You CAN incorporate rpe and %. And it works. More better if you do things other than get fat and lift barbells.

[f4thpathway]

% is very good for tracking the degrees of fatigue and other influences on training. For planning future cycles and stuff.

Can you guys argue about something less boring than RPE?

Yep, screw all the RTS nonsense. I'm sticking with the best side. Thanks for posting the videos.

Yes it does! :-) I will say though, his style of programming won't work for everyone. Basically they go heavy every other week in the squat, and have it periodized over a certain number of weeks. If you have the genetics to make that work, then you should do it. I have always been a fan of doing the least complex/lowest amount of volume needed to make progress. For average folks, they won't be able to run something like that long term. They can for a while, but when it dries up, it is time to move on.

On a side note, SBD cheater sleeves FTW! This is why I got them too. You can be a raw purist and still cheat. :-)

Thanks for posting the lifts. They are solid and legit. Nice squat depth and pause on the bench too.
