it is crazy the more i get into fitness and doing more and more fitness research. I find almost all of the really really good fitness advisers get next to nothing in views.
Spot on ! But that's the thing most trainees miss out. They sometimes go backwards and stay there for a while. And they wonder how others lift so heavy . Poliquin's kaizen principle teaches the same. Thank you very much for the video.
What is the minimum effective dose for milk consumption? If I can't stomach 1 gallon a day on a weekly basis, should I move to an HLM style Milk drinking where I consume 1 gallon of whole on Monday, Half Gallon Choco on Wednesday, and say Buttermilk on Friday? Or should I switch to Soy and and arbitrarily rate my Volume of Soy Milk consumed via a number scale?
So the 4 day split of heavy one day, volume another would be 80% of heavy day on volume day for 3x5 reps ?? Any accessory work ?? Many thanks for your excellents videos, I’m 64 and can’t train Wednesdays so looking for a 4 day split, I’m also 64 years old so wary of volume. Regards 🏴👍
I would really like to hear your opinion on isolation exercises. What i mean is, are they necessary and for what kind of lifter are they? I also don't understand how some parts of our body are supposed to be trained doing squats, deadlifts, bench press, overhead press e.g the calves. Finally, what are the next steps someone should follow after seeing no progession doing the novice starting strength program?
This really reminds me of the "bottom up" approach exemplified by Mike tuchscherer (I'll never be able to write your surname properly Mike, forgive me if you ever read it). Am I wrong?
Ehh, his book is definitely worth reading, but he looks at how you do a certain program for a certain amount of time and then change. I'd say MED Programming is more a philosophy of how you change. It especially applies to people who just want to get generally stronger and healthier.
@@BarbellLogic apologies, I missed your reply somehow 🤣 First of all thanks for taking the time to reply to my comment, that's very much appreciated. I understand your point, but correct me if I'm wrong, wouldn't understanding the MED philosophy actually give you the tools to understand what and when to change things from the bottom up, tailored to the athlete? Just a dumb example. Let's say that a trainee stops progressing on an LP. We know that there are two possible reasons: lack of recovery or need for more volume according to all the possible metrics. Using the MED philosophy we could tailor the change to the individual, without having to compromise his training by blindly following one single ideology stating "if X then Y". And that's kind of awesome if I understood the principle correctly
In my experience way too often it's nothing with programming at all. Most lifters just need to sleep better, eat better and have the talk occasionally.
Maurice O'Brien Matt is using a pretty common example for transitioning a novice from LP to intermediate programming. Specifics will always be dependent on the individual lifter. Texas Method and HLM are very popular programs!
I do think so , even texas method is HLM in a way, its just about adding stress (volume) but spread it out along the the week in a way that you can recover from .

Thanks for the kind words.
@Frank Burjan Thanks for the kind words, and for watching.
@Frank Burjan Thanks for letting us know--good luck!
@Frank Burjan They do--thanks for sharing.
We have to do the best we can right now & keep training & keep getting better.
@Frank Burjan Thanks for the kind words about our channel.
I've been doing this in my programming lately and it works.

Excellent advice. It's important to try to understand what works for you and that's impossible if you always change everything.

Or...should I switch to the Kefir method?
GOMAD is just for novices!

What are your maxes Matt?
This isn’t geeky. It’s the opposite. It’s simplistic.

Road To Doc By Roid Alex very true, many people never truly run out linear progression because they miss workouts, don’t eat enough, don’t sleep, etc.

So after NLP is just Heavy-Light-Medium?

After NLP, go do The Bridge
Mauro Ro
Did you watch the video? He literally said not to jump from one program to another.
@@onewingedangel1234 but after NLP you need more, so The Bridge is a better option
Just add 5lbs
Next time less magic effects with the text. It's very distracting.
You should start a channel!
