Thread: General Questions for the SST Braintrust...

I must say even after only 2 days I notice working out with these types of movements I don't feel the same after the gym as if I was doing other workouts... hard to describe but I know I worked my shouders to failure today and couldn't eek out any more reps on the presses but dont feel the same fatigue in the muscles as if I did regular shoulder press, lateral raises and bla bla bla old shoulder routine. Its a different kind of fatigue to me.

Yeah it's a different kind of fatigue. You'll notice your CNS getting taxed. It's a fatigue down to the bone and also not just physical either.

I can see how the mental game comes in bigtime especially when the %'s are up there on week 4 after you think you just pushed yourself on 3 reps then 2 and that last 1 rep set you need to dig deep and also not getting lazy and losing form. Alot of mental in this

Yes, this routine takes a lot of mental fortitude. You have to be really focused when you training. 100% focused. You can't let your mind wonder and also you have to be able to tell yourself and believe that you can perform the numbers you're instructed to. This can be hard at times when you've been doing this for a long period and the numbers seem outrageous. Just remember to trust the program and believe you can lift the weight, not matter how high it may be.

This def isn't a beginner program. It's more like an advanced program. I would say this is even more challenging than intermediate programs I've seen.

These quotes I have included in this thread are from actual members from my board who are training with SST and these arr just some of the questions they asked.

I hope this sheds light on my training program and if you want something to really kick your ass and push you harder than you've been pushed give this a try.

If you don't have the means and coaching to perform the Olympic Classical Lifts (the Clean and the Snatch), than use Clean High Pulls and Snatch High Pulls in their place. It's a safer, easier way to overload the muscle and you still get 85% of the benefit of the 2 classical movements.

If anyone has any questions about SST feel free to ask me via PM or right here.
