Howdy y'all,
I wanted to share a video that I found very good. I've seen a lot of topics surrounding this, and this "answers" a lot of those questions, even indirectly. It is primarily related to barbell training, but its concepts apply beyond just that. He starts explaining why there isn't "one" way to train, what the most important things are (progression), and his preferred method of organization (base cycles and peaking cycles).
What's also interesting is how this approach is virtually identical to training running and cycling, including how most people get caught up in the sexy stuff that most belongs in peak cycles. I'm a huge believer in base/peak phases, not only for strength training (barbells, kettlebells) but also for running. These ideas aren't unique to Bromley, and there's a least quite a few similarities to material StrongFirst puts out - I might be overgeneralizing, but the idea of building a base with AGT and then having brief peaks into glycolytic training as prep seems virtually identical.
Anyways, I wanted to share because its a video that puts into words a lot of what I've learned over the past several years and thought others might benefit from it as well. It isn't my video, and I have no affiliation with Bromley. I hope some of y'all benefit from the video.

P.S. Sorry for the click-bait thread title. I'm not too clever but it seemed a good idea before the caffeine hits...
