Try strength trainning for 6 months then for your other 6 months do muscle building the results are phenomenal i went from pushing 55 max dumbell press to 100 max in 6 months and then after 6 months of muscle building i could squeeze out 110s for 8 reps and im only 180 pounds. i stick to this routine now i will never switch. gives you a solid form that is actually as strong as you look.

I've notice that if I actually take a break (a week or two), and come back, you'll be able to lift more. Your nervous system is probably drained. Also make sure your eating.

[@RedorBlueDaily]

[@SikeDirektor1]

Thats what deload weeks are for. When being more advanced its better than taking a complete week off

[@john-7]

@Sunday Every 3 months, or when your lifts start to lack and you feel weak

[@hmanfilms]

This was my biggest mistake, overtraining and underrating… tired, drained nervous system, hormones out of whack, ended up taking two weeks off and eating everything under the sun, got back into the gym and killed it. Guess I learned I needed more calories than I was eating, even to keep cutting!!

[@poyanator]

I started working out in March, i weighed 55kg and I couldn't even bench press the olympic bar (20kg) by itself... now I can bench press my own body weight (60Kg). Never felt more satisfied with myself. Looking forward to next year when I will be continuing my lifting to get even bigger and stronger :) thanks for all your advice and help Elliot!

Great advice, It’s just a weird feeling resting for so long but it has to be done. Resting for a long time in a commercial gym, is a psychological test you need to be able to say “fuck what any body thinks” it’s the same when you go to the opposite side of the spectrum and you do very short rests in say like a high intensity circuit only this time the demon you face is the fact that you look weak. Most of the battle is myself and my own ego that’s how I feel, unless I truly leave my ego at the door I can’t incorporate and work these principles. To me the battle is myself not just my body and effort to put into the training, that’s the easy bit. The hardest part is letting go and becoming one with yourself accepting yourself and looking your demon straight in the eye and saying fuck you I got this. “Evil looked down on the samurai and said ‘you will not survive the storm’ the samurai whispered ‘I am the storm!

Fantastic setup for strength training. The big thing for me is that explosiveness. You really want to shift the weight. Some people prescribe 3-5 minutes rest for strength work, but at this stage, as long as you need is completely acceptable.

Hey Elliot, could you please do a video on strength training and the relation to CNS and how to manage it for best results? That would be great! Thanks.

[@jons4934]

Explosive power is important for strength, so anything that would help in that regard. Try doing those same exercises another day of the week with 50-60% of your 1RM with like 25 reps, 2 sets and extremely fast tempo. Also with those exercises it's important to have a spotter, not just for safety but I think for many people the "illusion" that safety is there increases confidence and allows you to push heavier weights. It's kind of a mind game.

[@altuber99_athlete]

4:00 That's so true. That's power. In BB you care about slow eccentrics, controlled form... in ST you go explosive. Think of plyometrics.

[@JayWing9]

Amazing way to go about things. Build a foundation first, both strength and nervous system wise. 5x5, 5-3-1, 3x5 are solid strength building programs. After you hit good amount of strength, add (8-12)/(6-10) rep bodybuilding exercises for hypertrophy. An efficient nervous system and foundation of strength + muscle will aid alot. Upperbody hypertrophy (day1), Strength (day2) Rest(Day3) Lowerbody Hyper (day4), Strength (day5) KINGS - Deadlifts, Squats, Flat Bench, Pendlay Rows

[@jgphotography7746]

How often should i strength train a week? (Experienced lifter kinda)

[@faizyyy8005]

4-5 times a week rest is the most important thing and diet you only need to do a little training and a lot of eating (healthy diet) and sleeping

[@arbulonrexhepi]

I would say 3 days per week if your intensity is about 75-85% and 2 days if you train at 85-95%.

[@jrmob8765]

Great, Elliott! I've learned from your and Paul Chek's workout things quite a bit, but you still manage to surprise me with these basic things. So learning the movement, the pattern in the movement, is the first step that should precede all other steps. Definitely. Thank you big sir! Mikko

[@AFSDSHDFFSS]

You will build both muscle and strength in any of those rep ranges. Their is just a different focus when doing low reps compared to doing higher reps. For example on a 5x5 program you will get great results in both strength and muscle building. Just choose your focus, strength and hypertrophy aren't mutually exclusive.

