Summary

This Friday’s question from our Discord. Eddydrizzle asks: Is there really an issue with “cookie-cutter” programming? For example, your programming methodology is working up to a single at whatever RPE is prescribed per lifter, and then you have backdowns with sets/reps/RPE varying per lifter as well. Accessories afterward vary as well, depending on the weak points of the lifter. Since the sets/reps/RPE are all customized to each individual lifter, is it really still a “cookie-cutter” program?
