Anecdotally; when I started trying to move all my lifts as quickly as possible I noticed an increase in progress. Great video!

[@klichukb]

This channel is gold. Wow

[@TheFelipe10848]

pure gold, criminally underrated

[@gerym341]

Another great video! Thank you guys

[@ekiboi5746]

Absolutely fantastic work guys, and eagerly waiting for more to come!

[@georgesxuereb]

Great content and production! You guys should roll out a (second) video on the Infinity Programs - barely any info on it out in the ether.

[@Mr.BasixCSCS]

Fantastic work! Im here for the algorithm!!!

[@derekslarson]

Love your content!

[@Mrobert1017]

As always, amazing video. Love the new format.

[@tellheraboutit]

I really enjoyed the video. Great info and well laid out.

[@lejancalo]

They don't miss.

This info is a gamechanger for those who struggle with injuries or seem to respond poorly to conventional loading schemes. I accidentaly stumbled upon this concept years ago on an experimental program and it was, to date, the most successful and pain free program I've ever done. Thanks for putting this info out there in a formal but clear manner!

[@MuscularMontel]

May I ask what program this was?

[@RohannvanRensburg]

@@MuscularMontel Trying to find it, will post back if/when I do.
Something like pick 3 exercises, test your 1rm (either through 1rm test or 3rm), run those at 70% 5x/week for 5 reps of 5 sets (can't quite recall) and don't change weight for 3-4 weeks. I think you could vary this theoretically, i.e. 4 exercises and 4 sets or similar. I would run this a bit more elegantly now but I loved it. Super chill, almost meditative gym time and found some sizable strength and reasonable hypertrophy gains.

[@MuscularMontel]

@@RohannvanRensburg nice. I had the same findings as you when running Barbell Medicine’s low fatigue template.

[@cheeks7050]

Thanks

[@laker42594]

When if ever would you consider incorporating pauses in the lengthened position?

[@bawa.8765]

Great content but for some maybe hard to understand how to apply

[@klichukb]

Provided you laid such difference between strength-focused sets and hypertrophy sets, do you still think power building makes sense? After primary strength-focused sets with maximizing velocity on high loads away from failure, is close-to-failure work for hypertrophy still valid in terms of progress and recovery between sessions?

[@zachk2060]

But isn't high psychological acuity at say RPE 7 comparable to low psychological acuity at say RPE 9? So if proximity to failure doesn't matter as much, why bother going through the stress of arousal?
