Leo Costa Training methods

Does anyone have any info on this? I keep hearing it and it sounds like techniques I already use but want to get a good idea of what it is and learn more about it.
 
I’ve got the book. I like what Phil Hernon did later on which took some of the ideas and changed it to make it more sustainable.
Scott Stevenson’s fortitude is also a huge improvement over BBB.

honestly I think you’d get more out of dc training as the book isn’t put together very well
 
Breezed thru that quick. Agree with a lot of it. Probably a great program for a lot of people, like following any program. But if you’re advanced you’re probably executing a lot of those principles without the rigidity described which is where I tend to not like plans.

That’s why I like Jordan Peters training principles e book. It’s really just a guide that allows you customize as needed.
 
I also don’t think training needs drastic changes that often, but I may be on the minority side in that argument.
I agree with you. 90% of my training has been DC, except for the last 6 months when I got JPs ebook which wasn’t a huge change, I’m still pretty much doing a modified DC 2 way split.
I think adding weight and reps and changing exercises as i stall is change enough.
I’ve had people argue with me but I don’t think bodybuilding training needs to be separated into strength blocks and hypertrophy blocks. The biggest guys never did that. Everything is so complicated and complex now because that’s what sells.
its hard to sell a program that says pick a few exercises per body part and train to failure on a couple sets each exercise, try to get as strong as possible in the given rep ranges and don’t change them until you stall 2 weeks in a row.

Hi NLM36,

I bought Training principles by JP and now I'm at 3rd weeks of phase1, the only change that I done at 4 training days/week (maybe I have made a mistake?).
It's harder than hell but I like it.
Thank you for the right input!!!

It’s a badass program. The only thing I would say is to do it as written. Don’t add exercises, sets, or days. More isn’t better, better is better.
You’re not growing in the gym and with 3 days you’ll be able to extend your blast longer before having to deload. It’ll really destroy you as your weights start to climb.

Yes I agree, I'm going to stay with program (phase1 3 days/week), than I'm moving to phase 2 with PPL 4 days.
Sets, reps, exercise and rest are on point.
