To everyone viewing in 2024: I took these principles to heart over one year ago and since then I have gotten the best natty gains of my life despite being intermediate and averaging under 10 sets/week per bodypart. I added plates to all of my compounds, my lagging bodyparts came up, I built muscle WHILE losing fat and staying the same bodyweight. There is some wiggle room as far as adding isolation movements goes but the core principles are what matters: Pick a movement(or movements), ''max'' them everyday in some rep range. (1, 1-2, 3-5, 4-6, 5+) Add reps or weight aggressively over time to force progression. Minimal daily volume, as high intensity as recovery allows. Rotate lifts when your body tells you to (plateau, local fatigue, discomfort, mental exhaustion etc) Make sure to sleep 7-10 hours/night Get enough food Rinse&Repeat until you have a reason to stop. From the bottom of my heart, thank you Erik. I wish I knew this 10+ years ago.

Sy Eckbe look at where you stuck at in the bench. If the bottom, try decline or pause bench. Have a back off set as well also you could change to floor presses. If it’s the lock out, try pin presses, board presses, ohp, push press or close grip. You could also switch to dips. You could also try accommodating resistance Choose 1 of those depending on your weakness and max it out. Then cycle back to benching. You could have he 1 rep max then have a lighter back off set

I have never heard truer words regarding the fitness world. I spent a good three years following these programs off of websites from "Professionals" and saw minimal improvements throughout. The only problem was, i didnt know anything passed that so i didnt know i was making minimal gains. It wasnt until i threw the programs out, focused each day on bench, deadlift, or squat, and some assistance exercises. Each exercise i was completely focused on because i wasnt focuses on the program, i was just focused on what i was doing in that moment. I have never been stronger than i am now. I'm still working hard on improving but in a year i was able to accomplish these lifts since following Erics advise. Bench: Could barely push 185lbs, now my 1RM is 295lbs Squat: Struggled squatting 205lbs, now my 1RM is 385LBS Deadlift: 225lbs almost made me pop a blood vessel, now my 1RM is 445LBS Awesome advice Eric!

When I first started lifting I basically did 100% fluff lol, thinking I was doing all the right shit because that's what people told me I was supposed to do. And at that point I had no idea what real strength was. Now I've already switched my training over to be more focused on the lifts that matter, and I still have to cut it down even more. Anyway, these kind of videos are what make this channel great. 100% cut through the noise. Pure focus = motivation and progress. I'll have to return to this video from time to time to remind me to stop drifting into fluff-land.

Hey Eric, can you do a video about how you found out about Bulgarian light and how you transitioned into it? I remember you talked about this in an older video and you mentioned how important it was when you read some Pavel Tsatsouline book and understood the "greasing the groove" concept. Not only that video seem to be gone (with many others) but now your channel is much bigger and I guess it would help a lot to stop the same questions over and over. As an endnote, I finally got the needed space and bought a home gym after four long years wasting time at regular gyms.

***UPDATE*** I've been doing this routine all this week and I feel great after my workouts. I used to feel like shit after training when I was doing 6 to 8 excerises a day. I come in everyday focused on my trap bar D.L. and my bench. If I'm to tight to do bench I'll do the E.B. decline pullover to press to negative skull crushers. If I'm just tight all over, I'll take the day off. I work up to my 1RM for that day document it then I do a couple high rep back off sets. In the morning I'll do the E.B. mobility routine or some yoga with some lacrosse ball mashing on some tight areas. In the evening I'll lay on the ground with my legs on the wall in a V and do the E.B. wall stretch for 20 to 30 minutes while I watch TV on my back. Thanks so much this is working GREAT....!!!!

After deciding against milk 10 years ago I bought half a gallon of milk and it took me 5 days to finish. I just bought 1 gallon and I'm gonna a try to finish it. I'm gonna be making the switch to organic grass fed raw milk if I can finish it before it expires.

