Rob breaks down the 357 strength progression, a training method that combines strength training with short work capacity efforts. He explains its origins, design, and practical applications, as well as the results of a study comparing it to other training methods. The discussion highlights the effectiveness of 357 in improving both strength and endurance, making it suitable for various athletes. Check MTI's 357 Strength Training Plan Takeaways 357 is a unique strength progression that combines strength training with work capacity. The method was influenced by various coaching philosophies, including those from Louis Simmons and Greg Glassman. The structure of 357 includes a 1RM lift, followed by a percentage-based lift, and a work capacity event. The work capacity events are designed to enhance hormonal response and improve overall fitness. A study showed that 357 matched strength gains of traditional methods while improving endurance. The program is designed to be fun and engaging for athletes. Weekly training can be structured to include total, lower, and upper body lifts. The ideal cycle duration for strength emphasis is around four to five weeks. 357 is suitable for athletes looking to improve both strength and work capacity. The program has remained consistent and effective over the years. ----more---- Mountain Tactical Institute Home Check out the MTI Athlete Team Apply to be a Paid MTI Athlete MTI's Daily Programming Streams

On today's episode of The Path podcast it's a one-on-one with me where I talk about the principle that I've coined as the "20% Principle." This inspiration struck me as I recently revisited my training logs from a significant chapter in my life - in the summer between high school and college, I had the privilege of training at the world-renowned West Side Barbell under the mentorship of the legendary Louis Simmons. While this principle can be applied across various facets of life, our primary focus will be on its physical application to promote long-term health, longevity, and achieving peak performance.Timestamps00:00 Intro02:05 Mike's Log Of The Strongest Gym In The World03:39 The 20% Principle07:05 The Ying And Yang ConceptsMike Salemiwww.Mikesalemi.ioInstagram: @Mike.Salemi

As they advance through the early stages of intermediate training, many lifters opt to use a block-style training program. In block training, training is organized into discrete phases or blocks, during which the lifter focuses on a single adaptation at a time. Typically blocks start with a volume or accumulation phase aimed at stimulating hypertrophy and building work capacity with lighter weigths and higher rep ranges, followed by a transmutation block of increasing intensity, and finally a peaking or realization block in which volume drops substantially and the lifter tapers toward heavy singles in the competition lifts. It's a tried and true method, but there are a number of problems.   The athletes at Westside Barbell, led by Louis Simmons, have developed alternative training methods which can also work quite well, while avoiding the problems of block periodization. Andy and Dan break down the basic concepts of Westside's conjugate system, the concurrent model of training, and the pros and cons of these models for different types of lifters and athletes.   Andy Baker Blog: www.AndyBaker.com IG: @bakerbarbell Owner of Kingwood Strength & Conditioning Co-author of Practical Programming for Strength Training Co-author of The Barbell Prescription: Strength Training for Life After 40   Dan Flanick IG: @coachdanflanick Gym: https://www.skaneatelesstrength.com

Mark aka "Smelly" aka "The People's Coach" aka "Meathead Millionaire" is a world-record holding powerlifter with some outrageous lifts like a 1,086lb squat, 854lb bench, and 766lb deadlift. He credits much of his lifting success to his two older brothers, Louis Simmons from the one and only Westside Barbell, and other legends in the strength world like Ed Coan and Mike O'Hearn. Mark opened his own gym called Super Training Gym after moving his young family to northern California, where he has trained ever since. Mark leveraged his success in the powerlifting world to launch The Sling Shot, which is now an absolute powerhouse in the strength world, producing products that serve powerlifters. Aside from running Super Training Gym and Sling Shot, he hosts Mark Bell's Power Project Podcast, which is a Top 50 health and fitness podcast, and now sells his own supplement line which can be found on his website. Mark is a guy who loves to help other people, and if you follow his content on social media, you'll quickly see how true that statement is and how good he is at doing it. He's a one of a kind, down to earth, hard working dude. But above it all he's an incredible man, husband, and father, and I am truly honored to have had the opportunity to host this conversation with a guy that I am such a big fan of. Discussion Points Why Mark is hellbent on serving people Anxiety and depression - why does everyone feel this way? The toxicity of social media Only boring people can be bored "If you feel lonely when you're by yourself, then maybe you're not in good company... you have to work on yourself." Controlling what you can control Doing what is reasonable 10 minute walks Delayed gratification for exponential dopamine Any real progress takes a long time Giving yourself credit for the little things The parallel of dedication in life vs fitness How you feel along the way How Mark started SlingShot Don't be so hard headed Best piece of marriage advice Why communication is so important in marriage Don't try to fix your spouse The values Mark focuses on teaching his kids Chasing success and losing sight of priorities What Mark wants his legacy to be with his kids Links http://www.markbellslingshot.com (www.markbellslingshot.com) @marksmellybell - IG, TikTok, Twitter

