Clarification on Rep Prescription for BB I

Training Q&A [Moderated]
1

Hi BBM Team, could you please clarify how to approach the rep prescription for the main lifts on the newly updated Bodybuilding I template?

For example Exercise 1 on Day 1 for the second week says: 8 reps @ 7, 8 reps @ 8, Repeat the weight for 1 set of 8. For the “repeat” set–does the prescription mean to attempt 8 reps even it becomes a RPE 10? Meaning are we to not be concerned with the RPE for the “repeat” sets in this template?

Thanks for the clarification.

Yes, repeat the set at the same weight for 8 reps. I’m not worried about the RPE on that set explicitly, but I would record it!
