Re: Not to change the Subject but
Eight weeks. Start with 70% as week one and 105% as week eight and let an array formula fill in the middle six with 110% as a stretch goal if 105% goes well. I'll probably drop it to 102/105% when I hit 305 (the last actual PR from like three years ago) maybe move to twelve weeks.
I started with percentages cribbed from Coan's book but the array seems smoother. Still going with 10/8/5/4/3/2/2/1 for the reps though.
I'll say the one big thing I'm enjoying about linear over RPE is there's no thinking about how a set felt beyond how long do I need to rest till the next one.

Re: Not to change the Subject but
I don't knock RPE because tons of dudes far stronger than me utilize it, but the idea of it always has been phenomenally unattractive to me. Just give me percentages and tell me what to do. If I can't do it, than it was too hard and modify accordingly. If I can do it and it was too easy, whatever, treat it as a deload / ramp up.

Re: Not to change the Subject but
Another note. This is kind of a practice run because I'm coming back from a pretty bad layoff. Like when I started the goal squat everything is calculated on was 310 but the first fet weeks were really easy. Next cycle or two will probably actually tell if it works for me or not.

I was planning to try for a pause Squat single but don't really want to.
I smoked an 11lbs pork butt last night. I am now going to eat an entire pound of it and a tray of cornbread.

And we're done. Next week 10s. I'm going to try pushing curls and neck work onto m/t/t/f instead of Wed and Sat.
Also I'm up to 4 miles on walks. So progress from barely getting down the street in November.

Re: Not to change the Subject but
That'll be fun.
Nice. I hold myself to 5K steps per day, so a bit over 2 miles. Been doing that for two years. Didn't do a damn thing for my body composition but I feel much healthier and my cholesterol plummeted.

Re: Not to change the Subject but
The only problem with long walks is I'm slow as old roofing tar. Like I feel better when I do them but do I really want to set aside like three hours for it?

Re: Not to change the Subject but
Are you also part of the "thinks Front Squats sound great until I do them for 2 weeks" crew? lol
Looks like a solid workout.
