I came to the Lord asking for his blessings as a single parent because raising my son (Joel) was an act of courage despite all the challenges. And the Lord answered my prayers with a benefiting income of $31,000 every month. To God be the glory. Joel is in school and life's been fair lately.
It is the digital market. That's been the secret to this wealth transfer. A lot of folks in the US amd abroad are getting so much from it, God has been good to my household Thank you Jesus
It's about data. Once you've "tried" many many times, you get a feel for when you can and when you cant. But you have to gut it out a few times, no question. Just set up for safety and take a calculated risk. Rip is right, you will surprise yourself.
RPE is a very strange tool, in theory it should be used by intermediate or advanced athletes in a program with progressive overload and even sets to failure from time to time to be sure it is not excessively subjective, I cannot distinguish if I still have one repetition left or if I have already reached failure until I try it, and it has no value for a beginner, the one-day RPE 0 is easy the next time the beginner tries it, it is supposed to have value for intermediate or advanced athletes, but there are many better ways to periodize.
Done heavy 3 sets of 5 squats 2 days ago. 4th rep done on the third set. Everything in ur mind and body is telling you this is going to suck and feel like shit the 5th rep. But then you do it. Best thing ever. Its a mental exercise as well The fatigue is high from this training but as long as you get plenty sleep and food you can recover.
Nearly every training session, for at least one of my squat sets = the 4th rep is brutal, but the 5th not as bad. What? Huh? I haven't figured out why.
Isn't RPE meant to manage intensity instead of volume? The way I understand RPE is that it helps intermediate and advanced lifters program an appropriate level of intensity that accounts for daily fluctuations in performance output while ALSO achieving 100% of the volume they intended to. I don't know of anyone who uses RPE to modulate volume based on how they feel. For example, you would never program 5 sets of 5 reps @ RPE 8 and then only do 3 reps on the last set just because it felt like RPE 8. If that happens, that means you loaded too much weight on the bar for the last set. Instead you choose a weight that lets you achieve the volume that you've programmed. RPE just gives you a variable target to shoot for to get the intensity you need to generate adaptation.
Barbell Medicine programming often uses RPE for setting weights, but they usually use bar speed as an indicator of what the RPE should be vs how you feel.
@@ieschwoch yeah, I often hear them talk about bar speed correlating with RPE. Pretty much everything I've learned about how to use RPE in programming is from them. Maybe other people use it differently.
I disagree with this. 0:55 From experience you can tell when you’re at rep 3 or 4 if you can do it or not. Most people are training recreational. What’s the point of potentially injuring yourself when you can put the weight away and try again next time. What’s the hurry
I feel like it depends heavily on the lift. With the bench press, I usually know when I’m within a rep of failure. Whereas with the squat, all my failures have been unexpected, and whenever I think I’m going to fail the set, I don’t.
I'm two months into NLP and last week I'm just exhausted, deadlift 135kg squat 107,5kg press 55kg ... But my recovery isn't the greatest I'm afraid of stopping now and be detrained but unable to continue linear progression... my squat is just so slowing down... Everything started to hurt
Vaya con Dios - very typical of that program. Go way down in intensity for a while, like down to 70% of that and rather do more sets and reps for a while until it heals. Biggest mistake lifters usually do in your position is to be reluctant to reduce the weight on the bar enough. Your body will be able to lift all that with no pain usually, but you need to let it heal first. Work up your workcapacity with much lighter weights and vary with other excercises that don't hurt in the meantime.
@@Alexander_Tronstad Yes, I'm probably guilty of exactly this. I progressed quite quickly for a while, and even worked through some pain instead of taking a week off. If you've only been lifting about 1 year - such as myself, there is a fear of becoming detrained and never being able to hit those numbers you did before taking the time off/reducing the load. I did drop my squat by 10kg yesterday for the reasons you describe but I can't help feeling that I didn't do any work because it's not a progression to the previous weight.
@@Alexander_TronstadHow long did it take you to squat 500 using the “stop training & just waste months of time when it gets hard” method? I bet starting strength works better.
100% I think my easiest set is usually the 3rd of 5 sets. RPE keeps a lot of people from growing and understanding they are more capable than they realize. It robs the joy of accomplishment.
Yeah same for me. That first set the mind-nervous system is quite aware yet of the load. Second working set feels like everything is more aware/online/ready