Keith Norris, who first appeared on the podcast  is one of those few lucky souls who has been able to completely transition out of corporate America and dive headlong into his passion for bettering lives by teaching the art and science of physical culture. He not only “walks the walk” on a day-to-day basis, but his economic well-being hinges on his precepts of “proper exercise, stellar diet and lifestyle, and intelligent “hacks” and supplementation” forming the bedrock foundation for a long, healthy and prosperous life. The very essence of ™ is rooted in the idea of putting theory to practice; an idea that Keith is heavily invested in, having been blogging about these issues since early 2007. And his “30-thousand-foot view” for the Paleo f(x)™ enterprise serves as the movement’s guiding, north star. And with a belief that intelligent “hacks” can help bridge the gap between our elegant evolutionary programming and sub-par environmental surroundings, Keith is continually ferreting out and backing the most promising of technological enhancements. As a founding partner of ID Life, Keith is helping to usher-in 21st century, optimal supplement dosing. It might be said that Keith lives by the credo written by the Greek poet and soldier, Archilochus, over 2,600 years ago – “We do not rise to the level of our expectations. We fall to the level of our training”. And his vision for Paleo f(x)™ is that of a battle-tested warrior, preserving the right of everyone to fully, actively and enthusiastically engage in the human experience. During our discussion, you'll discover: -Keith's experiences at Burning Man... "Like a completely different world once your plane lands in Reno" Incredible works of art, all of which are burned to the ground eventually Reflective of life: everything is temporal -What to expect at the upcoming ... The theme is "Nurture Destiny" Same overall concept as the past, but an elevated vibe You don't want to miss the charity party Guest speakers include: Ben Greenfield, Danny Vitalis, Chris Kresser, Stephen Gundry and many more -How Keith got into the world of Health and Fitness...

One question received for the Q&A episodes deserved it's own episode. A listener asked about Matt's experience with Westside Barbell, which he recounts in this episode.   Long before his Starting Strength days, Matt was a skinny kid reading articles by Dave Tate and Louis Simmons on testosterone.net (now T-Nation). He read about Chuck Vogelpohl, Kenny Patterson, and others who inspired him to become a powerlifter himself. After totaling some respectable numbers, he embarked on a voyage to Westside Barbell to train with Louie and his heroes, alongside his friends Dave and Kyle Gulledge (who deadlifted an incredible 830lbs at age 19). There they experienced the intense training environment of Westside, which consisted of many brutally strong and morally questionable men (several of whom were felons, which, naturally, added to the hardcore aspect of the organization). Nevertheless they were absolutely focused on their goal: to become as strong as humanly possible. To that end, training revolved around very heavy training, usually around single lift, for as much volume as they could handle.    Watch the Westside vs The World documentary trailer to get a glimpse of the gym, the culture, and some of the characters that made it tick. Apparently the documentary has been stuck in the post-production process and has not been released as the airing of this episode, but we hope it will see a proper release soon.   Use the discount code LOGIC to save 10% off any order of Iron Joe.   Save 5% off any order at Dominion Belts with the discount code fahveoff.   Connect With Matt Matt on Instagram Starting Strength Online Coaching — Matt’s website Matt on Facebook Matt on Twitter Connect With Scott Scott on Instagram Silver Strength – Scott’s website Scott on Facebook Scott on Twitter Connect With the Show Barbell Logic on Twitter Barbell Logic on Instagram The Website Barbell Logic on Facebook barbelllogicpodcast@gmail.com

First episode back in a while and i'm glad it was with owner of JTRAIN Athletic Performance on Sydney's northern beaches - James Brodie. James has been head of S&C at the Manly Marlins for a number of years and helps athletes and general population clients from all walks of life. His facility is first class and one of the best i've stepped foot in. We chat about when he was juggling 4 jobs to pursue his passion in the fitness industry, his time spent with Louis Simmons at Westside Barbell, creating a winning culture and what it's like helping rugby players who were told they'd never play again due to injury comeback to reach the highest level. 

This is a must listen for all coaches. I discuss with Derek the difference in training athletes and general population, how to structure sessions to give the client what they actually need vs what they think they need, what the great coaches like Charles Poliquin and Louis Simmons all have in common, and how stress could be stopping you or your clients from getting results. Enjoy! 

It's simple Force = Mass x Acceleration - this week on Under The Bar we talk to FMA Founder and strength training geek Mark Buckley. Mark discusses in detail the science behind strength training, programming considerations and his recent trip to spend time with Mr Westside Barbell, Louis Simmons!
