Discussing different locations of attendees (e.g., France, Australia, Germany, USA, Italy).
Homework reminder: designing a workout plan.
Guest Appearances
Mention of Guido who is present despite being introverted.
Homework Discussion
Encouragement for students to share their designs or any design-related questions.
Mention of upcoming seminars in Europe: SG2 in October, SFB in December, SFL in April.
Question and Answer Session
Carlo's Programming Issues
Difficulty with programming calculations, particularly with volume selection and intensity zones.
Emphasis on understanding total volume and share among intensity zones.
Hugo's Questions
Additional questions linked with Carlo's concerns about calculations and programming.
Calculation Demonstration
Practical demonstration of how to calculate percentages and shares among lifts using the session's variables.
Using Excel for better visualization of calculations.
Planning and Programming Strategies
Encouragement to practice creating workout plans and discussing hatch numbers involved.
Explanation of how to adjust total lifts for easy calculations.
Comparison between different calculation methods and their effectiveness.
Workshop Concepts
Concepts of pre-fatigue and post-fatigue work for lagging muscles introduced.
Explanation of cluster sets in heavy lifts, emphasizing rest periods.
Strength vs Hypertrophy
Discussion about how bodybuilders focus on myofibril hypertrophy while powerlifters focus on building strength.
Relationship between Bill Strong and PL Strong
Insights into building muscle mass sustainably without losing strength.
Clarification on how the two systems can complement each other.
Unique Training Concepts
Prefatigue/Postfatigue Techniques: Used for lagging muscles.
Cluster Sets: Designed to build nervous system conditioning for heavier lifts without excess fatigue.
Loaded Stretching: Holding positions under tension to aid hypertrophy.
Personal Experiences
Presenters share personal anecdotes about how they manage their training using the discussed methods and how beneficial these adaptations have been in achieving their goals.
Group Training Methods
Group training using both Bill Strong and PL Strong principles to accommodate different lift goals.
Importance of focusing on technique and proper movement patterns to maximize efficiency.
Future Plans and Resources
Discussion about the availability of spreadsheets and tools to assist in creating effective workout plans.
Introduction of a new triple tier training model focused on progressive overload and utilizing various intensities effectively within workout cycles.
Conclusion
Closing remarks on upcoming sessions and Q&A opportunities.
Reminder to discuss further in the next session with friends and fellow participants.
