- What does the science actually say about how we should train to get bigger and stronger?
Get my new 10 week Powerbuilding System here: shop.jeffnippard.com/product/...
What's my Powerbuilding System all about?
‣ my best strength & size program to date designed for intermediate-advanced lifters
‣ you have the option to select a 4x/week or 5-6x/week version
‣ an Excel spreadsheet for tracking your progress
‣ a Technique Handbook explaining exactly how to break through sticking points
‣ full 10 week program (plus a max test week) including exact warm up sets, working sets, RPE, %1RM, and coaching cues for every exercise!
‣ video demos from me for every exercise
‣ a huge list of exercise substitutions
‣ detailed explanations of the entire program, and much more!
The program alternates between Full Body weeks and Upper/Lower weeks, like this:
Week 1 - Full Body [More strength focused]
Week 2 - Upper/Lower [More hypertrophy focused]
Etc...
Also, if you're a bit limited on equipment at the moment, no worries. I first ran through the program in a garage gym with just a power rack, some dumbbells and a few bands. There are some cable/machine options included, but there is also a full list of exercise substitutions for every exercise in the program. If you run into any other questions/concerns my coaching support team will be available to help you out as well.

How can we get really jacked and strong at the same time? A lot of people seem to think you can’t, (or you shouldn’t) because how you should train to get strong is supposedly very different from how you should train to get big. But I don’t quite agree with this.
It’s common to hear that if you want to get strong, you need to lift heavy weights for low reps and if you want to get big, you need to lift light to moderate weights for relatively higher reps.
Most personal trainers and textbooks outline clear and distinct rep zones for strength, hypertrophy and endurance. For strength: you lift heavy, for size: you lift moderate and for endurance: you lift light. And while there is some truth to this, it doesn’t capture the full picture.
The bottom line is: unless you’re going really, ridiculously light, heavy weights (low reps) AND light weights (high reps) are BOTH effective at building muscle. However, when it comes to strength, the rep range really does seem to matter: it is important to lift heavy to maximize top-end strength development.
In this video I will describe periodization and progression examples for powerbuilding (powerliftng plus bodybuilding) based on these principles.

I had a lot of fun getting creative with some of the graphics in this video and I really hope you guys find it informative! I think this is one of the most commonly misunderstood areas of training/programming, but the science is pretty straightforward. It's also a topic that feels really close to me, as I've had a strong passion for both bodybuilding and powerlifting for over 8 years (before that, I only really cared about bodybuilding). I personally think training is SO much more rewarding when you're not *just* focused on gaining muscle/losing fat/seeing visual improvements, but are also actually getting BETTER at the skill of lifting itself. In my opinion, improving performance should be the goal in the gym, regardless of what you want the outcome to be.
Also, let me know if you decide to pick up my new powerbuilding system! I genuinely think it's by far my most comprehensive program to date! If you're an intermediate-advanced level lifter looking for something new to run, check out the program description on my website to see if it's a good fit for you and your goals. Here's the link: jeffnippard.com. Peace!
So what about set volume within the split? Do you think we could add a couple sets of side delts if we know I generally do better with higher rather than lower volume?
Started the program this morning💪👍🏻
Mr. Jeff, I have watched all sorts of training fundamentals videos you made but I have a question, if I am following a full body workout routine, at least 4 times per week, how many total sets should be there in a day's workout. Regardless of what split I follow which has more training frequency, how many sets should be done in a particular training session regardless of muscle group we train. Right now I have super long and fatiguing workout, and I can't train well with this. Please guide me sir

this might be the highest quality video i’ve ever seen from you, Jeff! super super impressive, and easily the best powerbuilding video i’ve seen on youtube. freaking awesome seeing you continue to grow as a youtuber, bodybuilder, and powerlifter (and powerbuilder haha)
I must say, this is the second video I have watched of Jeff's and the camera skills and editing is top notch! It keeps the viewer engaged with the video really well.
Hey Jeff, just kicked off week 2 of your 4 day powerbuilding program. Really enjoying it so far and strength is already coming back quickly on my SBD (which admittedly I've neglected for ages). It's helped me find my motivation again after just going through the motions with typical bro split style training the last year or so.
