ANYTHING can be over done and set back gains.
It wasn't a little over the top- it was completely blown out of proportion because it was like saying all cars have wheels.
Well no *kitten* sherlock.
ANY program done with to much of X and not enough rest will impede your gains.0 -
They have a pretty low standard of Elite imo.
If its anything like the chart that was was going around before, their definition of elite was "strong enough to compete", and if the other stat that was on this thread is anything to go by, that's possibly in the top 1% of the planet strength-wise.0 -

Sure, but it wasn't about "ANY program done with to much of X" - the point was specifically about deadlifting heavy - a lot of elite athletes' coaches wont have them in their program because the effects on the cns mess up the athletes recovery to the point of making them inefficient to include. The same wouldn't apply to the other lifts. Beyond that, lots of exaggeration.

Yup - I wasn't making a blanket statement - there will always be some folks who buck trends - but not everyone uses his methods. He keeps the DLs heavy & the volumes very low I think.0 -
Sorry, saw the title and this is the first thing that came to mind. XD

Yep. 3x3 with 85-90% of 1RM (Plus plyo work). No warm up sets. 3x week... Extremely low volume. Basically follows Pavel and Dan John's rule of ten.0 -
Pavel's Russian Bear programme is volume deadlifting and pressing 3 x week. That's touted as a hypertrophy programme, isn't it?
Oh, and congrats to Hugh. Nice job!
hmm, which definition of bear is ol' Pav using?0 -

Like when you do a snatch: you basically wrap your fingers around the bar and your thumb.0 -

Yeah, I will stick w/ straps then
That grip feels very awkward to me.
I don't think I do any exercises w/ that grip, my thumb always lays across the bar.
Dumbbells I do wrap around though.0 -

No warm up sets? Sounds interesting. Sounds risky @ 85-90%. How does it work (Im assuming they do something to prep for it)?0
