I saw your comments above about your training program, and it looks similar to somethin like Brozknows. I just need one thing answered though! How are you jack diesel in the house!? You got a crunkazoidal physique(no homo..) and without days off (I know its possible to train like that) but how to gain muscle.
@cbassthebass Of course I'm inspired by John Broz's training philosophy and the results he gets with his athletes. But I didn't quite believe in it up until I tried it for myself. Well training for mass and for strength can have common grounds to a certain extent. But to get real results you eventually have to choose and specialize in the one you wanna become great at. Training frequently will keep you lean though. That's more what I'm interested in right now, being lean and strong!
@mojomatt176 well program is simple. Squat (or front Squat) and Deadlift (or variation) everyday. Pyramiding up as heavy as possible for one set. When rest is needed, do 40-60% for a few speed sets or go to the swimming pool, do something! Light lifting is much much better than complete rest to recover. Assistance work: 1 or 2 out of the following, either bench press, seated press, rowing, pullups, tri's. Same plan for these, just higher reps.
@chezkenny and doing squats and deadlifts everyday isnt overtraining? lets say your body is somewhat sore but you feel motivated and like lifting, would that be a 40-60% day or just go for it? how do you know when you need rest? thanks for the help and your progress is astounding! do you ever incorporate the olympic lifts into your workouts anymore? any jumping or sprinting? or just pure powerlifting type training? last question, what are your thoughts on crossfit? thanks again!:)
@mojomatt176 Well overtraining is only training a matter of perspective. A weekend warrior can train 3x a week and be overtraining, meaning it's more than he's able to take. While on the other hand an elite athlete might be able to train everyday, multiple times a day and still make progress. Of course the training needs to be adjusted accordingly. But the thing is, the body will never do more than it's asked for. If you teach your body to recover in 7 days, it has no reason to recover quicker.
@mojomatt176 The body will be sore when you increase training frequency... haha! I've noticed that. But you'll be amazed to find out that your feeling isn't always a good indicator of your actual body state. After warmup on squat for example if the weight feels heavy on the shoulders at 50% you know you won't attempt more than 70%. But even if you do, it's no problem cause you will probably do 2 reps instead of 5 and stop it there. Always know what's your max reps at any given weights.
@mojomatt176 Rest is bad. I mean rest sleeping all day. Especially when going for high frequency. Always try to do something. At least a few sets of speed squat 3reps @ 40-50%, or sled pulls, or something. It really boosts recovery much more than just plain rest. Of course it's not always possible to train everyday unless you're a pro athlete. But if you have to take a couple off days for any reason. Start again with 2-3 days of speed work. Otherwise you can get small injuries.
@mojomatt176 Sometimes I incorporate clean pulls or push press for the sake of variety but most of it is just basic lifts, strength and speed. I don't know much about crossfit honestly and what lifts they use but I like the concept for conditioning and even losing fat. I've trained like that (several lifts in a row, as many round as possible) and it's far superior than cardio for me. Especially if you're interested in keeping as much lean body mass as possible.
@Honken thanks bro! Well I do as often as possible, 3-7x a week. But most workouts are speed pulls 40-75% or Deadlift variations. Today for instance I did Deadlift from 2inches deficit with a pause on the way up (2-3 inches from the floor) 3@550lbs. Tomorrow I'll do speed pull, sets of 3@180-210kg, and wednesday probably reverse bands Deadlift or Rack pulls for a heavy double or even single.

Excellent! I used to compete in olympic weightlifting and know the feeling of wanting to pull as often as possible! Training in general is one of the best things there is, but nothing beats tearing something heavy off of the floor!
