Am I going nuts or has the Barbell Medicine “programming podcast” I was listening to with my oats this morning disappeared from YouTube?
You are correct it’s gone ! That’s just no good I was pumped to get home and watch it .
I didnt even see it Wtf?
I’m.listening to it right now.
Where did you find it? url?
I’m subscribed to it on podcast addict.
here is the rss feed http://feeds.soundcloud.com/users/soundcloud:users:284506821/sounds.rss
It’s back up now. Had some issues to fix.
It was the best one yet!
I now realize I’m not a weak old man, I’m just really efficient at adapting to stress! 
I wish I heard it a long time ago. Looking forward to parts 2-200.
Lol is this supposed to be the “less salty” version?
This podcast was great. I am going to have to re-listen to it (as I have done some other BBM podcasts).
Unfortunately I’m still weak after listening to this podcast. But the good news is I now know there’s something I can do about that.
This podcast, and BBM in general (especially after the split), has been so refreshing after 6 months of LP, 3.5 of them coached on SSOC, with minimal upper body strength gains and explanations that I’m simply a “hard gainer” with “average” (or worse) “genetics.”
I always refused to really believe that. My theory was that the year of brosplits on machines and dumbbells with 2 sets in the 5-10 rep range had desensitized my upper body to the stress of LP. And even though my LP numbers weren’t great, MAYBE, just MAYBE that wouldn’t determine the rest of my lifting future. But it’s hard to hold on to that while your expert coach tells you you’re a hardgainer that will be lucky to ever Press 185 because of your genetics.
I really wish this split had happened 6 months ago. I’d probably be twice as strong 
Better late than never though.

The programming podcast (or video) was great. I too think the split from SS is ultimately going to be seen as a huge net positive for BBM. I’ve learned so much more about programming and how to train since the split. I think the drama of it all sort of caused me to look into what all the fuss was about and of course, I’ve decided that BBM’s philosophy makes much more sense. I really liked how Austin stressed that more stress doesn’t equal more hard/heavy lifting, it just means more work at the 65-80% range. Through my recent research into this I’ve seen other respected powerlifting coaches who promote 3-6 reps of 3-6 sets at RPE 6-7. It’s like learning about a whole new world where people get strong without eating like a slob and grinding themselves to dust. I’m looking forward to the other episodes of this programming series. Great stuff.
For someone who beats himself up constantly, Part 2 of the programming podcast offers tremendously valuable insight that it probably isn’t your fault if your strength didn’t increase as quickly as some other novices or what the book predicts. Austin mentioned that this dogmatic application of “if your weight (or lift) has increased only xx after xx weeks, YNDTP” puts implicit blame on the individual, but the real reason could very well be that this individual is not “male enough”, or just detrained as a previously experienced lifter. There are various factors determining the level of progress one can make on LP after “the first 3 questions”, but the shame was real when I realized that I didn’t gain weight fast enough and that my squat didn’t even hit 300. I have done many resets during LP to correct forms and tried to squeeze out the program as long as possible to get as strong as possible. I didn’t believe in special snowflakes and didn’t want to admit to my limitations in weight lifting and blamed myself for not working hard enough. Even though I have gotten off LP and started a variation of HLM routine, this podcast has really made me let go of the self-blame, which only adds unnecessary or bad stress. A positive and stoic attitude is a better approach to deal with sticking points. I can’t wait for the next episode to learn more specific knowledge about how to program my own training!

Great. Being non responsive to training is an actual thing. Something else to nocebo myself about.
