Chin Ups - Hypertrophy 1 Template

Training Q&A [Moderated]
1

Hi,

I apologize beforehand if this has already been answered.

I recently purchased the Hypertrophy 1 template. When choosing what movement to include in the program, I opted for Chin-ups as a deadlift accessory (2*PULL #1). The program instructs me to work up in weight to complete 12 reps @ rpe 7,8,9. The issue is that 12 reps at my current bodyweight is a rpe 9 for me. So, do I just do 1 set and forgo the other two sets (rpe 7,8). Should I just do as many chins as possible until I hit rpe 7/8/9, to get the volume/practice? Not sure how to approach this, and would appreciate any help/recommendation. Thanks,

Ryan

Hi Ryan,

You have a couple of options here, but I would still get that pulling volume in. So you can do band/assisted pulls up for the other two sets. Or you could do 3-4 sets of sub max sets to get you to that volume. Or you can choose another pulling option. :slight_smile:
