"No drug free lifter or moderately enhanced lifter should be training more than 3 days a week."

"can't argue with his results" (c) some anon
>>35135768
What do you expect from a guy like him? This is why he looks like shit even with roids.
Blaha is the ultimate sour grapes. Why the fuck is he posted so often, a year or two ago if anyone brought him up they'd be laughed at, now people take him seriously for some reason
>>35135768
Nope. This is an outdated murrilard training paradigm.
why do you care to what he has the say? His opinions are just as credible as any other gymbro
the norwegians are training 5-6 days a week and they seem to do OK.
>>35135768
Do you want to look like Blaha ? Are you as delusional as Blaha ? Then do your three days a week shit, fact of the matter is most of the stronglifters are fucking lazy as fuck, hence whey they never cut and sprout shit like, I aint no homo, gettin shredded is the gayest thing ever, nromal people think you look disgusting, yeah fuck off mate, go do your three heavy sets of squats and fuck off home
Even my natty gf trains 4 days a week and recovers fine.
I've never seen any of this guys videos but why does anyone even consider him an authority in fitness? Dude has clearly not made it.
>>35135915
>why does anyone even consider him an authority in fitness
I don't think anyone does, honestly.
>>35135768
The 3 times a week thing works for pretty much everyone. This is something covered by Rippetoe. Also for an absolute beginner you won't see that much difference if any between lifting 3 times a week or 4 or more times most likely.
Beyond beginner you should probably be lifting more than 3 times a week.
>>35135820
Because this board went to shit

my natty gf trains 6 days a week. Swimmer tho.

I started lifting 3 days a week while doing jiu jitsu 6 days a week, doubles on the days where I wasn't lifting. I now lift 4 days a week and do jiu jitsu 7 days a week, still doubles when I'm not lifting. I recover fine, make slow progress every month (2nd year of lifting), and haven't had DOMS in as long as I can remember. Natty my whole life... people are fucking lazy.
>>35136350
Oh boy...
>>35136350
>>35135967
you mean she trains 0 days a week
>>35135768
How could anyone think this.
Confirmed for never making it
I'm natty and doing Bulgarian method. Day 51. Haven't died.
I like blaha but with diet and training he just recommends whatever he is doing at the moment and dismisses everything else
a while back he was lifting 6x a week and explaining why this would be optimal for both strength and size and how well it can be done if you train properly
frequency, workload, and overtraining arent even considered issues in many cultures that do weightlifting and dont get their advice from the internet. they just know more is more and overtraining is pretty much alien to them, and they produce world class weightlifters and train amateurs the same way - even have kids lifting 6-7x per week and doing 4 bodybuilding sessions on top.
its not neccesary to go more than 3-4 times per week, but more is more.

>>35135768
i worked my way up from lifting 3 times a week (actually did SS) to 6 days a week of heavy lifting + cardio
actually squat 3x per week and deadlift 2x per week. benching 4 times. stronger than blaha and natty. if you work your way up over some months its not a problem to recover. and yeah i work a rather physical job too
>>35136786
Programming for a small medical distribution software company. I could almost certainly get paid more to work elsewhere but then I'd have to wear something besides pajamas and gis.
I'm natty and do a split 6 days a week for 60-90 minutes a pop. when you do a split its fine, though everyone always cries its overworking. only downside is i sleep a shit tonne.
its also pretty common to hear on this board that training more than 3-4 days a week is overdoing it, even two days in a week is "not possible". dunno. i wish it was obligatory to post a progress pic with every post so i could immediately tell whose advice to dismiss.
>>35135768
My gf does strongman, lifts 5 days a week. Hear dead is 325. That dude can fuck himself.
Is it accepted to drop your fucking weight at the top of a deadlift? I get that you aren't driving as much when you're lowering which might be a waste you can spend on another pull, but i never progress until i can lower my weight instead of dropped it like i just heard the ice cream truck
im currently doing ice cream 5x5
am i going to look like this blob?
should i stop?
>>35137002
Yes you will, just go back to SS, then when you've progressed enough switch to split, Texas method, or any other routine that has given proven results.
GIT YE GONE GOLEM, blahaha needs to fuck off.
>>35135768
Depends weather its 3 days a week FULL body, OR 1 or 2 parts trained at a time
If its full body 3x is plenty per week.
>>35135820
>Scooby...
People used to hate that dumb ass, then 2 years ago everyone started to love him.
Why any dumbass listens to a vegetarian lifter is beyond me. The dude looks like shit too.
I started out 3x a week for my first 6-8 months of lifting. Then I moved to 5x a week.
Some weeks I go 6x a week and play football on Sundays.
I'm 30 and I look 1000x better than this troll
>>35136950
>My gf does strongman
Hang on...
Yeah 3 days is sorta the mininmum and 4 is really the best. But y
If you increase your training you do need to be careful to get sleep and eat. I went to a four day split on Texas Method from SS and I noticed that sleep became even more important for progress.
Kinbody only trains 3x a week, so does alphadestiny. You can train more, but it requires more food and trickier programming to actually progress and not get burnt out. How fuck can you stall on 3 days a week
Unless you're on gear you can't recover from more than a certain number of near maximal repetitions per muscle group per unit of time.
That means that there is flexibility in training frequency , but there is a limit to repetition X load density
There are many ways to train natty, but you obviously can't hammer chest 3x per week with 60 near maximal reps per session and expect to recover
>>35137250
Yea. I don't think they call it strongwoman. Everyone there is strongfat. I had hoped she'd become a cardio bunny but que sera sera.
I started doing a 5 days/week brosplit(chest,back,legs,shoulders,arms) for about a year, it worked but fullbody works much better for me. Fullbody 3 times a week is 10x better, you should hit every muscle part again after about 48 hours. Blaha is 100% right.
>>35135768
i lift every day because every day i want to stop thinking about killing myself for at least a little bit
>>35135957
>went to shit
Nice rose tinted glasses. Before him there was some one else this exact thing was talked about. And before him someone else.
The cycle keeps repeating
Went from 6'4 392lbs to 198lbs doing full body 3x a week. It's the most optimal for the majority of people with the exception of genetically gifted people who will grow from stimulating a muscle once a week on a brosplit then why not do a split then? Otherwise stick to the bread and butter that had always worked.
If you don't have the time to do a full body 3x a week do what you gotta do just be consistent.
What about 3x a week full body vs 4x a week Upper/Lower split?
>>35137951
this tbqh senpai
3 days a week is for lazy faggots
7 days per week is for lazy faggots

