A bit of Q and A

Just some stuff I got asked on a forum about my blog. I'm far from an expert and this blog is just for some extra motivation for myself and to show what way I'm going about things at the moment. I'm not trying to be any sort of authority on the subject. I'm actually really hoping to learn a lot from recommendations people can give me on this blog. As an aside, starting this blog up has really got me thinking about my training and planning ahead

Q: Do you find the Zercher deads help improve your regular DL?

A: Haven't been doing them very long but I hope they do! lol. It's also hard to tell because my deadlift working weight is so far off my projected max so in reality they should all feel easy. I'm just using them as something slightly different in my program plus they are pretty functional

Q: Video stuff is ace man! Something I can't find myself when reading through blogs is advice for Intermediate lifters. EliteFTS has some stuff but their all lifting 2/3 times the numbers I can throw up. Did you train similar to what you do now as you did back then?

A: At the moment I'm probably making the biggest changes to my programming that I ever have. All my training until very recently had been straight weight linear programming. When I was talking to Pavel Tsatsouline he told me that's all I need, so it definitely does work. I'm just adding more variation to try and make things a little more interesting for myself and also to make me more versatile as a lifter. I'm going to spend a little less time in the equipment, and address my mobility, flexibility and conditioning more this time round. It's still very early days in this program and I'm coming off a 2 month break of zero training so I'm hoping there are plenty of gains to be made if I work it smart. Everything is very very submaximal at the moment

Thanks for reading
