat and that will act as a new stimulus. Changing accessory movements is also another way to expose the body to a new stimulus. Both of those variants can still work into a liner progression.

I saw some of your earlier videos on periodization and decided it was time to put all I learned from you and others and time under the bar to use. I made a 12week Wave Progression Program and stuck to it. Injured my shoulder half way through, recovered for a few weeks and restarted. Just finished the program and my lifts went up 30lb on DL, 30lb on Squat and 15lb on Bench, all while in a caloric deficit as I have weight to lose. Programming is absolutely necessary and I thank you so much for showing me the basics. You taught a man to fish!

Quick question - in block periodization should you deload between each block? Asking because I've been lifting only about two years, and my understanding from your videos is that newer lifters don't need to deload so frequently. Is dropping from 8s to 6s enough of a different stress that deload may not be necessary every time?

For 10s, I start pretty light, like RPE 7 for each set. The weights don't have to be exact, just avoid blowing yourself out on any on set. I usually prescribe something like 60% week one, then 60-65% for week 2, then 60-70% week 3, letting the lifter decide how they work around that range depending on how they feel. When we drop to 8s, the weight drops back to 65% and we work back up to 65-75%.

They aren't completely different. Block still has a very linear element, moving from high volume to low, low intensity to high. Spend some weeks with a lot of sets progressing in the 65-80% range, then some weeks in the 80-90% range, then a few weeks at 90% plus. Test and repeat. That's about it.

If you do you will be putting a higher stress on not only your ability to recover from the volume, but also your cns’s ability to recover.. this is one of the reasons periodizing different attributes works so well.

john Harbour I would cut the pyramid at 3 and 1 reps then. It’s not going to give really any hypertrophy stimulus, and it’ll just give more cns fatigue. The stimulus to fatigue ratio with them just doesn’t make it worth it outside of a peak (or triples in a strength specific phase) and you will still get enough cns stimulation from the 5s and even 8s. If you do that and have an intelligent progression scheme I don’t see why it wouldn’t be decent for doing a decent job at what you want. Just keep in mind it wouldn’t be optimal for strength or hypertrophy and will instead be decent at both. Also what training age were you when it worked for you last time? If it was recent you may have luck but if it’s been a while it might be a dead end.

Being a beginner or an intermediate in terms of program selection is not a question of how much you can lift, it's a question of how fast you can still recover and progress. Talented people can get all the way to squatting four plates with a linear progression program. Others have to get creative soon after squatting 2 plates. Even then, your numbers are meaningless if you don't provide basic information such as age, sex and bodyweight with them. A 225 bench can be anything from an intermediate performance if you are pretty heavy to a damn near competition ready lift if you are very light.

Could not focus on what you said because that board is too clean. It kept distracting me. :) Joking aside, great vid once again.

Your not going to have a 500 pound bench and a 800 pound squat naturally. SAID // is a real principle and most people can't push past thees numbers not because the leaner progression stops working, its because the human body primates athletes from growing bigger with out inhansmint.....

There are a ton of people who have hit those numbers naturally. The trade off is that they are genetic outliers. So pick your poison. Bank on whether you won the genetic lottery or make a decision to use technology to reach past it. There isn't a magical governor that limits growth like you described. Progress stops when the stimulus required to continue growth is too great to be recovered from. This is what separates strong lifters from beginners and why 'periodization' was such a breakthrough. All the gear in the world won't allow an 800lb squatter to recover from the workload prescribed in Starting Strength. It's literally never happened.

@@AlexanderBromley really love what you had to say, I psrsanoly do belive in Specific Adaptation to Imposed Demands, and the bodys ability to recover, you are correct there are some freaks out there, but even thoughs freaks are pushing there limits with gear. The fitness industry needs a name change, its the furthest thing from fit, and men have false understandings of what is natural. Personally I'm tired of it. And idd like people to start to understand some of thees truths Natural limitations are real. The body controls its rate of survival insuring you do not get to expensive. The body is always doing less for more. And we can only push past physiology so much. Idd like to see more transparency on this matter.
