Brian Siders Training Log

[The Locust]

My main philosophy revolves around high to very high volume and lots of variation

I currently use the HIT method, which consists of very short but intense workouts...

Now seriously, my training is based on a combination of western routines combined with high volume european/ russian routines. The volume is similar to the latter, but instead of performing the bp 4 times a week (i.e. Sheiko), I will hit the same volume but add in a greater number of variety in regards to training different movements, instead of doing each competition lift several times per week. Each workout is set up pretty simple, where at each workout I try to hit a minimum of 12 exercises.

The first 4 exercises serve as a warm up, work for neglected areas, prehab or rehab, and to increase conditioning and work capacity. When I first started doing this, the initial movements would affect (negatlively) my core movements, but now they do not. Exercises 5 through 8 typically are core movements that either consist of the competion lift, a variation of the lift, or some compound movement that aids in increasing the competition lift. The last 4 exercises are assistance exercises that work the individual muscle groups involved in the competition lift. It has taken around 9 years to work up to this type of volume and capacity.

I have no specific system (it is a combination of many with my own twists), just a long process of trial and error combined with endless hours in the gym.

I seem to respond best by doing as much volume as I can handle. Of course sometimes I go too far and get overtrained and have to take a week off, but when I come back I'm stronger than ever.

The best way for me not to overtrain is to back down in intensity every few weeks on the core lifts (except for the last few weeks before a meet) and maintain volume. Its not exact, but about every 4th week, I drop the volume about 10 to 15 percent on core exercises and assistance work.

When I was in graduate school full time, I would not usually have one large block of time throughout the day, so some days I would split up the training and it seemed to work just fine. You just have to experiment to see how you can split it up. One way to start is to do your main exercises in the morning and assistance work in the second workout. In this case, you will find that you will be able to handle more weight on your assistance exercises.

Sommigen zouden al overtraind raken van zijn warm-up oefeningen alleen

Je mag namelijk max 45minuten trainen

Wacht effe, dat was toch alleen bij HIT, infrequent trainen, dus 1 set per 45 minuten of was het nou om de 45 dagen?
