#84 - Why You Need to Understand Advanced Programming
from Weights and Plates Podcast
One of the interesting consequences of the success of the Starting Strength methodology, and the growth in popularity of strength training in general, is that genetically average people are lifting weights and sticking with their program for multiple years. No longer are only gym rats and serious athletes dedicating themselves to years of sustained progress in the weight room -- now there are 55 year old moms with 5+ years of barbell training experience under their belts. Most of these people are advanced lifters, even though they aren't competitive athletes. And advanced lifters have different programming needs than novices and early intermediates, especially when they aren't athletically gifted or possessed of a high training drive. It's important, therefore, to understand what advanced training looks like, not just for very strong, competitive lifters, but for average folks with more pedestrian numbers but similar long recovery windows.
