Okay, welcome to the steroids podcast. I'm here with my friend VADAM. He's a powerlifter and trainer from Russia.

We're going to be talking about some strength things today. One thing that I've noticed from training with a lot of guys is that people get stuck around 185 for 10 reps or so on Best Press i know i know and these are even guys on steroids

but they they get stuck and these are usually guys that are on the lighter end but another

very common sticking point is 275 pounds for reps so 120 kilograms for reps you know we'll get

maybe five reps three reps with this,

and then guys will have a huge problem moving from two and a half plates to three plates.

This area right here, how do you solve that? What works for you with your guys?

Well, you know, first of all, thanks for having me. Well, it's always a pleasure. Can you shake my hands?

Thanks. Appreciate it. Second of all thanks for having me well it's always a pleasure can you shake my hands this thanks appreciate it second of all well it's it's really

good that you raise this topic and for me it kind of well it's a bit astonishing

to hear that somebody can inject test and not press like 185 for for reps but

well let's try to well solve this equation I do think that well

probably if somebody has already like covered the basic needs of like nutrition

vitamins sleep and whatsoever the only reason they cannot progress in any well

strength movement it has to do with the fact that they probably don't know how to do

it and don't practice it this often.

Okay.

So actually, well, earlier today we were talking about, you know, the evidence-based community in, like, the West,

which is all about, which is right now I'm really into, like, full-body training.

And they do actually, like, believe that it that it's like superior to any other kind of training

Which in some context it definitely is but well

The final part is let's just not forget but this is exactly like what you and me did when you stayed like with me in Latv
