Jason Blaha says you should be able to do 1000lb after 1 yr training

[SofaKingMad]

Ignoring misc E-statting, that if you can't do this in <6months you may as not well enter a gym ever again. Does anybody else find this ridiculous?

Most people in the gym won't reach that, those that do it will take a handful of years. Yet Blaha is saying a complete noob on his program, after one year should be squatting 5x5 315lb+ & other advanced lifts.

EDIT**
Video of him justifying it

[KandyRedSS]

Blahahaha

What a ****

[gonnamakeitg]

lol @ that pathetic ***got jason blaha looks like he hasnt touched a weight a day in his life and giving advice fukkin lmao

[yondy12]

90% of lifters aren't even in the 1000 lb club

3 plate bench 3 plate squat 4 plate deadlift

or 2 plate bench 4 plate squate 4 plate deadlift

[seembrah]

not sure if srs

[datderecreatine]

If you can't fight you shouldn't be allowed to roam freely without supervisor.

[ffguitarist14]

I don't think it's that far off. I was pretty close to that after a year starting at 155lbs but I ate a chit ton and ran 5x5 from the start.


If you're starting from 125-135lbs that'd be a taller task. I think 900 after a year is reasonable

[Comstarr]

2 years and I'm at 3 plate bench, 3.5 plate squat, and 5 plate deadlift.

I started at 95lb bench, couldn't even do bar squats - would lose balance and fall over, could barely get 1 for 135 deadlift - had to do supermans to get my lower back strong enough to do 1 rep with 1 plate at correct form.

[Ayz33]

will have that in a year easy..even after a month+ off from wrist injury

[Chesso95]

sounds reasonable

a natty wont make any progress after a year anyway

[.aeterna]

i think its a viable argument...if you eat in a huge caloric surplus, rest well, and run a good program consistently. aesthetics will go out the window though

[goeasyimnew]

phuckin moron

show me your credentials *******, please

other than mentioning his lacklustre genetics and that being justification for him using tech, i don't know what he has actually done that's relevant.

[Poyzer]

He's right. There's a reason why most people at the gym don't reach it and it's because they don't know wtf they are doing.

inb4 ****storm of weaklings.

[Maxjabbour]

If I had dieted and trained properly from the moment I started bodybuilding, I know for sure that I would've reached a 1000lb total within 3/4 of a year.

[syth1230]

only works if you assume a calorie surplus and strength program

dfw calorie deficit

[napa1m]

As far as I am concerned Jason Blaha is a ******* and should quit making videos right now

[vikingbro]

I had been a subscriber for like one year when i unsubbed, he has become such annoying arrogant bitch who always wants to start **** and always tried to say controversial things. He is also very dogmatic, he never lets on that what he says can be biased or not correct.

So i stick to lyle mcdonald and his forum for pretty much all advice related to lifting. He migth sound like a douche when your hear about his outbursts on the internet, but he presents information in a very balanced way in his articles, and he covers most topics.

[SofaKingMad]

This seems to be the case. I got fairly close ~100lb off by putting in a lot of monitoring but put on serious BF like a bag of jelly & beer-gut. Had to lose 15lb.

I never ever, came close to squatting 5x5 315lb though & squats are my best. The folks I see doing multiple sets of 315lb in my gym enjoy cycling their bikes.

[obesepieeater]

lmfao is there any proof that this ******* has a 4+ plate on any lift?

yes it's been posted.

I think Jason is dead on but as others have pointed out...he's dead on if progressing in those lifts is your primary goal. If your goal is the aesthetic look 9/10 men go for, you will require a caloric deficit. Going from the sofa to 1K in a year on a deficit is incredibly difficult if not impossible.

for me it was either dreamer bulk mode with 1000lbs total or lean mode with 800lbs total.

I choose the latter, ill get my 1000lbs total 6-12 months later but i prefer staying lean.

Why would you start lifting on a deficit? Unless you are overweight, in which case you are probably not shooting for a 1K powerlifting total at the same time.

Jason blaha...........

Why don't you like him? IMO he's an exceptionally knowledgeable guy but I could be wrong.

I know he says politically incorrect sh** and also accurate sh** about a mod here (layne norton) that got him sued. Is that what you base your dislike of him on, or is it something more substantial?

Note that I'm not some fanboy w/ a man crush, I'd love to here about why he sucks if he in fact really does.

[vikingbro]

or 2 plate bench 4 plate squate 4 plate deadlift

it just another one of his attempts to be controversial. Either way this is completly wrong. You cant put a "golden " standard on what numbers people are suppose to reach. For some people it can be no problem at all reaching these numbers, for others its what you will peak at if you even reach them. Just ignore blaha, focus on your goals do your best and be happy wherever you end up. The majorit of lifters can get aestetich even if you cant get super strong in the big three.

[SofaKingMad]

Jason blaha...........

Honored to have a mod take notice & descend to post in my thread brah.

[areyoucereal]

You should be able to do 1000lbs after 3 months assuming you have a good routine and proper diet

[obesepieeater]

where exatly? ive looked all through his channel and cant find anything. he should have atleast a 6/5/4 if he is saying you can get a 4/3/2 in a year. i guarantee he doesnt, just another ****talking ugly ******* who never made it

I've seen him do it on a vid somewhere online. I forget where. Sorry.

for me it was either dreamer bulk mode with 1000lbs total or lean mode with 800lbs total.

I choose the latter, ill get my 1000lbs total 6-12 months later but i prefer staying lean.

For me it was nearly identical, I got closer to 850 though but it took I think 14 months.

Why would you start lifting on a deficit? Unless you are overweight, in which case you are probably not shooting for a 1K powerlifting total at the same time.

I think most people who start out from the sofa are overweight. I know I was.

[Oakbearer]

only if they are running a strength program for a year

[Jayczzz]

I'm at around 600lbs overall after 1y and a half training and I don't specifically train strength (afraid of squatting heavy because of ****ed up knee, don't deadlift every week, my bench is strong though).
If I really wanted to hit 1000lbs while running a pure strength program I don't think it would take me that long, and I'm 5'6''.

This is a very weird approach to a topic.

There should be universally accepted number goals that can be sought after by the vast majority of healthy trainees. It's beyond obvious that some people will have various limitations that will not allow them to achieve these numbers.

But it's not unscientific or illogical to throw a number out and say "this is a realistic but difficult ambition for x amount of time for a normal healthy male." It's comparable to variance in caloric recommendations.

[obesepieeater]

how many accounts are you going to make?

just one.

So in other words you don't have anything substantial to add, you just want to mock some dude who destroyed the image of layne w/ an unfunny gif?

Pretty typical bb.com mod.
