Hi, I am about to switch over to The Bridge and BBM programming after my current program runs its course in 3 weeks time. I have a question regarding warming up. I have pretty much followed SS method through my LP and current program. Starting with empty bar x 2 x 5, then a set of 5, then 3, then doubles and singles to work sets. Is this also BBM way to warm up when looking for RPE for the day?

Tate,
We advise sticking with the same rep range all the way up to your work sets. In other words, if the workout tells you to go up to 4 reps @ RPE 9 and you think that's going to be ~315lbs, we'd recommend:
4 reps x _ sets with the empty bar
135 x 4 reps
185 x 4 reps
235 x 4 reps
260 x 4 reps (planned 4 @ 7, I think).
We think that gives the user a bit more volume, practice, and help determining the correct load for the day.Barbell Medicine "With you from bench to bedside"

Because I don't rest between the warmup sets, I find the warmup sets don't give me good indication of my correct load. To use your example above, if 260 is indeed my target [email protected], the 235 in the warmup set will feel like a @8 because of lack of rest before it.
Would you allow for some rest before the last warmup set for the sole benefit of determining the correct load?
