Shame you wrek me at everything else
You could also easily match me at rows, you just might have to take a day off deadlifting

when gym reopens after christmas period i will be changing programming straight away. want more volume tbh. for sq/p/dead, will be doing the following
Monday - volume
Wednesday - light
Friday - PR*
*for the most part probably not all time PRs, just improvements on last 6 months ish
PRs to hit first week:
Squat 75kgx7
Bench 57.5kgx6
Dead 125kgx12

planning to do de franco's agile 8 and limber 11 on off days before work. will see how it goes, just did it now and felt 'good' on all my gammy joints/knotty mooscles

do you mean you struggle with the stretches themselves or you're tight too? :P

I can do the stretches, just they aren't as easy as i'd like. Like the cross leg one or the last one with one leg behind and one infront.
And also, v cute with that tsr meet up.
Isn't the point of agile 8/limber 11 to do it before lower body sessions so everything is all ready to go?
Personally, I'd do stuff like it (quick foam roll, mostly dynamic, short static stretches) then if you want to do more on off days, I'd so rolling targeting particular problem areas and longer static stretching.

could be what it was created for, I'm not certain, but I'm already stretched (no pun intended) for time in my sessions and want to add stretching in off days. it's just somewhere to start with that really, I'm sure I'll adjust it if i keep it up. I think it's a decent mix of static/dynamic stretching, it does have a bit of foam rolling too but iirc there is basically zero evidence that rolling actually does anything except feel like it's doing something!

Am I the only one who doesn't care about the numbers?
I just put like 5 cups of protein powder, then just lift weights without checking the numbers.
Hopefully i'm not the only one.

just to clarify I mean simple 6 and limber 11. limber 11 is just updated agile 8 I think

well to get bigger/stronger you need to lift more in some capacity, as long as you do that I guess you don't need to track any more closely. i find it psychologically easier and more satisfying because it provides short term goals etc

I'd not heard of simple 6, but yeah 11 is an update of 8 and I'm almost certain they are both meant as a warm up but CBA going to watch De Franco's original videos to see what he says
I think on off days, doing whatever is much better than nothing and it matters less. But I think that is kind of question begging if you're skimping on warm up. Maybe it's cause I'm old and broken but I'd always spend limited time on a warm up and drop something off the end if I had to
I don't do well with science and evidence but I swear by foam rolling, well more attacking sore bits with a ball than the flopping around on a bit of foam most people do. So all I've got is anecdote so it could just be I'm odd.
I'm a lot more flexible/mobile than most people and the two things I think are key is the skill of stretching and foam rolling. I stretch a lot less than folk I train with probably think I do but I've got my rolling ball out most of the time whilst I'm resting between sets. I've got a back injury and when it flares up rolling gets rid of a lot of the pain. I didn't really expect it to work so well when my physio told me a lot of what I need to do is keep on top of rolling sore points, it seems too simple, but it does work for me.

It is meant as a warm-up (saw the video recently), however see no reason why it can't help overall flexibility.

Yeah I've read one of his articles again (ceebs with whole vid again) and one of the references it as a warm up, but then he talks about doing it on off days. In the other article he just presents it as an 'in the middle' solution to flexibility that's somewhere between 'i just wanna lift' and hours stretching erryday.
Regardless I agree with unistudent - whether it's meant as a warm up or not, I'm certain it will still be a good place to start with improving my mobility! I do warm up but not very thoroughly. I do some dynamic back/shoulder stuff, then when I start benching I do static/dynamic lower body stuff between my sets to prep for squats. And obvs I do warm up sets.
Wrt to foam rolling, I'll take the help whether it's placebo or not haha!. Regardless of the literature on foam rolling specifically, there's evidence that massage helps and rolling isn't fundamentally different so there probably is something to it. I just don't worship it like some people do is all! I've heard various theories from whether you should roll 'over' tight spots or just find them, hold the pressure and try to relax. I try to do some and some

I don't disagree. My point was more if you were doing it as a warm up then there might be more benefit in doing something else on off days to get a fuller range of mobility work in since it is designed to be more or less a minimum.
I probably borderline worship rolling, though I mostly don't roll on foam anymore, but the difference it has made to my back is insane, like not far off quality of life changing.
I used to always roll. Then my physio's approach to my back was to stick her elbow on sore bits, press half her weight into it and tell me to relax. I suspect there's a more appropriate technique depending on what you can feel when you massage so when rolling I think it makes sense just to do a bit of both.
