Ok keep me posted.
Ok Snap i am going to give Tuchscherer rts stuff a run until may meet so now i have something new and different (at least for me) to post. I dabbled in it several years ago and liked the concepts and since may will be a tune up meet so to speak i thought this is a good time to give it a serious try.
Friday
20 min block, wanted to stay light so kept around a 7 rpe. If rpe got up to 8 then i took a bit longer rest.
Bench
255/8x5 in 19 min
Db incline- same as bench
80/8x5 18 min
Lying try-touch bench behind head
105/6x8 18 min
Tbar row-strict
160/9x8 18 min
Really like the auto regulation stuff.
I’m fascinated by this training style and will be very interested in seeing it in practice.

Hi James. It really makes a lot of sense to me and can easily be adapted into whatever a person’s training beliefs are. I also think his book is simple yet so full of bullet points of knowledge. The man is sharp to say the least.

LOL…yeah, that’s definitely an understatement. I’ll have to check the book out to see what principles I can apply to my training.

Yea a really big understatement lol. I recommend the book, especially of you are an outside the box thinker so too speak. If your looking for a set program to copy and use then probably not.
Abs today
I think the most stable I have felt in the sq/dl has been the years where i did high volume abs. So they are coming back.
A p90x ab workout. I just have a list to follow so not sure which version or even if there is more than 1 version?
It was 11 exercises and did 25 reps each…burned like hell…so good workout.

Not familiar with this. So it’s all based on RPE?
Hey snap. I’ll bring the book next week and you can take a look. But yea rpe is a big part of determining how many sets, etc.

Oh. How am I to get there? Have to call in some favors. What nights are you here again? Shit. Me all weak and on crutches. I’m going to blow my strong reputation. Ahh, well. The truth is bound to come out sometime.

I really wish you werent on the injured list, you would really like his training style.
Well I think anyway,ha.
You little softie you 
Minor detail snap lol. I’ll get itinerary tmrw and email you. Wed night might be my only chance? I’ll be back in May so I’ll see you all buff again.
Up keep your phone handy, pics will be coming your way Wed lol.
like to hear feedback on Tuscherererere’s stuff (guy has to make his name easier) have been semi fascinated by it for the last few years, and I know some post-Westside guys have incorporated some of it into their training.

I’ll keep you posted. Obviously going to be some trial and error but really looking forward to giving it a run. If you have any suggestions from the people who have incorporated it into their training let me know.

what I have picked up on was mostly with how Dave Tate was programming a few up and coming plers a year or so ago. He would have them, under the assumption that they could squat and pull under his supervision once a week, do speed work, then work up to a RPE 2, 3 or 5 max, or something like that, then drop back down to a lower level effort for some rep work. This might be imperfect recollection, but it was hybriding Mike T’s stuff with traditional Westside.

According to Mike’s book, he started out or at least used westside principles initially. I have never spoken to him so not sure how to interpret that. Anyway, he uses alternating blocks of volume/intensity type training and the intensity blocks use the high rpe (10) for 1-3 and i think up to 5rm like you said above. I have used the drop sets and liked them, basically working up to a top set at “X” rpe then taking off X% of that weight and continue with the lighter weight until you reach that same rpe as the top set. Book lists the % to decrease based on how much fatigue to want to induce. But % to drop is also trial and error so to speak.
Edit: Gillespie also did drop sets similar to that above but used a tendo to determine if speed was maintained on the lower sets. Was interesting to play with and also auto regulating. When speed dropped you were done with the drop sets. So much out there to try lol.
Lower day
Plan was a medium stress day so medium volume and medium intensity
so 20 min block at a 7 rpe
SSQ 7 rpe
260/8x5 18 min
Rdl (bent knee at top) 7 rpe
315/9x5 19:30 min
Pit shark (wasn’t sure on wt) 7 rpe
325x5
400x5
450x5
500/7x5 19:45 min
Would like to start adding in some post work, lunges, back ext etc and some pulls. Maybe next week i can slowly work some stuff in.
