every set is AMRAP?

>>41714596
sauce?

Do as many reps per rep

Get the lower body engaged always

Get the upper body flexin'

as many reps as you can on every rep every time

do it big

>>41714596
>Is this NOT what most guys do?
it's what I do, but it's not going to push your strength up quickly but it'll make you bigger

I know it's an instant flameup, but I question the concept of strength in LP "4 big lifts" programs. Yes, I know guys who are 1/2/3/4 and beyond are capable of doing something a lot of bodybuilders cannot do. But you can take both the bodybuilder and the stronglifter and they can both be shit at doing things like moving heavy boxes up and down 10 flights of stairs. Functional strength is trained by strongmen who lift oddly-shaped weight and carry it dynamically. But the big four movements are limited in application, so stronglifters end up being merely conditioned for those exercises, similar to someone who trained for a marathon, or better someone who can did couch-to-100-pushups. Like, yeah, you can do pushups, but you don't really put on muscle, and you don't really get strong except at the ability to do a lot of pushups. The stronglifter can 1/2/3/4 for 5x5, and it is good up to a point that you can move a higher weight for more reps, which is why it's still solid for novices. Someone else can do more reps with a lighter load. Someone else can actually move those big boxes around on a moving truck.

I'd rather move a weight for 5x5, and work up to moving it 5x12, mastering it by shortening my rest periods, slowing down the eccentric portion, getting more explosive on the concentric, even do some 1.5 reps. Strength is really in the core and the small stabilizers, and the joints.

either way you're going to get strong enough for everyday tasks and helping others move houses, getting stronger than that is just ego
there are bodybuilders that cannot squat 140 kg and have been lifting for many years and a newb can train to lift that within a year, will you ever need to squat that weight? probably not

and yeah I know people here can't agree that training for hypertrophy and strength are different and that strength = size which is complete bullshit if you've lifted over a year

>>41714620
beat me to it you sucker

>>41714609
If you have the upper body then you don't have the lower body if you have the upper body you have a problem

I guess what I was trying to say is that stronglifters think they have general strength, but it's not really the case. There are guys who can squat 300lbs but can't do pistol squats. Each exercises has to be conditioned. Meanwhile, the strongest people are the ones who don't work out at all, but have difficult jobs, working 10 hours a day, basically performing strongman movements like farmers walks and turkish getups as part of their jobs. But they probably can't do 1/2/3/4, they also probably can't do 100 pushups.

And this is why I don't care about strength training as a number one goal.

I don't believe the majority of this board should, but they do for reasons

>>41714910
a pistol squat has more to do with mobility especially ankle and balance than strength
stop spouting bullshit the strongest people surley are not the ones not working out or do you see construction workers suddenly win the olympics or strong man events?
