Reactive Training Systems

Darius · Darius

Hi Mike, Got your manual and read it through once. I've got the basics down but am still trying to grasp chapters 8 onwards and the spreadsheets. My basic question is can you train 3 days a week with success? I saw on page 49 you mentioned it briefly under "Reduced frequency, Increased Fatigue&quo...

Volume block Week 1 - Squat/lockout bench Day 1. box squat - st weight 2. 5 board press - st weight Week 2 - Squat/lockout bench day 1. box squat - rev...

Since I have never used a SSB I am unsure of how they feel....or what they help strengthen. For those that use the SSB, why do you use it...and what weakness does it correct??? There is one for sale....dont know if I should buy it

One of the things I like to do is find several training methods that are known to produce solid results and compare them looking for patterns. The RPE chart in reactive training is often the central unit in many programs whether it is obvious to the inventor or not. I ran across a sheiko-reactive tra...

So I have moved my squat stance out quite a bit...for the better. But I think this has impacted my Deadlift. when my deadlift and squat stance were the same, I was quite strong and fast off the floor, Now I struggle to break the weight off the floor. Should I add in squats in a closer stance as an Accessory? O...

How many weeks roughly do you stay in the volume phase? ... intensity phase? And do you deload for a week after each phase or in the middle of a phase? Thanks man.

Hey Mike, I'm new around here, was shown the site by a friend of mine. I really like what you've got going here with the Reactive system. It's actually following a lot of thoughts I've had and used w/ some clients of mine (though I've mainly dealt with women bodybuilders/figure competitors, but hey we s...

Hello Mike, I read the second chapter of your manual on the RTS system and I had a quick question. Since the system does not base the training cycles on percentage, is it safe to say that your training log, and a very honest rating of your reps and sets, are the point of reference needed to devise the prop...

Is the Reactive Training System template outlined anywhere? Are there any articles on it? I am trying to piece it together from the training logs, but I was hoping to find a write up on it. Can anyone shed some light on it.

This is an email I recieved about programming RTS. I put it on here for everyone's benefit. **************** Question 1. At the early stages, should I be worried about precision volume controls? or should I run a couple of cycles and then start implementing them. 2. Since I am ~20 weeks away from a c...

I have a few questions about your programming, would it be ok to ask away here on your workout log?

This is basically for anyone. I have been training now for about 6-8 weeks on the outline that Mike gave me. It is a 4 day split, since I work 4 on 4 off. I train 4 days back to back, and do not have a clue on how I should actually train for percentages. I have been basically going up to 90+% everyday on excercise...

Hey Mike, I am amazed at your strength, I was wondering what programs or methods have you used to get so strong in the past. What has worked, what hasn't. have you tried a traditional sheiko template/program? Also do you have any nutritional considerations? Do you count protein etc? -- Edited by deanr...
