Summary

John and Tex take a question from an athlete wondering how classic body weight multipliers add up when following Power Athlete training. Does 2.5x body weight deadlift really mean that much if you can't walk right for a week? How about the double body weight squat if you're on the wrong side of 40? Don't worry Power Athlete Nation, this podcast is the Way.

Hey everyone. Thanks for tuning into Power Athlete Radio featuring The Crew.

0:11.7

We're a former pro football player and a D3 All-Star use strength and conditioning as an excuse to talk about anything but.

0:18.7

Now here's John and Tex.

0:25.9

Hey, Power Athlete Nation.

0:28.6

Welcome to another episode of the premier podcast of Strength Conditioning where we melt faces, destroy souls, and answer some dope questions.

0:32.3

Destroy souls?

0:33.2

Yeah, we just rip them straight out and tear them in half, just like that old Soul Reaver game.

1:13.3

Was that for regular Nintendo? I don't remember that one. You don't remember Grandma's boy? Oh, yeah. Yeah, I remember where she goes and kills those dirty meth heads? And then she's like ripping their souls out. So, no, but there was a game called Soul Reaver where you used to be able to rip souls out. So that's what I always think about Power Oute Radio. We melt faces. We rip out souls. We hopefully don't. I thought we're saving people, not just destroying them. Okay. Well, maybe we have a different perspective on this thing. But what we do have and what's got a dope perspective is we have this thing called the hotline. That's right. So Power Athlete Radio has a hotline. We've asked you, the audience,

1:18.4

to call and leave us questions. So we have things to answer. So if you have a question,

1:30.9

we have answers. And you can reach that hotline at 929-464-464-0. 929-ing-ing-0. So that's the hotline. It's always open. It's always hot. And we are ready.

1:34.0

So, Mr. McQuilkin, do we have a question?

1:36.4

We received a text message.

1:42.0

This is a mouthful. So I understand why they texted it versus calling it in.

1:43.3

I'm in.

2:01.9

All right. Ready? Let's do it. It's a fun one. All right. Here we go. You should like do it like an English voice being like, oh, hello. I'm Harry Hept in Stuhl. I'm Basil 40. Anyway, I'll work on that. I want to destroy or I don't want to lose any listeners here, John.

2:03.3

But here's the text. As far as baselines go, are there certain bodyweight multipliers we should be striving for with regards to strength work?

2:10.9

For example, random multipliers input, squat two times body weight for X amount of reps, deadlift, 2.5 times body weight

2:20.3

for set number reps, bench 1.5, press 1, etc. Same for any sprinting or running or salt bike

2:28.0

work, any benchmarks or baselines we should be striving for to time or hit calorie-wise.

2:34.1

I am 6'170 pounds on hand. we should be striving for to time or hit calorie-wise.

2:38.5

I am 6 foot 170 pounds on hammer.
