Guideline 1: Max Strength programming must use weight that is equal to or greater than 70% of your 1 rep max
Guideline 2: Use Prilepin's chart to determine the sets and reps necessary with the percent you choose.
Guideline 3: Use Relative intensity rather than actual intensity to progress from week to week. If you are using sets of 6, use the rep max chart to determine the what percentage of your 1 rep max would be your 6 rep max. In this case it is 85%. Then you base your working percent off of that number (your 6 rep max) rather than your 1 rep max.

    LH late response, but I think the assumption is that only intermediate and above are programming in this manner, as beginners dont need to worry about programming nearly as much, and rep maxes dont change quickly enough for it to matter if youve been lifting for a little while

    Maybe he attended a sci and tech school like I did. When you want to write quickly and neatly, the circle method is the way to do it. It's like crossing your zeros and putting a line in a Z to distinguish it from a 2; it allows you and others to read what you write.

I only recently started watching your videos since you did a colab with Juji and Tom, and since I never saw your face in this one I never put it together it was you. I've been programming with a similar kind of methodology of tracking intensity and relative intensity and it's helped immensely. I know credit should go to the research you cited, but it was you who brought it to my attention so thank you very much!

    Hey man, thanks for the great video! Love your content. I had a question for you - not sure if you would but gotta ask. I am a rock climber, and training grip strength is the meat and potatoes of our workouts. Would these programming techniques work with forearms? They tend to plateau and become impervious to any soreness quickly and are one of the weird training muscle groups - like the calves or the core. I know that the programming principles would work for things like pulling and leg strength , but wonder about forearms. Would be dope to know. Thanks!

By that I mean, squat, bench, deadlift and press, all in the same week. Would I get into overtraining by following the Relative Intensity logic at the same time on the 4 main lifts ?? Thanks a lot for all your videos ;)

    Hey mate this video is great, it's answered heaps of questions I've had over the years about difficulty gaining momentum in training. I was wondering what the thoughts are on programming squats multiple times in a week, and the increase in Relative Intensity - do you keep the increase in RI below 5% per week, no matter the sessions. If I was programming 3 squat sessions a week, would I go something like 71, 73, 75% RI throughout that one week? And would you split those workouts into light/moderate/heavy?

  • @andyyu1642
    @andyyu164210 ай бұрын

    Thank you Zack for sharing this detailed and helpful guide! But I need your help to understand this: In the video, reps are determined from absolute intensity (a dependent variable of reps) and Prilepin's chart (constant) while we can only find absolute intensity (AI) from reps (a dependent variable of AI) and relative intensity (constant). Therefore, reps and AI are dependent on each other and that may result in multiple answers. For example, at 6:09, you showed us an example of how to get absolute intensity of 76.5% from relative intensity of 88% with 5 reps (87%); RI88% x 87%(5reps) = AI76.5%. What if we use 4 reps(90%) instead of 5 reps (87%) for RI%88? i.e. RI88% x 90%(4reps) = AI79% Is the reason you used 5 instead of 4 reps because we also don't want to increase the AI% by too much every week as the same reason why we keep increase of RI% within 3%? I understand the chart is just a guideline for us to play with among different training experiences and individuals, but still would love to know your logic behind. Thank you again Zack, great contents!!

    Scoffed when you said progressive overload, but as soon as you pulled out prilepin's chart and talked about relative intensity you won me over! Admittingly I didnt understand all the math before this video, but from my experience, you have to train relative to your best. The body doesnt care if it is 10 pounds or a hundred- all it knows is heavy or not. Almost noone considers the relative intensity when they dicuss progressive overload, drives me bonkers. Pretty much any athlete-, once they hit the medium advanced level- cannot handle progressive overload for long. It would destroy their body with volume unless they started super slow (ie jim wendler 5/3/1- only using 85-90 percent of your non stimulated training max which ends up being about a 80-87%starting point when done right and even then it's a good month before you go up by just 5-10# on your lifts).. +subbed, nice job breaking it down :)

    Thank you for sharing this, very helpfull! I have a question: at 6 min video. 4*6@72 and 4*5@74 got the same Relative intensity i suppose because 6 reps is 85% and 5 reps is 87% of 1RM so 72/85 and 74/87 are the same! What about the set manipulation? 4*6 and 5*5, they still got the same RI but one more set for the 5 rep... we don't take into consideration the set count?
