Loving TBIII - a few questions / discussion
Received my copy of TBIII earlier this week - immediately read it the first couple nights and have been poking back around since. This post isn't a review by any means (but have to say I LOVE the update and so much of it resonates with me - thanks again as always KB). A few questions / thoughts I wanted to run by the community:
A much repeated part of pairing conditioning with strength in TBII was keeping every 3rd week easy, reducing length and intensity of Cardio. I don't see any mentions of this or a similar concept in TBIII. Is this largely due to the switch to LIC from HIC as majority of sessions (particularly for Black)? Any thoughts on if the concept of continually reducing intensity of conditioning makes sense or isn't really needed?
Use of or of not training maxes has always been quite discussed on this subreddit and elsewhere. With the new %s in Op and no mention of TMs in the book, barring other factors is the presumption we largely should be basing %s on our actual 1RM or close to? Understand with forced progression now being the main progression type this is less important.
Any thoughts on the new %s in Op, particularly loss of the 90% and 95% weeks? I don't really see much explanation for the changes and removal of these weeks, any thoughts?
3a) How are you guys planning to utilize your Peak weeks and switch between the various types of Peaking options as you progress through?
Thanks - look forward to hearing your perspectives and I'm sure I'll have more questions as we go!
