2022-08-1844 minBaker Barbell Podcast10 Tips for Shorter WorkoutsIt's a common complaint for lifters becoming more and more advanced -- my workouts are taking too long! For lifters coming out of a Starting Strength style LP, for instance, and starting the Texas Method or some other popular 5x5 programs, they soon realize that doing five sets of five squats across takes a LONG time, and can be quite fatiguing too. And let's be honest, most of us have lives with higher priorities than training. So training needs to fit in a reasonable time frame, and leave us with enough energy to get on with the rest of...
2022-08-0142 minBaker Barbell PodcastLow Volume Bodybuilding? Dante Trudel's "Dog Crap" Training MethodAndy is running solo today, and sharing one of his favorite methods for building muscle in short, focused, and intense workouts. Many people, especially in the barbell trainign and powerlifting world, immediately associate bodybuilding with light weights, high rep sets and a lot of them. Andy has spoken in previous episodes about why bodybuilding requires progressive overload, via reps or weight, and why it doesn't even need to be high volume. A big influence on Andy's own programming methodology is Dante Trudel, a master bodybuilding coach who preached this approach as far back as the 1990's with his "Dog...
2022-07-211h 20Baker Barbell PodcastA Simple Approach to Advanced Strength ProgrammingAndy and Dan return to programming, today tackling the big picture behind advanced programming. Essentially, advanced programming picks up when linear progress has ended -- the novice sets daily, then biweekly intensity PR's (the weight on the bar), the intermediate sets weekly PR's. The advanced lifter hopefully still sets PR's on a regular basis, albeit on a longer timeline, but even then intensity PR's are not a sure thing every training cycle. As Andy points out, PR's for the advanced lifter come in many forms -- volume PR's, PR's for new rep ranges, intensity and v...

Whether you're a professional trainer or coach, or exploring the idea, you'll need a good grasp of marketing fundamentals. Andy walks through some mistakes he made early on in his career, as well as mistakes he sees other coaches and gym owners make consistently, and some strategies to avoid them. These include identifying your target clientele, following the three "M's" of marketing, and creating organized processes for marketing and sales. Interesting in consulting with Andy on your g...
2022-07-071h 31Baker Barbell PodcastTraining for "General Fitness:" Going Beyond the Strength ProgramNot everyone wants to be a powerlifter, or a strength athlete, or, frankly, even to lift heavy weights past a certain point. If that's you, or someone you're working with, then it's important to understand that traditional strength programs like the Novice Linear Progression probably aren't a good fit. That doesn't mean that this population, the so-called "general fitness" population, can't get stronger and build a better physique. It just means their training needs to be structured in a way that hits on a wide variety of physical adapations -- strength, conditioning, hypertrophy, etc -- while staying fun.
2022-06-301h 47Baker Barbell PodcastTraining During a Cut, Cheat Meals, Fasted Cardio, and More!Andy and Dan discuss how to organize your program during a cut. Whether you have a lot of weight to lose or just a little body fat to trim off, you will be operating in a caloric deficit, meaning your recovery resources won't be optimal for strength training. Consequently you have to throw out the idea of making linear strength gains (unless you are a rank novice) and instead focus on preserving as much muscle mass as possible. Strength gains are still possible, but they are no longer the focus during a cut. Instead, the s...

2022-06-2112 minBaker Barbell PodcastCardio for Fat Loss, Sports, and the Game of LifeAndy and Dan discuss a perenially popular topic for lifters and trainees everywhere -- how do I do cardio? When, how much, what kind... it's a question that comes up for coaches all the time, and it's worth exploring the various ways it can be approached. As Andy points out, people train for a variety of reasons, but only a small percentage of the trainees at any given gym are serious strength athletes or sport athletes. Most people are training to be generally healthy, so a good coach should incorporate some amount of conditioning into his programs. Of course...
2022-06-161h 33Baker Barbell PodcastHow Do You Measure Growth? Powerbuilding & the Importance of PR'sThe goal of physique training, or hypertrophy training, is pretty simple -- get bigger. Increase the size of the muscle bellies. Measuring progress is a trickier proposition, however. Muscle growth takes time, and you cannot expect to see the measuring tape on your biceps going up on a weekly, or even monthly basis. So how DO you measure progress and know if you are getting anywhere? Similar to strength training, setting PR's consistently over time is an excellent predictor of progress. Just like driving up your accessory lifts over time can lead to increases in y...
2022-06-091h 15Baker Barbell PodcastWhat Makes A Good Hypertrophy Exercise? The Criteria for GrowthAnd and Dan continue their exploration of the fundamentals of physique training and muscle growth, discussing the types of exercises best suited to stimulate hypertrophy. The mindset of the lifter is equally important. A lifter that can develop a mind-muscle connection between the movement his is executing and the muscle mass being stimulated will grow more than the lifter just going through the motions. As Andy points out, it's not just about accumulating sets and reps. It's about accumulating stress, and how the lifter executes the set has a big impact on how much stress i...

