Brendan, at the top set/backdown approach, why dont you plug your free intermediate program? It follows this principle and man, S tier program among the free ones out there! It is so well thought out, that it is a shame that it is not more known! Hell, the deadlift DUP part works even with my Atlas stones!
This is so funny, I was doing method 3 and one of my goals is to improve my main lift and doing some hypertrophy and the same time. So for my bench I've been doing my warm up sets to 3-4 reps every jump and I reach rpe 7 for 5 or 6 reps and after I do rpe 6 from 8 to 12 reps and 3 sets like that, same with the squats, weighted pull ups, and some deadlift variations. I feel my way stronger and not to tired. In the fitness industry people think streng it just 1 to 5 reps for sets.
seems like a ton of reps, burnout on top set ? usually light go to top sets with 2-3 reps and decend with 8 reps all the way down ... what do you think
LOVE IT! Very peaceful here. Tbh though I love everywhere even Cali. Some of the most beautiful nature out that way. To me home is a state of mind. For now NC serves me well and the community is great
I’ve tried it and didn’t care for it. It’s often used to ensure a lifter lifts a little lighter. I’d rather they just do a single with less weight first and then do back offs but it’s really down to a coaches style
This is perfect timing, I was just wondering about stuff like this.
I got you fam!
Great video Brendan. Really high quality articulation of some of the most important parts of training!
Great video man, really appreciate and would like to see more content on the coaching/ programming side of powerlifting
Thank you for clearly explaining these🎉

Can you do a video expanding more on #2?
Great video man! After your ascending topset do you do backoff sets as well or is the topset the last set?
Al Gore Rythm. Great content. I love to see the different methods laid out. Hopefully Dima's meet went well and he crushed it.
Thank You!!

Was just wondering, how do the progressions work from week to week for ascending and pyramids. Just seems a bit complicated to adjust RPEs and loads
How heavy/light do you typically program your back-off sets (RPE-wise)?
Great info. How are you liking NC so far?

How do you feel about working sets first followed by a top set(single,double or triple)?
