[@passthebutter3]

I wish you would have discussed how Will goes about progressing in his program: what RIR he targets, how he autoregulates, etc.

[@ItmeDlO]

From what he said and posted, it looks like it is whatever weight x 10-20 reps. When he hits 20 reps (or high enough reps idk if he has to hit 20) he said he adds reps or sets then I would think he would add weights then go back down from 20-> 10 minimum His program doesn’t seem to have RIR, they are myorep match (each set striving for failure) and failure ones at the end of the day (which are like burn out sets)

[@jimmason8502]

@@ItmeDlO This how I train now since I left the gym and set up my own mini-gym in my garage. When I run out of reps and sets I hit the fitness store to buy more dumbbells lol.

[@jbrandona119]

If he’s using the hypertrophy app, the target RIR decreases as load increases throughout the cycle. Since this was just one week of a cycle I’m guessing there’s progression pretty close to this.

The difficulty would be finding people that are both worth having on and actually willing to come on.

Have done this program now for 3 months and I have mixed reviews. Pros: shoulders and chest have developed more than ever in my 7 years of training. My biceps and triceps are also fuller than they’ve ever been. Back is now wider in comparison to when I started. Not a huge amount but noticeable. Cons: of course my legs suffered. Legs have stayed the sam. The single leg press was painful for me because I’ve never trained it before. I could never go higher in weight. The hack squat, leg extension and leg curls were the only things that I really felt. Smith squat was okay but once again, I’d rather do a hack squat any day. Zero calf exercises. Hardly any upper trap or low back focus at all. Would’ve liked to see some kind of forearm movement as well. I understand this was tailored by Will for Will and his specific muscle groups. I have a small frame and my extremities needed work. Upper body got the work it needed but lower was rough. I do not recommend this workout for my ectomorph brothers and sisters. All in all 6/10 workout God bless you guys and thanks for the years of fitness advice and entertainment Will!
