Thanks for the video! I’m looking to learn to program to get stronger for Jiujitsu. Is this type of programming adaptable for sports and if so how would you go about this?

Hey Mike, How would you program strength training for a bjj athlete ??
@johnbessman18 күн бұрын
Is time-to-peak only really applied in the final block before a meet? With 2X squat/DL per week but 4X bench, you'd have double the bench exposures at the end of the block. Is it not as important for development blocks far from competition? Or just a quirk for this athlete?
@ReactiveTrainingSystems13 күн бұрын
TTP is based on the exposure of stimulus. You can train a movement pattern multiple times a week with different variations. Which makes the stimulus different. CE bench and 3ct pause bench, isn't the same stimulus. TTP determines the block length and we tend to hold all block lengths to that time frame.

Very helpful video in showing how you organize training considerations and refine programming overtime based on client feedback and coach analysis. With the program you have on screen at the very end, for the Monday session it shows wide lat pull down for 1 set of 12 at an RPE 9, then 5 sets of 3 at an RPE 5? Am I reading that right? Just curious to understand why one would program such little reps and so many sets at a light intensity on an accessory movement like that?
@KennyAllen-RTS20 күн бұрын
I'm glad you found it helpful! Great question about the protocol. That is a unique type of training called "myo-reps." It's a way to condense hypertrophy work into a much shorter time frame by relying on short inter-set rest periods to keep fatigue high and keep motor unit recruitment high. How I usually describe the protocol to my lifters is this: "12@9 then sets of 3 with the same weight until RPE 10. Cap at 5 sets of 3. 20 seconds of rest between all sets." If you've never done this type of training before I'd give it a try - a lot of people find it really fun and effective.

@KennyAllen-RTS ah, thank you! I've definitely heard of it, and I think done it, but I've never written it out in programming or seen other write it out so it didn't click. As I prepare for my next season of cutting, this seems like an effective strategy to get great STF and keep volume lower. Thanks again!

What’s the lowest RPE you might programme on a top set for an athlete that might not need much higher intensity exposure during the week to see top end strength increase? Do you count anything below RPE 5 for example? Would you focus on a different part of their training?
@KennyAllen-RTS20 күн бұрын
For top sets I don't think I've gone below RPE 5, and in those cases where I use RPE 5 the top set RPE is intended to increase as the weeks continue (RPE 5 week 1, RPE 6 week 2, etc.). If the lifter isn't tolerating "top set" work of at least RPE 6-7 there's a good chance there's some training limitation (total workload too high, injury, unsustainable technique, they are actually hitting a much higher RPE, etc.) and focusing on the bottleneck would be a better pursuit than aiming for top sets. But for backdown work I've prescribed things as low as triples at 65% of estimated 1 rep max for someone before which is so light it shouldn't register as an RPE. I've also used "RPE 3" for a handful of lifters as well. Sometimes people respond to strange things, or these ultra low RPE protocols can help bridge the gap while you work to improve some quality of their training that is currently limiting them.

Hi Mike, I found this very interesting. Serious question, what do you do with a lifter who is unable to run the same block more than once without going backwards?
@ReactiveTrainingSystemsАй бұрын
A couple of thoughts here. The first thing would be to make sure to not run the same block back to back. There often needs to be 2-3 different blocks that can be run in sequence, but not run back to back. If you repeat a block and there is decline in response, it would be good to consider what ‘outside’ factors might be impacting the lifters ability to adapt/recover. Life stress can very well impact our training response. The first time it could be a response to novelty. That can happen. The core goal is to establish patterns and use those patterns to make informed training choices. Looking at the pivot preceding the block is important as well. Was enough fatigue reduced during the pivot?
@michaeltuchscherer9322Ай бұрын
@@123peterjackson I generally wouldn't run the same block back to back. I have not found it to be an issue where a lifter responds well to a block and then fails to respond to a similar block as long as it's done sometime later.
@christhompson4660Ай бұрын
Thank you for this excellent in depth information. I was curious, is the benefit of your 'hypertrophy' block solely to act as a buffer between building work capacity and higher intensity work? I don't imagine a natural lifter at Bryce's level is going to build any appreciable muscle after a year of training, much less in a 4 week block. The term has never really made sense to me.
@ReactiveTrainingSystemsАй бұрын
That's one way you could view it. Often times a hypertrophy block serves good purpose after a meet. Giving the lifter a bit of some down time from higher intensity protocols. While we may not by looking to gain mass per say, that change in stimulus can help restore a lifters sensitivity to the higher intensity work we often see going into a meet.

One thing I've thought a lot about, as an amateur Bondarchuk nerd, is the application of maintenance cycles/periods/blocks in cases like this (mainly because y'all haven't talked about it yet 😂). Maintenence periods within Bondarchuk's system are, of course, where the athlete's exercise set completely changes right when they're at peak in order to hold them at peak for short periods. Drastically changing the exercise set is normally something you avoid because it freezes the development of sport form wherever it is and the athlete just plateaus for a few weeks - except with maintenence, that's exactly what the goal is. But it seems to me that you might also use a maintenance period just as a way to slip in a useful new set of exercises right before competition without the athlete losing form. So, e.g., for an athlete who gets beat up with heavy weights and responds better to lower intensities, it might be possible to peak them a week early and put them directly into a new exercise set with max strength loading for just a session or two (not long enough to get crushed, but enough for them to feel out the weights). Or, as a Bondarchuky "taper," you might change to a lighter exercise set if you've got an athlete who really benefits from bleeding off stress. I wonder what Peter and the rest of y'all think about this - depending on just how much flipping and tapering and travel and other changes that happen here, maybe I'm describing exactly what's happening already?

I/we have always found MX blocks to be tricky, so I try to avoid them. In Powerlifting, since we compete once with long breaks between, I don't find the need for MX except in situations where things went in an unexpected direction. Then again, I always used the "terracing" approach that Derek Evely talks about.

Mike's injury sounds very similar to the issue I was having with my glute/hip for about a year. I thought that there might have been some correlation with squat depth so I played around with squatting with chains and squatting to a high box, but I wasn't gaining any traction progressing those variations without causing flair ups. It did wind up being the "spinal sheer" scale that was the most productive tool for getting things better. Early on, I had tried out high bar squats and was still having flair ups. But eventually I got around to front squats and, whether it was from the upright posture or that enough time had passed, I was able to train that lift and make progress. Then high bar started feeling good and eventually I was able to low bar squat again. That's not to say that "spinal sheer" is inherently bad or anything, but it was a useful way of thinking about different movements and ordering them to get back to training the movement I wanted.

We use a plethora of loading protocols. Some of those will only use RPE to benchmark a top set then use % based back off work. x1 @8, 70%x5x5 for example. Others we may do x1 @8 x3 @9 x3 @7. Or we may use x3 @7, x3 @8, x3 @9. They all have different nuances and places they work best.
