The best thing I did on max efforts days is have phases of 'heavy efforts' and phases where i try to get a true max on. Max effort day doesnt always mean it is a test day. Plus hit a 5-10lb pr and just move on, leave a little bit of something in the tank
Depends on your programming and what you're doing on your off time that can be fixed, but it might pay off to use a lower % 1 rm or the rir tool in your training.
I would have that issue when my nutrition wasn't where it should be. Make sure you're getting enough protein (I go with 1.5g/kg of lean body mass) and enough carbs to fuel your workouts. Maybe experiment with frequency. If you're hitting muscles before they recover, you're going to compound your recovery issues.
Make sure you are recovering properly between your leg sessions (Law of 72 hours). Look at the intensity and volume of each session too. You might just be doing too much, too often. Good luck man!
Having leg day is like that to some extend. I'd recommend spliting leg day into 2 workouts with other muscles like arms or back and a lot of active recovery like walking or swimming. Sleep is also key.
@@phantomcreamer ive been using resistance bands and high volume to do my workouts becuase I dont have access to weights. I think my problem is that im doing too much volume so im going to have to experiment with that.
First of all, love the videos and have learned a lot of valuable information from them within the last year or so. Having said that, I’m now helping a struggling high school develop a weight lifting program and am wondering how much of this I can implement into that program? Could your powerlifting program translate the same way?
Is there anyway you can go over the sleep habits for law enforcement? For example, testosterone levels are usually highest during the evening past 8pm correct? If I switch from day shift to night shift, I’m struggling to sleep during the day, taking small naps. I also have to workout during the day, to make myself tired to sleep for 12hr night shifts. Am I losing testosterone? Does my body have enough time to adjust, because we switch back and forth between days and nights every 6 weeks.
I really laughed when he mentioned not being able to get 200 grams of protein in potato chips. I know it's supposed to be serious, but the thought of eating enough potato chips to get to 200 grams is insane.
Hello Matt, been doin 5x6’s for a month and a half now. I am 50yrs old and currently lifting 280 for 5x6. Should I be doin 5x6 weekly? What could you suggest for optimal programming. I have noticed that My recovery week to week is taking longer. Maybe back off on the weight? Keep up the great videos 👊🏻💪🏻
Total maverick with a very high quality info per word ratio. I'm looking forward to finally doing a proper warm up with the Wenning warm up. Much appreciated
My biggest issue is recovery. Always sore and when I step into my bed and put my head on my pillow, I am completely *OUT*. Does it means my body is overly exhausted? This overcomes me every evening.
@@loganfluegel925 Yeah, I don;t have lots of stress.... just a ''normal healthy pressure'' so to speak. But man, I can sleep all day if I want. If i wake up in the middle of the night to see the toilet, my body feels completely trash.
@@Beats-By-Anthony have you checked your hormones? Also, maybe you have sleep apnea? If you have even mild sleep apnea you will feel like you are never getting enough sleep, i have it myself
Matt, I'm just getting into your content so I'm sure you've covered it I'm preparing myself to try out for Special forces in the Army. Been in already for 7 years I don't want to give up lifting for calisthenics completely but was wondering if you had information / content on program structuring that included muscular endurance I run 3 times a week and throw a ruck march in there. Looking to do a conjugate style 3 days a week that involves endurance for upper body Thanks mate

Recovery is the biggest problem ive been having. Ive been sore for 5 days after my last 2 leg days

Yes with proper modifications

Depends on your lifestyle and outside the gym stressors too, also diet comes into play.
