Lifting Heavy every single day - LOG

[Iron_Will]

SO, here is the start of my log. I will tell you everything. All inside details. i want to give knowledge and let other people know about my training methods and how i go about things. Im not saying this is going to work out perfect. But i am testing my own theories out. I want to share my success OR just plain failure (for a program, not forever) with you guys and just really show people that there is more out there other than just a 4 or 5 day split. Or a 3 day so called "strength program"

FIRST OFF: My theory is that the more you lift, and the more frequent you lift, the more better and stronger your body will be with that movement. If you lift light, you will be better with light weights. If you lift heavy you body will adapt and get stronger by lifting those heavy weights. I believe strength is mostly neural and recruiting motor units. If your lifting heavy and frequently with the main compound exercises, you strength will shoot up in the quickest and fastest way possible. So enough of what i think. Here is what i will be doing for who knows how long. It could be 1 week. Or 1 month. But i will edit my programs and how they go on this first post. Im starting with program 1. If i continue to progress, i will continue to do it. If i fail to progress, i will change it. KEEP ME MOTIVATED

PROGRAM #1 Is listed Below. Follow my journey!

GUYS I THINK THIS IS THE PROGRAM IM GONNA DO. LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK. IM THINKING THIS IS THE ONE.

Thing is, im not sure if 93% is to much or not enough. Granted the other exercises are going to help my squat like you guys said because it will improve my weaknesses. But should i increase or decrease the squat percentage. Maybe go down to 90% or up to 95% (which i think is to much..95% for 5 days straight is imo, reason is because of all the assistance work)

So your gonna squat and deadlift heavy triples everyday? with like no assistence work and expect to get stronger at them? Do you even know how the strongest in the world got to where they are? By not doing this, by doing special assistence lifts that bring up whatever is holding THEM back from being stronger, unless you have technique issues preforming the same lifts all the time wont result in better strength gains. Also if your gonna do this at least follow an olympic type program with REAL programming.

I expected these type of posts. BTW, let me know... How much do you think i can climb? I weight 180 btw. How far do you think i can take my triples to? (for Squat and Deads) I just want an honest opinion. And don't take this as a competition. I want your honest opinion. Ready set GO!

Im just curious where you got the idea to do this? And honestly seeing as if your form is in check, not far maybe 5lbs if your lucky. But your gonna do this everyday with no off days your gonna put a beating on your cns system. And ull most likely start going backward very fast. I suggest you read the westside book of methods book to learn. Also me and you would never have a competition, unless your at a meet im at in the same weight class.

Im not talking about a competition. Im talking about how far do you think (with my current numbers in program #1, do you think i can take my sets of 3 to? I want to get your opinion on when i will stall,ect.. I will get videos up of me blasting through 405 on the squat and 415 on the deadlift. Blast my CNS? what is this? Fairy world? Grow a set of nuts and lift. I feel like crap all the time. <Matter of fact, i should just go down to my basement and lift with no sleep and put a video up so you can see. Im not trying to be mean, but this is what im doing. And i should just accept the fact that no one will take me seriously until i prove you guys wrong. Im not sure if it is going to work but we will surely find out in literally 2 weeks.

Assuming your first numbers posted are MAX triples and that is the most you could possible do on that day then you wont get far. There will most likely be a boost in numbers before your cns tanks. Then things will go backwards. I suggested you some text that talks about these very things, nonlinear conjugate training. Grow a pair? Look your numbers arnt all impressive and we all train when we doing feel 100 percent, this does not make you hardcore. Bad programming does not make you hardcore, if you make strength gains great. Maybe you shoulda looked up smolve or something. And please post videos, to make sure your form is on point so this is a true test of whether or not max triples day in and day out will produce strength gains in 3 movements with no assistence work.

[Gutterpump]

Yikes. Even on gear, this is a really really really bad idea. Did I forget to say this is a really bad idea? Maybe you think you are a god and not a human with human limitations lol

Have fun!

Alright. im gonna try it. btw, what are your numbers? and some videos? Also, It is a very heavy 3 rep lift. Im not going to take a weight lifting by myself and risk failing every time. but, its going to be heavy to do so, and risk injury. It going to be hard. Just stick with me man.

Yikes. Even on gear, this is a really really really bad idea. Did I forget to say this is a really bad idea? Maybe you think you are a god and not a human with human limitations lol

thanks man.

Updates with videos coming soon. I can't post them yet because you need 50 posts. So im going around putting random stuff into threads. Stupid rule imo.

[Iron_Will]

2/13/12:

Today was a great day. Hit everything i wanted to. Going to try to go 10 pounds every day. I know you might think that 100lbs in 10 days. Well. Yes. I don't know if i will go that high. But my goal is to hit at least 450 for 3 reps each. that would be amazing. I felt stronger than ever today. And i lifted yesterday. BOOM! i can't wait for another day tomorrow and more videos... Im honestly just hoping for all this to work out. Updates coming every day. VIDEO BELOW FROM TODAYS WORKOUT... FOOD FOOD FOOD!!!

Squat - 400x 3 reps (RAW)


Deadlift - 415x 3 reps (RAW)

[Roniboney]

I admire your poassion I really do but you need rest to grow.You must know that.

But the best olympic lifters in China lift everyday for hours,get stronger ect so it can be done.I would say though make sure you are warming up thoroughly,taking care of your joints,watch those knees also and are you including any upper body work or is it jsut squats and deads?

[diggyboo]

Lifting heavy will also train your muscles to slow down. The slower you become, the harder it will be to get through that sticking point. That's why power lifters have speed days to offset the maximum effort days. If you wanna be fast you train fast, like sprinters, they don't jog to get faster!! Boxers hit a heavy bag AND adored bag.

Most important of all... Power=speed x strength !!!! That is the scientific equation for power in layman's terms.

[Rodja]

Your squat technique isn't too bad, but I can already tell that you need to increase your posterior chain and ab strength. Your deadlift looks really bad, though. The movement is not smooth and your ass pops up way too quickly. It also looks like your shoulders are in front of the bar at the beginning of the movement and it's throwing off your technique to where you're using predominantly upper back.

As to the program itself, it makes absolutely zero sense to do triples on both squats and deadlifts every week much less the same session. You're only 19 and have soooo much that you need to learn about programming, addressing weak areas, and, most importantly, technique.

That first sentence is absolutely not true at all. You cannot lift a heavy weight slow. The dynamic effort is to assist with force development and technique, but it is not to offset the ME. The most power in terms of wattage comes from using weights in the 30-60% of 1RM range, which is roughly what is used in the conjugate method.
