PM me or email me. I have a program from these guys I deal with in the US. It’s one of the most “Pracademic” Programs I ever did for building strength. Covers all the bases and is safer than 5x5

Gerry is a bit of a tool and clearly not educated to talk about the nervous system
What is unsafe about 5x5?
Back Squats
And the general lack of promotion of warm Ups and stability and spine development and Decompression with it

I’ve given up back squats after years of doing them and I feel way better. I’m playing footy 3 nights a week and no sign of an injury/soreness/tightness with my back… It’s no coincidence.
Doing quick set of planks - jumping squats and jumping lunges for warm up…all also help.

Oddly I’ve never had an issue with them. I was shown them by a zealous strength coach at 17 and he made sure I did them correctly.
5x5 is great for someone like me who couldn’t give much of a fuck about this shit but wants to stay in good nick. Quick and easy.
Good in cycles if your form is good.
It could be 10 years before you see damage if not.
Variety is critical after a while. Your body will adapt
This sounds interesting. What’s involved?
Lube your thumb and shove it up your hole.

Right… what now?
Squat…and get your thumb right up inside you.
they re savage bad for you, I have given them up aswell, they put savage pressure on the back, leg press is far safer
Is this the panacea?
Should the government introduce compulsory counselling in primary /secondary schools?
4th /5th class, on the even of puberty, seems a good time to introduce it… couple of sessions a year compulsory at second level - more if needed / warning signs there.
Absolutely. So much of mental health management is about education.
Imagine getting kids to open up and see it as normal practice long before the awkward teen years …
It’s a challenge.
I am not sure about compulsory counselling (apologies I scanned your message before replying). I am not sure that a routine of constant counselling should be encouraged. A shit counsellor could do more harm that good.
But compulsory education in relation to the workings of the brain and coping skills should be introduced from as early as possible.