Very comprehensive approach. I’ve tested all your programs, and they all helped me progress throughout my years of lifting. I’m sure this one will be amazing!
Started the program early this morning, coming from your full body high-frequency program this is very comfortable! It's a super exciting program I can't wait to see what progress me and others make. Great job Jeff!!!
@@joshanthonygriffin4531 not in detail, it’s suggested to do a 15-20% bulk, and general protein and fat intake but you’ll have to calculate it yourself, he has extensive videos topics discussing nutrition depending on your goal on his channel
How were the gains from the full body frequency program ?
Had to come back here and say it is true. My strength has increased. I’ve curled 70lbs dumbbells today. 🤯Thanks mate
This is probably the best training video I’ve watched from anyone, period. That’s up against the most influential fitness gurus out there. So much great information here. Thank you; this one is a game changer.
Great vid Jeff! Currently on week 3 of your fundamentals program and I love how you explain the science behind all of your practices and why you do things a certain way.
What’s so great about Jeff is that even though I learned nothing new as I’ve listened to many podcasts and read many studies, his production is so high that I feel so engaged the whole time. Powerbuilding is definitely my preferred way to train and having Jeff make an awesome video on it is a great thing! Thanks so much man. Will definitely be trying out the program!
That’s how I train too but this video is top notch
Perhaps the most erudite, practical, relavent and accurate channel on the internet. PURE GOLD and exemplary of excellence.

You've been my main source of lifting information and you never fail to deliver. Educated and clear every time again
I really like the way your videos have changed over time. The quality of this one using graphics, overlays and the different set-ups is great!
I'm running week 6 of his fullbody Program and I can Tell, these are the best gains of my life. Never lifted so much weight, the progression is Crazy and my body changed so much I cant believe It. It really Works. I only wished I had known his Program sooner.
From a coach, man i love how smart you train and your videos are so great to resume everything. You got it right. Always a pleasure :)
One of the most informative videos I’ve ever watched! I’m fairly new to lifting. A little under 2 years doing it (as a hobby). Started off very obese, got in the gym, and 100 lbs down and began to love powerlifting. I’ve done a lot of my own stuff, with some coaching help here and there. I’m currently on a coaching program, but once I’m done I plan to use this program next year!!! Losing so much weight + never really having an active lifestyle before that has absolutely killed my gains. Although I love the outcome of being “fit”, not being very strong bothers me ALOT! Can’t wait to try this out 🙌🏽
this is gold, i love the way u explain with pics/graphics, great work!

@@PendlayRoe he was talking about gym bros, so there is no optimal programming
Balls to the wall?!
Great job Jeff! I love that you bring more of the nuance around training to light. Super informative!
one thing i really love about your videos jeff, is that they are so easy to understand and digest, despite being shown so many studies and other data. thanks a lot!
Great work, Jeff. You pull together key info so concisely and the production quality really supports the transfer of information.
I love this video, it breaks barriers on every bodybuilding guide you’ve ever followed.
However I cannot stress enough because it was so understated in this video; that you can train as hard and effectively that you possibly can in the gym but if your nutrition is lacking you will not see progress regardless of what you do in the gym.
that’s not true
I love the effort you put into these, man! A.1. Currently running the full body high frequency one (which is amazing btw), but definitely gonna jump on this as soon I’m done!
I hope you see this Jeff!! Your programme is awesome bro. I hit a wall for quite a while, I done your programme and increased my 3 compound lifts by 15kg. Definitely a recommend. 🤙
One of the few people in the fitness industry who actually uses science and studies and comes with an unbiased approach, great videos!
the fact that he actually knows what hes talking about and knows the science is amazingly helpful
I'm really excited to start the power building program, just plugged in my number and gonna head to the gym after this video. Once again, amazing work Jeff!!!!!
Wow!! One of the best videos I've seen, it's informative, straight to the point, and kept me focused every second of it.
I just finished half of the video but i am already 'suprised' about the quality of your content ... again. Started watching your videos a couple of years ago befor i finished school and it helped me a lot for writing my own powerbuilding programms and generally train, eat and 'be' better.
Now i'm studying Human Factors and Sports Engeneering and started educating myself more and more about the human physiology ...
Nevermind, i just wanted to say that from my modest point of view, your videos are always a pleasure to watch and they help me a lot.
