They've already got someone who trains there with a key mate he has Wednesday's off as he drinks on a tuesday night. Yearly subs due not sure what to do.Could you ask the owner if you would be allowed to open up the gym for them?

When adding your weights do you count the bar? What does an Olympic bat weigh? I only calculate my plates, I could be breaking records without knowing it (I’m not)
None of your beeswaxOr the safety bar in my gym which is 30kg.
Is the bar weight pushing you above Eddie’s deadlift record like?

If it's just too protect your teeth you can get a cheaper one that just fits anyone, I use a 6ds mouthpiece it's more expensive but I really like it because I can breath whilst keeping my teeth clenchedDoes anyone have a recommendation for a gumshield please? Had a quick look last night but there seems to be a massive variety of prices and not sure whether it's the type of thing worth making an investment in a better quality one. Literally ground out the last bench rep on Wednesday and teeth are still feeling uncomfortable now, so think it may be a wise investment!

Nah I just bought that straight away, I doubt it really has any help for increasing lifts but it's lasted me about a year because I only use it for last sets or singles.Thanks. Had you tried other ones before and then upgraded? I'm worried about buying something cheaper and then ending up buying twice if it's not really up to the job in a couple of months' time - a bit like with my bench, bought a flat one but now wishing I'd got one with at least an incline option...

Benched to sets of RPE9 then load drop sets to RPE9 three days in a row.
Shoulders feel disgusting.
Just buy a cheap one, stick it in your kettle and then bite down and suck until it moulds to your teeth. Don't waste your money on an expensive one.
That volume & frequency combo
I have been benching to working sets RPE 9, then load drop to RPE9 4 days a week.
Programme now drops to one RPE9 bench day and two RPE8 days for a few weeks.
This Mike Tuscherer chap knows what he’s doing imo iirc there.
Indeed. The RTS approach is how I program a lot of people, although I find RiR works better than RPE for the bigger movements
RiR is pretty much the way I’ve always approached RPE anyway tbf as its way easier to conceptualise “I could have done another rep there.” Than “Well that was a 9.”
Also something could feel like a 9 but you could be very aware you messed your technique up.
I think it's far more practical tbh. A lot easier to process when under the bar too. "Shit, I think I only hit RPE 7.5, I'll just do another"... *Hits RPE 10*.
The relative 'unknown' can have a negative effect on warm ups in some people I've found too. But that goes for RiR or RPE.
Are you directing the majority of your recovery capacity to bench, or hitting a few lifts with that approach atm?
