With regards to the AI stuff, for me the worst about it currently is the lack of flexibility in these "AI apps", you can't change the prescribed sets/reps, can't add/remove exercises from a given day, can't change the order of days or the order of exercises, etc. A lot of times the "AI" will prescribe insane workloads that the user can't alter other than skipping it, which defeats the purpose of the app in the first place.
The fact is they are not even AI, it’s just a marketing tactic. It is just if/then formulas in Excel. I’m sure for plenty of people they have good enough results for an app. It is just not going to be replacing coaches any time soon.
Most AI right now is simply a misnomer anyway, large language models simplyt do not have "intelligence" required for coaching. One can even make a larger point that AI will never reach the level of consciouness that will match human beings (currently it seems that way) which ties into the very well put point by Steve that a lot of coaching revolves around experionce and pyschology.
Thanks for the videos Steve, they're super informative. I've learned a lot from you. There's one thing that I wanted to ask you but I don't know if this is the place for that. I've seen completely polar opposite methods of prescribing weights work well for lifters. On one end you see RTS *in some cases* prescribing ramp up sets to an RPE9 on multiple exercises every week and you see their lifters get really strong. On the other end you see a more conventional approach of starting blocks at a low RPE (say 5 for example) and ramp up to a RPE9 over the course of say 4 weeks and you see lifters que really strong and too. Do you think that you can take a lifter that's thriving in the constant high intensity approach and have him still make progress using the conventional "ramping over a block" approach ? Do you think it also work the other wsy around ?
Yes, I have had many lifters come from that style of system (not necessarily specifically RTS) and it has worked great. Neither system is right or wrong and likely will work based on the coach knowing how to implement it correctly for each individual lifter.
I changed your 16 week program to 3 day cycle and added 50 kg to my total. Thank you
Welcome, awesome to hear and congrats!!
I apologize on how horribly I repeated the same thing over and over during that "adding novelty" question, that was bad haha
Best powerlifting channel by far
Thank you!
does static holds on bench and squat improve any of them? (i heard many people saying that it does)
I’m sure some people would argue they do, but not a fan myself
Steve your content just does not miss!
Thank you!
Love your free program. Running the 2022 one!
Thank you!
How is your work on the Back-end de-loading going?
Successfully? I hope so, i really like the idea. Can we expect the full video any time soon?
Video has already been recorded, and will be released on Powerlifting Now later this year!
Amazing content! Please keep bringing more videos like these! 💪
Thank you!

Thank You Sir 😊💪🙏
Most welcome!
Don’t you mean 48-72hr rest time when speaking about 2-3 rest days?
No, you have to factor in the days you lift as well. If you lift at noon, that’s 12 hours that day and the day of as well.
@@PRsPerformance Ahh Gotcha.
Is this going to be expanded upon in more detail eg where to place tertiary days with your planned training split vid?
@@mojohn1634 yes it will
Excellent video!
Thank you!

Great content as always, even for someone who's so small and weak, lol ; - )
Thank you!
