Making Faster Gains

How To Gain Size & Strength Faster

Overview Discussion
For a long time now ive bought into the less is more analogy. ..but im not so sure anymore !!!!!!!

I think if you train sensibly, you can hit bodyparts more and still allow for recovery. Just about to experiement this with bis, a bodypart that lags.

just a thought but would % of fibre types not play a part in awnsering this, and therefore different for everyone?.. i don't know its just me thinking out loud lol.
 
Good video. I enjoyed that and definitely some interesting points to consider. Knowing when its time to ease off will be useful of course but the logic is sound.

On an unrelated note, still awaiting my shoutout?
 
Good video really enjoyed it- thanks for doing it

I think I could definitely do with training squats twice a week

Will be interesting to see what others think of this

For those that train the lifts twice a week how do you organise?

Low volume squat/ heavy DL
BP
High volume squat/ DL variation
BP

Any thoughts? @Dig

when i trained one lift per week when i first started getting into powerlifting i made gains, on 531 first time i used it i saw my weights go up, tried it twice since then and i went backwards or stalled, personally now i need to train each lift twice a week to keep progressing, everyone is diff, liam is still making gains on 531 so just shows how different we all are.

frequency over volume for me.
 
I agree fully...always have done.
Now some times volume needs to be very low but frequency should always be high.
 
good thoughts.. ( my comp didn't load the vid at first, hence my first post as i never seen the vid lol ) ... its took me a while but im now training heavy 2x per week and progressing but too early for me to feel exp enough to talk
 
interesting thoughts Dig... I think the point re recovery is key... if you can recover then why not, changing up is a good thing when its needed... not so much when its not... I would say though that doing max weights each time will burn you out when it comes to strength training... but sub max can certainly offer benefits just look at the 5x5 program and its associate programs... I think youre right mentioning not to go crazy too... too many just jump straight in then say "nope doesnt work" when they kill themselves... do you think that there is a place for higher freq training upon return from an injury for eg?? just thinking in terms of playing catch up?
 
I don't have a set number of sets now either , being doing RTS and stopping when "fatigue" sets in , as before I'd do tonnes of sets and not get anywhere strength wise which was frustrating just glad I've finally found what works best for me.
 
@Dig good video mate, but at first glance thought I was watching the goonies..............whats his name the one who says "aye you guys" :)

Train like Dan Green, heavy, 5 days a week, lots of volume, lots of exercises hitting multiple bodyparts, eat an absolute shedload, become swole and strong!

But then again he's a bit special lol

I think a few (and I was same tbh) have mindset that training with volume and multiple days can't be done, but lets face it, if food and supps are in there then it can....also...saw a good post by Tom Martin, not many will know the guy, looks like a heavy metal fan, lol long hair, tall, not massive....can deadlift 360kg and good squatter and bencher at 90kg......and he squats nearly everyday....his reasosning is there is NO recovery, he just crawls out of bed and fukin gets on with it.....at first you'll get weaker then become accustomed....just like the smolov approach etc and how the Russians train...

Il be firs to admit ive moaned like a bitch about recovery etc, but its a case of shit diet imo for me, not enough to make me recover and fight through it.
