I’ve pressed 225x5 beltless before but this is the first time since open triple hernia surgery, 10 months ago. For about 4 months after that it felt like I’d never be able to brace my abs hard again. And now a mere 6 months later, 225x5 flies up on a low stress week. Not everything heals, but given time, almost everything

I wouldn’t characterize either RPE as a church or this as some tea leaves to read in to.

Yeah just more proof of the cognitive dissonance between SSCs and Starting Strength’s stance on RPE. Most of them use it and they know it works

I think Wolf has been pretty nuanced in his many posts on the subject. He also hasn’t been antagonistic in this whole affair, at least not publicly.

Yep, I don’t think we can take this one statement to mean anything except that he took a low stress week. The idea of a deload is pretty key to Zatsiorsky’s programming materials as well.
