HA HA....sorry about that. I can't stand the RPE thing myself. I do agree, anything that high sucks balls.
My workout earlier this week was :
1rd every 10 mins for 4 rounds.
400m run
30 cal rogue echo bike
400m run
(you rest for whatever time you have left in the 10 mins....in my case....I MAYBE got 2 - 2 1/2 mins rest each round). That 2nd 400m is like running in water.
Another day it was
1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10 Deadlift @275
10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 Bench @ 185
Got it done in 9:22....fucking brutal. (so you do 1 dead, then 10 bench, 2 dead, then 9 bench, etc)
Sounds awful. But I bet you feel great an hour after it's done.
I'm two weeks into the program. I have not been doing any distance running, so the running days are crushing me.
Sat was run 1.5 miles at max time, meaning RPE 9/10, then waiting 10 minutes and doing it again.
Wed was:
Run 5 min for max distance, wait 2 min, repeat for 3 sets. Then do three more at max distance in 2 min......running like that sucks because it's hard to pace, you just go and gas, and it feels like shit.
Program description below in case you're interested. I picked it because the workouts are under 1:15, I felt it was a challenge, I work from home and have a full crossfit box type gym in my basement, and have no excuses. We'll see if my body can handle the workload, as I find 6x week to be a little much:
We've taken Juggernaut, an absolute fan favorite, and updated it to feature a host of our most potent training tools like Green PT, Cognitive Loading, and Isometric Holds. This demanding cycle retains the original aggressiveness of Juggernaut and now works to increase how effectively the gains developed in the gym transfer back to real life.
The 6 training days will see you blending in foundational strength lifts like the Squat, Press, and Deadlift, with awkward object carries and sprinting. However, this wouldn't be Juggernaut without some truly nasty stamina components!
During the Green PT sessions we'll be providing you an opportunity to blur the line between training and real life; requiring you to move, think and operate under pressure and fatigue, all whilst wearing your occupational gear.
For anyone who's already familiar with the original Juggernaut cycle, you'll be aware of how tough this program is. Consequently, we'd encourage anyone following this to focus on optimizing their sleep and nutrition in order to help maximize recovery between sessions. We'd also strongly advise you not to attempt to stack this cycle with any other training programs.
