And out of interest, when you're talking about kind of the intensity and kind of reps and reserve or RPE, and I haven't actually read the latest issue of Mass, but I did know they did this and it was quite interesting how people like don't put in enough work. And I know with my, and I think there might be a typical population with it because I know for myself, with my clients, if I program them like a two reps and reserve, they'd be lucky if they have one rep and reserve sometimes, like they almost go too hard. It's just the type of person I work with. For yourself, obviously you work with intent. Do you kind of periodize your relative intensity? How do you attack that? What are you doing with that? I
Speaker 1
would say I wouldn't say I periodize intensity too too much other than to do like the occasional de -load or week off or what have you. But for me for the most part, I'm usually leaving like, know, a couple, a couple of reps in the tank for my, my heavy stuff. Um, and then for some of my more metabolic type work, um, pump style training, um, I'm not afraid to, to take those sets pretty close to failure. Um, because I feel like, especially with those sets, the failure is a little bit blurred anyway. I mean, like if you get a little bit loose on the technique with with those at all You can extend the set, you know an extra four or five reps So I try to go to that point where I guess in my head I would call it something like an RP 9 Something like that and then I'm usually taking it. This is something I've been doing forever But I'm usually taking the last set of the last exercise for a body part to failure, sometimes beyond failure in terms of like doing like some force reps, drop sets, that sort of thing. And that's something that I do use quite regularly in my training as well.
