Powerbuilding I questions

Training Q&A [Moderated]
1

Hi, I’m just about to purchase powerbuilding I but I wanted to check something first

  1. does it have tempo squats? If so, is there an option to substituted these for a different leg exercise (I hate tempo squats)?
  2. can the routine be used in the long-run i.e. several months, or is the expectation that you run it once and then move onto a different template? I realise the answer may depend on an individual’s response to the routine
    Thanks!

Templates can be run repeatedly and modified as needed based on preferences and training response.

I’ve notice this with the bridge, but also on PB1 template I recently purchased. The programming uses a traditional pyramid; rpe 7, rpe 8 and then rpe 9. I have typically done the reverse pyramid, doing my hardest set after warmups and then putting in additIonal volume from there at lower weights as needed. I actually haven’t heard 5is addressed in any podcast or forum, but I’m sure it has been, just can’t find it. But this seems to the biggest difference in BBM training to me and makes me wonder about the data justifying traditional pyramid vs reverse. Does BBM have templates that go rpe 9,8,7? Please let me/us know any reasoning or research on this. Thanks guys!
