Appearances
The thing is they didn't do, now we have so many machines, they did mostly barbell training and you know what I mean?
They focused on the big basics and they would repeat movements
The goal is gaining strength.
So with every person, it's unique.
And there's so many ways to do this.
If I have some people deadlift hard twice a week, they might get back pain, even if they're using good form.
What if they're really weak, have really weak hamstrings in isolation, and I start giving them seated leg curls, and it transfers to their deadlift.
The seated leg curls doesn't put stress on their low back.
You get stronger.
by identifying weak links.
And there's a lot of transfer between the different lifts.
So I don't believe you need to repeat the same movements all the time.
And I also think you should switch it up every month.
And that's one thing I've had a lot of success with.
With my system, I've had a lot of success.
We have like a
a squat and bench press month.
Then the next month will be a deadlift and chin-up month.
No, you always do all the movement patterns.
It's what you do first and what you focus on.
