GORILLA SQUAD STRENGTH
Explanation & introduction
Thank you New Gorilla Squad Member for purchasing The Vanilla Gorilla training program.
Strength is a journey and to be successful you must learn to love the grind of training. This training will likely be something very different than you are used to, and
may take some time getting used to – but it WILL work.
Strength is an equation with only two variables – cross section area of the muscle and central nervous system firing efficiency. We achieve hypertrophy with higher
rep and higher volume schemes, and neuro-muscular efficiency by high intensity. Both of these are the primary goals in this program.
I program based on ranges of 'Rate of Perceived Exertion' (RPE) for auto-regulation. Auto-regulation is the body naturally controlling itself and monitoring fatigue by
only performing what you are capable of on a given day. To achieve your session for the day, you will see prescribed exercises, sets, reps, RPE range, and suggested
% range. You can find the weight you will be working with for the day by one of two ways.
1. RPE Range: The RPE range describes the difficulty in which all working sets for the day must fall within. If the RPE range is between 8-9, then all working sets
counted must be no easier than 8 and no harder than 9. Keep in mind if you are unsure between two numbers, you can use increments of 0.5.
2. Suggested %: These percentage numbers correspond to the specific exercise you are performing, not the compound competition movement. If you know your 1
rep max for a specific exercise, these percentages will give you a good guideline of the weight you should be working with. Tips to estimate your 1 rep max without
testing it are described below. When performed ideally, the RPE range and % Range will require the same challenge.
