Nothing against C&P, but when I do interviews and ask questions like, "Have you ever heard of..." they usually sound like I'm proselytizing.

I don't want Tom to feel like he, or his story isn't important as it stands.

I got ya, I'm just curious if he was messing with those guys and it just didn't come across via text or what.

Not really. Just anything about his training and maybe if he specifically trains for getting a big pull, or is that just natural for him? haha

Thanks IM. I got some info on his training. He did mentioned that he made little progress with conventional methods.

ask him what his squat day/bench day looks like

Tom did mention to me is that one of the ways he conditioned himself to a higher volume was to start small and build up.

So my interpretation was something like...

If your squat is 500 and you want to squat 5 times per week, don't start with 400+ squat sessions 5 times per week. Start, say, with 270-300 pounds and slowly build up the weight, allowing your CNS to adapt.
