GPP Question: How many sets to expect in AMRAP set-ups?

Training Q&A [Moderated]
1

Dear Dr. Feigenbaum and Dr. Baraki,

In the 6~7 minute AMRAPS for arms and upper back GPP exercises, how many sets would you expect one to complete in the given time?

How long should I rest in between sets in an AMRAP GPP?

Sincerely,

Eddie Mun

There’s no real number here, as it depends if someone is doing “big” sets with many reps or “small” sets with few reps (or something in between). We would recommend minimal rest and a goal to keep each set at ~ RPE 7-8, while accumulating the maximum amount of volume possible in the allotted time.