[@isbav5694]

I've heard that when you train strength you also train muscle(size), and its as effective as doing several reps and with few sets. I did talk to a norwegian strongman who claimed this. He bench like 260kg, and looked extremely big. In advance thanks for the help!

[@simpbeforeusleep]

I am going to try this, been trying to gain strength but hit a wall. Thanks for the advice.

[@Gunz4President]

This is extremely helpful especially since I'm focusing more on strength training with my chest. Thanks again Elliot !!!!

[@michaelcarter8620]

look up 5/3/1 or the big-15 programs if you want to build strength and size. they cycle different rep ranges throughout the program. remember that getting stronger in just about anything under 12-15 reps will get you stronger. if you can raise for max weight for 10 reps to 15 reps, you have raised your 1RM ceiling

Best to be in a surplus. For strength and or hypertrophy

[@1957346]

+MirrorsHD truee i heard strong lifters eat anything lmaoo i eat alot already i just gotta start training lol

[@uwannafightbro2797]

Your caloric intake needs to be higher for hypertrophy than strength training. But even for strength training it should be pretty high.

[@damiensutherland7104]

Hey how do this exercise routine sound? Two training days. Monday squat -3x5 Bench press-3x5 Deadlift-3x5 Friday Squat 3x8 Bench press 3x8 Deadlift 3x8

[@harrys7701]

Could be a good comprimise, but could end up missing the ideals of either strength training or body building. I'd personally be more tempted to do 6-8 sets of 2/3 on mondays and 3-4 sets of 8-12 on friday, or instead do this hypertrophy workout on the following monday and thursday allowing for strength workout more recovery. But I guess workouts suit people differently, and at the end of the day your probably best of testing your best set/rep ranges for strength and for building mass.

[@tresconik]

Damien Sutherland Too much volume on friday.. make it a 3 day split. Limit the exercises on the strength building day and alternate between the exercises on the other days. Include barbell rows on the hypertrophy day

[@aneilj6615]

Thank you sir this has helped me a lot for understanding strength.

[@2dcutout]

I meant this year, not last year, but same difference. Good to hear, I didn't want to come across as if I were having a rant - so I'm glad you're trying to keep everything balanced! At our bodyweights, bodyweight exercises are great and we excel at them far easier than people Elliot's size. I think explosive pushups helped my bench-press.

[@Aegor1998]

Is it bad if I do a full body strength workout 3-5 days in a row. Of course the intensity degrades a little each day. I Max out that weeks record on Monday, the last weeks record on all other days. Is that harmful for the body it do? I am asking because of the frequency he talked about.

[@TheDiabethick]

+Blake Kucera If it works for you then you should continue with what you´re doing. People are different, if that amount of frequency makes YOU stronger then who cares what someone else says. But if you dont get stronger, or if you feel weak and so on you might want to change your program.

[@zerothehero123]

I'd say keep at least 2 days of rest between workouts working the same muscles or lifts. You also can divide your workouts in a push/pull or upper body/lower body schedule. Don't underestimate rest and recovery time and keep your nutrition optimal.

[@kungenadde5678]

Don't do full body workouts.. for example have a specific day for legs and abdominals for example, one day for chest and triceps, one day for shoulders and abdominals, one day for back and biceps etc etc :)

[@viktor2694]

Becoming Godsize It might not make you grow bigger but it will make you stronger for sure

[@joelbackman8330]

Yes. That's terrible. Actually terrible.

[@TheWalsymezrp]

Strength. It develops a foundation for hypertrophy. If you do 5x5 you have a nice middle ground to vary lower or higher. If you start off doing 8 or 12 you probably can't do the equivalent with 5 or 3.

[@Samu94el]

How long should strength training workouts go for ? I'm use to doing a bodybuilding routine with press one day then pull the next then legs and repeat. I do around 15-18 sets per workout, but how many sets per workout with strength? considering some exercises can go up to 5 or even 6 sets each?

[@CosmicTurbo949]

I want to know this too. Basically, can strength training trigger hypertrophy and can hypertrophy training make you stronger?

[@ProjectileSeamen]

I always thought the bigger your muscles the stronger you are 🤦🏽‍♂️ little did I know I’m out here doing it wrong I just workout at my own pace and do as many as I can I don’t worry about being explosive on my movements I just worry about getting my sets done.

