Olympic lifting 11 times per week messed up my knees, not squatting 5*5 everyday. If anything squatting was therapeutic for my knees. Not saying 5*5 everyday is good(I'd never recommend it to anyone), but that's not how I injured my knees at all.

Seeing so many lifters do two-a-day's with potentially less explodey knees, is the injury more of a load selection/pushing through injury/suboptimal recovery bc its comp time yolo kinda ting?

As an 80s era lifter I always thought it was squatting that damaged my knees. Now, a few years back in, squats aren't the problem. Everything else is. The explosiveness of snatching and cleaning is something my knees refuse to do. But I can squat comfortably very heavy weights easily.

Personally, I combine 5x5 with medium and long stints of doing no gym work at all. As an added bonus I never have to add more weight to the bar, I can simply do slightly less than last time.

I'm curious if, after your push using the 5x5 and 3x10 from Squat Senpai, you have revised your thinking on this.

Hi guys, really enjoying the channel so far! Really good content and there needs to be more of an evidence based approach to training advice like these videos. I’m currently undertaking my undergraduate dissertation in the effects of velocity feedback on load lifted in a 1RM back squat. So, I was just wondering if you could do a video on the force-velocity curve and velocity based training. I think people would find it really informative. Keep up the good work!

I just watched this video (and subscribing!) for the first time and you helped me realize how much time I've wasted for the last few years 😂 but this is good! I spent alot time on 5x5 and have tried a modified (masters) Russian squat program afterward. Now I'm in month 3 of the 5/3/1 program, and you've revealed to me that I have ABSOLUTELY NEGLECTED volume and conditioning. I think 5 sets of 10 or 6 sets of 8 is what I need. Would love your thoughts on if I should finish month 3 of this program, and take any time off or deload? Before beginning something more volume/lower intensity. I look forward to your next Q&A!

Old video, but I appreciate this. I’ve been doing starting strength style 3x5 for months. I just switched to Juggernaut and the 5x10 phase is killing me using the estimated training maxes that should have been fairly easy. Do I really related to the mental drain of 5s. I got to a point where I was doing 3x5 at 275lbs but was totally uncomfortable with 315lbs on my back, or going into more than 7/8 reps with even super light weight.

Pls make an in-depth video on how to recover from porlonged RSI's (especially knee- and quad-tendonitis); which treatments and recovery methods actually works? when and how should you train when injured? which pharmaceuticals can help you recover (over-the-counter aswell as the "prescription" type)? what role does diet play? etc etc. I really need some advice as I keep wasting time from my prime lifting years being injured.... Also what are your thoughts on Starting Strengths?

Most of these doctors get hired by sport clubs etc edit : to elaborate u will find orthopedic doctors but not ones who have dealt with athletes at an amateur level or a professional level. If you do find one, get your wallet/insurance ready.

Because you wont tap onto all force-velocity curve mate 😂 it means you will just be good in 5x5 and will get stagnant. Body adapts easily. Theres lots of people who do 5x5 but cant hit 20-25reps? How is that strong right when you think about it, it should be piece of piss right? Try it out and you will be surprised.

Depends on the individual of course, but the average beginner can handle 5x5 squats 3 times a week. A lot of beginners are recommended Starting Strength or Strong Lifts, both include 5x5 squats three times a week.

Stick to A.S. Prilipen's table and listen to your body. I've put over 100LB on my Deadlift in two years just adhering to these two rules. Some guys can squat 3Xweek (I was one of them). Some guys squat once every 10 days (I am now one of them). I've gained on both. There is no "one size fits all" cookie cutter program out there. If you want something structured, RTS is the best around. Specificity, autoregulation, and using A.S. P's tables are the best way. Even the old school Doug Hepburn programs are great. I've used those for years. Everybody has a stupid "program" to sell. Stop making this shit overcomplicated.
