Finished Bridge 3.0 and plan on beginning Strength 1 after the new year.

After listening to the latest Barbell Medicine podcast about managing intensity I thought I would give this a try as towards the end of the Bridge template I wound commonly experience joint pains and other little niggles that wouldn’t really slow me down but I would have to work through.

I figured I would initially use the numbers from the end of The Bridge and calculate out my week one goal weights and take it from there. My plan is:

Day 1  
Squat with Belt  
One Set 3 @ RPE 7  
5x4 at 70% intensity

OHP  
One Set 3 @ RPE 7  
5x4 at 70% intensity

Pause Deadlift  
4x5 at 70% Intensity based on last bridge totals.

Day2  
Pause Squats  
5x4 at 70% intensity based on last bridge totals

Bench  
One Set 3 @ RPE 7  
5x4 at 70% intensity

Pendelay Rows  
4x10 at RPE 7

Day 3  
Deadlift w/ Belt  
One Set 3 @ RPE 7  
5x4 at 70% intensity

LBBS  
4X10 RPE 7

Bench/OHP Alternate Weeks  
5X10 @ RPE 6-7

My plan is the run this for 4 weeks and just sort of judge where it is going. Does this make sense or is it way out of wack?

Thanks!
