Easily the worst advice on this thread.
I think that the general thinking around here is that intermediate programing should be a close extension of novice programming, which is something I disagree with entirely. I think "simple" intermediate programs tend to work poorly overall. I also am not sure where it is marketed as inter/advanced, as it's literally designed to be ran right after SSLP. I would run the first week as planned coming off SSLP.
I disagree. You just have to gauge how hard the sets feel. It takes no extra time, minimal extra effort, and you do it anyway whether you have a pre-planned linear scale to rate your effort levels on anyway.I like the variations in this program, but it takes so much experience to figure out RPE's even with the basic lifts... doing it with all of these other lifts is nearly impossible within a single or possibly multiple cycles.
They're meant for different populations.Jordan, any reason to run "The Bridge" over the aforementioned program? They seem pretty similar besides the single and exercise selection (which can be tweaked).
