Strength training can be very complicated. I've read hundreds of books and invested over 10,000 hours to be able to understand it. And I still know there is a lot I don't know.
Here's what doesn't fail.
- 1 Circulation - flow + strongman + skills
1 x Heavy Partial Movement / Power Movement
What?
> PPP Step-Ups (Poliquin / Petersen / Patrick), bench press lockouts, 1/2 seated presses, rack-pulls etc.
> Power Snatch / Clean / Jerk etc., Jumps, Banded lifts. Push Press,
How?
You have to feel something heavy. Even going to 8/10 on these movements exposes your body to high loads. Focus on the 5-10RM loads on these movements.
Why?
This loads the structural system and switches on the nervous system.
How Much?
This depends on your goals and your level of preparation.
2 x Key Movements
What?
Split squats, cyclist squats, front squats
Nordic curls, seated good mornings, Romanian deadlifts, deficit snatch grip deadlifts
Dips, DB Bench Press, RTO Dips, BTN Presses
Chin-ups, 1 arm Rows
How?
Build quality of movement and the mind-body connection.
Do 15-100 reps of each movement 5x3 - 20 x5
Why?
> These are the movements that are going to make the biggest impact on your performance while reducing injury risk. They're a big range of motion movements that can be loaded heavily
3 x Supplementary Movements
What?
Calf raises, tibialis anterior, Jefferson curls, sissy squats
Forearm work, bicep work, tricep work, pec work
How?
2-5 minutes / movement 30-200 reps.
Track 10 RM
Why?
> A chain is as strong as its weakest link. No weak links are the aim of this block. Focussing only on the primary lifts pre-disposes injury and decreased performance.
Repeat
5-60 minutes
Sleds, light strongman, running, swimming, cycling, etc.
These can be cyclic movements or games.
If you're doing a lot of hacky and handstand work you'll have less need for this work depending on your goal.
