Aside from that, bravo.

You are so far off that its not even funny. Of course, if you think that Louie doesn’t draw any ideas from the Bulgarians, I’ll be sure to ask him about that next time I’m up north.

Where do you think the max effort method came from? That certainly can’t be Bulgarian can it? Of course not, because Louie believes in lots of exercises and the Bulgarians don’t, so they obviously can’t share any other commonalities…

“We train a lot like the Bulgarians…”-Louie Simmons, Westside Squat DVD 2004 (Revised)

The Russians didn’t use a maximal effort method, but rather heavy, repeated efforts and volume progressions to build work capacity. What does that sound like to you?

Not to mention that the addition of large amounts of band tension has led to dynamic squat day at WSB actually be performed at much higher %'s (when band tension is included) than the original 50-60% that Simmons wrote about. Working around or well above 90% during every training session…who does that sound like?

There have been some interesting discussions of this on this board in the past year, but I’m not going to link you because you already have more information than you can intelligently process at this point.

I guarantee you that if you keep worrying about all of this shit, in a years time, you will be no stronger. This all applies to ELITE athletes.

You don’t need concurrent or conjugate periodization yet, simple progressive overload will be more than adequate for you. I recommend buying something basic like Starting Strength as an ebook and disconnecting your internet. Then, the next time you feel like clusterfucking on your computer, you can stare at that until you remember that NONE of this fancy shit applies to a kid who can’t squat 1.5x his bodyweight yet.[/quote]

…Another thing to keep in mind… A novice trainee can gain strength from almost anything. I personally know a 130 pound dude, who raised is bench press from 135 to 185 by maxing out 3 days a week, with tons of drop sets…

An intermediate trainee is more accurately defined as someone who makes PRs either every week, or ALMOST every week… I’m currently there… I did a westside program a few months back, and I raised my zercher good morning from 185 to 225+ pounds in 3 weeks… Unfortulately, it had almost zero carryover with my deadlift…

I make tons of PRs every week… The fact that they don’t have any carryover to anything just bugs me to death… THAT IS WHY I WILL NOW USE A DIFFERENT TRAINING METHODOLOGY. IT’S CALLED TYING MYSELF UP IN THE SQUAT RACK FOR YEARS, AND THEN COMING BACK TO T-Nation AND BRAG ABOUT MY 1500 POUND SQUAT.

In all seriousness, I will actually do “greasing the groove.” Max weights 5 days a week and we’ll see what happens. Westside failed me. Hopefully, this thing doesn’t. Please wish me luck…

Thank you.

Your arrogance is astounding. It seems that it is only matched by your ignorance.

Nothing failed you except for yourself. It is obvious that you lack the mental capacity to train yourself. You are what we call a clusterfucker. You haven’t been lifting long enough to even understand what these experts and gurus are talking about, let alone determine what works and what doesn’t work.

You are not an expert. You aren’t even an intermediate. You’re a dumb fucking kid who spends too much time on the internet and not enough time under the bar. You really want to learn something? Get a coach and you will learn that you don’t know half as much as you think you do and that your form fucking blows.

Wait, didn’t you just make a thread talking about your new training system the other day? Something about heavy/light/light/medium?
Stop changing programs so much! Just pick one and follow it through for a few months!

umm… ‘somewhat adapted to it’? that is the sort of program you are supposed to run for years. if you stall on it, reset the lifts… then when you stall again, make small changes: switch out big lifts for variants, change the assistance… etc.

…Or, I could gradually build up frequency over those years, which for me, is the best way to go. High frequency training with low repetitions without going to muscular failure, is for me, the epitome of “functional training”. Having an exemplary work capacity is worth more than steroids.

If anyone in here give me ONE just ONE elite weightlifter who reached that level without training the same movement multiple times a week, then MAYBE I would change my mind about this training thing.

If you can name me ONE, just ONE elite weightlifter who reached that level WITHOUT A FUCKING COACH AND WHILE BEING AN ASSCLOWN ON THE INTERNET FOR HOURS ON END THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER SPENT FUCKING TRAINING…

Or you could just shut the fuck up and lift and stop overanalyzing every miniscule detail that really a beginner such as yourself should not even be thinking about.

Type2B why do you do it to yourself? Every thread you start or comment on you get mercilessly ripped to shreds. And this one is no different. And for good reason. If your original post was written in English it may help, but I fear the content would still be poor at best.

I would say go read, but it appears you read and badly misinterpret! Find a coach.

So, I’m watching this “Unbelievable” DVD about some guy called Ronald Kohlman or something, and this joker changes exercises about 6 times in the same session. Unbelievable.

Your thoughts, Type2B? Is this guy ever going to amount to anything?

No. “Flat sets” are generally more superior for strength development. Supersets are a fucking joke.
