So I think it's pretty intuitive the transition from novice to intermediate programming,

0:15.0

just manipulating one variable at a time.

0:19.0

But I'm not sure how that same logic applies to transitioning

0:23.9

to more advanced programming. Exactly the same, actually. Not everybody will go through this

0:30.5

exact progression, but it will look very similar for everyone. And here's what we note. Like,

0:37.1

I would challenge you to find somebody who wouldn't go through this,

0:40.9

who wouldn't make tremendous progress going through disprogression.

0:44.0

LP three days a week, which will eventually make

0:49.8

minimum effective dose kind of single pieces of complexity changes or change a single

0:53.8

variable until you get to a heavy light medium type of training which Texas

0:59.0

method also is right you with me after that lecture so Texas method heavy light

1:03.9

medium or the same style of program just a little bit different but as far as

1:07.8

the style it's the same sort of thing where you make in progress once a week where you're making that same three days a week full body

1:13.7

training and you're making progress every two weeks right you're hitting new

1:18.1

PRs every other week and then you're hitting PRs every third week and eventually

1:22.7

you go to the point where you split to a four-day split program and you're

1:26.3

probably going two upper days two lower body days in in a four-day split program, and you're probably going two upper days,

1:30.7

two lower-body days in a four-day split,

1:31.9

which may still continue,

1:34.9

sort of a Texas method, heavy-light medium sort of layout.

1:39.4

And then at some point, you can't drive the intensity up enough anymore,

1:41.2

and you have to start adding in volume, which you can do via both reps and sets. Most of us, I think most of us would agree that adding more sets to get your volume up will carry over better for strength.
