Thanks for bumping. If I were to adjust this a bit, I'd likely add in some form of auto regulation. Maybe simply leave the number of sets open ended. So on days you feel like poop, you can do less volume and on days you feel like superman/woman you can do more volume... essentially dialing your training dosage to your body's level of readiness on any given day.

Of course it also depends on the person. Some people need rigid guidelines. When they have an option to slack, they take it, and thus ultimately don't do enough work to fuel progress.

Hey Steve!

Just curious if you would introduce autoregulation right out of the gates on someone or would you interject that at a later point?

FWIW I'm on an autoregulated program and I love it, although I do occasionally face the challenge of remaining objective about my performance levels and balancing out reality vs ego and I think I've made a few mistakes in both directions in that regard. Still love it though, and I've gotten better at it as I go.
