Lol. Sticky seemed to get those new lifters of his to 100kg in a couple of months while you spent that whole time blaming falling out of the groove for all your lift failures.
this, you need to take the time to find the most efficient way for you to lift (this will include lifting heavy to find where you are breaking down so you will make gains in the process), who cares if it means you make small gains for 6 months, but when you start programing to make gains over time you will become a much better lifter than someone who doesnt thinks that simply getting stronger with average technique is that only way
So you're of the opinion that incline benching helped you add numbers to the bar?
and it was, my bench technique isnt set in stone, its hit and miss, i also only max out in comp, so while stick was pushing his lifters to 100kg i was mid cycle and didnt want to go fucking it up with a stupid race lol were those benches paused in comp conditions? no lol leading up to my last comp i could of got 100kg tng bench no problem, i was doing triples on 97 lolLol.

i was also only benching once a week with almost no assistance, and wasnt going to change my training leading up a comp.
That was my logic if your hitting alot of strict mil pressing and plenty of flat bench incline seems kind of unnecessary.
What do you think of running coan but sub incline for mil press with weight adjusted accordingly?
yeah lol its all just a matter of trial and errorAt least we have both discovered that shit doesn't work.
depending on your current technique id say you would get more than 2.5kg out a a technique tweaking, but you hit the nail on the head with being able to increase at a higher rate due to efficiency, spot on technique will also help you avoid unnecessary plateaus.Regarding strength vs form, I think that if I went to PCT and had Sticky fix my form, I would get probably something like a 2.5kg gain on the bench just from fixing my form. However, the better form would allow my bench to increase at a much higher rate due to the form being more efficient. For example your low bar squat will increase at a much faster rate than your high bar squat; simply because it's more efficient technique so the strength window is higher. There was a time when I could low bar just 5kg more than I could high bar, now the difference is much bigger.
I have no idea if this is true or not but this is the most sense I can make out of it
swapping from high bar to low bar and learning about tightness my squat jumped 50kg in a few weeks (so like 2 training sessions)

Callan, Baz. Stop it, you're getting nowhere.
Baz, Scott taught his lifters technique too. And I'm pretty sure Callan understands the importance of volume.
lol actually added it up, it was 30kg in a few sessions, 50kg after a training cycle;But the immediate difference was only a few kgs right?
Freako I've said it 3 times now. Im not saying technique isnt important, I know sticky taught his lifters good technique. I am just saying that strength is number 1 by a mile.
