@@nh1776sure, it is easy to have all that when everything is progressing good, when you have great results etc . That is the whole problem which arguing about this stuff.
Unfortunately I've known quite a few guys with all three of those that failed to live up to their potential or anywhere close. So there are certainly other variables at play. And generally I like to define high performer not based on absolute load lifted but someone's ability to push up towards the upper end of their genetic capability.
How well do you think the knowledge you have about programming for strength sports would help you in programming for sports like sprinting, distance running, or swimming (just examples)? In other words, if you were tasked with programming for a sport unrelated to lifting how well do you think you’d do?
Could it be your flat out wrong about this? You’re saying that unless I have good genetics, it is better to squat multiple times a week than it is once a week. However, I have struggled to ever make leg gains, and I have been lifting for years. I have spent thousands of dollars on sessions with personal trainers. I have spent more time in the gym than anyone I know. I took nine months off of work and basically just went to the gym every day and that’s practically all I did. All my social media stuff is gym related. I have the NASM training guide in my study, I’m working through it. So I’m just trying to paint the picture that I at least somewhat know what I’m doing. And I’m telling you, I feel like I don’t make gains with my legs unless I just absolutely beat them to fucking death. To the point where it takes me 5 to 6 days to recover. Today’s Saturday and I’m still sore from my leg day Monday where I did abductors/adductors, then 5 sets of squats x 10 reps leading up to a sixth insane set where i did 160lbs x 20 reps, breathing for 10+ seconds after each rep after the 13th rep or so. I weigh 147lbs for reference. I just absolutely annihilated my legs. And in the past, I feel like I only made gains when I really pushed myself crazy hard. But you’re saying that most people won’t make games in their legs unless they work them out multiple times a week or they have crazy good genetics for their legs . I’m not some Mike Mentzer sycophant but don’t you perhaps think there’s more to leg training than you’ve opined?
Don’t mean to be rude, but weighing more than 147lbs would probably help more in making gains than brutal leg training without the requisite gain in bodyweight
Hey, Sam. Have you heard about the strongman Alexander Zass? He basically swore by isometric training. What's your take on heavy duty isometric training, if any?
algo also, how often do you recommend dropping the big 3 out of a powerlifters programming? or maybe how many months out of a year does a powerlifter you are coaching have s/b/d in their program ?
Me: signs up for Sam's coaching
Sam: here's a billion dollars, now get good
Tbh it would probably work 😂
video on commonalities of high performers would be really cool!
Genetics, PEDs, free time
@@kapoioBCS mindset, work ethic, personality, etc. There's plenty to talk about I'm sure

lol why is my second hidden?
Add chapters for easy navigation
I think timestamps would be helpful for such videos thanks + algo
For the algorithm
Hey Sam, do you have any coaching spots available??

Full video on commonalities of high performers please and thank you.
Training legs 1x a week is peak cause it gives you more time to train upper body 💪

Big feels for the lass/lad who is floundering on bench after their cut. And I love the matching couples’ Rainier Classic shirts haha
