Chad continues his training on the Juggernaut A.I. System, this week doing heavy sets of 5 in the bench press and squat.
The beta version of our revolutionary Artificial Intelligence Powerlifting Coaching system has arrived and will give you the most individualized and responsive powerlifting programming of any product available. This is not a template, this is totally individualized for you based upon the Scientific Principles of Strength Training and adjusted for your…
-Height
-Weight
-Strength in Squat, Bench and Deadlift
-Experience
-Lifestyle Factors like Diet, Sleep and Stress
-Historical Workload and Recovery Ability
With this information, the Juggernaut AI Coaching system will create a program specifically for you with…
-Individualized Minimum Effective Volume and Maximum Recoverable Volume thresholds
-Optimized Training Frequency
-Personalized Phase Periodization Strategy
-Exercise Selection Based Upon Your Weakpoints
The individualization of your program doesn’t stop when it is created though, it continues to adapt and grow with your feedback. The program dynamically adjusts at many levels including…
-Intra Session. The weights of your top set will adjust based on your feedback during warmups and back down sets/secondary exercises change based on the weight you use in your primary exercise.
-Intra Week. Your performance in a primary session earlier in the week will influence subsequent sessions later in the week.
-Week to Week. Based on your numbers, fatigue and feedback from this week’s session, the system will adjust your session for the following weeks.
-Cycle to Cycle. The system will look at your numbers and fatigue averages for the entire training cycle and adjust your deload and next training cycle accordingly.
We are so excited for the release of Juggernaut AI Coaching and truly feel that it is unparalleled in the customization and attention to detail it will provide to you as a lifter. Join this program in the Beta stage to lock in the lowest price Juggernaut AI Coaching will ever be and help us refine the system even more to create the best programming possible as we prepare Juggernaut AI Coaching for its release as a Mobile App in early 2019.

Nice couch coach.
Amazing beard Chad!
Looking leaner Chad
Awesome stuff. BTW, can I have dat spreadsheet?
tidy up dat couch!
If you're constantly modifying parts of your workout, then it creates a gap between what you enter into the program vs. what you actually do – hence, sort of defeating the purpose of having an "AI coach."
And yes, I am aware that even with real (human) coaches, athletes tend to go off program here and there; however, a human coach has a more flexible way of accounting for such anomalies compared to the "AI coach." Just my two cents.
this series could be so much better if it wasnt done by chad "i lift since i'm 5y old so i do whatever" wesley smith. get a normal lifter doing it that sticks to the program and the idea behind it.
Looking Swole 🙂
Really cool training vlog, thanks
To whom this my concern, I ran a cycle already which had me doing a top set of 5 @RPE 10 and I PRd on all three lifts and this was coming back after a recent meet as well . ?
It's a bit confusing when you modify too much, going off what the AI instruct you to do… kind of defeats the purpose? of the AI?
Casual Marisa in the background is casual
Life is good when Marisa is your training partner.
Who gives a rats ass if it’s AI or not. If it works and helps me improve, that’s all I care about
Its confusing. When the series started you said you'd be using it for yourself, but in the first vlog was a 20 min list of excuses and reasons why your not going to run your own program. Your trying to sell this, yes? Chad you're the man but you're obviously blowing this.
Everything kinda looks like it’s about 10% too heavy. I think you went down the same rabbit hole I go down when I start a new mesocycle with weights that are too heavy effectively not giving myself room to ramp up 5% or so week to week. Are you tracking session RPEs, Chad?
Hey Chad – For a senior guy (read 60) who has no interest in doing meets/competing etc, is this program applicable for just get a (*little*) stronger and building some muscle up (15+ yrs lifting but getting mature these days so not loading up heavy heavy anymore – kills my knees!) love basic lifting Squat/DL/Bench/OH though ?
Dont mind if others my age want to chime in 🙂
I agree. If the AI coach is worth anything, then it should recommend something you can follow and benefit from. I would hope it is better than what you already know.
How long will it take Chad to squat 900 agian?
bang bang bangin on fools
I'm glad I watched this before I lifted today. I didn't realize my work capacity was lacking when it came to lifting once I got through peak/meet and back into a strength block. I was definitely sucking, I just wasn't as pissed since I watched this first 🙂 Thanks for posting man, good stuff.
At everyone below me. He is participating in two sports currently, so yes he will have to adjust and he is considered Elite. If you have never done a full program 16-26 weeks weather it be template or whatever you will make adjustments during that time period because they are necessary. Things happen and you make adjustments as needed but use the program as the guideline to still help you make the best call to benefit the overall end goal.
Just started the program and here is my first week review:
Me: 82kg, intermediate lifter. B= 215, d=381, s: 341. Late 30s. Four-day week program. Power meet coming up in 8 weeks. Calorie deficit.
Out of the box, I realize that I made a few minor mistakes on exercise selection when filling out the information sheet. I do not have a reverse hyper or a glute machine ( I actually didn't know what they were and assumed my gym had them). I sent an email to Gareth and asked if he didn't mind just correcting those before I got started. He sent me a new sheet a day other exercise is substituted. It's super cool of him.
I didn't realize it until the first workout of the new program, but apparently came into this new program with a lot of fatigue. I was in the third week of a really intense portion of my own self design program. I had just started a calorie deficit to make this weight class and add way overdone my volume to previous two weeks, assuming I could handle what I could before in a calorie Surplus. I felt pretty awful my first workout because I assumed my fatigue wasn't that hi and had wrote down the numbers for a number one fatigue in all of my lifts. ( This is a minor critique I have of the existing program the way I understand it will be remedied once it's an app: You don't know your fatigue until your second warm up set. Therefore you don't know weights you should use unless you have your laptop with you at the gym. what I end up having to do was toggle each scenario of fatigue levels 1 through 5, for each exercise, and write a little Matrix on a piece of paper to bring with me to the gym. not a huge deal, but kind of annoying do you have to do an extra step. I guess you can copy and paste it into an email to yourself also. And then of course, you need to write down what you actually did at the gym and bring it back and punch it back in the program.
By the second workout, I did a better job it Addressing fatigue and basing my workout on the appropriate fatigue numbers and it went a lot better. By the end of the week, I nailed my lifts and itwas pretty spot-on and predicting how much weight in volume to do. so I'd say this program works regardless of what level of fatique you come into it. There might be a day of adjustment to the system, but it gets you sorted out pretty quickly.
All in all, it was a great first week. I liked all the ancillary exercises as I hadn't really been doing anything other than the core lifts recently. Also, some days have more volume than others and it's nice having a variety of short and long days (21 sets max day, 6 on the short day).
How does your program go from day 4 to day 1 in the same week?
Next A.I. log, pretty please?
