Hey Jeff, is there any work that shows that continuously utilizing muscle confusion is less effective? You mentioned that some people have seemingly random routines. If they were to experience slow progress, could that be attributed to either improper exercise selection or difficulty tracking the weights used (and thereby failing to overload? I agree that a lot of people seem to use a fairly fixed routine and progressively overload but I thought that was due to simplicity of programming and ease of tracking progress. So do you think its possible, with diligence in tracking, to progressively overload while utilizing muscle confusion or do you think that is unrealistic or physically inefficient?

your slightly broader outlook on training is refreshing to hear. too often people get caught up being far too anal with their training protocols when in reality if you have a rough structure & you push yourself with each session you will progress. keep the quality content coming. I like how you spoke about a free training week also, Ive definitely done this in the past. kinda reminds you what you love about training especially deep into a dieting phase when you can get tunnel vision.

Jeff, I can't say how much I genuinely appreciate your videos. The quality of your content (not talking audio/video) but information you put out in every single video is very easy to understand even for individuals who don't have science backgrounds. Your viewpoint on hypertrophy and program deviation and the analogy about obsessive macro-trackers having anxiety at restaurants really hit home. You're a solid dude, keep up the good work and keep up with the learning and research.

Its one of the many reasons I always train to failure keeping my workouts intense and within an hour (at present 16 sets) as no matter what the excercise selection it is easier to progress as you are giving your all on ever set no matter the weight or excercise so even if changing things up and confusing the muscle you are still progressing as opposed to getting caught in that grey area

I agree with a lot of this. What I like to do is follow some kind of basic structure for a split (like PPL or U/L) and just have a handful of exercises for each body part that I just keep track of for a set/rep scheme. Allows for a lot more freedom and doesnt leave you standing around for 30 minutes waiting for the bench

Bench plateau is the one so many of my friends smash into. Personally I have found the best way to break bench plateaus is to focus on increasing concentric speed and decreasing eccentric speed while working on pausing longer at the bottom. Progressive overload does not care all the much what you are progressing.

Great video Jeff How would you select your loads, Id imagine this would be difficult given that the exercise selection is spontaneous. Is it an educated guess based on other lifts in previous workouts, would you complete acclimation sets for all exercises to get an idea of load this way?

Hey Jeff, I was wondering what you think about AlphaDestiny's videos on the rack pull and how he claims they are more effective than anything else for building the upper back. His theory behind it is that an overload in the stretch position induces more growth than an overload on contraction.

Hey Jeff, what's your thoughts on BF% in the off season? I keep hovering around 14-15%. My biggest issue is I'll start to feel fat or bloated one day, and immediately want to cut. Any insight? I know it's a bit of a broad question. Thanks man
