2 Q's for "Powerbuilding I" Template

Training Q&A [Moderated]
1

Hello

Two questions for the “Powerbuilding I” template:

1.) If the backoff sets for prescribed myoreps is 3-5, the premise is that I will stop doing backoff sets once I achieve only 2 reps for a backoff set (i.e., 2 @ RPE 10), correct?

2.) Regarding “Dumbbell Press or Press (no belt)” that are AMRAP followed by 12-rep sets: For all of my training history, I’ve done all barbell presses standing up. If I do these high-rep dumbbell press sets sitting down instead of standing up, does that affect the intended utility of this movement in the program?

Thanks!

Hey Sievert,

  1. Not necessarily. If you did 5-5-5-3, you’d stop at the set of 3. Check out this article Myo-Reps | Barbell Medicine

  2. Not really, no.