Fuck that I like going to the gym. I'm an adult and I do what I want to. Six days a week, suck it.
>>35135768
so I'm new to lifting, am I right in saying this guy's deadlift form is shit? He's just slamming the weight down and rounding his back as he does it. Shouldn't he be lowering his hips and slowly lowering the weight to the ground?
>>35140594
Most people don't do negatives on deadlifts.
>>35138926
It's just Stronglifts with accessories tacked on to impress young people who think excessive volume=gains. He admits you could strip out the isos and get just as much gains. Stick to regular SL or SS then tack on your own isos for lagging muscles.
>>35140594
at heavier weight it should be a guided drop; no holding it back or slamming it down.
in competition basically you just have to keep your hands on the bar.

Is alberto really not natty?
>>35141067
even if not, greg o'gallagher is, which still invalidates all of blaha's points about natties not being able to maintain 6% bodyfat year round without dysfunctioning hormones (granted greg is closer to 7% at 6.6% from dexa)
but yea, most likely not (could be, though), but blaha is still retarded.
also alberto looks way more natty in less flattering lighting, without a pump, and without posing.

Well, Jason mentioned autistic people like you who have nothing else in their lives than lifting, so they just go to the gym.
Year after year, with no real results. Withoit roids especially you are basically juts wasting your life going to the gym even more than twice a week
>>35141202
Natty, train 6-7 days a week. Split+10-12 of sleep a day.
>>35141213
give evidence greg isn't natty as fuark.

You can't give evidence that anyone is natty unless you take a polygraph test.

>muh functional strength
>men don't need visible abs
whatever.
There are still plenty of worthwhile splits for natty lifters, and many people at the intermediate level can use 4 days of weight training depending on sport. Somebody in a barbell sport (weightlifting, powerlifting, physique competition) can easily easily be at the gym six days a week on something that's not really a split, totally natty.
It's really common to see people take something true ("'Hammer every individual muscle to failure with dumbbells and cables, five days a week' is a brosplit meant for roiders") and overextend it into falsehood.
>>35141821
Polygraph tests are bullshit. You might as well have a witch doctor reading your aura with bone totems to determine if you're lying.
>>35140594
Total shit. The people that say you have to lower it super gently are just plain wrong. But just dropping it is a pussy move for anybody doing deadlifts for gains instead of training for a power lifting meet.
>>35141212
in my experience it's the guys who train 3 times a week doing a couple sets of deadlifts, bench, and squat that get literally nowhere.
it's the guys who go 5-6 days a week doing a combination of both that progress the furthest.

i dont for a second believe those torn up noodles jason has measure 18" cold, not even 17" cold
Volume is individual and should be adjusted accordingly. What gives most growth? As much volume as possible that you can still recover from. As you train more you can handle more volume. It's not unusual for more elite level lifters to train 6-7 days/week. Intelligent programming is of course an important factor in higher frequency training. A training schedule can be programmed many ways and does not have to be limited to 3-4 days a week.
>>35135768

Totally blew the fuck out of "3x a week" training, which I was doing for about 2 years prior.

Then why is my father, uncle, grandfather all lean as fuck? They all lift but not to the standards of what /fit/ would expect and they all maintain sub 10% bf year round without touching any kind of drug supplementation.

Turns out he was sucking dicks.
If you train full body every time you hit the gym then yes, 3 times is plenty.
That said, the biggest people I know train almost every day.
