    Once again the attack on the fact i read a lot on the internet, you have no real substance to dispute what i've said. Yes plenty of people make great success squatting once a week, i already said that. A very successful beginner program is 2x a week squatting and deadlifting once as well as benching twice and OHP once (jason blahas 5x5, 3 days a week).

    I agree i can be arrogant but being attacked and shunned doesn't open my eyes so to speak, when anyone is attacked they become defensive, i'm no different, but i'm also not wrong.

    Also, injury occurs when form breakdown occurs, which happens when you fatigue. So in some ways squatting 3x a week with less volume may be safer than one high volume day.

    This is the second time you have been told about giving advice. In future if you give advice tell the OP were you got this advice from google, books or experience. Don't take this as an attack please just in future remember you are sometimes giving advice to people who are far bigger, better informed and have vast more experience than you and when you start telling someone stuff in the fashion you do from copying and pasting stuff off the net it can look rather irresponsible to the trained eye and you should be expressing that this advice is what you have read or been told.

    That is making the assumption that it's from google or an 'article', even though articles are just another experienced persons opinion, similarly as valuable as yours or anyone elses. Everything i've said about squatting 3x a week is common knowledge and practice from experienced powerlifters, which is where the discussion of this thread drifted to. Docd who you dislike because he has up to date scientific knowledge which unfortunately is written down for others to learn also squats 3x a week and has had great success with it.

    Just because people are bigger and can lift more than me doesn't mean i can't help them, people who are just not genetically gifted and strong who have to fight tooth and nail for every pound on the bar make the best coaches and we have no room for error and need to perfect and learn as much as possible. For example my gym partner deadlifts 500lbs with only a small amount of time training longer than me and turns to me for advice and form tips etc.

    LOL I don't think you fully understand what I was trying to explain. We are only trying to help you it wasn't an attack.
    Just try and explain where the advice your giving is coming from whether study Google or experience.
