Yo Elliot! can I workout all those (power, strenght, hypertrophy, endurance) at the same time. For example, one week I do power stuff, next week strenght, etc... and I restart all over again on next month, so that I mix all things up and get on better shape in all aspects? Thanks!
YO Elliot! can you give me some more examples of power workouts, im trying to use this info to make myself a good mma workout program. thanks again for the vids!
i dont believ in slow tempo or long TUT. A longer TUT with loads >60% kills the CNS too fast. The CNS needs so long to recover, especially with big compound movements.
I thrust in using the shortest possible TUT, to fire the biggest MEs for IIb fibres recruitment.
I even recomend this for hypertrophy. Doing the last set as an burnout set with a long TUT is absolutly OK, but not every rep.
I agree with everything except maybe the tempo which in my opinion doesnt have to be this way.. its not that its better another way but making yourself do a 1 rep lifting a really REALLY heavy weight SLOWLY forces your mind to focus your nerve input? anyway its said in english lol but the fact is that you can manipulate de tempo to further enhance the effect of each type of intensity/rep/set/rest combo :) just my 2 cents
This topic aint that serious. High reps, about a minutes rest. Low/heavy reps, 2-3mins. No need for a long, drawn out video. I lost interest after a minute. Keep it short n sweet dude
@guysapire that's because they're beginner programs and therefore have slightly higher reps so you can gain maximise both strength and muscle. though I do agree hypertrophy can also be higher then 15 reps.
@thehasanin if you're spending 2h in a gym you're doing something wrong. Kicking the shit out of your muscles for 45min to 1h should be enough. I think eliott also has a video explaining this.
to answer your question, no. you CAN do all three at once, with gains in all three. But your gains for a specific style wont be the same as if you only trained for that. To be honest, i think the most notable problem would be the correlation between strength and endurance. endurance is improved through aerobics, which tend to break down the body (mostly fat). Results in strength are best when you gain a vast amount of weight (both fat and muscle). like 100lbs. seriously.
So as I martial artist, what I want is probably power, strength and endurance, am I right? Thanks for the vid I really appreciate it. Been looking for something like this for a long time. I knew you had the answer! =)
I don't know what kind of bodybuilder would do 12 second reps, that just seems stupid. Also powerlifters can rest for much longer than 4 minutes between sets.
Hey Elliot, I want mostly hypertrophy and realize what now to do thanks, but i was curious would it maximize hypertrophy by doing strength for a month or so to lift more weight to get more hypertrophy. Thanks for the video answering this question would really help me out thanks.
I cant speak for Elliot but coming from a similar westside background I can say in my own opinion that such pure a hypertrophy approach is near sighted. Sarcoplasmic hypertrophy is very transient. One bad injury, illness or just pure life that gets you out of the gym and its gone. You myofibrillar hypertrophy which is far less pronounce in terms of size and comes from strength training sticks with you longer and gives you that strong base you can fall back on.
How much more strength will you obtain from strength training? Because when you do hypertrophy training the last sets for example you get low reps. And does having a llot of muscle tissue improve your potential strength you have with the available muscle (not talking about natural potential or something).
@SinWithCheese Yes it is. Triceps have 3 muscles in them hence the tri meaning 3 and the Bicep only has two. This is why triceps are usually bigger than biceps
awesome vid!!!!!!, only question i got is which one is best for losing fat? assuming one is also on a healthy diet of course,, if you reply ill shit myself haha naw but would be pretty sweet
How come you don't do much networking with other youtube fitness folks? I know most of them are full of sh*t, but are there any other channels you would recommend, or guys/gals you would work with?
in your strength and hypertrophy recommendations is the number of sets per muscle group or per exercise, and if it's per exercise, then how many exercises per muscle group per workout would you recommend for those 2 types of training?
@strengthcamp nice vid man. but i have a question. With each type of training how often do u recommend u should increase your weight. for example how often should i work at 5 to 8 reps (thats the rep range i usually work in) before i increase to heavier weight? thanks for your time bro
Great video. and man this guy knows his shit and thank you so much for willingly giving this kind of information out. There may be some controversy for the # of reps and sets for strength instead of 1-3 and 3-5 it can be 1-5 and 1-5 as long as the sets x reps add up to around 10 reps in total. But AWESOME video.
Great video. One question: Where would a goal of fat loss fit in there? Obviously you want weight training when going for fat loss, but would your programs lean toward endurance (i.e. cardio) or perhaps in the strength category? Thanks!
Bit confusing. Are you saying do 2-3 sets in a hypertrophy programme for a full chest workout? Or multiple exercises 2-3 sets....if so why stop at 3 sets per exercise?

