LOL

I don't need to have someone tell me that to know it's true.

That's obviously going to be the case. That's with the idea that their weight training to add mass was in the off season. You're not going to see successful athletes do crazy weight training to gain mass during the season.

No high caliber athlete will be hitting pr's during the season.

But.. they lift, we weren't talking about PRs

Well no fucking shit... if they have the exact same skills , same height then obviously being stronger would be better, but that's a fucking terrible level because athletes aren't really ever the same skill level. Each one will excel at different things but being stronger and faster may make up for lack of skill.

Wut.

My post was saying that every athlete should lift during the season, but it should never be to improve lifts, which ultimately leads to very few cases that an athlete experiences soreness on the level that others were referring to in this thread. Obviously anyone will be a little sore after lifting, but if an athlete is lifting at the level of where they are too sore to train at an optimal level, then they're doing it wrong.

Forget what you know about overtraining.

Gotcha, mb buddy must have misread.



You seem mad bro.

I enjoy smoking a dart whilst on my way to the gym.

one thing I try to tell people who are new is to focus on getting stronger on compounds above all else, and the gains will come.


I say this cause I notice so many people will lift for 6months to a year and still only benching 135 squatting like 225 and dead like 275-315 and wondering why they still aren't getting any real gains.

Ayy

Bench and squat 3x a week

jk bench 4x and squat 1x, deadlift every 3 weeks
