My Simple Way to Get Strong

Get STRONG the simple way. Max out, then hit 70% for 3x10. Increase weight by 5-10lbs a session for 3 weeks, then rotate that variation. Accessories can be milked for 2-3x longer. Done.

“Minimize arousal” bro I’m bricked up every chest day

[TeRizzardOfOz]

"Minimise Arousal", "Stay Hard" what do I do.. 😔

[marktuason]

Bro you just summarized what has almost been a decade of your training to one YT short lmao

Love concurrent training!

I started building up to 1RM a couple weeks ago, and it's changed my perspective, when you've worked up to a 1RM you know whether you are just slacking off on your rep work, or if it's too heavy.
With my backsquat I've been struggling to improve my rep work - not because of lacking strength, but now I've found out, because of poor cardio.

[heheha]

alex risked his whole life to make a video for us

[time_luck]

Saw this at the beginning of the year. After stagnating on squat for a year at 205 (lazy with legs + was probably too concerned about form), I went from 205 to 325 in just over 5 months.

My 2 alternating variations for 3x10 were standard squats and heel elevated squats. On my other leg day I do pause squats (3 sets 6-10 reps)

[francescobergonzi]

Alex thank you for evrything you do for us.

[ridafett]

Can you make a full video on this Alex?

[peeteri]

So wait you get the top single every 3 weeks and then test it again? So:
1. Test max
2. Work 3 sets of 10 with 70% of max, adding 5 pounds per session
3. Work on assistance movement using double progression in certain rep range (5-8 the best?)
4. After 3 weeks test max again and rotate the assistance exercises

[MarcoIsBig]

Nice breakdown Alex. Double progression is great.

[RTH]

I’ve said it before, I’ll surely say it again… I wish I had this video years ago. Great stuff 👌🏻

[BigFan-xxyf]

Can you post a more in depth video behind this? Explain why it works (specifically the 3 x 10 at 70%) and compare it towards more traditional rep schemes (3x3, 5x5, 3x8-10, etc.)

[oliviervo]

This really is the best way to powerbuild.

[Eyoballin]

Would love a video on different kinds of progressions for strength. Why would you choose a wave vs linear, etc, and does it make a difference. How do you choose rep ranges. I know some of the basics of strength programming but the details seems more complicated compared to hypertrophy where it seems things dont matter as much

[neil]

Absolute Gold. I cannot say thank you enough man. In a short no less, absolutely nailed it. 💪💪

[barbellbryce]

What are the pros/cons between doing the 3x10 back offs vs what you did prior to 2020?

[brendonbowman]

For your last short vid on biceps is this how you would set it up
Chest/shoulders/biceps
Legs
Back/triceps rear delts
Rest
Repeat
Also if I built up to 50kg ez bar curls for 8-10 reps would that be enough for huge biceps

[roachofdoom]

Wait so the top single DOESN’T go up by 5-10 pounds a session? Just the backoff 3x10? Sorry that part confused me

[incidentus]

This short came in time i was about to start bench specialisation program

[alpasca]

I wanted to start the normal way of max effort with rotating between 4-5 variations and maxing out every week, but this spin on it sounds interesting