Especially for my CrossFit coaches training... Yes i switched from powerbuilding to crossfit.
I bought your powerbuilding program during preorder and got it last night. I read through it and it's one of the most well thought out programs I've seen. I can't wait to run through it after my current program
How’d it work for you?
@@stinkysanchez4271 haven't ran it yet
@@jtsandig how about now?
I always trust Jeff's advice, never biased and always informative regardless of what degree he has undertaken.
So I used to work in construction, and I never worked out because my job kept me in fairly good shape (Roofing and stonework). Two years ago I changed careers dramatically; I became a cook. Since then I've gained at least 40 lbs. and worse than that Ive lost a considerable amount of muscle mass. I never learned how to workout because I never needed to. You just inspired me to get my ass in a gym and get my body back, and then some. Thanks. This is easily the best explanation of weight training I have ever seen. Absolutely smashed that subscribe & like.
Really just wanted to drop a shout out of pure genuine appreciation for all of the information you present for us! Your videos are over top on quality, your focus on the science seems second to none. Thanks man!
I do something very similar to this but I mix in accessory work into a 5x5 program. I’ll add 1-3 3x12 sets into the end of my session. For example I’ll add tricep push downs after a bench day or lateral dumbbell raises on overhead press days. It works very well. It saves time and can be super-setted. It works VERY well.
This is exactly what I do. I like to do 5x5 compound work and then toss in exercises like curls, lateral raises, tricep extensions for 3x12-15 at the very end.
Damn Jeff, thats some top notch quality right there
hi jeff, just wanted to thank you for all of the content you release for free. i have never been able to lift heavy before due to an arm injury, so i figured it was just not worth lifting at all. i started this year, found your channel, and tried to just do more reps at a lower weight. i needed to lose weight and figured adding muscle couldn’t hurt.
while i still can’t lift heavy, i am proud to tell people i have been lifting weights, and i am proud to see results even though they aren’t significant yet. i was terrified to go to the gym, and now i look forward to it all day!
One of the best, well researched, clear guides I've ever seen. Thank you!
TIMING, PERFECT TIMING.
I found this to be great. My coach did exactly this. I work out 5 days a week so we went with 2x str days with 8 reps per activity groups of 4. Two Hypertrophy days with higher reps of 15 reps groups of 3-4 sets and one day of 5 sets of 10 with rest times similar to Hypertrophy.
One of the most authentic channel on CZcams.... keep helping me Jeff
I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately and how I train, and I’ve got to say I’m blown away. Really great video
We need more guys like Jeff in the industry
Omg amazing 👌💪
And we need a vlog about how to gain musle and strength with body weight ( push up / pull up / dips ) thank you 😘💪💪
I agree with this, I'm teaching this to my kiddos. Just work out well and hard and your body will do what it's supposed to do. The basic compound exercises are the foundation, I think everybody needs to learn this young. I have an exercise program too, but yours has more strategy. I've been following this dude for about a year and I love how he breaks everything down into a science.
Incredible info summarized to a practical point where it can be applied.
There’s usually a disconnect between theory & application, however, you nailed it. Thank you.
Every Jeff Nippard video has such a high replay potential. I think I’ve watched this vid alone at least 20 times
Yeah same. Theres so much useful information in one vieeo
I've been in to 4x 10-12 rep for body building which took 45-60 minutes in the gym but switched roughly 25 years ago to 3x5 because of TIME in the gym. Its worked for me occasionally adding 3/4x 10-12 protocol
Damn you’re hittin me with a lot of condensed knowledge and I’m lovin it! I don’t usually subscribe to fitness people but your videos are concise, not clickbait, backed by science, AND look fantastically edited. Hits all the high notes chief.
