Todays video is a followup to the previous one on strength standards to look like you lift.

We address many topics...is relative strength better than absolute strength to measure how advanced you are?

Why is your experience different with strength levels and muscularity than what I outlined?

What are my strength levels currently with my current physique? And a few more interesting things.

11:21 - Real life example of Mario Tomic and Thomas Campidell

16:02 - Geoffrey Verity Schofield vs Pascal Flor (Deceptive strong and deceptive muscular people)

20:28 - How often you do a particular lift is a big confounder

22:11 - People who don't lift for strength are still strong as f**k if they are very muscular

27:05 - How strong am I?

In todays video I’m giving you an overview of how I train at the moment, and I will contrast that to how I would recommend others to train whose goal is to build the most amount of muscle possible.

At the moment my main priority is not to build muscle in the most efficient way possible, in fact I’m happy if I just maintain for the time being.

Some things however you could still implement from the way I train and could benefit you, even if your goal is to grow in the most effective/efficient way possible. Some of the other things...not so much.

0:00 - intro

1:57 - how my training is structured - general overview

8:01 - things I do in my training that could benefit you (if you want to build muscle)

8:20 - effort/volume

10:18 - muscle group specificity and overlap between movements

17:09 - no minimum per session volume

19:14 - no exercises on a piedestal

20:37 - pairing exercises up - training in a circuit-like fashion

22:52 - Things I do that you definitely DON’T want to do (if you want to build muscle)

23:14 - not focusing on progression in the lifts and lack of tracking

25:55 - waay too flexible scheduling of workouts

28:17 - fluctuating training volume week to week

29:49 - not tracking body-composition

30:39 - not eating enough to grow (hardgainers and advanced lifters, pay attention)

In this video I'll address whether "main-gaining", as popularized by Greg Doucette is the best approach to building muscle, and whether it can really replace traditional cutting and bulking cycles.

In today's video we'll take an objective look at how well I managed to settle at a low body-fat percentage after doing pretty much everything "right" in terms of what I preach about settling at a leaner physique.

I won't be vague here, we'll rate all the various aspects of life that can change in response to being leaner or fatter, and then we'll come up with a verdict.

1:32 - How I evaluate if this body-fat is sustainable

2:24 - Appetite management

4:21 - Sleep

7:12 - Energy levels
