I’ve never commented online. You guys are the best at what you do. I’m 58 years old and your programs are the best I’ve ever used and I’ve been in the strength game for 40 years. I don’t question your programs, I just do them, they FUCKING work!!! Sika Forever
Great info. Just a technical film thing, your 'depth of field' is too shallow in the shot at the blackboard, so both you and the board can't both be in focus. Just use a smaller aperture for a larger depth of field.
I think ye have talked about this before, but I've hit 237.5kg squat before, but I would question if I could hit 180kg for 10 (not sure if I have ever tired though), would that be a muscle endurance thing?
I hit 165kg last time I ran RTA (3rd time). Running the powerlifting blocks now and I picked a 1 RM figure about 150 KG. The moderate (funny way to refer to fairly heavy weights for multiple reps) set/reps range before the peak in blk3 is murdering me. I have to be completely fresh for a session or I'm not hitting squat numbers. I think for me, when I run RTA, squat is the only focus, nothing else matters and so I don't fatigue myself much on other lifts. With the powerlifting blocks there's fairly heavy deadlifts too. Not a hope I'll hit 165 but if I'm lucky I might squeak 155. I also dropped 5kg body weight which I know is an important factor.
@@stevenhewes1990 Difficult to say definitively but I dropped the 5kg gradually over 3-4 months and I trained consistently. The positive side was I was able to run training blocks that previously killed me much easier. To your point though, if my squat feels weaker then maybe I did lose muscle.
I’m not being a hater at all…just my opinion. But I feel like the squat is so easy for you, if you dropped like 5-10kg of body weight (mostly body fat) you would have had a way better shot at the run but still be able to hit the squat fairly easily.
This is interesting. Do you have this protocol written up somewhere? I’m a powerlifter who is coming back from ~1 year hiatus after squatting almost 600lbs and would love to get back to some numbers I was doing in SBD
Dissapointing. Thought it was a bodyweight Challenge...
Blood pressure PR

Better title - Getting back to 500lb squats, muscle memory helps you here first timers not gonna happen
I want to see the 7 weeks of running presented like this also
Same same!! Please publish it!
Great video, not something talked about much but very informative. Great series too, looking forward to the next
the lads
Killing it with the content latley boys
I would be the strongest 50-year old man in Sweden, in the -93 kg class if I could squat 500 lbs.

If you’ve never tried why would you assume you couldn’t?
@@Robdutton91that sounds like an absolute brutal existence. But then again, I weigh less than 75 kg lol
Suspicious
Muscle memory is a real thing.

hugely important factor. Do you feel like that is purely fat tissue?

Lol. "The program is really hard and not really working for me ... Oh yeah and I also stabbed myself in the leg every week, which may be important".
Out of the sets of squats do you do any acessorie work?
Is this squat programme only for getting back to previous numbers or will it also be useful for hitting a new PB?
It’s explicitly said in 6:36…
What was the leg injury you discussed at the beginning of the video?

@@dpcater he’s got a lot more to go. You might be surprised how much extra fat a lot of us carry even when we think we are in good shape.

Eat more, do less cardio, incrementally add weight to the bar. Get big and strong. Congrats on your 500! Your almost as strong as your friend.
