I get lots of questions in regards to Max's training, so here is what he and Alen and Daryl are currently doing.
Mon - PPP squat
Tues - PPP bench
Wed - PPP deadlift
Thur- Reps with 140kg squat
Fri - Reps with 100kg bench
Sat - Reps with 180kg deadlift
They do assistance exercises for PPP on the night. For example, we use the Original Westside template, and do both low box (30cm) and high box (45cm) squats.
Bench will be chains and close grip benching
Deads will be pulls like cleans, snatches, shrug pulls and deficit deadlifts.
During the Rep nights, just multiple sets of reps with those weights.
Those weights, which are my novice standard, are challenging enough. The boys are doing very well with them.
This training is no science, no special technique, just pure strength training. The 3 guys arguably also happen to have the best physiques in the gym.
Funny how training hard will do that. Alen and Max are also eating the same, Daryl is eating everything lol

Markos I know u are no doctor but expierience may be able to answer this..
Do you think wearing the knee sleeves all the time will leave lifters vunerable when it comes to lifting in CAPO comps ?
Obviously a little compression whilst training and keeping the joints warm is ideal but how would you go about doing a 1rm in a capo comp? When would you squat completely raw ?
Im thinking i should wear knee sleeves when I come back as my knees always feel 20 times safer and warmer when squatting in them but am worried that it will only weaken my knees more come comp day when you need to go for a 1rm. I wore knee sleeves for a while a couple of years ago but stopped wearing them the last 12 months thinking they were leaving me vulnerable.
Whats your thoughts?

Here is my view on that, as I get asked the same questions in my gym.
At a CAPO raw comp, you have to do 3 reps total, one of those at only 92.5% of your 1RM, without sleeves.
Even do your warm ups with sleeves. As the sleeves offer no aid in strength, it wont be an issue when you take them off, and your knees will be pretty warm. Even wear them between attempts to keep them warm.
For example, Nina forgot to bring hers to the gym as Max had them in his bag, she LOVES the Inzer ones. She was doing PPP and had to do 85kg x 5. No issues at all.

Underground elite for TK knee sleeves.
Ive got some and they really warm the knees up.
I got mine from Undergound, then realized Minh sells them $12 cheaper, I fucked up. Aaron got them from Minh for $50, mine were nearly $62 delivered. I actually got charged more than they were advertized. Add says $49.95, I was charged $52.95. With freight it was $62.
Steve Pritchard sells the Inzer stuff, he may have TK as well

Michael you'll be fine.
I was training in Thailand this week and forgot to take my sleeves to the gym. I was going to wrap my knees but it was so hot I cbf'd. Just did plenty of warmup sets.
Squatted 185 for 5 no drama without any issues in my knees. First time in over 6 months I've squatted with no knee support.
