good quotes indeed.
Re core training: I typically don't do much direct work at all but recently have (as not squatting or deadlifting) and I have already seen good improvements in strength. (isometric strength specifically).
So, I still say it is optional for those doing compound barbell movements until it is a limiting factor. Certainly not the main factor in creating visible abs though.
The law of diminishing returns contrasts against your first quote.
There is no way to do the least to get the maximum. The body doesn't work like that, adaptation isn't an efficient process. You do some work and you get better, you do double the work and you get 50% more, you do double again and you may get another 5%
I'd rather do quadruple what is "efficient" for those extra 5%. Sure some exercise is better than others, but it's not rocket science to figure that out.
(perform the minimum amount) to (produce the maximum amount of growth)
so you'd rather perform the maximum amount to produce the minimum amount of growth?
you read into too much, too much.
I would love to get involved, but avoid some conversation now.
But, it is amusing how the point of diminished return applied to his past discussion of PED use, but does not apply to training, the most important part of getting strong.
If it was all about the workload to get stronger, then why are so few in many gyms not that strong.
Silverback, while I recognises the strengths of different programs, I am with you - avoid overload as much as possible. Smart and intense training goes a very long way.
So few people in many gyms are not that strong because they are not performing a high workload. They dick around on pointless shit that make it impossible to rack up good poundage
You have got the brains of a bag of hair, fair dinkum.
Most young dudes, do *a lot* of the pointless exercises, spend up to 2 hours in the gym working well below the level of *work* needed to provide maximal results.
I agree
It's the workload that counts
What does "workload" mean to youI agree
It's the workload that counts
What does "workload" mean to you
And you better not fucken say more volume or frequency
