I've often thought there would be really interesting experiment like to do uh I wouldn't do it but I'd like to oversee it I'd like to see it being done I guess which is um you take a powerlifter and their entire training cycle like six months building up to a competition they have no idea what's on the bar so they're basically they have a really good coach and the coach is telling them for every set how many reps to do or what rpe to go until so it's completely being programmed but you get out you eliminate the problem you just talked about which is you take the psychology away and you don't let the athlet suffer from knowing oh my God I should be able to do this many reps I should they don't know so one day they might get down on a bar and the bar is going to be really light and they're going to be told you're GNA you know I think you're going to get 10 reps here let's see it and they have no idea what percentage of their Max it ever is
