In this video:

We discuss a strength training concept that I don't see discussed very often - the Fitness Fatigue Model.

Years ago, I was training exactly how you do right now. I followed generic intermediate training programs like Wendler 5/3/1, Starting Strength, Texas Method and similar.

I did a bunch of hard, slow, grindy reps near failure in the gym.. before long I was failing reps and feeling beat up all of the time.

I wasted years not getting any stronger and guessing my way through my training.

I didn't really understand the concept of getting stronger and had no clear path to increase my squat, bench press and deadlift strength.

Until I understood this concept.

I wanted to share this with you, in the hopes that it helps you to get far stronger than me, in half the time it took me, learning from my mistakes.

If you have any questions, leave them in the comment section of this video.

Thank you so much for watching & I hope this video helped you.