Yo Elliot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We need a video on the best routine for aesthetics AND a HOW TO video on clean & jerk / olympic snatch. Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!
oh man sik vid bro! but with the power style, to me it seems kinda weird doin 1 rep of say a jump squat and then rest for 3-5mins!?? and only do 8 reps in total? could u explain how this would build power the most efficiently cos to me that seems whack lol
@andolee21 it may take the nervous system up to 10x longer than the muscles to recover from a movement. So you might not "feel" the need to recover in your muscle, but your nerves will continue to become fried. Of course, you have to test to discover the optimal time for yourself.
@strengthcamp alright makes sense, does that mean that if i do alot of power movements then i need to take more deloads and full weeks off to give my nervous system a break more than the regular hypertrophy joe?
Great video very useful. I have a question though whats the reason for the long rests for explosive power exercises? Is this method more effective at building explosiveness than using these types of exercises in a muscular endurance style training as in high reps and short rest times?
Hey Elliot! First of all thank you for these videos they are awesome. And Secondly, I am really wanting to increase mass on my legs, so what number of exercises per workout would you recommend me. I am training with about 5 to 6 exercises (squat, press,lunges,deadlift,extension and curl) in Hypertrophy mode. Some help please, i have noticed some progress just would like to know if you have any recommendations. Thanks and Merry Christmas from Mexico.
Eliot ! thank you for the knowledge you drop on us weekly. Ive been training for about 8 years, and ive taken my experience and knowledge and fused it with yours and i feel like a completely different person. Just wanted to let you know im one of the 10% that takes you serious. Keep up the good work :)
i truly respect how well you can communicate with a camera to make such a good video, i almost feel like your speaking to a person whos talking back. deff a good quality for someone making videos.
Yo Elliot! I don't go to a gym, and have very limited equipment, so when I do dumbell chest presses I use a weight with an intensity around 85% with sets around 6-12, and rest between 45 to 60 seconds, and about 5-7 sets... Is this wrong to do? Should I just stick to one strict training ground?
Thanks Elliot, I've been arguing with my boss about doing this training as opposed to hist sets or one set with 10 seconds TUT as many reps as possible.. insane.. but thats what he believes.. THANK YOU
Yo Elliot!!! I just want to thank you for sharing all your knowledge with us. You have helped me so much in achieving my goals; I am forever grateful.
What would my weight training be classed under? I typically do 8 Sets of 12-15 Reps (sometimes more reps in the case of deadlifts and weighted squats) with an Intensity of 85-95% plus and a resting period of anywhere between 60 seconds to 2 mins.
Bit confusing. Are you saying do 2-3 sets in a hypertrophy programme for a full chest workout? Or multiple exercises 2-3 sets....if so why stop at 3 sets per exercise?
Yo Elliot, is your TUT based on one rep? Especially for hypertrophy workouts. If I'm doing hypertrophy I try to keep tension between reps. If I'm doing strength I'm more likely to take a breath and release tension for an instant.
I noticed in one of your vids awhile back you had a BFS book, and you said it was good shit i believe. Or something along that line...lol. Do you use their set rep system, or a variation of it, or just something from your own research?
How about the dynamic effort method used in a lot of Westside programs? 60% of your max weight, moving the bar as fast as you can for around 3 reps. It's seems most like the power spectrum, but with more than one rep, is this similar to what you explained around 2:50?
@Maazersmiit what you are talking about is mixing variables which is a valid way to build strength and muscle, especially for highly evolved athletes.... this is also the basis for my lean hybrid muscle training, so I use these ideas a lot.
@strengthcamp This slightly contradicts what i have learned: Should I do Hypertrophy or Strength or gain muscle mass? And if you have a large amount of muscle mass, will you not have a high strength? Sorry I'm slightly new to this.
