Hello and welcome to The Progress Theory where we discuss how to implement scientific principles to optimise human performance. I’m Dr Phil Price and on today’s episode, we have Powerlifting coach, Mike Tuchscherer.
When training for strength and endurance simultaneously, the body is put under so much stress from different types of stimuli that it is hard to plan programming so far in advance. Training has to be autoregulated to account for variations in how we respond to these different stimuli. In this episode, Mike and I discuss the use of a subjective measure like a rating of perceived exertion (RPE) for programming strength training, and how it can be utilized to account for the different ways athletes respond to strength training.
But before we get to the show I want to thank our sponsors, who the show would not be possible without.
