I'm trying to find a thread from a while back, but the non-plat search is a joke. Can a plat help please? I know it's a bit cheeky asking, but I'm not paying for plat to do one search.
The thread talked about the progression in the first few years of lifting, based around Mark Rippetoe's programs and the 5x5. It went from Rippetoe's 3 PRs a week program, to single factor 1x PRs a week, then maybe 3-4 PRs every 6-7 weeks as you keep having to reset the weights, then ultimately to dual factor where you get 1 PR every 8 weeks. The thread more than likely mentioned Practical Periodization, so a search for that ought to find it (I'll search through the Practical Periodization results manually).
Many thanks.
