I'm glad that after trashing both TM and, to a much greater extent, 5/3/1 that you actually pointed to programs an intermediate should consider. I quickly reviewed
your program and I really wish you had %'s. I hate RPE training, I'm not a touchy-feely person and I have no idea how I feel on any given day and whether I have a rep in the tank or two or three. Once you go heavy enough (as you probably well know), it all feels heavy. In my short time training, I've always been impressed with what I've been able to achieve. I started out wanted to squat 225, now I do almost double that for 5RM. I've come in on days where I thought I'm just not up for this... and after doing the exercise I'm thinking wow, that was easy.
