I’m about to begin Phase II of the Beginner Template and have long had a great affinity to Dips. I’m limited equipment-wise, so I was planning on selecting (Ring) Dips in place of Incline Bench. However, at this time I believe I can only do ~10-12 dips total with no added weight. The Program proscribes sets of 10 @ RPE 7, 8, & 9. Should I remove reps to hit those RPE’s or would it be more productive to do three sets of 10 even if they are all RPE9? Option B is to do close grip bench until strength increases to a point I can hit a set of 10 @RPE7 which might only be a few weeks.
Thank a lot. You all have been an amazingly incredible resource on my journey. Appreciate all that you do.
