Even just a fraction of rep speed change effects this too. One week at 275 squat you get 12 reps. The second week you do 280 and get 15 reps. But the speed of those reps is just slightly faster and the 15 reps came easier. Rep speed staying constant seems to be important to this formula. This video really clicks for me. I've been journaling and know each week that I'm either adding a rep or adding weight. It honestly excites me to get into the gym because I feel the challenge to that extra rep or the extra 5 pounds. Thanks for this great formula!

[@dennisthorson4159]

This. And this is why in e.g. the Norwegian approach, they tend to count time spent on eccentric and concentric phases, to accomodate speed.

[@ralphwarom2514]

I have small plates. 0.5 kg or about 1.2 pounds. Generally I just use very tiny increases every week and not think about anything else. Same reps, same speed.

[@mrose4132]

For sure!!! I notice I will speed up reps as I fatigue

[@maxfern5701]

And also ROM. You can be with the same weights for a while just trying to get the ROM and tempo correct and once that's settled, then I feel like the progressive overload can really begin.

[@zakuraayame5091]

having a metronome (or app) can help you keep a pace; it prevents you from unintentionally fast counting ... so one week you aren't 1 .... 2 .... 3 .... and week three you aren't 1..2..3..; the body and mind will try to trick your conscious into lethargy ;)

[@hoends9880]

Tldr: if I understood this correctly - aim to increase reps or/and load per week, whilst aiming to lower RIR by 1 per week. Load/reps increase does not have to be each set, however it is ideal. If you cannot decrease RIR per week or increase load, just try to maintain last week's performance. Load:10:55 Reps; 22:42 This is just a typical increase reps or load per week, but only going to failure in the last week. For newbies, it might be better to do 5x5, with a goal of increasing reps till 10 reps can be hit, then reset with increased weight with 5x5 and repeat process.

[@rushpea447]

Great lecture, now I just wish the gym was open. Cheers Mike.

[@phillips8366]

As someone who is relatively new to using RPE, this is what I've been doing to great success: start the first week with 4x10RPE9 for most compounds and keep the weight the same for every workout until you feel like you're doing 4x10RPE6-7, and THEN increase the weight by 5lbs. This shifted my focus from "INCREASE WEIGHT AND REPS AND AGHHHH" and then burning out to focusing on the muscle, controlling intensity, and asking "how many more reps could I truly have done?" It's still progressive overload except instead of increasing weight all the time, you're decreasing intensity. Once your body gets used to that stimulus, increase it slightly. Boom: gains. I've also been "testing" whether or not I'm at a true RPE6 by doing a set of 15 after I've recorded one or two RPE6s for that lift. For example, if I bench 200x10x4RPE6-7 two workouts in a row, the next workout I'll do 200x10x3 with a final set of 200x15 (and invariably still have something left in the tank). This guarantees I'm not screwing up my RPE measurements. I'll probably get rid of that as I get better with RPE, but the gains have been considerable.

A foolproof method to get to 2 RIR every set: Perform the reps at normal speed and as you fatigue that speed starts to get harder to maintain. Do your best to maintain it and when you can't, you're at 2RIR. Test it, works like magic.

[@darrunn]

Might just try this 👍

[@darrunn]

@Martin I'm not joking and I didn't think he was as it pretty much makes sense to me but I could be wrong. From what it seems like he's advising is as soon as the tempo at which you're lifting slows down, that's where the "effective reps" are. Slower reps doesn't necessarily mean you're at 0rir as you could probably get 1 or 2 more

[@rolandfisher]

@@darrunn You go it. We've tested this over and over, and when we can't maintain speed most all of us can get 2 more slower reps if we dig in. Form should still be good.

[@Drewmon779]

Before this video, I took notes from Mike describing this in a podcast. I then used Excel to create my mesocycle. I started with a deload / feeler week. I basically designed the progression by increasing volume but alternating the progression one week adding reps and the next week adding load. I consider myself an intermediate (getting stronger with improving form & mind muscle connection). I had actually tested my 1RMs a month before on the big 3, so I used the mesocycle to progress from 60% to 80% 1RM load. It worked great. I integrated activate overload pump work out method from John Meadows using isolation exercises for the activate and pump sets. I used compounds as working sets from the progression staying in the 6-10 rep range. And I targeted about 70% compounds tonnage and 30% isolation tonnage. So the isolation exercises barely progressed (iso-volume was static). And the compounds to isolation ratio actually went from about 55/45 to 70/30 at the end of the mesocycle. It worked great. Managing stimulation and fatigue is the way to go. I'm sticking to this method going forward. And I can change it up every mesocycle. I only compete with myself so I am not sure about the macrocycle. But after several weeks of barbell working sets, I was thinking of dumbell working sets for the next one and probably progressing reps rather than alternating rep and load progression.

