>that guy who does 5/3/1 even though he's a beginner
>>37071541
A partially autoregulated program like 5/3/1 would actually work pretty good for beginners.
>>37071546
>autoregulated
Elaborate.
>>37071554
5/3/1 only moves its training maxes up monthly, but the main set is an all-out set and the assistance isn't a prechosen weight or anything. If you've gotten stronger (and a beginner should have) your reps will go up to match. Its not like a set-in-stone weight/rep scheme where someone outpacing the expected progression will waltz through the workouts.

I really love that insult

>you dogmatic autistic grey hoodie, Olympic shoe wearing intermediate lifter.
h-how did y-ou..
>>37071622
Its a common stereotype. Lotta guys got into fitness around about the same time from the same info sources... and absorbed about the same amount of understanding.
>>37071622
>>37071651
This.
Beginner = Grey hoodie + runners
Novice = Grey hoodie + foam roller
Intermediate = Grey hoodie + foam roller + olympic shoes
Advanced = Grey hoodie + foam roller + olympic shoes + inzer belt
>>37071572
I see what're you're saying BUT it does not need to be autoregulated; each months you can reasses your maxes and calculate on your new max.
On a side note, I like 5/3/1. I just started another cycle today. My deadlift has been untrained in 3 months and i managed to lift 10 kilos more on my max diddlylift than i ever have done before. Weird.
Feels good to lift for strength desu fampai

It would work, but you would still gain more strength on SS
>>37071750
In the short term? Probably. Three lower body sessions a week trumps two for learning to display strength.
In the longer term? Maybe not. The lack of volume on SS tends to make people hit walls once they've tapped out their easy CNS increases and they haven't developed the muscle mass to go with it.

You do. It doesn't need to be all in one session or accomplished via high reps, but you need workload to grow.

That's why you do GOMAD, have you even read the book?
>>37071821
Yep. When they figure out squatting in runners is bad, but they don't want to spend the money on oly shoes.

>>37071858
What??
>>37071885
Normally I rank them together, but after listening to JD again, the only good song is On GP, so I don't want it to drag down NoTM
>>37071887
Death grips album acronyms for all unawares
>>37071868
You, I and anyone else who read the book all know that GOMAD is not a blanket recommendation for new trainees.
>>37071899
>there are people that think Niggas on The Moon is better than Jenny Death
What
>>37071921
NoTM has no bad songs, whereas JD only has one good song
>>37071855
Bigger weights are volume too, anon
Remember that the whole point of exercise is to shred your muscles. You're actively damaging your musculature in a controlled manner so that it gets stronger when it's rebuilt.
But after a certain point you can't do it with repetition alone. The only thing you get by lifting light weights a billion times is worn-out cartilages, like a less retarded version of crossfit, while lifting a huge weight once will provide you with the muscular damage you're looking for in the first place.
>>37071927
I'd contend that JD only has one bad song, while NOTM's songs are pretty much all average to forgettable
>>37071932

He already said that, work on your reading comprehension.

>>37071899
That was my initial opinion on the album, but I Break Mirrors, Inanimate Sensation, Turned Off and DG 2.0 really grew on me. I'd go as far as saying Turned Off is one of their best songs, Ride's flow in the first hook is really great(reminds me of Beware for some reason)
>>37071932
That's called intensity not volume you stupid bitch. You're wrong and you should feel bad that you're spreading misinformation.
>>37071700
>tfw this was my progression minus the grey hoodie
>>37072805
Volume is weight moved X reps X sets, you imbecile.
>>37072853
Try to get the same amount of volume doing sets of 3 as you would doing a set of 12. (Just an example).
It'll take twice as long.
>b-but muh strength
Who cares? The strength gain differences between high and low reps of equal volume is only really marginal, depending on how advanced you are.
Bodybuilders don't care about strength anyway.
If you're a powerlifter, go ahead, do your 7x3. But if you just want your muscles to grow, you can do the same amount of volume in half the time doing 4x8. 4x8 is still much more volume if you assume 7x3 is done at 90% of 1RM and 4x8 is done at 78%. Do the math.
>>37072965
I am a powerlifter. Very little of the training is stuff that's like 7x3. A lot of my current programming has me doing the main compounds for 8 or more reps at 70% my 1rm to accumulate fatigue. The difference in strength gains are big for beginner when you compare high reps and low reps, it's not until you get more advanced that more volume is required to progress.
