Hey BBM crew,
My wife will be undergoing a revision of last year’s hip surgery in another couple of weeks. She’ll be laid up for a bit but this new template looks perfect for getting her back on the platform! Looking over the program, I noticed on W3D1 for Deadlift: 8@6, 8@7(x2), 8@8. On no other day can I find where there is more than one set prescribed for any set at RPE@7.
Is it safe to assume that this may be a typo and that “8@6, 8@7, 8@8(x2)” would be correct? I know this is fundamentally hair-splitting…I blame my OCD. :o (my apologies if this has already been addressed elswhere)
Thank you again for all the diligently researched material you so freely provide!

Ghostrider,
Happy to hear your wife will start training and hope she tolerates the revision well!
As far as the 2nd set at RPE 7, no- that’s not a typo. We’re aiming to gradually increase stress and that’s one way we’re doing that.

Thanks for your reply, sir! The template looks great and I certainly wish it had existed 2014 when I started this journey :p.
My wife is currently in week #4 of GPP Endurance template (Legacy) and really getting the hang of RPE. Trust me when I say if SHE can learn and effectively use RPE then ANYONE can.
I think you’re really going to make a difference with this beginner template for the new generation of folks just starting their weightlifting journey.
Keep up the great work and good luck in your strongman comp!
