Renaissance Periodization

[bigpoppachump2]

Just throwing this out there for anyone else who spends a good amount of time on YouTube. I listen to various fitness channels during the day at work and I recently started listening to this channel. Decent info and training strategies for hypertrophy.

Renaissance Periodization is the name of the channel.

by science guys or some pros showing the techniques?

It's more on the PT trainer side. He calls himself DR but then again who doesn't on YouTube these days. But there is definitely good info be had on that channel. Take what's useful and and gloss over the rest type deal. Definitely better than the more plate more dates channel and channels like it

The only thing that I don't like about them is the "reps in reserve" training alike.

Yeah I dont leave much if anything in the tank.

I like the channel cause I've been training for 10 years pretty much but myself the entire time cept for a month here and a month there when someone asked me to help show them the ropes. In that 10 years I've developed some bad habits and some tendencies that held back my exercise from hitting the target muscle to the maximum potential.

Mike Israetel has an actual PhD in sport physiology.

I've yet to see anything he's put out that isn't scientifically backed up. The reps in reserve approach is just a periodization technique... I don't know why people resist it so much.

I think that people's misunderstanding of the concept goes against the grain of the prevalent "more is better" approach. People think that if you're not going to fail every time it's not effective training.

Renaissance periodization lifting and diet programs for just about any facet of powerlifting and bodybuilding. Very good company that provides fat loss diet templates, muscle gain templates, powerlifting, weightlifting, and bodybuilding programs.

Very good shit and well worth the money spent on the various programs. It really is a no nonsense scientific approach to everything.

RP is my jam. I use their diet app, I've used their physique template, and I use their progression techniques in my workouts.

I like to keep some reps in reserve on big lifts in the first 3/4 of a training cycle. I feel it helps me build strength better by being able to get in more quality volume. Going too hard off the bat on squats, deads, and bench just end up burning me out. By the time I would theoretically have a higher level of fitness, the fatigue and injury accumulation has stopped me from hitting PRs when I should've. The additional hypertrophy work you can just get from assistance exercises which you can take to failure. I believe he talks about it when he talks about the "stimulus to fatigue ratio"
