    #336 - Accessory Equipment: Matt and Niki's Top Picks Jul 13, 2020
    Show notes

    Matt and Niki discuss the fun stuff today, the "bonus" equipment that you can start to think about getting after you have the basics like a rack, plates, barbell, and platform. Most of this equipment will be appropriate for the intermediate and advanced lifter, where supplemental lifts and accessory work play a significant role in the training program.

    Matt and Niki's equipment picks can be broadly broken into personal attire (like straps and sleeves) and gym equipment (speciality barbells, attachments, etc).

    Personal Attire

    • Wrist wraps - elastic. If you're pressing over 200/ benching 300+, go for the stiffer ones. If you lift well under that, consider more flexible varieties as the stiff wraps can be quite uncomfortable. Note that Rogue wraps run more flexible, so opt for the stiff ones there.
    • Lifting straps - anything leather is nice, and easy on the hands/wrists
    • Knee sleeves - go for 7mm thickness. Matt likes to add some liniment to the inside of his sleeves before squatting — Tiger Balm for warmth, EliteFTS for cooling (depending on weather and temperature in the gym).
    • Slingshot - for accommodating resistance on the bench press. Also useful for older lifters with stiff and painful shoulders that give them trouble on the bench press.
    • Extra horse stall mats — for deficit deadlifts, block pulls, etc.
    • Dip belt — for weighted chins and dips

    Gym Equipment

    • Chin-up bar - if you don't have one on your rack
    • EZ curl bar - for curls, lying triceps extensions, skull crushers, etc.
    • Dip bar
    • Chains — Matt prefers chains because he believes they carry over a little better for the raw lifter compared to bands. The downside is they are large, heavy, and expensive. If you lift at home, he recommends chains. If you lift at a gym, consider bands instead as you can throw them in your gym bag. Matt recommends a pair of the mini bands (red), lights (green), and mediums (purple). Niki recommends you only use these bands for banded lifts. Don't use one for chins and other accessories. The reason, she says, is using one band more often than another will cause the bands to wear unevenly, meaning they will exert uneven tension during your banded barbell lifts — which we don't want!
      • Note: Titan sells 5/8" chain, which is the thickness you want. Marine stores usually carry it. If you don't have access to it, you can use 3/8" chain but you'll need double the amount. Matt recommends about 100lbs of chain.
    • Small set of dumbbells - for rolling triceps extensions, conditioning, high rep presses, etc.
    • Couple of kettlebells - for conditioning
    • Lat pulldown — Matt likes the Titan stack. Rogue has a rack attachment as well.
    • Sturdy box — for box squats. Preferably an adjustable box with adjustable height. Matt like the ones from NY Barbells and EliteFTS. He also has one from Rogue, but be warned, it's super heavy!
    • Duffalo/buffalo or safety squat bar — bar with a curve that allows lifters with very stiff shoulders to get into a low bar position. The safety squat bar is a straight bar, but with handles mounted perpendicularly so that the lifter can grip the bar in front of the shoulders rather than behind.
    • Prowler, rower, or echo bike — for conditioning. Take your pick!
    #334 - Technique Problems? Change Your Cues Jul 06, 2020
    Show notes

    BLOC Coaches Matt Reynolds and Niki Sims discuss how they've been cueing their clients over the last couple years, in particular how their cues tend to change during the course of a set.

    Many lifters performing a heavy set of five will struggle with technique on the fourth and fifth reps, due to weakness in certain parts of the movement, physical and mental fatigue, or both. The fourth and fifth reps are often the most mentally taxing, meaning lifters have very limited ability to process cues at the very moment they need cues the most!

    Matt and Niki discuss the cues they have found helpful for each of the big lifts, and how those cues evolve as a lifter progresses through a heavy set.

    #332 - Hypertrophy Without High Reps Jun 29, 2020
    Show notes

    When it's time to get jacked, and feel "da pump," there are a handful of exercises that Matt and Niki continually go back to for their simplicity and effectiveness. Throughout their years of coaching, they have also started to break with the traditional bodybuilding approach of high reps = hypertrophy, preferring instead to accumulate volume and time under tension via increased frequency (performing accessory lifts more often throughout the training week) and lower rep sets.

    #327 - Cookin' Out with Cameron Cox: Tips for Better BBQ Jun 15, 2020

    BLOC coach and pit master (he claims he's more of a staff sergeant than pit master) Cameron Cox joins the show to talk about one of his favorite subjects, cookouts. Cameron is a native South Carolianian and avid cook, having spent several years cooking professionally before becoming a barbell coach. Cameron shares a few of his favorite recipes, his grilling and smoking weapons of choice, and educates on the distinct regional flavors of Carolina barbecue.

    #324 - The Problem with Percentage-Based Programs Jun 08, 2020
    Show notes

    Matt, Andrew, and Niki continue their roundtable discussions in Matt's library and whiskey sanctuary (or is it a whiskey sanctuary with a library?), today addressing the concept of percentage-based programs.

    The majority of templates and books about programming, if not all, describe programs in terms of percentages -- percentages of a 1RM, a 5RM, or perhaps a previous working load. From an author's standpoint, you almost have to write about programming in this manner. You can't use real weight on the bar, because the application of a program for a 600lbs squatter will look much different than a 350lbs squatter, for instance. Examples of real lifters are helpful, but you couldn't possibly put enough examples in a book to cover every lifter that might attempt your program.

    Unfortunately, many lifters pick up templates, see the percentages, and base their expectations for progress on those numbers. If they see a 1x5 in the program at 90% of their 1RM, they expect to be able to do it because the template said so. In reality, all programs require some modification and adjustment by the lifter or coach to fit their specific goals, strength level, level of advancement, mental fortitude, and, to an extent, how that lifter feels on any given day. A good coach can watch how a lifter is responding to a program and make adjustments on the fly, knowing when to push a lifter past their comfort zone but also when to pull back and keep them excited to train.

    #321 - Even Coaches Need Coaches with Niki Sims and Andrew Jackson Jun 01, 2020
    Show notes

    Matt's on holiday celebrating his 20th anniversary, so Barbell Logic staff coaches Niki Sims and Andrew Jackson met via Zoom to talk about the role coaching has played in their development as both lifters and coaches.

    Both Andew and Niki have lifted for years now, and are advanced lifters, yet they still see value in regular coaching. While they may not need daily form reviews for each of their lifts, they appreciate the accountability that regular check-ins with a coach offers, as well as the unbiased third-party perspective on their programming. When attempting to program for yourself, it's tempting to let small deviations in technique slide, or perhaps to drop a set or two during a hard volume day. Over time these deviations add up, and detract from an advanced lifter's ability to make progress.

    As a competitive lifter, Niki enjoys the attention her coach pays to both her mental and physical wellbeing during the peaking phase as a meet draws near. She likes a coach whose attention to programming and her wellbeing matches her own level of care, as she puts it.

    You can find Niki and Andrew at Barbell Logic Online Coaching, as well as on Instagram:
