Decent article...
I agree that the programming will work for increasing strength (1-3RM) in the big lifts, but how useful is this for concurrently gaining mass/muscle.
I understand that nutrition will dictate mass gaining potential, but is it necessary to have some higher rep work (8-12) for more hypertrophy?
It's important to remember that most people want to be strong AND look strong. At least I do.
I think the best option is to alternate cycles of strength and hypertrophy. 8-12 weeks of intensity (relative to 1rm) followed by 6-8 weeks of volume works great for me. The lifts never stray, but the intensity, volume, rest etc will vary for maximal gains in strength and physique.
Anyone else train this way? (I compete in both BB and PL)
