Bridge 2.0 Questions - likely related to other templates

I’m a Novice lifter, just wrapped up LP and starting Bridge 2.0. I think I’ve mostly figured the template out, just have one or two questions:

  • AMRAP work should be done in submaximal sets - Which sets are submaximal? This applies just to C-* lifts?

In the podcasts you guys mention an approximate 5% delta between RPE increments, but using the calculator to figure Reps @ RPE, it looks more like 3-3.6% ah, well, I guess that’s not that big a deal, nevermind.

Upper Back work – not sure how to dice this one – pick a weight I can do 6 minutes? AMRAP then rest, only counting the time done doing reps?

Thanks! Signed up for a meet in December so looking forward to putting in some work.

Hi there and welcome!

Amrap work-this is only prescribed for GPP on the Bridge 2.0. No barbell training days indicated AMRAP work.

Upper back-yes, basically. You pick a weight (if using a barbell movement, otherwise you just do bodyweight reps), do a sub-maximal set, rest briefly and repeat over and over. Continue this cycle until the 6 minutes are up.

Congrats on the meet sign up!

Got it – the placement next to the “Competition Deadlift” Cell as opposed to immediately under the GPP cells confused me I guess. All makes sense now!

Very excited about this community and all the information and motivation you all provide! Purchased a few templates this past week, so will run Bridge 2.0 then move to the 12-week strength and should just about line up for my meet.

Thanks to all of you and my gym/team I look forward to powerlifting being a part of my life!
