Probably I’m seeing it relative to my own work, where I think the track is lava

I’m on week 5 of 12 of a powerlifting program. The rough outline was designed by a very experienced friend, and the finer points were molded by one of his employees to fit my needs/equipment.
The program starts with trying to acclimate me to proper loading with RPE on some alternate and tempo movements, transitions to percentage based work for 4-6 weeks with more specific movements, and then back to RPE for comp bench and deadlift shooting for a max double or triple. Squats stay as a percentage through week twelve, but I’ll be shooting for a volume PR (3x3 at 87%). Hoping to hit some serious PRs on bench and deadlift. If I could triple my previous maxes, I’d be ecstatic.
So far it’s been fine. A little boring , but I think the learning curve to RPE has me holding myself back from totally diving in head first. I’ve actually been noticing some pretty substantial muscular gains but I have been feeling sort of weak. Hoping to turn a corner these next couple weeks though.

Getting my 19 year old newbie son into the gym at least 2 times a week full body with a chest press either a vertical pull or horizontal pull and a leg press and seated leg curl and machine lateral
raises so he can milk the newbie gains and avoid mobility issues by not being locked into barbells.
I will be adding in Walrus type training, exercise bike and a @Christian_Thibaudeau style gap workout every other day for myself as a 54 year old permanent intermediate perpetually gaintaining.

I’m running last week (9) of Alsruhe RPM EMOM fullbody workout as well.
I think it is a “volume program”, so next will be a high intensity low volume (8-10 sets week x body part) in upper/lower.

I can’t be asked to watch a video, but I’m sure it’s horrendous!
