80% + overtraining
That's great...I'm pulling 70% at most. The rounds are killers! As far as my earlier post about overtraining...this is my second week of TT and after the first week's workouts I DEFINITELY felt overtrained. Then, I workout yesterday and Monday and find that my I was able to bench 20 lbs more and squat 20 lbs more on my fifth sets on base days. Granted I just started barbell bench again so some of it is adjusting to the motion, but still! Every exercise I've done has gone up in weight/reps, including ones that I was doing already for 10 weeks before I switched programs. I wasn't even able to eat much at all last week since I had dental shit done! I'll update as I go, but so far TT is great for me.

Tronius,
I don't know if you remember me or not, but I am the powerlifter who wants to try this workout but can't cuz' he's training for a meet. Well anyway, I went on vacation for a week, and had to lift at a pussy country club type gym, where powerlifting wouldn't really be safe or possible. Since I had to take a week off of training, I decided to do TT for a week just for fun. Here are the results.
1). It is hard as shit
2). I increased my caloric intake by 25-40%, and still got noticeable leaner.
3). Gained 5lbs.
4). Had a non-stop pump all week.
5). I hit a PR this week when I went back to my PL'ing workout, and I expect to hit a few more.
The only differences I employed were doing a TKD instead of a CKD, because I knew I wouldn't be able to do the high reps without the pre-wkt carbs. I also drank an entire liter of diluted Gatorade mixed with 5 grams of BCAA's and Glutamine each (my own version of the product Glutacene). I think this really saved my ass in terms of soreness. Nonetheless, I give this workout two big fat thumbs up, and I am planning on finding a way to work it in to my powerlifting lifestyle. Any suggestions are appreciated. Later,
Joe

Tronious,
I generally only do two meets a year. My training cycles are about 12-14 wks. long with one week for the meet and one week for rest afterwards. That leaves me with at worst 20 wks. left. I could get in two cycles of TT. What I think would be fun to toy with would be alternating 8wks of TT with a condensed 8wk. PL cycle indefinitely. It would certainly keep things fresh. I think I would have a hard time convincing my partners to try that though. Something to think about...................