I just have some questions/thoughts... I'm 15 (going on my junior year of High School), and I've been lifting seriously probably for a year now. When I was 14, I benched 100 for my max. About 2 months later, I was doing 3-5 sets of 10-15 with the same weight. I hit puberty probably around December/January, grew a lot, got a lot stronger, and got my bench up. In about a 3 week's time during my track season, I went from a 155 bench to a 185. I kept benching (bulgarian) to get that 30 lb boost, but started plateauing. I did bulgarian for my deadlift, and went up by 20 lbs in only 2 days, up to 275 and used everything in my body and all my drive to get it, but I was feeling sore in places I never even felt sore from deadlifting before (like even some in my chest from squeezing so hard). However, because I'm lagging in some places, I wanted to try AlphaDestiny's novice program. I was wondering your thoughts on this (if you know what it is) and if this will be a good foundation to build size/strength. Because before, I would lift everyday for a bit, then suddenly stop because of schoolwork overload (all Honors classes), then start lifting again after a week, and it would repeat. However, this is like my 5th day of his novice program, and it's really helping to build a foundation and prepare me mentally. My 5x5 overhead press has gone up 10 pounds in 2 sessions, as well as my squat, deadlift, and trap bar deadlift. It's really working for me, but I was just wondering if a program like this would be optimal for me since it's working, or if I should permanently do bulgarian like you said.

I don't lock myself into a weekly schedule. Instead I just keep a two days on and one day off set up without fail. One of those days is full body lifting and conditioning and the other day is steady state cardio. Then every third day is a rest day and I keep this on repeat. I find that two days between every full body lift/conditioning day is perfect for me. It's also a higher continuous frequency than 3x per week. 👍

Phase 1 of Bulgarian I did SSB (65lbs) back squat. Initial max was 165. Doing this for 18 days in a row I got it up to 205. I did go from 165 to 178lbs which helped but this gives you strength and muscle too! #thankyourickbugez

Wait so you do bulgarian split squats to improve your back squat? So 1-2 exercises isn't enough whyyy is Rick Boogs giving broscience? Jim Stoppani got me on this daily full-body workout and I've put like a decent amount of lean muscle mass. But now because of Rick Boogs I want to just do deads and squats now that I'm done with a 2x shortcut to size 10-week program and just finished the last day of a daily full-body grind for 5 weeks. Boogs gives me the advice I should just do 1-2 exercises and drink just coffee... What in the heck is going on? Does beta-alanine not work or something whyyy is Boogs so confusing? No preworkout just cinnamon milk garlic honey and 2 exercises gets you jacked and stacked?? edit: can't forget the CACAO I've added to my shakes

Amen. I'd forgotten. When I was 17 and again at 19 amd again at 22 I trained for black belt ranks. We ran, did Taekwondo class, and kickboxing training, which included limited calesthentics like push ups and sit ups. I slammed a gallon of milk every training day. Didn't get fat until I quit that intense training. I was strong as hell for 175#. Fuck me, I forgot. I'll get back on it. Train mad, GOMAD. Thanks for the reminder. Oh, Juji sent me. Congrats on 502#.

I train oly lifting, a leg style. When I train strength I use 2 oly movements (comp lift and variation) 2 strength movements usually a squat/pull and a press/pull up and sometimes an accessory movement if I need to work on something specific, and that’s it for weights

It would be good to do Dorain Yates style workout where every exercise is 1-2 warm up sets and only 1 working set with about 4-5 exercises per workout. Workouts last like 30-45 min and you maintain a great amount of intensity and focus on the working sets because theres literally like 4-6 working sets. Its a very great method and speaks to your philosophy.

I think for everyone it is important to track both weight and total volume. And monitor and manage both but use volume to drive growth .

Preach! I tried all kinds of programs and whatever and was stalling all the time. Switched to 2x week full body with a volume and an intensity day and now I'm making gains every week, strength and size wise.

I know this is an old comment but..... does this not go against what eric was saying? He was basicaly saying lift every single day on 1 or 2 exercises...... you post 'PREACH' but then state you train only 2x a week FULL BODY (so you'll obviously have alot of exercises.... going against what eric is saying) Am i missing something here or.......?
