What an amazing find your channel was. No BS, perfect, real training advice, not just the basic gimmicks like calories in, calories out, upper/lower splits, blablabla everyone knows the echo chamber that people continue to talk about. Thank you for all your insights.
I totally agree with the last part about just letting a PR happen, your always so stoked when it happens randomly. Good way to enjoy it and your more than likely stick with your training.
unknowing the possibility of plus or minus up to 20% variation of our daily strength , was driven me crazy i thought we should always able to maintain same strength most days
Very well said. Adaptation can be stimulated but not controlled, and learning how to keep it going is another constant endeavour that goes parallel to it.
I find it happening to me especially on the squat: i add weight, do less reps and it feels good but as i add more reps over the weeks to get towards the top end of the rep range I sometimes have to perform very high effort sets like RPE 9-10 or even rest pause to get the last rep and I'm not sure what to do to avoid this
So in otherwords, focus most of your training in the, call it, 5-10 rep range for hypertrophy and let the strength that should naturally come with the added sized come in its own time?
yup. loving your insights. sharp - intelligent - elite lifts. super athletic. inspired me to explore of a range of lifts / styles every day this year while squatting every second day....hopefully consistency will bring some improvements.
0:57 would you say the muscle contributions overlap as you finish your novice phase or does it happen a bit earlier ? edit: i realised there are week indicators at the bottom... are these for whenever you begin a new strength program or just lifting in general ?

Amen brother. This truth should be spoken of more broadly.

I start at 8 reps for a weight, every week I add 1 more rep until I get to 15, then I up the weight and go back to 8 reps

After you finish the novice phase probably, although that point is going to be different for everyone.
Aww I thought muscle growth and strength gains were logarithmic, but the graph you posted is more logistic
Progressive Overload doesnt mean just adding weight to the bar it could be more reps or sets too.
But aren't we supposed to train harder as we go forward? Harder is defined by rpe imo if not then why do deload exists ?
you have to go forward before you can train harder