*chef kiss*
There’s nothing wrong with this vid in of itself but Jeff should really start promoting Conjugate. It allows you to do high volume high intensity at the same time because using different variations of a lift reduces injury risk from overuse. It also brings up weak links like if you’re good at the flat barbell bench but not dumbbell, close grip, incline, swiss bar, pin or floor press. Watch Alpha Destiny’s video on maxing out weekly from a couple months ago, he was on the channel doing a bench off with Jeff a few years ago. Another thing is that I think Jeff is still separating size and strength a bit. In this vid he emphasizes that you can build muscle at rep range but the research that shows that isn’t using advanced lifters as in people who have been training properly for 5-10 years. If all that mattered was volume then doing 20 reps is better than doing 12-10. Example having a 1 RM of 315 and you do 12 reps of 220 that’s 2640 of volume. 20 reps of 189 is 3780. 30 reps of 157.5 would be 4725. Any of us who have gotten past the novice stage knows this isn’t true
If we understand that at least 70% intensity is optimal for less advanced lifters then why wouldn’t higher intensity be optimal for advanced? And that’s exactly what we see. Even with max intensity like maxing out 2 a week advanced lifters still take a year to add 10-20 pounds to a lift. People who don’t do higher intensity and or conjugate tend to stagnate like Will Tennyson and Jesse James West for example. Jesse showed 340 bench a few months back and hasn’t moved from that far as we know. He did a handful of 315 reps against Brandon Walsh. Will showed a smooth 330 6 months ago and in his last maxing out vid he was struggling to put up 325. Higher frequency could help them but at some point they need to take the real next step. This goes back to the whole RPE/RIR debate. Greg Doucette is right in that if you just stick to their type of training you need to leave 0 reps in the tank to make better gains but if you were doing the proper balance of volume/intensity for your experience level then most of us need to leave reps in the tank on most sets to avoid fatigue
If you’re still confused about how size and strength end up correlating long term it’s because past the novice stage 90% of your strength is from how much muscle you have. A “bodybuilder” who decides to start lifting heavy could go from 315 to 350 in a month from neurological gains but after that they aren’t getting stronger without gaining muscle. AD has 2 good vids titled Just Get Strong and Max Strength=Max Size
I think this is your best video you've ever made. Such good quality, such valuable information, presented so well. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
This is literally the best fitness video i've seen in years.
Top notch planning, periodization and exercising insights
I love how you explain everything so thoroughly and I love the use of graphs and charts. Fantastic page and one of my favorite CZcams page on weightlifting.
My goodness. THIS IS SUCH A GREAT AND INFORMATIVE AND CLEAR VIDEO. I needed this a long time ago.
Thank you Jeff, this video allowed me to place a lot more faith in my current routine.
Man you explained this so amazingly, I'm just starting to lift and this really helped me start especially building strength and size at the same time 👑
One recommendation I have heard (purely intuitive, I am certain), is to use low reps for compound, CNS heavy movements like Deadlift, Squat, Bench Press and Cleans and use the 8-15 rep range for the isolation movements where mind-muscle connection is more important
Really appreciate channels like yours that cite studies and sources
Your content is gold. Your personality is killer. You're probably my favorite lift channel.
Absolute quality video. Had to watch this at least 4 times just to soak up the information. Very detailed and we'll articulated and also so helpful.
Im struggling with fatigue. This video pointed out that I'm not setting my rep range and that I'm always pushing to failure in every exercise I do. My recovery has obviously took a beating for this approach. So thanks for such a detailed video.
I have been doing something similar to this with some influence from greyskull lp. I train a day on, day off style. And do bench, squat and row/weighted pull ups every session using 3x5. This takes about 35-40 minutes including warm ups. I then do 2 movements a day for the 5 missing bodyparts as Jeff called them, I'm absolutely loving it. Just thought I'd put it out there for anyone else to use if they like the sound of it
Squat 3x5
Bench 3x5
Row/weighted pull up 3x5
2 accessory movement of your choice for the following bodyparts using 3x8-12
Biceps
Traps
Rear delts
Side delts
Calves
I don't include lats as a missed bodypart as I do rows/pull ups instead of deadlifts.
It works well as I train at home and can make good progress with limited equipment, I have just a rack, bar and then use bands for my accessory work
what do you increase more in, strength or hypertrophy? Or is it more of an even balance?

I’ve always found just doing a bit of both works great for me. Say I’m doing bench, I’d do 3 sets of 8 at a lower weight, then I’d do 5x5 at a mid range weight and finally 2-3 sets ranging from 2-3 reps at a heavy weight. Lotta work but it’s great for me and it’s still enjoyable.
How much time?
honestly THE best fitness youtuber. Real informational content supported by scientific evidence, great video quality.
