I’m not against intensity as that’s my driving factor but how many people are going to be like you or me? My inspiration on motivating people are what they can do. You only get 3 chances to be as intense as possible with 3x a week training. Think of it as an engineer and build in some factor of safety. Walking is too easy and most will just skip the gym portion and think walking is good enough. We both know losing fat with no muscle looks like shite.

All that said, I agree for a disciplined and already athletic individual what you said is correct.

I’ve said it in the past and I’m still against “science based” workouts. I love Dr Mike but his advice and workouts are for advanced indivuals with discipline and know how to build intensity. I’ll incorporate his ideas into my workouts like making sure to get into the stretched portion and hold for a second. BTW, Dr Mikes general philosophy is in DC training with the calves. Slow eccentric, pause at bottom, athletic concentric.

I want more people to learn to build intensity bc that and the results are what bring people back to the gym.

i agree but just feel like Rip does...that we have a small window for the novice to really stack weight and muscle easy. obviously this guy is in that club.

i just think the gslp aesthetics template with 10 min of hard conditioning and high protein diet as the base of the plan would be best, would add weight to the big lifts quickly but not too fast that its not sustainable for 12 weeks and would add volume to shoulders and arms, through the frequent chins, lateral raises, pushups that he will have enough to make the arms and shoulders look better.

if he truely pushes the lifts even close to failure on the last set, he will make progress big time.
