So true. I started off trying to programme in lots of volume on squats, because that's what lots of people said worked. I have long femurs and have to squat very wide low bar. All that squat volume was really taxing and it just didn't work for me. I mixed it up so I just do heavy doubles and triples, and instead put more volume into my squat accessories. Has worked a treat. To each their own.

I recommend Starting Strength for beginners. Theres a lot of good videos and it’s free.

“Try changing a few things at once, so we can tell which one is working, but don’t.” Can you expand on that 🤨😭

Hey Matt is it okay if I hit heavy singles on bench if im recvered on days when im not supposed to bench?

yo matt this ground beef be tasting like steak

By definition a beginner is new to the sport. So almost any programme (within reason) that involves SBD is going to work since they will get the ‘noon gains’. Beginners just need to do the basics, and do them well.

Blud has that powerlifting accent

Greg Nuckol's $10 package program is really great too. Includes a beginner program along with several post beginner ones.

this, i remember i once tried candito 6 week strength and my deadlift actually got weaker because of it lmao

great video matt! finished the calgary barbell 16 week program 4 times since summer 2021. went from a 280lbs to a 425lbs on squat, 150lbs to 200lbs on bench, and 385lbs to 525lbs on deadlift. i also did a slight bulk from 130lbs at the start to around 150lbs. every time i ran it i gained anywhere from 90-130lbs to my total. now doing david woolsons 10 week program bc its shorter and i got bored. also there is way more push accessories which is more fun but feel was lacking in calgary. we will see how it compares but i’d say i’m probably squeezing out the last of my noob gains so not sure if it will effect my results.

I've been thinking about looking into other programs, but I've just been using a modified Wendler cycle(5/3/1 BBB)

I know you're an online coach but I always thought of a coach as someone who had to be with you to see exactly what your doing, how he could tweak it to better fit you, see how your handling the weight and be your spotter. Thoughts?

i would just say candito 6 weeks

Couldn't phrase it better. Everyone has different leverages, different cardiovascular/respitory health, and a different CNS response to stress. It's all about experimentation, especially for beginners.

I think beginners should run simple LP programs (add weight, reps or sets every workout). If they get stuck they should deload and maybe slow progression a bit instead of immediately reaching for an advanced program. I definitely wasted some time doing advanced programs while I am still capable of gaining strength using relatively simple linear progression if I pace myself correctly and do additional volume for lacking area's.

I competed at the same meet!

Nah man, just do your Fahves lol

a lot of lifting is just trial & error, find what works for you.. or just add 5lbs to the bar every week and speedrun a 2k+ total in 3 years 🤷‍♂️

Dam, Max is strong

Nah

The Denovi beginner programm advises to test your 1rms before you start doing the program. I dont think its a good idea to test your 1rm as a person (beginner) who is just starting doing compound lifts, since the form is just not going to be good enough to safely perform these lifts at higher RPEs. It would be better advise to calculate your 1rm based on x repetitions imo. It is a good programm, but i think this is a potentially dangerous recommendation. I like your Videos btw. Always very informative and helpful. Also you are a strong mofo

Inclusive sumo deadlifts 🏳️‍🌈 love it

Sumo tho

5th set. You are all Welcome.
