I swear I saw the very same comment in some earlier video. Rippetoe programs 3x5 in SS and varies volume in Texas method, so this comment is not worth repeating over and over
Rippertoe is STARTING STRENGTH, not continuing forever strength. I can't stand Rippertoe but I at least understand he's talking about beginners not what you should do for 5 years. The mean intelligence is low.
during a volume accumulation phase, i like the philosophy of trying to "condense the volume". If I start my block out with 5x5 @ 70% I'll aim to do that for 3-4x6-8 next week, then up the weight and return to 5s to do the same for the next few weeks. It's a way for me to increase the relative intensity/difficulty of the work without having to actually up the absolute weight I'm putting on the bar every session/week. Periodically return to 70% but aim to complete more and more volume there each time I do. I find that approach to be a great way to raise my base volume threshold, and gives a good jumping off point when transitioning into a phase more dedicated to increasing the weights being used rather than getting in a fuckton of reps.
Honest question: there are 3 people I’ve seen on RUclips who have Ass-To-Grass squatted 300kg. Clarence Kennedy, Toshiki Yamamoto, and the ginger fella on this Sika Strength channel. Each of them admit (and prove with video logs) that they accomplished that by doing nothing but 5x5 almost every day (and Toshiki added 3x10 too). I understand that blanket advice to do the same could cause unprepared and beginner lifters to injure themselves, but if we know what’s possible, is there any physiological argument against doing what those 3 lifters did? The argument that ‘you might injure yourself’ I understand. But knowing that, you can plan the program to mitigate injury like progressing more incrementally, slowly, and concentrating on perfect form. I did the full Smolov 13 week program back to back for 3 cycles with no injury by using a slightly lower weight than calculated, and by focusing on perfect form.
Jear I hear it often... Here whats if done to get where im, but don't do the same 😅. I think if you are build to Squat, you can get really strong from spamming Squatting
@@alexanderheyworth3242 maybe but I honestly think no one has tried it except the ones who have filmed it. Many people have tried to hit 300, but doing it with that training protocol is quite rare.
imo most people debate what is a good idea, or what is optimal, or what reduces injury, etc., but in reality you can make progress using many different approaches to training. you can risk it for the biscuit if you want
Do you have a 5-day power building option? Website only shows a 4-day option. Am willing to pay for one if you’d be willing to! Used the 2nd block of what you did for Haydn, generally liked it, but would love to have a more tailored solution for myself.
We know the earth is not just flat but it’s space turtles all the way down, we know this thanks to science, and we also know thanks to the great scientist mark rippetoe that is 5x5 all the way to the end
Fitz, how dare you go against the Gospel of Rippetoe. It's 5x5 all the way down!
hehe
can't go against the church of rip.
just a side note starting strength is more 3x5 than 5x5. 5x5 is stronglifts

Ok run Russian Squat Routine every 3 months.....got it.
5x5 5 days a week? got it
the clarence kennedy way-to-300 squat program
Don't forget your 3x10 back downs
Just squat to maximum twice a day. Got it! 👍🏻

Great video got loads out of this. Thanks
You just have to keep pushing forwards Push through that wall its a mindset.
Vary your training. Make it enjoyable to train many years. Increase volume, not just intensity. Train untamed!
"Always remember to train on time"
They keep these coming!!!!

Survivor selection bias. The thousands of people who tried to get a 300kg squat using 5x5 but failed didn't put a video on RUclips.

What, if anything, would you change in what you discussed if someone was using your average weightlifting stack of PEDs?
Train more, train harder, train heavier
No right time to stop linear progression. You just eventually have to linearly progress the DBol too.

When people say linear progression they usually mean "novice" progression or "easy gains time"

Stop selling that horseshit. Rippertoe is for starting strength i.e to intermediate at most. It's in the name.

No progression is linear
But what if it is?
gzclp covers this all quite well