[@jay3lky244]

Thanks , great video and lots of knowledge as always! Not to get people confused though you should not be pushing to 95/100% every week or even most weeks! The nervous system and endocrine system simply can’t keep up you’ll be run down and burnt out and hit a wall or even regress ! It’s important to train hard but equally as important to train smart and have patience . Beginners will build strength quite quickly but making stable lasting strength gains takes a lot of time and the correct know how. So switch up your programme , some weeks ‘overreach me meaning push yourself to your limit but a lot of weeks it’s important to back off and stick around 75% to give your body time to adapt . Might sound counter intuitive to some of you eager beavers but this way is tried and tested it’s called step loading research it folks ! That’s just one way of doing it though

[@kaiven7]

May i ask you one question? Do the muscles have to hurt the other day, like when you're doing hypertrophy? And the other thing i don't know is, the strength training affects negatively on your muscle size? Since you're doing short time under tension and so

[@jay3lky244]

Ivan Gjurinovich on the strength size you can build a lot of strength without gaining size but ultimately if you want to be as strong as possible you’re going to need to make your muscles a lot bigger . Basically a strong big man is stronger than a strong little man and at the extreme end bigger muscles are stronger . However , I always recommend being strong but light , lean and mean so to speak for me it’s about being functional ie flexible , able to run, sprint , circuit , pull up , boxing , use your body in various ways for overall health and performance and quality of life ! So switch it up , try different modalities like yoga, sports , strength training whatever it is to suit your goals and whatever you enjoy . Also there’s no one size fits all so you may respond differently to a certain style of training than another person depending on body type ie I know a guy who put on size doing 20 reps of exercises whereas someone else would get lean doing those reps . See what works for you

[@AHeroAlmost]

Can you for example focus on strength for your bench do the 1-5 reps and then for fly's for example do the usual 8 to 10 and other chest exercises?

[@JCatford]

No you shouldn't. You should focus completely on strength for that session. Do chest press for 1-5 and then flys 1-5 also. You will build strength in different areas and different ways through different neurological pathways. You should split your training into blocks. From an athletic point of view, train for size/hypertrophy for 4-6 weeks then go into a strength training phase for 2-4 weeks and try and utilise the muscle you have just built. Then you can move onto power training using explosive movements to make you faster. Source: exercise physiologist

[@prealpha2]

Done sets of 10, 10, 3, 3, 3 and got good results. I'm not a seasoned strength trainer by an means but my logic is if you haven't done it your body will have to adapt.

[@timwe77]

James Catford wanna see you doing max effort flys haha you can mix up your training and get even better results for example thats what elliott is doing

[@jblpyro1773]

I wouldn't do sets of flys with the rep range 1-5. its not a safe movement to lift all that weight to make 1-5 reps challenging. I can do 60's for a good 8 to 10...id never go higher

[@JCatford]

yeah maybe not heavy flys if you are strong, can put your shoulder joints under a lot of stress. Cable fly on the other hand between 3-5 reps for strength are a good exercise especially from a functional strength point of view, build a different type of strength than bench press across different slings of muscles. Plus having your feet planted on the ground is important for building functional strength for sports, if thats what you're into.

[@K20civicsirturbo]

I live in a apartment too and work out in my living room and all i use is a power tower to build muscle (calesthetics) slow down everything dont just blow threw your reps like for example the pull ups take 10 seconds to go down for each rep

[@Bookstop1337]

I'm not Elliot but I can speak to this a little: rep schemes are like a sliding scale, at the end you have 12 reps which build a lot of hypertrophy, muscular endurance and some strength. In the middle you have 5-7 rep range which will give good explosive, power oriented strength gains along with some definite size and hypertrophy. At the low end you have the 1-3 rep range which is what a lot of olympic weightlifters and some power lifters train through: this gives you maximal strength gains.

[@potatochipwriter8375]

This honestly helped so much thank you. What I have been doing is 5-10 reps of 100 pounds. So maybe I should up the weight and make it only 3-5 reps? Thats what I'm getting from this. I'm about 95-100 pounds myself and I'm trying to get stronger caz I'm a small person and I want to feel safe and confident in myself. Again thanks

[@richardhawkins2647]

When I was young I was skinny but strong for my size. I got fed up with having to keep fending of idiots so decided to use weights to bulk up. The idiots stopped bothering me, but I found that my strength didn't increase proportionally with my size. In fact in some ways I felt less strong, but this explains it perfectly. I'd been puffing up with body building reps. I never realised there was a difference. Now I want to get back to the gym and work on increasing my strength. I don't want to be skinny again, so will start with the strength stuff then move to the hybrid workout you mention. Thanks Elliot, you got such a fun way for saying it!