Many lifters complete a novice linear progression and some form of early intermediate strength training (such as Texas Method or HLM) only to find themselves lost as to what to do next. Others are simply burnt out by all the compond lifting and are looking to bring some fun back into their training. Andy lays out a road map for learnign how to train specifcally for hypertrophy. A...

2022-05-191h 29Baker Barbell PodcastThink Like a Bodybuilder: Accessory Lifts, Mind-Muscle Connection, and Effective RepsCoach Andy and Coach Dan discuss the proper use of accessory lifts for the post-novice lifter, and how they can be an important tool for building muscle mass. Many lifters use accessories improperly, however, by either failing to progressively overload them over time or not performing them in a manner that produces hypertophy stimulus. As Andy points out, all lifters can learn a lot about hypertrophy by thinking like bodybuilders and obtaining a strong mind-muscle connection, an intuitive understanding of how to stimulate the target muscle using appropriate ROM, tension, and angles. ...
2022-05-121h 14Baker Barbell PodcastTraining Splits and the Magic of the Four-Day SplitAndy and Dan continue their outline of intermediate programming with an exploration of the various training splits lifters can use to organize their training after the novice phase. While Andy advocates a three-day full body split for novice lifters, he also encourages most lifters who can to adopt a four-day upper/lower split when they tranisiton into the intermediate phase. The reasons for this are many, but one big advantage of the four-day split is the ability to accumulate more volume in a single workout while keeping the workouts fairly short. However, there are many w...
2022-05-051h 10Baker Barbell PodcastThe Wide, Wide World of Intermediate TrainingMuch ink has been spilled about the so-called novice linear progression, the basic starter program for new lifters outlined in Mark Rippetoe's Starting Strength Basic Barbell Training 3rd Edition as well Practical Programming for Strength Training (co-written by Andy Baker). And as Dan points out, the novice linear progression contains everything you really need to know about programming -- a series of submaximal yet challenging workouts (progressive overload) accumulated over time will yield lasting strength adaptations. The same is true of intermediate programming, however the landscape looks much different. There is a brief initial phase s...

2022-04-211h 07Baker Barbell PodcastBarbell Training for Athletes Pt. 2: The Realities of SportAndy and Dan continue their mini-series on strength training for competitive athletes with a discussion about the realities and challenges of dealing with the sport world. Athletes, especially student athletes, have many competing priorities for their attention, training time, and recovery resources. Thus coaches often have to make compromises with their programming to fit within the athlete's demanding schedule, carefully select loads to minimize fatigue around games, meets, and competitions, and keep things simple and flexible enough that the athlete can see measurable results without needing to fully understand the method. Andy Baker Blog: www.A...
2022-04-141h 10Baker Barbell PodcastBarbell Training for AthletesAndy and Dan discuss the role of barbell training for athletes in sports ranging from power-based contact sports (football, hockey) to agility and high kill sports (baseball, soccer, golf). As detailed in Starting Strength: Basic Barbell Training by Mark Rippetoe, strength is the basis of all human performance. Thus, getting an athlete stronger will have a positive impact, usually a big impact, on their performance. Nevertheless, the athlete is NOT a powerlifter or weightlifter. Their sport doesn't consist of lifting barbells. Therefore, their training probably won't look much like the powerlifter's training beyond the novice phase of p...
2022-04-0759 minBaker Barbell PodcastConjugate Programming: Dynamic Effort DayThe other unique element of the conjugate method is the "Dynamic Effort" day, essentially a volume day used to accumulate a bunch of reps in a short period of time. Uniquely, in the conjugate method the dynamic effort day involves a primary lift performed explosively, with short rest times between sets (usually only 60-90s). Weights are typically light, between 60-70% of 1RM for a given movement. The idea behind dynamic effort is that because the reps are done with maximum speed, the workout constitutes a sufficient stress for driving muscle growth, without necessarily loading t...
2022-03-3159 minBaker Barbell PodcastConjugate Programming: Max Effort DayAndy and Dan dive deep into "max effort" day, a signature element of conjugate programming. In the conjugate system, max effort day represents the intensity, or heavy, stimulus common to all periodized programs. Uniquely though, max effort day requires the lifter to work up to a one-rep max (although it could be a double or triple) on a given upper or lower body exercise each week. The weight is not prescribed, but selected by the lifter based on his ability on that day. This ensures a very high level of force output during the workout, b...
2022-03-241h 17Baker Barbell PodcastLessons from Westside Barbell: Concurrent and Conjugate Training for the Advancing AthleteAs 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 t...
2022-03-171h 04Baker Barbell PodcastVariety Is the Spice of TrainingAndy and Dan continue their discussion of the most common reasons athletes get stuck in their training, including nutritional extremes (the chronically underfed and overfed trainee), constant program hopping, and never switching up your training approach. Andy argues that incorporating variety in your programming over time, especially in volume and intensity, is the key to unlocking gains after years of training.
