Please write an ebook on peaking. Your base method was awesome. After 3 months of using your ebook I am the strongest I have every been. Just 1 issue I completely messed up the peak and overtrained and ran myself into a hole. I'm actually not too upset now that my meet got cancelled recently...write the book and take my money ha ha

Gotta admit, I like the lower intensity delivery when you're doing it from a sitting position, save the high intensity delivery when delivering speech on your feet. Take it from someone who had to learn the same lesson when transitioning from (standing) classroom teaching into (sitting) online teaching.

Thinking about transitioning from bodybuilding style workouts to more strength based work. This channel has been great to watch during my research. Thanks man!

One of the best strength training channels on KZbin! The only thing I wish this video had (and maybe I missed it) is should you peak throughout the year at times even if you’re not competing in order to realize your strength? And if you don’t peak then how would you know numbers to base your percentages off of for your regular training throughout the year? I’m taking a year off of strongman competitions in order to really build up muscle, weaknesses, and strength for specific movements because in one year my friends are competing in a strongman comp and I want to kick their asses but they are stronger than me currently. Thankfully I have a rough idea of what the events are. I just don’t know if I should do a bunch of cycles of hypertrophy then strength then peaking throughout the year or if I should just stick with hypertrophy and strength cycles and never truly peak until the comp. ps. Your everything you need to know about programming video is the best on KZbin in my opinion

Thank you! "Peaking" is something that should specifically be reserved for competition prep. The realization of that strength is temporary, since it can only get expressed when fatigue drops immensely and you can't drop fatigue low enough to 'peak' without removing the stress that gets you strong in the first place. (I alternate 'base' and 'peak' phases, but a 'peak phase' is different than 'peaking for a meet', it's essentially a strength phase). You should be able to keep a running count of a training max as you progress through generic hypertrophy and strength phases by applying low rep amrap sets to a rep max calculator. Even if it isn't 100% accurate, it will give you bench marks as you improve on whatever old numbers it spit out.

I am 43. Done SS, Texas, 12 week barbell medicine. I have no interest in formal competition but my main goal is strength in the 3 main lifts. I just recently bought your book and started doing DUP. Trying to figure out how many cycles of base I should do before the peak one. Book says 2-3 but I was hoping to get some guidance as to how to choose between those. It seems you allure to perhaps waiting for the base training to become “stale” prior to switching? So if I’m constantly progressing on the base DUP, when should I switch?

World records are good indications of where somebody is going to plateau.

Hi Alex, I absolutely love your videos and I was wondering how much is your heaviest bench for one rep to date? and like how many reps can u do with 315?

Fantastic timing - I have a contest next Saturday and my nervous system is totally shot. No strength, fatigue, etc. Do I take time off until the contest?

@AlexanderBromley 3 жыл бұрын

Yes! We have a saying this close to a contest: "the hay is already in the barn". You can't do anything to make yourself stronger between now and the contest. You CAN mess your performance up by not letting yourself recover. If you are shot right now, that's not totally bad. A good peak hinges on building a certain amount of fatigue first, so this week keep volume VERY low and effort around an RPE 6 (no last minute nervous testing) and don't do anything higher than an RPE 2 the week of the contest. Keep yourself fed and get plenty of sleep. You will come into your meet like a machine.

Finally, some sound advice! Thanks a lot, Bromley!

What do you mean by concurrent training not being really periodized training? I mean, if you choose to have 3 qualities that you train concurrently, you could always periodize their volume and intensity. Am I missing something here?

@AlexanderBromley 2 жыл бұрын

You surely can do that but it's not really done. If we are using Westside as a model for concurrent periodization in strength training, they used fixed prescriptions for volume and intensity on ME, DE and RE year round. In other sports there are more variables so you will see more changes in training organization as you get closer to game day, but in lifting I'm not aware of a concurrent approach that also manipulates volume and intensity.

@@AlexanderBromley Yeah i had in mind sports that need the "lifting" qualities like combat sports, football, etc. There is another method of concurrent training that is called "vertical integration" if im not mistaken. There you manipulate volume and intensity levels based on game/fight day. Further away from game you train for Hypertrophy, Strength-speed and some long SSC movements. As you get closer you go fro max strength, speed-strength and shorter SSC in addition with lowering the volume. Do you think that this is considered a periodized concurrent training method? By the way, im finishing your book these days. The amount of knowledge it has is amazing, good work.
