Dr Andy Galpin is epic. His YouTube videos are amazing info.
Yes I follow the Prilepin chart, you’ll get away with more using PEDs but could really get a lot less out of the drugs really contradicting the principles.

Ok cool, good to know
Do you also follow the correct amount of rest ratios as per your goals?

I found even for 1 or 2 rep pure strength training that 3 minutes was optimal for back squats.
I experimented all the way up to 7 minutes rest.
I was doing 10 sets of 2 reps on back squats
Resting longer I performed worse across those 10 sets because I would lose the neural activation and start to feel sluggish rather than my CNS firing hard.
The same for power work - that sweet spot of being very alert without accumulating fatigue.
So do you also utilize the optimal rest periods as per goals?
Endurance rest periods vs hypertrophic rest periods vs strength rest periods?
This is of course variable with all lifters and can change with age also
If I am performing maximal effort squats or DL's my sweet spot is around 4 to 4.5 minutes these days at almost 50 years old.. but I used to roll 3 to 4 minutes when I was younger.. that said, sometimes the longer side of that was due to too much gum flapping..
