Real talk right now.

I dunno what it is wrong with me, but I literally have no desire to be lifting heavy right now. I have no control over the weight at all, and every compound exercise I do is painful because of how crappy my form is.

I think I am gonna do a hypertrophy phase for a while to hopefully build something that resembles in some way a "mind-body" connection. Hopefully I will be taking 1 step back to take 2 steps forward.

Arians question in the PL section made me want to illustrate a point, and I am too lazy to be bothered making new accounts on bb.com. I will continue logging here until my ban is over because IDGAF to be honest and I waste too much time on bb.com.

To answer his question, those 2 theories are 2 absolutely incomplete and worthless theories about adaption to training.

The fitness fatigue theory states IMMEDIATELY after a workout you have attained an instant increase in fitness, and that fitness is outweighed by a temporary increase in fatigue. Once fatigue decreases to baseline levels, you can display that increase in fitness. This theory is retarded because hypertrophy does not occur immediately after a workout, and the main determinant of strength is cross sectional muscle area.

The second theory states that you actually decrease in fitness following an above threshold stimulus, and after a certain period of time, you "supercompensate" and reach above baseline fitness. this theory is retarded too because it doesn't adhere to the meaning of fitness, rather it adheres to the meaning of preparedness.

Having read a large chunk of Strength and Practice and supertraining, I can honestly say that it was undoubtedly on of the most worthless useless uses of my time imaginable. Almost all of the information in that textbook contradicts itself, and a lot of the time his conclusions don't even make sense given his supporting evidence.

Siff presents a good body of evidence for the notion of hyperplasia in muscle tissue, yet he somehow concludes based on the information that there are 2 different types of hypertrophy, sarcoplasmic and myofibrillar. His supporting evidence for these hypertrophies are somehow hyperplasia studies, and a stupid rat study that doesn't even support his hypothesis.

Other contradictions in his textbooks include wasting 60 pages on the force velocity curve and related subjects, just to ultimately conclude that in vivo the force velocity curve doesn't abide by any of the principals he laid forward.

His book is full of ridiculous in vitro and hypothetical idealogy that he full on admits never holds up in vivo. Dont bother with supertraining, and dont bother with the idealogy of Science and Practice of strength training. focus on learning the more objective things in that book, like the function of motor units.

strong calf day, strong rage

I really liked the science and practice... What books do you think are better?

I felt like the info in the science and practice was presented pretty fairly. In regards to the super compensation and the fitness theory, I thought he said they are the two most popular theories, not his

These are some of the most prestigous guys in the strength training world and they have extensive education. I think you are being a little quick to saying that it was all a waste of time

Most of strength and practice was quite good, I agree. The ideological bullcrap was what was a waste of time.

Supertraining has just been a flat out waste though. Everything in that book is complete and total garbage.

I haven't come across a better book than science and practice.

I like elements of starting strength, but Ripptoe frames his form as being the only possible way to go. He also ignores the fact that basic physics doesn't always apply to real life. Some lifters excel in positions that seem to defy logic (take Hornstras close grip bench).

I would really like to find a most hollistic and less stuck in its own way book that provides information based on practical experience rather than physics and rat studies. There isnt a lot of science (at least in english) in powerlifting that is really all that relevent. most research is done on relatively untrained athletes.

i dunno, you tell me

bulk to 200 with bodybuilding, cut on 3x a week pure with pure power movements?

i would probably get weaker. I would need to get super duper fat (like 250+) to gain strength while cutting.
