What’s up guys, figured I throw up a more centralized Q&A thread. Feel free to ask questions about the programs on classrooms, other content, programming, whatever you need help with.

What’s been on rotation for everyone’s music while at the gym? Maybe we can compile and make a YOKED playlist. I’ve been jamming One of Nine, Suffering Dawn, Mizmor as of late.

Finished up the article on some notable supporting muscle groups that you all should try to include in your training. It’s a lot but there’s still a lot of nuance that I didn’t really touch on so please ask questions if you have them. Hope you guys like it, I’ll try to write up some other content on further amendments to the meat and potatoes programming structure or something else.

SUGGESTIONS FOR CLASSROOMS ? I HAVE ALOT I CAN KEEP POSTING BUT FEEL FREE TO COMMENT AND ASK FOR SPECIFICS HERE

Figured I’d add some further info and context on how I apply Meat and Potatoes approach to my programming structure. I have trained 4x a week, bench twice, squat once, deadlift once per week, but the overall selection criteria are all common between the movement focus. Example template: 1. Main movement variation 2. Supplement 3. Accessory 1 OR second supplement (if necessary) 4. Accessory 2 5. Accessory 3 6. Burnout or superset if necessary (could be movement 5) Example bench day I’m currently using: 1. Block press 2. Band resisted weighted dip 3. Y-raises or rear delt flies (3x20) 4. Chest supported row (DB, machine, or seal row, etc) 5. pushup pyramid A word on variations and selection criteria, movements are solely chosen based on weaknesses you observe in the standard/raw compound. For instance, if I’m failing or the rep is getting tough off the chest on my standard bench, that signals a need to work on my back strength to have a more powerful stretch reflex. In a world of “optimal science based” information, I will tell you there is NO SUCH THING as a “bad” movement. There is merely using a movement at the wrong time which at worst means you don’t get as much carryover to address your weakness. Load selection is KEY, as in you GRADUALLY increase weight and decrease your volume as your body adapts to the new movement pattern. You SHOULD fuck around with weird variations that see or even invent, and think might be useful. Don’t be a glass cannon gents. P.S you should all work your neck as well in a safe manner, strong neck and strong back pays innumerable dividends to overall strength. Again you have to be careful with neck work, best to use a harness and start very conservative (even bodyweight to start). Do not do the neck rolls like Mike Tyson, your neck is pretty important so don’t mess it up LOL. Ask questions below if you’re confused.
