That whiteboard series is awesome 👏🏻

Even that dog wanted to learn workout programming. Now he will teach his next whole generation how to get jacked 😂.

Thank you once again for educating. There are so many coaches out there right now, but only 10% of them, i would give a 10/10 on the useful-scale. I count you as one of them 👍

I can already see the dog dipping 200KG before Tonio 😋

[@dontreadmychannelpicture5345]

Good dog. How much can he dip?

[@Yegory]

not sure, but Diego can sure pull some ladies

Also another question, you Talk a lot about heavy Work to Drive strength adaptation, what % of 1RM should one Work with in the 3-5 rep range ? Doing "Heavy Work" with like 80% 1RM for 3-4 reps feels like not working at all, it's a weight you could do 6-7 reps with

[@mrt1430]

But that is how you get strong.

[@mouahahhehehe5563]

By working RPE 7 all the time ? I mean when you're super strong, the cheer weight and stress must be enough, but when you're intermediate, isn't more logical to go harder ?@@mrt1430

[@MichaSchulz]

You cycle it as explained in the programming series. You start on low RPE and ramp them up

[@mouahahhehehe5563]

@@MichaSchulz I've deloaded last week, will try to ramp those ups during this block. Thanks for taking the time to answering Micha !

[@llzx3672]

Can increasing range of motion be a variation too?

[@MichaSchulz]

Yes definitely 👍🏻

[@KnGlock]

Where can I find info about competitions and records etc. ?

Hey Micha, was wondering, let's stay you start a meso cycle too hard on for example pull ups which cuz you to block 2-3 weeks-in in that lift and not getting any gains, what would you do ? Change the variation of the Said pull ups because you overused a certain type of stimulus(which was too heavy to begin with anyway so you maybe even regressed) or adjust the weights coming Back to some RPE7-8 mid cycle or even deload that lift(Here pull ups) mid-cycle and Go Back on track a week later with a best Guess of actual. What would be your suggestion ?

[@MichaSchulz]

I would probably keep the weight and rather taper the reps a bit toward the end of the block. So instead of set of 5 do 4
