@angelbaby35 I can relate to this. I started training at home when I was 39 (also female) and I was humiliated by the lack of strength particularly upper body. I couldn't hold myself up in a downward dog and my squat was a sad rounded ball. I persevered at home and was humiliated again when I...

@hunter101 Thanks for the detailed response and the correction! Right so sounds like high number of sets must be paired with "limited rest" in order to yield a similar level of RPE? What I mean by that is that unlike in typical gym/barbell where people seem to rest plenty between sets in...

In much of Neupert's programming (and others too but this comes to mind first), the prescribed starting weight might be say 10RM (taking this as an example without going into specifics) and then the rep ranges are very low say 4-5-6 reps per set in a wave. Now that would make the effort per set...

@hunter101 I'll have a look at that Russian Squat Routine. The only heavy light weaving I do is inspired by mark Wildman for my ballistics in clubs and kettlebells where I will expose myself to higher weights (fewer sets/reps workouts) in order to make the working weight feel lighter and show me...

@hunter101 Absolutely. The problem is that many programs assume that is the only program you do and therefore the planned intensity assumes a certain recovery frequency. So when one intertwines multiple programs none of them are getting the recovery that they assume (because like you say it's...

@hunter101 Fatigue management is something I've struggled with as well. The reason I have been unable to follow a program is because I'm interested in many movement patterns and there are none that combine them (I'm aware of the specificity trade-off there and I'm ok with it). I think I am...

@hunter101 I'm curious, what was it about your own programming that didn't work, in your opinion? I'm doing my own thing but I've been learning a lot about programming and periodization from places like RP etc but I always wonder if the grass is greener the other side, with an actual program.
