On the weeks with 3 days, add 3x12 of either dumbbell bench press or dumbbell incline bench press, at RPE4-5.

Bro you are too hard on yourself, you definitely look like you lift, maybe not deadlift/squat 700+ but you have a respectable physique

Find your baseline volume, train, progress.

Sheiko is life

For Jonnie Candito’s program when you say up the bench, do you mean the heavy sets up the volume? Or on the excessory lifts, add in close grip bench or db flat/incline bench?

Just TRAIN HARDER THAN LAST TIME!

I'm trying to increase my lifts rn im stuck at 535 on deadlift and I don't know how to hit 6 plates any advice

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

There is something about this channel. I don’t know it’s just so cool. As a junior powerlifter these videos were and still are inspiring. I was driven to break a squat record just like you did. And I did. So thanks for the inspiration.

How many programs would it take to beat up Mike Tyson?

i just started doing whatever within reason. if i feel like squatting 5x a week then i will, i really just go by what my body tells me. i’m not going to ever compete or plan to, so i treat powerlifting as something i do for fun

This nigga really used the tik tok music for this whole thing 😂

This channel is super underrated.

Great advice man! Btw, your physique definitely shows signs of lifting, even for someone that focuses on SBD. Loose shirts make most lifters look smaller anyways.

Hello Matt, great videos. What would your recommendation be regarding programming for someone who works at office 10-12 hrs per day 5 days a week.

Can someone explain RPE4-5? I'm new to this term. So if my 1RM for bench is 260. What should I be doing for reps?

1st (yes I know but we gotta dethrone him somehow)

This is such a refreshing video man. Tips I have been seeking for a while. Thank you.

At first I thought the video was about computer science. ((: Good video btw

Can you make of video of what you eat in a day and what supplements you take and recommend for people who want to pursue powerlifitng.

Amazing tips brodie🔥🔥🔥

Greg knuckols also has like 28 free powerlifting programs

I think it’s awesome to mention all of these great channels and resources to cross reference specifically bb medicine, Mike Israetel, Greg Nuckols, and Eric Helms. Listening to all of these (imo) good sources of information and over time has helped me more than anything get rid of erroneous ideas that seemed right until analyzed, specifically bb medicine’s information about pain science. It’s cool to watch channels like those over time, and watch these ideas progress. Also Juggernaut training systems with Max Aita and Chad Wesley Smith has good content as well, but keep up the good work sharing good resources and making good content.

yo, your hair, beard, eyebrows are all fire man thanks for the videos u have all my respect

I have had a hard time finding a program where I see improvements since the early days of my lifting journey, when I was using Stronglifts 5x5. I like to lift 6 days a week, 3 bench, 2 squat and a deadlift day. I have a hard time with lots of volume other than bench. I do a moderate amount of accessories. I am a 62 yo female, best lifts squat 242, bench 135, deadlift 303. training in my garage vs. the gym for the past year has really hurt my squat strength. I can squat 225x1 right now on a good day. Am back at the gym now with access to more equipment. Have had a trainer for a couple of years, struggled through some injuries, have read a lot, watched a lot of videos, etc. Am programming for myself. Competed for a few years and would like to return to competition. Can you recommend any programs or do you do programming/coaching for others?

Video I was waiting for

Matt got 1870lbs total at 220lbs 👀

I also recommend “Alexander Bromley” on youtube and his book “Base Strength”

2nd

hey Matt how do you feel about the 531 program for gaining strength?

Full frontal male nudity or GTFO. Some of us need to him our mirin' quotas.

Extremely helpful! Thank you for sharing what you know it helps small time lifters a lot!

Really good video but the music going over you talking is annoying

big thanks big man

I wuv woo

Hi Matt, I sent you an email for coaching. Nice vid!

Just hit that 10 minute mark

didn’t mention brad castlebarry? lame

thanks for the video

Great to the point information! Keep up the great work Matt!

Has anybody run Matt's modified version of Candito's 6 week program? The bench side was the only thing putting me off trying it.

Good sources and program references, but no principles or a framework to really be contained when designing one's own program

I think that Candito strength training program for some reason really sucks for women

Dude this video is great! Id love to see more of those longer videos, they are super helpful.

Hey bud, what current program are you following, if any? Just interested to see what works for you and see if we can apply any of your work into our own

YES

On the modifications you suggested ,isn't RPE 4-5 too low to drive progress? I´m kind of new to rpe training hence my question.

So what Brad schoenfeld book should I get.. Or two even.. Or any other books by anyone you like

4 Fs for a good physique Food, Function, Form, Frequency In that order Food- you can’t out train a shitty diet. You also can’t train at your best on a shitty diet. Function- do functional exercises. Leave those cables and machines for people who are handicapped or injured. Form- time under tension creates muscle growth. You create the tension with good form. You’re also less likely to get injured with good form. Frequency- pretty simple. Training only once or twice a week won’t do you much good. The more frequently you train, the stronger and more athletic you’re going to get.

Thanks for all the great videos Matt

I don't like the background music

That ceiling has got to go buddy, be better.

So to fix your Own programm you have to get coached Interest

You did not mention Reactive training systems, what is your opinion on them?

What do you think of Matt Wenning?

Matt are you a Robot 🤖???

🙏🏼

Bro lives in backrooms

Comment for the algorithm

Show us your physique already

Ei Matt,Sorry to bother you,English isn't my first language and I can't figure out who you are recommending at 6:04.Thank you for the tips!

HOLY SHIT HE HAVE A FACE ????

Nice. I like this format of video too

big up my guy

Yes

Matt really love your videos!

👍👍👍

Make a video/short on the purpose of, how and when to use down/back off sets. Like how heavy should a back off set be? Relative to the top set or no? How much volume should those take up? Etc etc

DYEL bro?

Actually, the body that looks fit and strong but not huge but can deadlift the weights you do is literally the definition of the warrior body

Hey matt.. been having issues with pain in my left hip since last 5 months while squatting and deadlifting.. i guess it's labral inflammation if not tear or FAI..it's has been really depressing me.. coming from a 3rd world country..i cannot afford a PT.. any suggestions on how to recover from this without surgery..

No mention of jason bloho? Unsubscribed

I have a question about the 6 week candito program: I don't remember exactly what week was, but basically you had to train on sunday, and unfortunately gyms on my area only open from Monday to Saturday, how can i make it work without training on Sundays, i think it is the only week where you have to train on Sunday, i'd appreciate all the responses.

how is this man so strong yet so skinny?
