      Do you do full body? Because I squat twice a week. I'm not the strongest down low but I've finally been able to embrace and love squatting, and my form is what I consider very good after 10 years of doing it. Sometimes I get sore knees and I feel like I'm over training. My biggest issue would be doing full body to keep my upper body strong because I spend an hour in the squat rack and when I'm finished I'm all but dead.

      Unloaded shipping containers by hand for 3 years 5-6 days a week for 10-12 hours a day. We emptied 20-53 foot long containers filled with boxes of construction hardware that weighed 40-90 lbs stacked 5 feet high or floor to ceiling. I was very overweight in the beginning and lost 55lbs and gained a good amount of muscle. My body was tired all of the time, my mood was bad, and my sex drive was dead. Even though I left that job half way through the pandemic my body still feels it in the joints, especially my back, shoulders, and knees.

      We see this in bigger people, too. If you’ve ever known someone who was overweight/obese for most of their lives and then lost weight, their thighs and calves are amazing. Because then going about their daily lives with the extra weight on them essentially functioned as a low-intensity daily workout.

      My friend grandfather was a body builder and he taught us how to train… like a body builder. You work out everyday and you get one rest day. By the end of rhe week you should hit every muscles group atleast once… with the exception of the muscle group that was the weakest. So if you needed bigger arms you would do that everyday along with the normal routine. If your legs was small you would do that everyday. So what ever was lagging is what you would hit everyday. And of course you had to eat eat eat. If you dont eat you will get strong but you wont grow as big as the guy who eats

    I have trained like this for the last 15 years... full body 5 days a week, one exercise per body part and one set for each exercise with no less than 12 reps but I will go to failure.... So if come Friday, I am doing 18 reps, the next Monday I will add weight and go through the next week again with the new weight and keep adding each week as long as I am getting 12 or more reps at the end of the week... I have lifted since I was 14 and been a trainer for over 20 years and this by far has given me better gains than any other style of training I have done.... And I always start with squats because they stimulate the most testosterone and help with all the other exercises, as far as strength induction.... I should also mention that I will stretch this out throughout the entire day... When you work in a gym or have a gym at home, this is not an issue but for someone trying this style with a time restraint, make sure you give yourself at the very least, 5 minutes rest in between each exercise.... I always referenced this style of training as the “Metabolic Hike”.... If you keep doing different exercises throughout the day to failure, your metabolism is spiking a lot and it definitely helps shed some pounds and gain strength at the same time

    I used to do this with pull ups and push-ups every day, morning and night. For pull-ups, I just did one set per workout. Went to 12 reps then added weight until I could hit 12 reps before increasing the weight again. For push ups, I would go near failure, but only do one set in the morning and one set in the night. I had incredible, relatively speaking, pull-up and push-up numbers.
    I think this method primes your central nervous system to perform that specific motion.

    I know someone is watching this and is wondering if the same effect happens with just body squats and how many to do. Let me answer that for you: yes. Weight is weight, no matter the amount lifted. As for how many, you'll want to do however many it takes to get you to 80%-70% what you can handle for the day. If you've never done squats, start with doing 25-50 and after a week or 2, bump that up to 70-100. You dont need to go crazy high, but I know guys training for pro wrestling that hit 500 every other day so you determine where your long term ceiling is.

  • @wilkamania

    I remember seeing a cory gregory squat everyday video, and then decided to see what would happen if I squatted everyday. The issue was I hadn't lifted in 6 mo, super out of shape, and was lifting to escape some demons at that time. Previously I always stalled out at about 315 for reps, and I was curious if I could ever hit 405.
    My very first day I was happy to get to 295, but my body felt strained in pumping that out. Went down to struggling with 135 by day 5. I took a day off rested, the next day did 225 for reps, then all of a sudden I was back up at 315 not too long after. It taught me what the body was capable of, but also that I needed to rest lol. Needless to say I was super happy when I hit 405 x5 for working sets on day 25. I was even more surprised at how easy 315 felt at the time as I deloaded and did that the last 5 days.
    I'm trying to hop back in it yesterday after a long time off (over a year), and stopped at 225, listening to my body telling me to chill out. But it got me excited to go back today!

    I try not to exercise the same muscles every day. I realized that my forearms and abs are growing the most. Those muscles are recruited in every workout that I do eveyday. 🤦‍♂️ Now I know frequency Is the correct answer.

