Hypertrophy 1 pre purchase question

Training Q&A [Moderated]

Hi guys, I recently got back to training after a few years layoff. Anyway I’m currently doing Starting Strength and linear progression is going well. I’ll do 1 or two back off periods like the practical programming book says. I was just wondering what do you recommend when linear progression come to an end?

Do I have to learn RPE :wink: and do the Bridge? Leah’s sticky post didn’t mention if Hypertrophy 1 uses RPE. I’ll learn RPE if it’s needed and it’s not going to be a deal breaker i’m just wondering if it’s needed.

Thanks for you help.

We have written and talked extensively about our recommendations for beginners and what to do beyond the “beginner” phase. You could start by reading this: The Beginner Prescription and/or the accompanying PDF, as well as checking out our podcast episode on beginner training from a couple months ago.

Our recommendation is that trainees learn to use RPE, yes.
