Back off sets

Hello everyone, im on the 6th week of the HLM template and ive been wondering about the percentages for the back-off sets.

For example on the bench im doing 1@8 followed by 4@9. After that it calls for 3 sets of 4 @82%. Am i supposed to be using 82% of my E1RM or 82% of the weight for 4@9?

On some other movement it specificly calls for % of E1RM but on others it doesnt. Tried looking for an answer but couldnt find it with the ssearch tool. Thanks in advance!

Hey Teemu, welcome to the forum.

That should be 82% of e1rm based on your 1@8
