Hey guys,
Been a while since I've posted here, my cut went great, no problems whatsoever. Bulk went great too, put on 10kg's since December, not all too natty but you know. I did lose 1.5 months worth of progression while laying in the hospital with severe pneumonia, lost 6kg in that time, sucked!
My cut is going to start now for about 6 weeks, you can name me shredded shedder after that, but onto the point:
I'm going to use RPT for my cut, always trying new things and see how I respond. I wanted to use RPT for bulking afterwards, but it seems a lot of forums dissagree with RPT on a bulk due to volume.
FYI I like to use fullbody workouts as I feel I can progress just a tad more on them! I like it minimalistic too.
I really like the concept, and in my eyes, it's just a rep scheme. I'm tired of lifting sets across, things are getting heavy, so RPT is a nice change!
About the volume, standard RPT for squats for example would be 4-6, 6-8 and 8-10 rep sets. Taking the upper threshold of the ranges, that adds up to 24 reps, slightly on the low volume side. But what if I just throw another set on? 10-12 for example? This would boost the reps to 36. I don't see anything wrong with this? It may be boring for a lot of people to squat 4 sets in different ranges, but I don't mind and I don't see how this could NOT work for a minimalist, compound heavy fullbody workout.
Example would be:
Squats
A. Bench Press
B. OHP
Chinups
SG RDL (I really like snatch grip, adds a lot of muscle to my upper and mid back)
A. Skullcrushers
B. CGBP
Some kind of curl, depening on current needs
Lateral raises
Calf Presses
Only the main lifts are done RPT, accessory work is straight sets.
What do you guys think?
