He still trains his squat very light (for him anyways)

Elaborate?

Evis said:
Well, I dont have all the details for his current training, but he rarely goes above 300 kilos raw. Its probably a case of him becoming very strong despite of his training weights and not because of them. That being said his strength seems to improve quickly when the training weights are systematically increased gradually.

"... improves when the weights are systematically increased", isn't this the foundation of which every strength program is based upon?

Evis said:
I mean the maxes his programs are based on. Overall intensity.

Don't forget the links I can't find much regarding his training approach at all, you're my saving grace!

Evis said:
Im sorry but this information is not available publicly on the internet. About him training light though. It is all about holding back and staying injury free, while training heavy enough to make gains. For Carl this for some reason is fairly light, atleast in the squat, as he is a true genetic freak.

Would be awesome to see the two of them going head to head single ply.