This information might be very wrong but I was taught to do a ton of reps with light weights (like 3-5 lb weights) will help you to gain longer, leaner muscles rather than a bunch of volume and huge muscles ...

It's a bit of misconception. Muscle + Fat Loss = Tone. Also, unless a woman is taking steroids, it is pretty much impossible to gain really bulky muscle. Reason being, testosterone is usually the determinant of the amount of muscle gain. Both men and women produce it, but women barely produce enough for it to impact gains. Hell, it's hard for a guy to gain really bulky muscle. I'd say stay the 8-10 rep range with weights (where you wont fail at 8 reps, but are unable to do 9 reps). Do some cardio and have a caloric deficit (eating a bit less than normal), and fitness model status is right around the corner.

Richard Bienaime Thanks :p

The last thing to realize is that when you're satisfied with your build, don't increase the weight any further, but still do the same workouts. That keeps it in maintenance mode, meaning you won't get bigger, but you won't lose the gains either.

Victoria Sellphone And these are principles for STRENGTH training, not MUSCLE building

Probably a little, but if you do starting strenght or 5x5 or something similar (higher spectrum of the 1-5 rep range) you will get some hyperthrophy as well. And if you are training in the lower spectrum (1-3 reps) you will more often than not add assistance exercises in the higher rep ranges (westside method for instance) which will aid in hyperthrophy. Hope that made sense!

[@IVIakeItHappen]

what the other guy said, BUT yes of course you can build both at the same time. Thats where you would use a reg range inbetween the 2, which would be that 6-7 you mentioned. There are other variables you can manipulate to accomplish the same thing instead of the rep range. You can manipulate that as well as frequency and add in a day of low rep or high rep training depending on your main focus. For example on a bb program, you can add in a "strength" day and hit low reps. Hope that helped! :)

12 reps, 4 sets and if you can do drop set 2 times on each set or if your body just cant handle it do 3 drop sets on the last set. on each drop set drop the weight about %20 do 3 isolation exercises on each muscle group and only take about 1 minute breaks. i hope this helps :)

I’m thinking of increasing from 5 lbs to 8 lbs and i just had surgery almost a year ago. Good or bad?

[@kingnostalgia7911]

It depends on what the doctor said

[@LINKINPERRY]

This guy says it all guys. This is something you can trust. I never thought I was gonna get 275 bench press but I eventually did

[@thecoolguy365]

To get stronger at bench press and military press from my experience lift lighter weight until failure or start at a weight that's not that heavy and work your way down and back up. Example bench press 150lbs drop 5 or 10 lbs for every set of 10 all the way down to 10 and work back up

[@alexanderjurado6101]

@JibbsBruv building muscle is simply building muscle and mass, building strength is pretty much working on how strong you are by lifting heavier weight.

[@MrSaber152]

my understanding. is that muscle fibers are only able to do so much work so you buildup to get more muscle. this strength training is meant to engage all the fibers better for a more efficient use of each fiber. were as with muscle growth you may have a small group of fibers doing the most work so they swell and enlarge but leaving most of the muscle untapped. a balanced training program is key. just my understanding on this and i may be wrong not a strength coach but i do work with many.

This is exactly what I was searching in your channel and then you blessed me with this upload! :D

[@jah16191]

thanks elliot this really helped, i've put on a air bit of size but i've noticed my strength hasnt been going up, im defo gonna switch up my routine after watch this great vid

[@chauklaus2693]

Hi. Should I hold for a second when building strength? Like the biceps curl, people usually suggest you hold for a second when your fists come near the shoulders.

[@johnholme783]

How would a complete beginner go about strength training? Wouldn’t I have to start at higher reps to begin with in order to strengthen my ligaments, say in the region of about 8, or could I go straight into low rep training with sufficient warm up sets? I have a bodybuilding background and have had a long lay-off and would now like to start strength training.

[@AnCierciello]

Please do a video on speed and explosive training

[@antondandot]

i do the same, works wonders. all strength up esp on my military, deadlift and squat. still shit on my bench but working my way up.
