RTS with different template and goals
Permalink   


Hi,

I read your book, and I think it was really good! I want to apply the genereal principles in the book to my own training, which is somewhat different than the templates in the book since I am a little more size-oriented and not a powerlifter.

First, I will increase the reps a little by adding the rep ranges in the book by 4 reps. Example: Instead of 1-3 RM in the intensity block --> 5-7RM. Instead of 5's at 9-10 RPE in the volume block --> 9's at 9-10 RPE

My template:

Mon:
Deadlift
Seated DB press
BB curls

Wed:
Bench
Pull down
Tricps

Fri:
Front squat
Leg curl
Calf raise

Since the template is so different from the powerlifting template, I guess I will have to use fatigue percentages to get the correct stress levels. Here is what I have come yp with:

Medium stress for legs would be: 6 x 5 / 3 = 10 % (3 big slots;front squat, leg curl and deadlifts).
Medium stress upper push: 6 x 5 / 3 = 10 % (bench, shoulder press, triceps)
Medium upper pull  6 x 5 / 3 = 10 % (chins, BB curl deadlift)

Does is make sence?

This isnt an answer to your thread...but I have put on a tonne of mass on this program in the last 20 weeks or so running it as the first template in the book.

Yes, it makes sense. It looks like a pretty solid way to start. Keep me posted on how you're doing with it!
