Agreed, i remember hearing Boo Schexnayder say something similar for his view on plyometrics and S&C. The more output/intenisty required for a task, the simpler the task needs to be. You can't get high outputs on a landmine rotation oly lift or a multi-directional plyo as the complexity of the activity it too high. Guess the same train of thought is being applied here but to programming, if the programming is too varied and 'complex', the output is going to fall.
good video...I would say a beginner will pretty much respond to anything reasonable as far as strength training. I think the intermediate that is searching for a specific athletic goal needs to experiment with different exercises but as you advance the training does indeed become more simpler to reach whatever peak In whatever activity you set out to do.
I agree 100%. Complexity should be applied on the level of the program, but on the level of the actual challenge to the athlete. Not a million different squat exercises are needed but just one that is new and challenging until you mastered it.
Always use the least intensive means and methods to elicit the adaptations you want. Keep your powder dry and don't paint yourself into a corner with regards to programming. Enjoyed your video's......keep up the good work
It seems like you're doing a Westside style conjugate max day with lots of different movements, but you're not doing the accessory exercises in large volume like Louie Simmons advocated. Is that correct? Do you train a movement once per week only, or more frequently? For example, do you squat once per week, or multiple times per week? Thanks.
