I like those advices Brian.
Im sure Matt is just asking for something watch and maybe some pointers / idea's, he knows what he's doing.
Most however latch on to every word some of these " YT coaches" tell them. Its comical...
Thank you. Yes, that sums it up.
What I find interesting [and sometimes confusing] is when multiple weight coaches - all considered elite - fiercely debate each other on some points. Example: I'm not sure if you remember Layne talking about "metabolic damage" years ago - Lyle McDonald debated him fiercely on that one. Said it was complete bollocks.
It seemed more likely that Layne's female clients just weren't adhering to their diets, but that their metabolisms were fine.
Or MAYBE Layne was just trying to sell a gimmick, to get frustrated female clients to select him as a coach. Lyle said it ultimately got Layne a mansion.
I'm trying to stick with ONLY the techniques where there is a consensus, for that reason. So I don't get bogged down going through multiple sides of a debate, and have to parse through masses of literature.
One think that surprised me - supposedly going to failure is NOT the ideal way to train.
Unfortunately, I'm not great at gauging pre-failure points well, so I will be sticking to failure or near failure for now!
But any little efficiencies like that help. :)M
