Recovery is really important and sfr is usually Integrated into a good program so you can't just act like they're the same thing just because you feel like you're doing something greater than a squat. They're a different lift and they need programmed differently. If someone is doing a squat, they are doing a squat. The fact that I have to say that is wild. It wouldn't be out of pocket at all to throw out "ego lifting" here.

    The volume for this program reminds me of Project Momentum by Mike Tuscherer, which was run as an actual project a for 8-12 weeks IIRC. He offered it maybe 2-3 times, once per year. I was one of the experimentees one year, maybe the 2nd year he did it. I remember training 4 days per week, with squats, bench and deadlift each session, plus 2-3 assistance exercises.
    During the first 2 weeks, I was sure I was going to die. By the end of the 4th week, I was convinced that I had become a superhero and could do anything. That confidence wasn’t from strength gains, but from surviving that training regiment. Bromley’s plan is very different, but seems just as tough - so if any of you try it, stick with it. Your confidence will go through the roof, along with your squat.

      I did this because I came back to lifting and had to completely relearn how to squat, while DL was my best lift back in the day. Only did RDL. Eventually returned to DL'ing off the floor and it followed along nicely after relearning my setup. Squats are still my shittiest lift, but at least it's ahead of my bench (current goal is matching front squat).

Now I tend to tolerate deadlift volume very well but I’ve never tried dialing it back to focus on squat. Like you Deadlift is my best lift and feels very natural.

      I think that's a mistake. My squat went up by doing DLs first, min reps and aiming for PB then follow that in the same session with Squats. I guarantee you that the Squats will feel light as a feather. Do it once a week and supplement with Squats of varying tempo, rep range and weight.

    just finished week 5 day 4. my squat went from 315 to 365. also noticeably my body weight went up from 175-180 week to week , to 185-188 @ 6ft. been lifting consistently for about a year now and I had hit 335 in training months before but i was in no condition to squat 335 when i started the program so i based my percentages off 315.
    I didn’t run the program exactly as written, pretty much just did my own upper body days but followed the lower body days exactly. week 3 was hard as heck but i really made sure to recover properly between sessions and that really helped. weeks 4-5 i struggled with getting enough sleep and came in on 1RM day with really shitty sleep the 8 days prior, had i been dialed i think i could have most likely done 10-15 more pounds. nonetheless i definitely recommend the program and i will be posting a video of my 365 attempt on my channel. feel free to ask questions here or on that video if you have any.

      @Pastapillow Před 11 měsíci

      ​@@trevorbaker7168 Agreed, this program would definitely bring up a deadlift for most! But a deadlift program would still bring up deadlift more. Things specific to it like: stiff leg deadlifts, barbell rows, good mornings, lat pulldowns, single arm dumbbell rows, and so on (I wonder what other accessories he'd put in) could be emphasized more.
      I did a bit of searching and I think he's got some deadlift specific programs in the Superior deadlift, his book. Then there's a video "655/605lb Deadlift AMRAP PLUS My Off-Season Volume Program + Contest Peak - Strongman Nationals Prep". Where he goes through deadlift %ages for his training. There's 24 videos in his deadlift playlist... well there goes my evening.

      @@trevorbaker7168 I'd say maybe have day 1 squatting as a percentages based RDLs instead and the second day, the max day as the "true" deadlift lift might be more sustainable for the vast majority? deadlifting with an amrap on day one and maxing out on day three doesn't sound sustainable for most "normal" people, unless they're complete novices.
      On day 1 you could do RDLs based on the percentage (of a RDL 1rm obviously, if you don't know, then take of 20-30% of your standard deadlift 1rm and use that) and the amrap, then front squat, then a some real "squats" witht he same reps and sets as the RDLs on the squat version.
      On day 2 you do the 5/3/5/3/1 rep max on the Deadlift and then you squat etc. Maybe you'd need to switch out the good mornings for something else.... Or do them with intentionally a bit lighter weight and just treat it as a warmup _before_ the max 5/3/5/3/1 deadlift attempt?

Should we just keep it the same?

      novice -> intermediate is pretty easy. Linear progression is king. Then intermediate to advanced numbers, there are so many ways to do that. I'd be curious too.
      I guess his "Periodization Explained in 5 Simple Steps" explains the typical journey. I think another issue is goals. Everyone finds different lifts and ways of programming more or less fun. And when you get to a later stage in lifting, you'll likely set different goals than when you started.

  • @dianatammen3690

    In 2 minds. I did gain, but at a bit of a cost. Usually, I just lift for cross-training, but had to scale down my primary sport to manage the program. Tend to work in the 75-90% range, 3 times a week, focusing on main lifts with very little accessory work. So a complete change in approach. Did bench instead of push press. For lack of equipment Bulgarian split squats instead of leg press. I didn't try for a squat PR at the end and went for deadlift PR on that day instead. My 3RM was up 10lb on squats, so I left it at that. Bench +10lb, deadlift +20lb, also +30lb at the rep ranges on RDL and +20lb on the rows.
    My husband mainly lifts, usually 5x/week with lots of accessories, opposite of my training. Same substitutes, but his bench declined. Squat +20lb, deadlift +20lb, both of recent weights, matching life-time PRs. No change in other lifts.
    The high rep on lunges was tough on my knees and on the band pull-downs on my elbows. I don't think I'll be doing 250 reps of any one exercise in a session ever again, bordering on repetitive strain injury. There's gotta be a safer way.
    So, I mean I did have fun with it, saw a little progress, but not as much as I would've expected with the change in focus from crosstraining to main activity.

    There is a factor that often gets taken for granted, and that's the inner motivation of simply training with a better lifter. Especially if you're being trained by that better lifter. Guys who came to me for help usually had problems that needed to be faced as early as possible, before the lifter got into a full on training cycle. I frequently preached the progression principle, and most often the newcomer would expect to just slot in. But no. First i had to examine the faults in his technique that were holding the lifter back. Now that was easy if I saw the lifter at every comp making the same mistakes every time. But what about the guy who'd been transferred to the big smoke in his job and had only heard about my training methods but had never met me? Well it wasn't such a big deal. In the Squat, it's either bar placement, foot placement, round back vs flat back, and that's about it as far as technique goes. Things like dropping too fast crop up too. Now no one in my Powerlifting team took steroids. So to gain 100 pounds on the squat in one year was pretty special, especially since the lifter in question only weighed 85kg and was an experienced lifter. Most of his gains came by way of correcting his woeful technique! Once I got him squatting the way I figured was best for his body type he started rocketing along really well.At the end of the year when he returned to his old gym for a visit and to lift at their end of year comp, everyone there, to a man, thought I'd got him on the gear!
    But another lifter from that gym got coached by me via correspondence and he grew like a weed too, and I couldn't possibly have gotten him on steroids, so they all soon came around to believing that some programs work better than others!

    I just finished week two of this program. I think it’s okay, and I’m going to see it through if I can, but the last set max reps is really the killer here and it’s not talked about. You may have a 5x5, but if you’re doing max reps at 75% you’re going to end up extremely gassed on that fifth set (10-15 reps), then go straight into front squats after being heavily taxed. Then the next leg day is another max effort. I’m definitely feeling the strain.

    That's an example of doing an exercise with a degree of muscular fatigue then, over subsequent workouts, reducing the amount of muscular fatigue under which the exercise is done to realize a strength gain from having done it with the greater amount. That works. It is the strategy that my rep schemes employ. But what do you do when you habituate to the stimulus i.e. plateau? That's inevitable. I suspect their answer would be do more. But what do you do when that doesn't work. The answer is the conjugate method i.e. doing other exercises to avoid the plateau while bringing up weaknesses.
