How do you know how fast you should progress? Most cookie cutter programs has a built in progress method, but people have very different rate of adaptations and how fast they progress.

Thanks guys, so its not that important to use periodization for just pure strength training?

And am i right that its the total volume, intensity and frequency that drives progression? And not the...

I have done mostly trained for hypertrophy, but starting to pick up more interest towards strength and powerlifting. I know that around 75% of 1RM is the minimum threshold for strength. But if you...

Do you guys use your own split for the programming? Or did you buy the rp male hypertrophy templates?

For you who like rp style volume ramping, do you log rir every week when going from 4/3 rir at start of the meso to 0 rir in the last week? Or do you only log it for the first week, then add weight,...

How do you guys like to program main lifts for hypertrophy?

What i like about this progression method, is the focus on maintaining a sufficient degree of relative intensity, so your always in that...

I have for a while been doing rp style volume ramp training, while i really did like this type of programming, i found that i like to keep sets more static and not change to many variables, this...

Thanks guys, i just keep my calories the same, dont wanna overcomplicate it.

Do you guys adjust your calorie intake based on training day or rest day? Was just reading the RP diet book, where they recommended lowering carbs on rest days.

I do have an very sedentary life beside lifting, the thing is when cutting i seem to have better adherence to lower activity and steps combined with less food, then doing more activity and steps,...

As we know that progressive overload is more an observation then an action, and the action is meeting the required stimulus during the session with enough volume and effort ( close to failure). Do we...

Thanks guys!

I have mostly been doing pure hypertrophy training for the past years, but want to go into more strength training. When training for hypertrophy i have used rir and rep range for loading zone to set...

Thanks everyone! Basically hit enough total volume with the right relative effort (3-0 rir) and your pretty much on the right way for hypertrophy?

Whats the biggest difference in hypertrophy training vs strength? Seems like hypertrophy is pretty forgiving adaptation, but strength training should have more thoughts into periodization etc.

Right now i do count hard sets measured with rir, then from meso to meso i look for progression instead of forcing progression, so if progression occurs and im able to do do more weight, sets or reps...

For you guys who train only for hypertrophy, how do you program progression? Right now im doing RP style volume ramping, really liking it so far, but wanted to see what others do for inspiration.

As we know that hypertrophy is a very forgiving adaptation and for me i have a long time of overcomplicating programs and progression schemes for pure hypertrophy training, and it seems like many...

What i meant was, lets say i have two Upper days, the first i wanna focus on chest/triceps, so i place them early in the workout, then the secound upper day i wanna focus on back/biceps, so i place...

Im doing an Upper/Lower split right now, my question is, does it matter if i do all my chest exercises before back? Or is it best to alternate?

Upper:
Bench
Bb Row
Incline bench
Pulldowns
