This, but initially Mon/Tues heavy, until you are in shape, and then switch to Thurs/Fri heavy.

The volume days will be harder than the heavy days, I like to put them at the start of the week as you will be more fresh, mentally too

yuno % max instead of rpe? just curious. if it's a new lifter, % max is a bit of a misnomer anyway.

It's a pretty effective tool actually. It works really well with my clients even novices.

Autoregulation is used by pretty much all coaches in powerlifting. Some use Bar speed with a speed tracker, other use RPE or/and APRE.
