As a 60 yr/o who has been weightlifting since HS and training since college ( bodybuilding and powerlifting competition). It took me about 5 yrs of trial and error and 3 yrs of coaching to learn what you are offering freely on this video. Thank you for the organized summary. If your looking for material, nutrition may be another great opportunity.
This! Nutrition, hydration, supplementation and the need for rest/sleep. Another could be on the different adaptations from one person to the next by age, experience and gender. If not done already. I really enjoy Bromley and his straight forward, simplicity and the lack of BS that we get from guys/gals who simply want to sell you shit.
BadgerBJJ Lol, love it. Bruce Lee, but with strength instead of power. Popeye body-weight. Honestly, I kinda want this for myself. I'm willing to bulk _some_ but mostly temporarily, and just to train strength before I go back to training power and speed.
That's exactly what I tailor my program to. Looking athletic and staying strong. I switch up time to time to keep things interesting and fresh but I pretty much just lift for overall strength. Thanks to my genetics and relatively active lifestyle, I can get away with eating just about anything I want and stay lean without putting on a bunch of mass.
Same. My ass is my only "good" bodypart. Noticed that just a year into training. Random middle aged women started to comment on it behind my back. Was fun
that's all the squats probably, I stopped doing them because they never hit my quads the way i wanted them to do. I have long femurs. Since switching to leg extensions and doing leg presses it has much improved my quads and also less ass training
Alexander you are just a wealth of information and knowledge. I can't tell you how much your videos have helped me especially after an extreme injury where I lost 30 lbs of muscle. Your Bullmastif program is awesome and brutal and is getting me back to some decent strength. Much appreciated, thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.
You kind of touched one point I always stress to new lifters who teain for aesthetics which is to rrain your extermity muscles from the beginning. Many newbies jump into lifting doing powerlifting style training although their goal is aesthetics and they end up with a spider mode physique ( blocky trunk, small limbs )
Eb and flow helped me tremendously! I'm a fast gainer who would burn out after 3 weeks of hard training, powerbuilding, and now, when I feel a deload approaching, I switch it up. Instead of squats I will leg press, one example, for high reps for 2 to 3 weeks. Instead of loaded barbell rows I will bump up the reps with lighter loads. Since my bench sucks I just drop one set off my usual five, and only do 1 to 2 heavy sets before my higher rep ones, instead of 3 heavy and 2 light. I also cut a set of my accessories, and even drop one now and then. After a good two weeks, my CNS bounces back, and I was still able to make some progress during that time.
These dips you speak of Ive experiences them. What I normally do is go light for the day and complete the workout. If the next day the DIP still persists I will do another “light day” followed by a rest day with an adjustment to my fats for added energy. Seems to do the trick. I like to listen to my body, it’ll tell me when I’m deficit in fats and when to rest.
I always trained for strength but with a physique orientation to it. I didn't just want to be strong and look like a bag of crap, nor did I want to look strong and be weak.
When you're a novice, stick with the basics. Absolutely true! The biggest problem, tho, is that it's sometimes hard to convince people who have been at the gym for six months that they are novices. 😂
I do a Push Pull Legs split on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, mixing up moderate barbell work with accessories then active rest Wednesday which is generally an arm day, then Thursday is a high rep day of 5 pull up, 10 dumbbell bench press (60 lbs) and barbell back squat 15 (135 lbs) or if my ppl split fatigued me ill do bodyweight pull ups, pushups and bodyweight squats of 20 rounds then Friday is high rep deadlifts (225 lb.)and standing overhead dumbbell (2-50 lb.) press reps of 21 15 9 9 15 21, Thursday and Friday is literally focusing on the most basic movements, since doing this my lifts are getting stronger, form especially has gotten better and im getting great power lifting with hypertrophy, im a small guy so i dont have the genetics for really hitting anything to brag about but im giving it my all for what i can do and be as strong as i can possibly be
Love the longer content Bromley. I remember in the past you had reviewed Texas Style, the book. Been looking for more lifting books and would love a tier list or some suggestions!
I like Mike T’s perspective of time to peak. That a deload, reset, pivot, etc has more to do with reaching our peak within a training block more so than fatigue building (although could very well go hand in hand)
I'm a huge proponent of instinctive training in certain cases...but most the time that triggers people who say you MUST be on a program to make sustainable gains.
Thats because you end up doing a regular program, you just end up with rotating exercises and rest days, just because you haven't written it down doesnt mean it doesn't exist
@@NoNono-o3h you're definition would mean that everything is simply a "regular program"...... My definition would be- if something is a regular program it's a regular program, if its instinctive, it's going to be more irregular and tailored towward the individual on a daily basis. Not a "you must do this on this day"
@@shycreation9418 a program hs to be tailored to you to be good, again, if you are consistently hitting bodyparts in a pattern, you have a program, even if its not written down
@@NoNono-o3h He means that for example, if your program would say do x for 3 sets with 12 reps each, you yourself can adjust accordingly based on how you feel that day, either doing a different exercise that hits the muscle differently based on what you feel that you need, or doing a different set and rep structure, rather than mechanically following whatever is written on your exercise program.
The settings on any RUclips video can be adjusted to slow them down or speed them up. Most videos also have the ability to auto translate into subtitles for your preferred language.
Why’s the difference between strength training and Hypertrophy training? I’ve seen people say that sets of 1-4 are best for strength but surely this ply works for a couple of weeks / months then you need to gain muscle to raise that ceiling 🤔 Trying to figure my strength programming out for bjj and some people are saying I should be focusing on getting big and others are saying just to focus on the strength ranges (1-4).
Even at sets of 1-4 you are still gaining muscle. It won't be quite as much as with a higher rep range, but deloads for powerlifting and strongman are usually more for recovery, not lack of muscle growth(or strength outpacing muscle growth).
Sets of 8-12 are used for hypertrophy work due to being better for increasing volume (increased hypertrophy), and being easier to recover from as the weights are only moderately heavy.
@@lashedandscorned Wouldn’t it just make sense to do a heavy top set on a main movement for the day to handle the neurological side and then just train like a bodybuilder to build the muscle mass which is the primary driver of strength?
@donnie9365Awesome man I was running a variation of conjugate a while ago. Essentially doing a heavy single on max effort days followed by sets of 10 on accessory movements. On dynamic days was doing around 40% of straight weight + red bands for 5x5 then sets of 10 on accessories so it was very simple. How did you set it up?
5:42 "novices don't need to do that, it is one of the worse thing you can do novice, because Perfect...!! I've been looking for some small phrase to explain novices this concept, they all want to be doing hundreds of different exercises to bring SMALL muscles up... I tell them but they don't get it... now I will drill this one sentence into their heads until they get it if I see them doing boss bullcrap around the gym... these are people I know, no unsolicited advice.

Just like me, my program is on a spectrum
There was a guy at my gym who looked like a 185 lb accountant but was benching 450 lbs… that’s what I want to be. Lean, lanky, athletic and strong AF.

Can relate to the butt growth from strength training. My girlfriend rarely comments on my physique but is openly jealous of my ass
