I know that everybody always wants to get stronger. Especially us dudes. It’s just part of our nature.

But at what point does “strong” become “strong enough”?

Case in point – my good buddy trains high school and middle school athletes in his gym. And he’s turned some of them into absolute monsters. One kid, in particular, can squat in the 450 lbs range, and he weighs around 175. That’s over 2.5x bodyweight.

Now, just how much stronger does this kid have to get? To start putting a lot more weight on the bar, he’s gonna have to start getting bigger & heavier, which for the sports he plays, and at his height, could end up hindering him.

So, Andy & I have talked about whether or not he needs to get too much stronger, and we’re both of the same mind – no. Could he get stronger? Sure. But is it all that necessary? Not really.

He *could*, however, always get more powerful.

I mean, he’s already super-powerful as it is (you should see this kid jump!), but he’s got more capability. So, Andy & I are of the mind that he’s better off maintaining the strength he has and converting as much of it to power as possible. I mean, could you imagine not only squatting 450 lbs (at 175, remember), but doing it so hard and fast that you wanna come up on your toes when you do it?

Oh yeah. That’s awesome. Pure power and athleticism, right there.

But, what if he coulda been working on that kinda strength & power at the same time?

Well, that is the basis behind the set/rep scheme that I center my new program, “Body Armor”, around.

(And w/the volume I put in the program, it’s KICKASS for putting lean, hard, muscle on.)