@strengthcamp yo elliot does the same apply for lower body exercises like squats when refering to strength and hypertrophy? i have heard that the rep range should be a bit higher for both is that true?
Heres my question call me stupid but exactly how much weight should i be lift for strength training. I usually lift so that i would hit failure on the last rep is this right. Thanks nathan
quick question man: for hypertrophy, you say that the tempo is 313..which is a 7 second rep. so with the T.U.T. you've given be like 2 reps? (6-12 seconds). Just a little confused about that. Thanks!!
Excellent summary of various methods. People seem to always interested in the 'best' routine, which of course, ain't no sucha thing. Personally, I love training the Max OT method. A very short & efficient method for muscle/strength training. If time is your enemy & getting more muslce along with strength are the goals, it'd be hard to find a better routine... imo
I was taking 2 minute rest interval during hypertrophy training (but i was doing one extra set of reps), i'm gonna test your theory next month, hope it works.
Bit confusing. Are you saying do 2-3 sets in a hypertrophy programme for a full chest workout? Or multiple exercises 2-3 sets....if so why stop at 3 sets?
Bit confusing. Are you saying do 2-3 sets in a hypertrophy programme for a full chest workout? Or multiple exercises 2-3 sets....if so why stop at 3 sets?
@kombatcookie 2-3 sets per exercise. If you feel you need to do more chest exercises for "more hypertrophy", go for it. If you go past 3 sets with 10 reps, say 6x10 it's more endurance than hypertrophy/strength.
great great vid eliot! lots of good info,great job!but I was wondering what do the reps in between your prescribed numbers give the trainee.I saw what you told to someone else who asked this and I was also wondering,how can I test this, I mean doesn't take a very long time to see results?(which makes it complicated to compare say,hypertrophy-strength)
Yo Elliot, what's your opinion of Volume training for hypertrophy? Sometimes I like to throw in loads of sets of an exercise in a workout, say 7 sets of bench or something of the sort
@SHOCKandAWEathletics I totally understood the video. My question for you is this. Do you always make those shitty ass videos on your busted ass flip camera phone? Oh yeah, everyone is impressed with your shitty squats and lack of form. Is that your mother's basement or your Sandusky Rape Room? You sir SUCK AT LIFE...Merry Christmas.
@SHOCKandAWEathletics The video was responding to a question about rest intervals. Me mad? Never. You mad? I think so. Don't get butt hurt bro...you'll move out of your mom's basement one day and probably get a real girlfriend. If it helps you sleep, I'll watch the video again, then post the same question for ya. Does that work buddy? Happy New Year's!
@BeatFRK regardless of what you say or what youtube games you try and play "really mature by the way" your question was still answered in depth.............
@SHOCKandAWEathletics Youtube games? You actually started with your comment. If it's a stupid question, then let it be. Why do you need to throw in your opinion? Again, I'll do something that's "really mature by the way" and say glad to hear your are back from your injury but dude seriously...it was just a question. Why should you or I waste anymore time arguing about that? Pointless in my eyes.
@BeatFRK ok forget it man i just like to stare pointless arguments when i board, its my deload week and im going crazy. I was just really surprised that you asked that question.
@churde Apparently you haven't watched all of Elliot's videos, because he talks about politics/economics in some of them. You're the one who should go elsewhere.
I'm feeling like this is a little too simple, making it out to be more black and white than it is... Not saying it doesn't work, it does. Just seems like its bypassing a lot of exercise possibilities that can be done by setting strict parameters like this. Anyway, good stuff, thanks.
Very informative, thanks boss. No offense (because I don't see that one is superior to the other) but despite your strong, charismatic personality, im gonna guess that your actually an introvert. Just a vibe I get. :)

