Does anyone know what Wendlers 'standards' or 'goals' are for these types of workouts?

Picking up my weight vest tonight.

What would be a good method for 'autoregulating' volume (hard sets) alongside the LP, while also increasing the volume over time do you think?

Something like adding another AMRAP set every 8 weeks?

General consensus elsewhere is that volume = hard sets/AMRAP sets. And that you need 10+ sets a week per bodypart to push growth, the more the better... Hence why bodybuilders use so many sets vs powerlifters/strong guys who dont look like they lift!

Happy experimenting myself just after other thoughts on how to make this gradual increase in total sets an 'automatic' part of the program.

Also theres loads of other great articles on his site using the wayback machine website.

What's the link for that burpee challenge plan? I think it was from a crossfit site? Starts with like 3x10 then moves down sets as reps go up.

Cheers

Cool cheers

Thank you for posting that. I am at stage where that advice needs to be heeded. Especially the bit about earning the right to move up weight. If in doubt, reset and enjoy the process. Thanks

Getting back into lifting again after back injury. Probably too much volume just starting out but hey ho. Didnt push squat at all, going to working on form as I dont want my spine going again!

Might just switch back to GSLP for a while to build my lifts back up, then head back to RPT after that.

Yes exactly, thanks. I still quite like the simplefit.org workout program so could always use that as a minimum workout to go off. Smashing that with a weight vest could do wonders! Might even just switch to it now..

Ah thats a good idea, nice. See how long I can keep it up. We've just been told were expecting twins so lifting may fall down the priority scale soon!

Hi deafjam thanks for the advice. I would say its a pull but occasionally get 'twinge' like pain in my lower back, which generally makes me feel weak/in pain.

I have kept active with calisthenics but starting to get itchy to hit the barbell again now!

In the challenges book there's a clear progression of challenges in the pushup theme.

Pushup > decline weighted pushup > dips.

Would you say there is a progressove order to the other bodyweight work? Or the different running challenges?