[@FormerlyKnownAsAndrew]

Man, this video was extremely well done. Big respect to Dr. Mike. He explained this perfect... I actually understand how to apply this now.

[@sundownstudios2.075]

I've been picking a weight and adding reps from 5-6 range and every other day I add reps until I hit 12-15 then I increase the weight by ten pounds and start from the 5-6 range and repeat the process. it's been working pretty well which is what you're talking about. Awesome.

[@user-en5vj6vr2u]

I think you could stand to go a little more aggressive with this scheme since in my experience adding 10 pounds equates to losing roughly 2 reps in that 6-12 rep range assuming the load is around 100-300. So I think you could add 20-30 lbs before dropping the reps, then deloading when needed

[@ejm12345]

Grea to know. This is somehow what I'm doing. Straight sets and if I feel that on the last rep of the last set I still can do more.. I add a few reps. Then I increase the weight on the last set the next week. If I could still match or beat it, then I add weight to the set before that. I'm a beginner so I find it difficult to estimate RIR. Great to know what I'm doing is somewhat similar to this.

Hey Mike I've just gone into my new deload week and essentially prescribed a similar training method and tracked in my google sheet with videos. Basically doing Texas 5x5 but with the overarching RIR OF 3/2/1/0/DELOAD which worked well. Definitely hit my mvr and was dying for a break. The weight increases were purely based on my emotional state, previous sets and the graph trend and week of the meso making sure ego was removed (home gym helps). Squats were 135kg, 140kg, 150kg, 160kg on 5th set with appropriate RIR. Probably not as honest with my second week as I could of been but then again this isn't my first rodeo and there truly isn't a rush, worst case I'm set back a week or two but minimise that acculmative fatigue build up and keep my mental energy / mental state extremely positive which I feel is often overlooked from my clients / general gym clients.

Very interesting. But also pretty complex. Not sure if it is more effective then just do 3 sets of 12(or whatever rep range you want) reps with the same weight and always increasing when you can finish all sets with good form. I always did it like this lets say you can bench100kg for 12,10,8 reps on week 1. On week 2 you shoot to increase at least 1 rep. When you hit 100kg 12,12,12 you increase weight. It seems more fatiguing but also more reliable. I will give it a shot tho. Dr Mike has always been a incredibly reliable source of good information.

Great video. In it you talk about increasing weight and sometimes it is not possible like when you are using dumbbells. The way I get around that is by getting wrist weights (which I believe were made for runners). I got a pair of 1.25 & 2.5 wrist weights that I can easy put on and add that micro increase.

[@alextimo]

Mike also mentioned that for dumbbells you increase reps - like going from 10 reps to 20 across 10 weeks. By the time you reach 20 reps, you should be ready to go up 5 lbs at 10 reps.

[@M3diaConsumer]

This is similar to what John Meadows prescribes, although his method is simpler: (1) Pick a rep range, which is mostly 8-10 for Meadows, (2) The last rep should be pretty damn hard for each set (~1-0 RIR). If it’s easy, don’t count that set as a working set and go up in load, (3) go to failure or even beyond failure on the last set (0 RIR + high intensity technique). Very easy to manage.

[@loganshrout6259]

Is there a specific advantage to 4-5 week mesocycles? What are your thoughts on something like: Week 1: 3 RIR Weeks 2-6: 2 RIR Week 7: 1 RIR Week 8: 0 IRR (optional) Deload Idea being to spend a lower % of time deloading while staying around that 2 RIR average and keeping fatigue at a manageable level.

[@DJcs187]

It's been 10 months I know, but I figured I'd still take a stab at this. So bascially, I would say this depends on how advanced you are. If you can actually make progress in weight and/or reps for 4 weeks straight while training at 2 RIR, then sure. Most likely, after newbie gains are exhausted, people will progress less quickly and thus their RIR will decrease faster, resulting in shorter mesos. You could extend mesos even for intermediate and advanced trainees, but by starting at a lower weight, so 4 RIR for example, but the tradeoff for having fewer deloads would then be that you spend more time at >2 RIR which is not ideal either.

[@jayb555-r9k]

Seriously this is exactly the practical advice that I’ve been missing.
