Exactly, thank you for posting this thorough explanation, Sir!It is very straightforward:
There are Heavy, Light and Medium days for Squats, Push and Upper Body Pull = three different RM-Zones for each type of lift.
For example, you can choose to do one type of Squat (say, Backsquat) with different weights for each day.
Or do Zercher Squats on heavy day, Pistols on medium day, and KB Front Squats on light day.
You get the idea.
You need to test each lift beforehand.
Then you enter each lift with it's rep max in to a simple excle file and everything else is calculated and spelled out. (Do 2-3-5-2-3 Pistols on your medium day, for example). You can choose for yourself to do the exercises as a slow circuit or seperately from another.
A bit like the tables from Simple Strength for Difficult Times pt. 2 - but with all the calculations done for you. You get personalized training tables for each lift.
Edit: And the three plans are labeled "minimalist" "regular" and "tough" - and the main difference is the volume. All plans are hypertrophy + strength without going to the burn.
