He won't write it down or type it up for some reason.

I guess this makes you listen to their podcast,
I'm trying to write it out myself while a listen,
but seems all over the place.

I don't know what the point of the @8RPE back off set
AFTER you've burnt yourself out doing a AMRAP set.

I feel like this should probably be in the shitposting forum, in all seriousness, because he gives terrible advice.

This seems like Sharknado, or Zombeavers. Making something simply because of the wordplay title.
If you don't know, Renoylds 531 is high quallity steel tubing used for making bicyle frames.

531 is not high quality.

it seemed like wendler did a better job of "fixing" 531 in beyond 531 then Reynolds did. For people who pride themselves on their intellect, I wonder why they don't read the books before pooping on the idea?

Neither is the play on words in this guy's program name.

If OGs internet program peddler like Rip and Wendler would get over their pride and adopt RPE as a superior tool for assigning weights, they could modify their programs themselves. But they insist on using their own terminology and thus fall behind in the modern progression of improving programming.