    Day 5: Off day cardio (ex. Brisk walk or steady state bike/ row machine work)

    * works for all lifts except for DLs after you hit a max rest next day then start the 70-90% and s/s cardio work

      I had 4 years of lifting exp when I started this. Bench was good at 255, OHP at 165 and DL was 455. Squat was horrible tho just inexperience from being a bro dude and hating the squat. Now cause I can hit 315 I love it 🤣

      @SteveDab317 Před rokem

      There isn’t a magic number that works for everyone. I think the best thing is to take good notes, journal, and listen to your body. To decrease intensity you can adjust the weight you are lifting, the type of squat you are doing and/or adjust the rest period between sets. There are probably additional ways of adjusting intensity also. If you look at my ‘shorts’ videos you will see my daily squat routine along with the variations that I use

  • @TheAlexmercer360batmanfan

    So basically you have to change your way of looking at the concept of "hard work".
    You have to focus your effort on accumulating as much volume as you can throughout the day.....
    but you also have to focus on accumulating your volume THROUGHOUT the month as well....
    and that means staying well within your recoverable volume EVERY SINGLE day. In other words staying FRESH, waking up FRESH and recovered each day.
    You have to focus on the quality of your reps, as in how good your form is. *You have to understand if you do too many hard sets that will affect your ability to accumulate volume in the upcoming days.....*
    So generally speaking, 2-3 sets till failure intermittently IN ONE WEEK is fine, but more than that will compromise recovery the next day.
    Having said that, one must understand that you must hit your fast twitch motor units as well, which only happens within 3-4 reps before failure.
    If you are working within a 10 rep max range, thats fine, you can do 5-6 reps per set, doing as many sets as possible while staying fresh, could be 3 sets 4 hours apart or even 8 sets, depends on lifestyle...
    But if you are doing normal push ups or bodyweight squats you have to program at least 2 sets till failure each week, or fast twitch fibres wont get hit. Your muscle growth wont be optimal.
    So mostly working on one arm push ups, one arm one leg push ups (feet elevated eventually), handstand push ups, some type of pull up variation leading up to the one arm pull ups, whatever allows you to stay within that 15-20 rep max range..... Would be the most beneficial, if you are looking to eliminate sets till failure entirely.
    This is the only way I train because I compete in MMA and staying fresh while getting bigger and stronger is important for me.
    Also the diet rules cant change, if you are looking to get stronger and bigger over time, you have to keep getting your bodyweight up over time, progressive overload only happens when it is also in your diet. Especially when your body is your barbell, that barbell needs to keep getting heavier.
    Love your knowledge and wisdom guys, keep up the good work.

    • @jermaineayivoh8263
      @jermaineayivoh8263 Před 4 měsíci

      5x5/5x3 with daily undulation/ variations of squatting.
      Example:
      Monday 3 Sets Back Squats/ 2 Sets Pin Squats
      Tuesday 3 Sets Back Squats / 2 sets Pin Squats
      Wednesday 5 Sets Front Squats
      Thursday No Squatting (Do other muscle groups)
      Friday 3 Sets Pause Squats / 2 Sets of Pin Squats
      Saturday 3 Sets Squats (Only 1 heavy set and the other 2 back off sets and that’s it, leave out the last 2 sets to ease recovery for Monday the following week).
      Sunday Rest Day
      During your training days Monday through to Saturday incorporate and train all of your other muscles groups (chest/back/shoulders/triceps/ abs/biceps etc), but leave Sunday to recover and do no heavy training. Light cardio at maximum.
      Repeat the following week and try to add between 5/10lbs on your squatting from week to week.
      Note that you will need to keep up with your back strength in order to support putting on more and more weights on your squats as weeks pass, so don’t neglect training your back muscle.
      Auto regulate. If on a certain day squats are feeling heavier than usual and you aren’t feeling too fresh, drop 1 set or 2 to enable better recovery for the following days.
      Don’t force anything if your body isn’t up to it. Try to keep your sets at RPE 8-9.5 at maximum.
      Especially drop 1 set or 2 on days that you feel that your reps are super grindy and you might approach RPE 10 sets if you try to go for all 5 sets. Live to fight another day.
      Avoiding RPE 10 sets will enable you to squat 4-5 per week and add weight on the bar week to week.
      Also note that once you added 5-10 pounds on the bar for the following week, do not try and force your body to do the 3 “heavy sets” with the new weight if your body doesn’t feel capable of it without grinding them out. Do 1 set with the new weight and if that felt pretty difficult, drop the weight back down for the last 2 “heavy sets” to what you did the previous week before you do the 2 variation sets (such as the Pin Squats).
      Give your body time to get used to the new weight. Doing challenging sets THAT DO NOT approach all out RPE 10 sets are the key to be able to continuously progress without burning out!