Astonishing work Man!! Very well sharp synthtesized. Thank you!
You dont know how much I needed this vid. Started ax-1 back in december 2019 and wanted to finish it and meet my goals while I fixed my diet. Recently just got back at the gym and wanted to powerlift but I still have a couple ppunds to finally lose but I really want strength. Im on week 3 today and for the past 2 weeks ive been following the program and adding a compound movement if not added on the date. Example ( Friday was pull and had only 2 back excercises and biceps to failure but added deadlifts 5x5 and hit 315 again) so i thoight of following program and adding powertlifting in it without overdoing it. This really helps
Bro Jeff is such a convincing alternate personality that I sometimes forget it’s the same guy
This is one of the best overall channels I have found on CZcams. Entertaining, but also so informative. No Bro science.
Top-notch stuff Jeff. You're taking it to the next level. Keep it up!
This is why I chose to go for 8 reps on the compound lifts. I did that and started seeing strength gains and hypertrophy gains. When I was just doing Hypertrophy the strength gains were a struggle. Was doing 10 to 12 reps but at a much lower weight.
Thanks Jeff, although gyms are closed in my area, I am glad I can get my 'gym fix' from watching your videos. Working out at home is just not the same sadly.
I hope you keep the itch for Training ain whatever form ? Keep going strong
Where do u live? That sucks
Man I'm so thankful mine's open and masks are only required entering and exiting. Told my trainer if masks were gonna be fully required I'd go back to lifting at home. I couldn't breathe in that crap working out. Have a feeling the owner at least somewhat feels the same.
clamum tbh at this piont I’m grateful to be able to train so even if I had to wear mask I wouldn’t mind mine doesn’t make us but Yh but if u have home gym that makes sense it’s annoying af but there are worse things in life
@@pats9435 Yeah I personally think the whole thing has been vastly overblown (I'm very critical of any hysteria) but that's a separate thing. I just personally can't breathe that well just wearing one in a store, there's no way I could wear one working out, breathing hard doing lunges and whatnot.
I don't have a home gym, just a inclining bench and six dumbells and a band set, but I'd immediately go back to that if they required masks, as much as I'd hate it.
i really enjoyed your video dude. not overbearing music - informative, even keel. i dig it
I bought your program when it came out, I got 2 weeks into the 10 week program and gyms have been closed since. I'm DYING TO GET BACK INTO IT!
Cool, this is like a video version of the Get Ready Manual.
Amazing video! covers absolutely everything. I've wanted to do a powerbuilding program for a long time but wasnt sure how to approach it or if it was even possible. this has given me the confidence to get it done!
I called myself a "powerbuilder" for years, but slowly transitioned to "powerlifter" of the last 2 years. I got your new powerbuilding system so lets see if I can see great muscle and strength gains.
How’s it going for you?
@@Belovedthegreat My maxes before the program were 315 squat, 245 bench, 365 deadlift and when I finished they were 410 squat, 315 bench, 505 deadlift. I was mostly regaining strength that I lost but they are all still PRs.
@@deathleaperd1 drop the split broo 🥺
I've always been doing this.. the first 2 exercises are always strength and the rest is hypertrophy.
I do reverse pyramid first 2 heavy set for strength and next 2-3 for hypertrophy
How’s your progress and what do you think of bulking?
@@youandiarelikemybuttcheeks2051 I'm gaining strength and decent amount of muscle but now I'm on 10-8 percent body fat which is making my progress slow but I look good and feel good , I'm thinking about lean bulk without gaining fat so I have increased 250 calories above my maintenance , I'm following push pull leg kind of split so I'm feeling quiet well then of bro split, I'm doing better then my other gym bros
I do the same
I’ve been doing this as well for the last year and a half or so. Massive gains
Just purchased your upper/lower program, very stoked to start!
You're really amazing. You just presented a meta study with perfect concision and convincingly
"Roaming Hypertrophy Day" is the most honest description. Love it.
Hey Jeff can u make a video about a different training style:
Lower pause, moderate weight.
What I mean is the 8x8 training of vince gironda. Not that much weight but very low pause(max 20 seconds per set) I heard/read it's more effektive to get the same or even more volume in shorter time for muscle building and strength gainz so also your endurance will be trained as well. What do you think about it?
