I was in the middle of writing the final chapters for my upcoming Strength Manual, and I was explaining Dose – Response models including the subjective ratings, when Israel Halperin sent me a draft version of his upcoming opinion piece on rating of perceived effort. Perfect timing! Reading this made me rethink a few things I wanted to cover, but it also prompted more questions. I wanted to pick Israel’s brain regarding ratings of perceived effort and other things, so we have decided to record our conversation into a podcast.

In this episode Israel and myself had a pleasure to host a guest speaker – Mike Tuchscherer. I know Mike since around 2007. when he published his (still) outstanding book “Reactive Strength Training”, a book that was the first book to outline usable and concrete strategies of autoregulated training using RPE set ratings.

In this episode, myself and Israel continued discussion on “training individualization” that I have started with the recent screencast.

In Episode #4 of Training Chats with Israel and Mladen, we are discussing about the concept of training transfer and resistance training. We also briefly touched the concept of transfer in combat sports.

In Episode #3 of Training Chats with Israel and Mladen, we discuss the the concept of phase potentiation in periodization.