What would my weight training be classed under? I typically do 8 Sets of 12-15 Reps (sometimes more reps in the case of deadlifts and weighted squats) with an Intensity of 85-95% plus and a resting period of anywhere between 60 seconds to 2 mins.

Bit confusing. Are you saying do 2-3 sets in a hypertrophy programme for a full chest workout? Or multiple exercises 2-3 sets....if so why stop at 3 sets per exercise?

when you say 4-12 seconds for hypertrophy is that for just one rep?
I usually do 4 second reps for 10 reps for hypertrophy.

@yongyu Yea, you definitely gain some strength doing hypertrophy training. I mean, have you ever seen a massive bodybuilder who is legitimately weak?

Yo Elliot, is your TUT based on one rep? Especially for hypertrophy workouts. If I'm doing hypertrophy I try to keep tension between reps. If I'm doing strength I'm more likely to take a breath and release tension for an instant.

I noticed in one of your vids awhile back you had a BFS book, and you said it was good shit i believe. Or something along that line...lol. Do you use their set rep system, or a variation of it, or just something from your own research?

How about the dynamic effort method used in a lot of Westside programs? 60% of your max weight, moving the bar as fast as you can for around 3 reps. It's seems most like the power spectrum, but with more than one rep, is this similar to what you explained around 2:50?

@Maazersmiit what you are talking about is mixing variables which is a valid way to build strength and muscle, especially for highly evolved athletes.... this is also the basis for my lean hybrid muscle training, so I use these ideas a lot.

@strengthcamp This slightly contradicts what i have learned: Should I do Hypertrophy or Strength or gain muscle mass? And if you have a large amount of muscle mass, will you not have a high strength? Sorry I'm slightly new to this.

@strengthcamp yo elliot does the same apply for lower body exercises like squats when refering to strength and hypertrophy? i have heard that the rep range should be a bit higher for both is that true?

Heres my question call me stupid but exactly how much weight should i be lift for strength training. I usually lift so that i would hit failure on the last rep is this right. Thanks nathan

quick question man: for hypertrophy, you say that the tempo is 313..which is a 7 second rep. so with the T.U.T. you've given be like 2 reps? (6-12 seconds). Just a little confused about that. Thanks!!

Excellent summary of various methods. People seem to always interested in the 'best' routine, which of course, ain't no sucha thing. Personally, I love training the Max OT method. A very short & efficient method for muscle/strength training. If time is your enemy & getting more muslce along with strength are the goals, it'd be hard to find a better routine... imo

I was taking 2 minute rest interval during hypertrophy training (but i was doing one extra set of reps), i'm gonna test your theory next month, hope it works.

@kombatcookie 2-3 sets per exercise. If you feel you need to do more chest exercises for "more hypertrophy", go for it. If you go past 3 sets with 10 reps, say 6x10 it's more endurance than hypertrophy/strength.

@kombatcookie 2-3 sets per exercise. Not 2-3 sets per workout. Hypertrophy is all about beating the shit of the muscle

great great vid eliot! lots of good info,great job!but I was wondering what do the reps in between your prescribed numbers give the trainee.I saw what you told to someone else who asked this and I was also wondering,how can I test this, I mean doesn't take a very long time to see results?(which makes it complicated to compare say,hypertrophy-strength)
idanpeleg211294 2 months ago
Yo Elliot, what's your opinion of Volume training for hypertrophy? Sometimes I like to throw in loads of sets of an exercise in a workout, say 7 sets of bench or something of the sort

@SHOCKandAWEathletics I totally understood the video. My question for you is this. Do you always make those shitty ass videos on your busted ass flip camera phone?

@SHOCKandAWEathletics Youtube games? You actually started with your comment. If it's a stupid question, then let it be. Why do you need to throw in your opinion? Again, I'll do something that's "really mature by the way" and say glad to hear your are back from your injury but dude seriously...it was just a question. Why should you or I waste anymore time arguing about that? Pointless in my eyes.

I'm feeling like this is a little too simple, making it out to be more black and white than it is... Not saying it doesn't work, it does. Just seems like its bypassing a lot of exercise possibilities that can be done by setting strict parameters like this. Anyway, good stuff, thanks.
