  • @redhawkmillenium
    @redhawkmillenium Před 2 lety +18

    I've been running Jeff's Fundamentals program this year, really enjoying it. It's a great value, since it includes three different programs to accommodate a person's schedule and availability to get to the gym during the week. I also think it's a nice "on ramp" to his intermediate/advanced programs - if you like the upper/lower split here, you can move on to his upper/lower advanced program. If you prefer the full body split, go for his high frequency full body program. And if you like the "body part split" (really more like three days upper, two days lower), you'll probably like push/pull/legs.
    One thing you mention is how the program is based on scientifically backed principles of weekly volume and frequency, but that as a beginner really any amount of volume and frequency is going to get you results. That's true, but I think this program is meant to have some legs to it, that you can train with it for over a year to sort of an early intermediate level and still get good results, good progress. The section on progression does give some strategy for training as an early intermediate. So it's important that frequency and volume be optimally dialed in for more experienced trainees.
    One thing I noticed though is both the 3 day "full body" split and 4 day "upper/lower" split have 7 exercises per workout. This means inevitably the full body split has to cut down on some weekly volume versus the upper/lower split. Volume on the big compound movements is pretty much the same, but some of the isolation assistance movements get cut back, like curls, hip abduction, or core exercises. I think it might be good to modify the full body program and throw in one or two of those assistance exercises at the end of each workout, if you have the extra time. One benefit of the full body program over the upper/lower is that it does allow for hitting major muscle groups three times per week, which might get better results at a more advanced training level versus the upper/lower split which by design only ever hits muscles twice per week.
    Anyways, really like your program reviews, it's nice to have someone with education in exercise science taking a look at these programs to give a second opinion on if they should give good results. One review I would be interested to see would be Mehdi's Stronglifts 5x5 program, I used to train using that. It's a free beginner full body split three times per week alternating between two training days:
    Workout A:
    Back Squat 5x5
    Bench Press 5x5
    Pendlay Row 5x5
    Dips 3x10
    Skullcrushers 2x8
    Workout B:
    Back Squat 5x5
    Overhead Press 5x5
    Deadlift 1x5
    Chin-ups 3x10
    Barbell curls 2x8
    Just curious what your thoughts might be on that, or if you could take a look at the paid Stronglifts workout app. Cheers!

    I had some questions regarding your opinion on the training schedule in regard to how beginner someone is. I have been lifting for about a year now (bench 100kg, squat 120kg and deadlift 150kg) and I actually was first planning on getting the powerbuilding program which will be coming out soon since I want to add some numbers to the big lifts. I saw in the description of the program that he does not recommend it for people who haven't been working out for less then 2 years and recommend to start here.
    Do you think as someone who already has quite some experience the bodypart split will still function good enough? I have been giving each muscle 2 sessions a week and I am afraid that dropping back to once will not be stimulation enough.
    Thank you in advance for the help.

    • @LiftingExplained
      @LiftingExplained  Před 3 lety

      Yes, I think following this program for a bit more will be fine, and continue to help you build a solid base for a more advanced program like his powerbuilding one that he's about to release. Training each muscle group 2 sessions a week is good, and you shouldn't drop back down to 1. Lifting is a marathon, not a sprint, so take your time, and don't change things too often as long as it's working and not causing injury.

    No clue if anyone can help me out here, but I've been working out since I was 13/14. I started with some basic bodyweight exercises and I did karate. Then I did all 3 P90X programs repeating the 3rd for several years. This brings us to 2020 when I decided to stop working out at home and go to the gym. I did AthelanX's Total Body program and that seemed to help me get familiar to things I wasn't used to (barbell lifts: bench, squat, deadlift), and fast forward to now I'm 23 and doing his Old School Iron Program. I just bought Jeff Nippards Fundamentals program since going to the gym is still new to me but gaining muscle seems to be difficult for me, although gaining strength is easier. So, being 23 and having the experience of using dumbells for almost 10 years and doing the "bigger lifts" for about 1.5 years, would Jeff's Fundamental program be good for me or should I push myself and do something more?

      Also modifying the program a bit to meet your individual needs is also fine. Just make sure if you make a substitution, use exercises that are very similar, possibly from the substitution list. And if you feel like one of your bodyparts is lagging, you can include a bit more volume or do it in the beginning of the workout. But first, try to do all 3 programs once, to see how you respond and then make slight modifications if you feel like it

      It will depend on why you weren't able to get the prescribed reps. It may be that you just miscalculated your RPE weight, or that you didn't have as much energy as usual. If you believe that your weight used was correct, the best approach would probably be to just repeat the week.

      @@LiftingExplained I think I can provide better answer - This book is to be used with his CZcams Channel playlist - czcams.com/video/TN9i9Ni0Xr4/video.html in which he tells that if you get even 3 reps lowers than prescribed it is fine, you are doing good (for 10-12 reps exercise) and you should work for failure only in the last set. If your reps are lower than 3 to what is prescribed ex. prescribed is 10 but you did 6reps, reduce weight and then increase it progressively (POP) each week. Also, keep your weight lifted and reps noted. He also gave some formula - Reps * Weight * How well you do exercise (something like that) is what your effort is. So if you are lifting heavy, but got low reps with good form it is ok!

      You could run it 3-4 times if you’re still enjoying it and still making improvements and adding weight or reps etc. As long as you are pushing yourself and adding weight and reps each workout/week etc. you’ll still be making gains etc.

      You could also go through the program using the Upper/Lower split and then do it again using the Full Body split to change things up slightly whilst still getting good exercise selection and frequency. You could do this for as long as you were happy and gaining.

    I’m a beginner and thought this would be great for me. 1) But what is up with the first compound exercises he puts in each day? With reps as little as 5! Aren’t those for strength and don’t they put you at risk of injury? 2) There is only one day a week where you do calf raises, the other day you do another one for calves but it’s an isolate! I fear my calves won’t grow 3) in general you only do exercises once a week, do the other exercises help work the same muscle twice a week still?

      2-4 is strength. Above is hypertrophy. Even though the rep ranges are are 5 it is a technique phase from what I remember. And you start at a fairly low percentage. As long as you have a proper warmup and focus on the form and technique you should be okay. Calves are fine to work twice. Even 3 if you’re serious. Every other day. And yes the twice a week is fine as long as it is recovered from the first workout which usually after 48 h it is

      The three programs included in the book all take 8 weeks, after which it's up to you to decide if you want to run it again or start something different. I would personally recommend to run the program a few times in a row, just to really become familiar with training in a structured way.
