    Volume

    Just read 0ni's post in the Sheiko thread and it reminded me of this article. It's weightlifting/Crossfit based but the general message regarding volume is still there. Thoughts? "I finished up another one of Medvedyev’s training manuals last week and was reviewing my notes and thoughts on...

    Increased volume and intensity and getting massive headaches

    Hi all. I have been doing the PTC Beginners program for the past 3 months and before that did about 2 months of Starting Strength. During this time I had no problems at all. This week I wanted to add volume and intensity (I know don't fuck with the program) so I changed the following...

    Deadlift frequency and volume

    Just wondering what you guys think is - or even better, have found to be - the best frequency and volume for deadlifts, and whether it's very different for novice lifters vs. intermediate vs. advanced. And if so, in what ways. For example, I'm probably still a novice lifter, pulling around...

    Check your volume!

    Curious to see what volume you boys (and girls) are doing. If you don't know, the rules are what you do in 60 minutes MAX at the gym. I had a weak day today, have been doing quite a bit volume so I wound back a little and went a bit easier. Still felt pretty lethargic. So hopefully my math is on...

    German Volume Training?

    A question on Strength: Intensity & Volume loading

    Hey. Quick question for you all. I'm sure to get some good answers from this question. I was under the impression that for a strength based cycle, both the intensity and volume would increase as the weeks progress. Let's say for 4 weeks for the sake of an example. So the volume would start at...

    A shoulder builder

    The Hepburn press course. Work out 3 times a week. Take a weight, lets use 50kg and perform 3 reps, 5 sets. Keep the same weight but add one more set each workout until you have done 10 sets with the 50kg. This will take you 2 weeks or 6 workouts. Now drop back to 5 sets, 3 reps, but...

    German Volume Training

    While this is not a strength program, it is used by weightlifters trying to move up a weight class between seasons. Most of you may have heard about it. I have used it with success on my clients. In fact, the guy that won my last comp, Chris, was one of the first guys to do it. It works like...
