    One gym bro asked me to spot his 315 flat bench today...........I ended up doing 3 cheat curls leaving me with a sick bicep pump.

      I have a question. I have been lifting for YEARS. I know that I am abnormally strong when doing chest butterfly movements. I was just curious what the difference is between this and regular bench. For example I was lifting heavy and for 3 sets of 5 with dumbbells. I did inclined dumbbell press sets of 10 next for 35% less weight and then used the same weight for inclined flies.

    My notes from the video
    • MV (maintenance volume)
    ○ around 8 sets
    ○ can be used to re-sensitise muscle groups
    ○ by just doing minimum volume (which is a small amount and will save fatigue/energy for other muscle groups), the size of the muscle can be maintained - when you go back to training it at a later date, it will be more responsive to growth
    • MEV (minimum effective volume)
    ○ around 10 sets
    ○ likely to stimulate some growth
    ○ Good idea to start mesocycle around this amount of volume and build from there
    • MAV (maximum adaptive volume)
    ○ Around 12-20 sets per week
    ○ Can therefore build mesocycle volume in this range - starting from 12 and building to 20
    ○ This figure can vary in individuals by around 2-4 sets; i.e. 8-16 or 16-24
    • MRV (maximum recoverable volume)
    ○ around 20 sets
    ○ End mesocycle around this much volume
    • Frequency
    ○ Maximum 3 times per week (most individuals)
    ○ As you become stronger (400lb bench example given) 1.5 times per week may be enough
    ○ A half workout being when chest is trained after other heavy compounds and therefore isn't being trained will maximum potential - not as overloading in this scenario
    • Intensity
    ○ High reps don’t work that well - some people grow very well in 5-8 rep range
    ○ Sets of 12 max - keep rep range in 5-12
    • Exercise selection
    ○ 1 flat, 1 incline, 1 isolation - don't all have to be maxed out in each meso
    ○ Some mesos might focus more on one of these variations
    ○ Each meso however should include some work in each variation
    • ROM
    ○ Lift heavy with FULL ROM - use stretch reflexes
    • Metabolite techniques
    ○ Pre exhaust chest on an isolation movement before switching to a heavier compound so chest is the limiting factor (rather than shoulders/triceps)
    Use of "isolation sandwich" - heavy compound first in the workout - then isolation - then a lighter compound to finish

    My question is: will you do something on weights for bjj players.
    I know juggernaut used to sell a bjj manual, which i suppose is out of print. Too bad, i know tons of guys who would love a back copy, or perhaps a bjj manual 2.0.
    I can tell you guys at juggernaut and RP take these comments seriously, like a true forum from ancient greece.
